I’m not sure where to even begin with how bad the service was at this restaurant. For starters, I made a reservation for 12 people. We show up at our reserved time, and they had given our table to a different group. The only 2 options we were given is they could move us to a different section but we would not be sat together (which was the whole point of the reservation, so we could sit together) or they could sit us in the same original section but they only had one server there so our food was going to take longer. We decided to go with the first option and were sat almost 20 minutes after our reserved time. Once we sat down, our server took a while to take our drink order and even longer to bring our drinks to us. He forgot drinks that we had to remind him to bring. Once we put our food in, 2 orders were of appetizers, nearly 50 minutes passed and they finally brought 2 main dishes out, our appetizers still nowhere to be seen. When we brought this up to the server, he gave some excuse about the main dishes needing to come out first and the deep fryer being backed up and no apologies were given for how long we’d been waiting at this point. I also didn’t know you needed a deep fryer for artichoke dip or nachos. Our food finally came out after waiting for nearly an hour. During our time of waiting, drinks were not refilled, we asked for crayons for a kid and those never came, we asked for napkins and we got 3 (for 11 people), a water was spilled, no one ever came to clean it up so we sat at our table full of water the entire time. At the end, we told the server how we wanted the bill split and that was wrong too. From beginning to end, the entire experience was probably the worst I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The manager never came to check on us after we were sat, and no apologies ever came from the server that continuously got things wrong. It’s such a shame because I’ve always been a fan of Ray J’s Minneapolis location. I’m not sure how the Woodbury location for everything so terribly wrong. Avoid this location all together if you can. Worst experience ever.

Great sports bar

Nice sports bar.

Very loud bar so it's difficult to have a conversation with another person across the table

Nathanial was our server and he did a great job. The place is always busy which I love to see and the staff are always attentive every time I go. The bone in wings are HUGE and delicious, the caesar salad is really good, and so is their pasta. Will continue on coming here!

The owners of this place are the nicest people i have ever met. I ate every wing and my lord ??. it was so good??. and the service was amazing literally can’t get better. and the atmosphere?? there are always little kids so excited and happy for the arcade. the arcade is actually the best. they have a ton of different things to do and it is truly amazing. i wish there were more stars to give but sadly there isn’t. also great pricing! i will 100% be coming back.

Ordered the kabob chicken- supposedly comes with veggies - rice - house garlic sauce - I received a salad with no dressing and dried kabobs with just rice ? This is unacceptable! I’ve ordered this before and it was amazing! Way to ruin a good customer! I’m done-

Wings are fantastic! Fun pull tabs. Different scene then what I was used to in Wisconsin but the regulars are super nice there.
Great environment for watching your sporting event. Also, the dining room is nice for family functions (birthdays, anniversaries, and business meetings). The best part in my opinion is the food. Always good quality, priced right, and an exciting menu.

I met a few cousins and their spouses for dinner last night. This was my first time at a Ray J's. We ordered the wings to start. They were very good. Everyone said their food was good but nothing extraordinary. I had the Gyro. It was huge but tasteless. Honestly, the meat in those frozen kits at the grocery store have more taste. My biggest problem was the service. Our server was pleasant but; *Never offered beverage refills *Never took away all the dirty plates *Never asked if we wanted dessert
The place was not very busy so it wasn't like the server had a bunch of other tables
I won't be back.

We got good food and great service! Gina was attentive and friendly, and she connected with our teen about competitive sports. My wings were especially good! We will be back.
Kid-friendliness: Decent kids menu and definitely kind to kids.
