Great barbecue!!!
Friends told me I should give it a try, and they kept describing it as a food truck. But it's actually a semi permanent trailer, and there is outdoor seating.And waited in line for my turn to order. And as soon as I saw the Jerk Chicken sandwich on the top of the board, that was what I ordered.I was happy with the sandwich and the side of collards. The sandwich had a good taste and a heat that slowly built. And a good value for the price.
Everything was really good. I’m not a big smoked meat fan but loved the chicken. The collard greens were awesome
We were craving a good BBQ and they didn't disappoint everything was delicious we tried the meat sweats because it comes with a little bit of everything.The meat fell off the bone as it should and the flavor was divine.There's always a line so you know it's a great place and they are super friendly they have enough sitting area outside and a bar on the inside.
Ray Ray's first came to our attention when Johnny Fugitt found a home for this food truck in his The 100 Best Barbecue Restaurants in America (2015). In the interim, Food & Wine's David Lansel hailed Ray Ray's and Eli's as the top two BBQ joints in the state. Vacation Idea lists both in the nation's top 25; Taste of Home scores Eli's #3 and Ray Ray's #21. Yahoo Travel rates Ray Ray's #1 in the Buckeye State.And this, our 295th BBQ stop in 32 states, is still going strong, and living up to its reputation.$28 purchased 2 pieces of jerk chicken with a side of collard greens, and a burnt ends special with onions and red peppers accompanied by a side of mac 'n cheese. We were also generously gifted with a couple of ribs. The jerk chicken has great smoke and flavor, and we strongly recommend the burnt ends dish. The mac 'n cheese was traditional in both texture and flavor, while the greens were outstanding ... going light on both the vinegar and the seasoning. The ribs also had a tasty rub, but needed a bit more time to reach the point where the meat would separate cleanly at the bite.So, this is a great food truck 'cue stop, and we look forward to visiting again the next time we are in Columbus.If you would like to read more reviews of BBQ in Ohio, or elsewhere in the continental US, you can consult our 49 published lists by following us, and then scrolling down through the current stack of reviews and photos.

The brisket sandwich was soooo good. A ton of meat that was so juicy & great taste!! My wife's pulled pork was juicy, flavorful, huge & over the top very filling. Great sandwiches, we will be back when we are in Columbus. Great job guys!!! You got 5 stars from both of us!!
Jerk chicken is outstanding. Everything is a party on your palate!
Definitely worth the trip!This is one of the best BBQ pork/smoked meats in the city. The kicker for me was the mac&cheese, it's a great thick cheddar cheese sauce and will leave you satisfied! ?
This is probably the best pulled pork I have ever tried. This place is soooo good!
I have to say Best BBQ in Ohio! My to go location is Clintonville! Stopped by today and got the Smoked Bologna Sandwich and Pull Pork Sandwich with a side of waffle fries! It was excellent! Customer service is always great there! We are going to try the new restaurant in Granville next weekend! My favorites are the Ribs and the Meat Sweats!!
