First time trying actual southern bbq and this place is amazing! I got the brisket plate with the mac and cheese and collard greens and the ribs with the mash and mac and cheese and both were SOOO amazing! Definitely check this place out!!
Update your website. It was a wasted trip from Grovetown.

Not to jinx it, but we're confused why there's not a line out the door. It's really, really excellent bbq. The brisket was outstanding, the ribs and chopped pork delicious, and the sides were out of this world. We had coleslaw, hash and rice, collard greens, sweet potatoes, potato salad, and mac and cheese (these last two were particularly great). The bread pudding and banana pudding were excellent, and the peach cobbler very tasty. All great; come here for an excellent meal.

When think of hidden gem you think of Rays hands down very good barbecue everything was on point. Definitely have to come back when I'm in town. Make sure you try this spot they will not disappoint you.

WOW! We are really late learning about Rays! But this will definitely be our new Bar BQ joint! Like a review I read, the outside isn't pleasing to the eyes, but the inside was very good, very clean and neat. Next time I will eat in! The young man that took our order was very professional. He let us look at our food before bagging it and I must say, presentation is everything! It looked just as good as it tasted! And the peach cobbler, amazing!

Came on a Thursday at 3 pm because I’ve tasted the food and wanted to purchase a plate to share the same experience with my husband. They were closed after we’ve waited all week. I was very disappointed that they were not open at the time and day they said they would be open. Don’t think I’ll be coming back….

Visited Augusta, GA for the first time over the weekend my husband and I. We were headed back to NC late Saturday and decided to stop by Ray's for my husband to grab some lunch after a disappointing breakfast. At first glance of the building it was deceiving of the delicious food that awaits you on the inside. He went in and came back to the truck with his food. Opened it and it looked amazing. He allowed me, lol to taste his ribs which was so tender and delicious and I got a little carried away with his food that it led me into Ray's to order my own. Try It! You will enjoy it as we did. Rib Plate with ribs, mac/cheese/green beans/ Texas toast. Yum, Yum..

If your looking for some good fall off the bone finger licking good BBQ this is the place to go to. They customize your order just the way you want it and it's hot and fresh. I recommend this with 1000,000 stars if I could.

Great bbq

I must say this is the best food I have eaten since I've been in Augusta. I am known as a great cook so most people feel my expectations are too high. However I just wanted something fulfilling and I got that today. I wish I had known about this restaurant earlier. Trust me I will be back. The ribs, macaroni and cheese, texas toast, baked beans and peach cobbler is delicious.....I will brag on this....yes indeed. Friendly staff also
