Ray Ray’s Hog Pit - Granville: Reviews & Ratings
My husband and I love good BBQ and Ray Rays didn't disappoint! Ordered their BBQ sandwich lunch special Pulled Pork, a side of Mac and got an additional side of fries....they season them in dill salt and OMG. The food and value for the money was incredible! I ate 1/4 of my food and took the rest to go for the 1.5 hour drive home. Spoke with the GM she was wonderful! I wanted to bring food home to my husband. She suggested the "Meat Sweats" sampler and it was a hit! Even after the long drive and being reheated everything was still so tender, not dry at all and not fatty all good meat. Loved their selection of sauces, the mustard and the Carolina were my favorite and the sriracha aioli for the fries as well. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. I'm hoping they will continue expand to the Marietta area we desperately need a place like Ray Rays!
Went in there lookin for Ray Ray cause i heard the btch had a dump truck of a behind. Never found her, but i got a good handy by the dumpster out back by a woman that looked like Rosie o donnell. Hell of an adventure
Great food and on the DDD trail. Ribs were soft and amazing. Cornbread is to die for. Service was average.
I love BBQ. I have had BBQ just about everywhere in this country. Brisket in Texas, Pork in NC, Ribs in Kansas City and Memphis - If i have been there, I have searched out and tried the BBQ. I tried 3 things at Rays: 1. Sausage link. It was ok. Not great, not bad, just ok. 2. Carolina Chopped Pork Sandwich. One of the best I have ever had. I like to make my own Pork and am very picky about pork being too dry, not enough sauce etc. This sandwich ruled. Definitely one of the best I have ever had outside of NC. 3. Brisket Sandwich. I have been to a lot of BBQ places are good but usually they suck when it comes to brisket. The best brisket I ever had was this place up north of Dallas, I think it was in Frisco. That place had a line out the door and the brisket was unbelievable. Rays Brisket is the best I have had since I was at that place in Frisco. Not dry at all, flavorful and the perfect balance of fat and meat. For me, when I want good BBQ I like pork and brisket. Rays excels at both. I did not eat sides just meats. Can't wait to get back to Granville for more.
Ray Ray's is a solid spot for Texas BBQ and I've enjoyed it many times at their food trucks so I was excited to try their Brick and Mortar in Granville! The statue of a pig at the entrance immediately signaled how serious they were about their meat. They had a spacious indoor seating area with lots of games you could play as well. I tried a sample platter so I could try a little bit of everything. Their brisket definitely sold the show. It was tender and seasoned well without being overly salty. Their pork ribs were also very tasty and the chicken had a nice jerk seasoning on it, with pickled onions for extra texture. The sausage was definitely on the more seasoned side and their burnt ends were a bit tough. The pickles that came with the BBQ helped provide freshness so I could enjoy more meat! I appreciated their assortment of BBQ sauces and there was a sauce for everyone, whether you like it spicy or sweet! As for sides, their Mac and cheese was creamy and hearty, and went well with the meat. Their servers were really friendly and made sure we were taken care of, even though we rushed in 30 minutes before closing.
Tried this for the first time, and it certainly won't be the last. Ambiance is pleasant and fits the menu. We had wings and fries, and they were absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back and try more from their menu.
Came here to sit down and have some BBQ. Everything was great. Sides: Fries were nicely seasoned. Mac and cheese still had some texture to it and was nicely flavored. Collards were a little boring though. BBQ: Jerk chicken was still juicy and had good flavor without being too spicy. Pulled pork was the most unremarkable thing in the platter and it was still very good. Brisket was fork tender, perfectly rendered and Delicious. Sausage wasn't for me but I'm not a big sausage person. Ribs were great, tender without falling off the bone. It's not a table service place - it's a BBQ joint you don't really expect table service. Nice and clean restaurant though. It wasn't busy when we were there on a Sunday afternoon.
