If they had a star rating for prices I would give it 1-star, food was good BUT sorry it was way overpriced and we won't be returning. You make your own opinion but here is what we got for $45.352- brisket sandwiches ($15.50/each)2- waffle fries ($4.00/each)1 - iced tea(Everything is priced a la carte)Too much money and may explain why there was not very many people there on a Sunday at 1pm.Maybe you will feel it's worth it ?REPLY 4/15 ... FOR YOUR INFORMATION I WILL TELL YOU WHAT WE GOT AT HOGGYS AND IT WAS LESS MONEY THAN 2 OF YOUR BRISKET SANDWICHES .. FOR $28.95 WE GOT THE GRAZER WHICH INCLUDED 3 MEATS, 3 SIDES, SLIDER BUNS, CORN MUFFINS .... YES, ALL OF THAT FOR LESS THAN THE $31 FOR YOUR 2 BRISKET SANDWICHES. SO, YOU ARE WRONG ... THE PRICES ARE NOT NEARLY IDENTICAL.WE WONT BE BACK !

Got the pulled pork, beef brisket and baked beans. Pork tasted kind of funny. Got sick later and threw the left overs in the trash. Baked beans was dry and tasted like vinegar. Brisket was only ok but dry and flavor less with out sauce.It cost us $35 for a meal we gotnsick on and ended up throwing all the leftovers in the trash. Even my cat wouldn't eat any of the meat.We will not eat here again and definitely do not recommend this place.City barbecue and hogan's is far far better in every way.

Highly disappointed! As much as I hate to make this review, I needed too! This pound of brisket they gave me was basically all fat! I am an advocate for Texas BBQ and have been all around Texas for BBQ. I heard so many good reviews about this place. Maybe I went at the wrong time, but you never assume all fat is what the customer wants. It was really salty when we did have some meat. I literally had about 3/4 fat go to waste on my $32 pound I spent. If I hadn't left the place with my order I would have went back for sure. Like I said maybe a bad order, but I won't go back to find out!

Managers were incredibly attentive, making sure we understood all the different meats they had. The food was delicious! The sweet tea was perfect!Dietary restrictions: I have Celiac and I didn't have any issues.

This was a great place to eat, great people, and the food was excellent. The only reason I cannot give five stars is because of the astronomical price they charge for their food.

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.
Oh man! SAMPLER Knocked my SOCKS off and the hospitality was epic! I didnt ask my servers name but your hubby best treat you great! Someone's gonna steal you if not! Heading back to Youngstown, and will stop back again when driving through!
Best BBQ in Columbus. Hands down. Great food and great

Went for a Sunday lunch with my son and as soon as we pulled in and walked in and that bbq smell hit us we knew it was well worth the 30min drive! The pulled pork sandwich’s were fresh and warm, not to dry and not to moist/Juicy just like they should be. The bbq sauces we had were really great as well. The place was also very clean/well kept. Ray rays is something special.
Look when the hours are wishy washy so will my review. Called the night before and asked if the dining room was open and told yes. The next day we arrive and it wasn’t open and said the drive thru. Third time it happened to us and our parties. They acted like that type of service is okay when a person spends $50 each to eat. You want high prices for your food your customer service should match. Our decision not to spend $200 to eat there was easy after driving 40 minutes to not be told properly if we could dine in not once, not twice, but three times!STRIKE THREE YOUR OUT!I DONT WANT TO HEAR THAT IT IS RESERVED EVERY OTHER FRIDAY FOR A PRIVATE EVENT. WE CALLED THE NIGHT BEFORE !!
