Went off of a referral from family, but was disappointed. My husband and I both got 3 meat meals. We had brisket, ribs, chopped pork, and turkey. The brisket and turkey was mid, the ribs were severely overcooked and dry. My sides were mac n cheese and yams. The yams were great, the mac n cheese was okay, I didn't like the garlic flavor. My husband sides were cole slaw and baked beans. The beans weren't seasoned, tasted like they were straight out of a can and the coleslaw was missing something. The corn dog was good! This wasn't worth the $90 spent.

We had a fantastic experience at RayNathan’s in Cramerton! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The smoked chicken was tender with just the right amount of smoke, and the sides were just as impressive. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You must go here for THE best brisket ever! I can't believe people are complaining about the atmosphere there. I find all the Primus posters very cool and Steven the owner went to every concert they represent. Yes there are picnic tables and there are booths too, but I think that just adds to the country background of country style BBQ you would have at home with your own BBQ. The prices are comparable to any other BBQ restaurants in the area. Plus I find their foods delicious.

My fiancé and I are getting married and was recommended this place for catering. We are from the area and have never been here. When I tell you my fiancé is a major food critic, I mean that. The most pickiest guy..but this place. Oh my goodness. I cannot rant and rave enough. There wasn't a single item on the menu that did not blow our minds. The food is made from love and you can tell. The service was 10/10. There wasn't a single waiter/waitress that was rude, or non attentive. Moral of the story is they will be catering our wedding without a shadow of a doubt and this will be our new spot!!
It's good bbq and I've eaten a lot of bbq from all over the country. I would recommend trying it if you're in the area.

Delicious ribs! Really a family place. Fresh sides. We had the slaw, the beans and the fried okra. All were perfect complements to the perfectly cooked ribs.
First time trying Ray Nathan’s, we live 3 minutes away. I had a spiritual experience with the banana pudding - literally THE BEST banana pudding, top 10 desserts, OF MY LIFE. i took one bite and immediately called the restaurant and told them to give the person who made it a forehead kiss. Also super comfort food for me and my fiancé - good meats, sides just like mom makes, and generous portions with great quality. If I wasn’t already engaged, I’d propose to Ray Nathan the man himself. That nanner puddin was BODIED by me

We used to enjoy Ray Nathans regularly. Over the last year something changed. Tried last night for third time this year and once again disappointed. Ribs (glazed) and pulled pork dry. Brisket better, but still not as good a before. Spent too much for below average BBQ. Will not be returning unless we hear of improvements.

Delicious pulled pork & ribs. Slaw less so. Fries were nothing special. Prices are very high. For the difference, Kyle Fletcher kills.
Pork skins, awesome
