Just had Ray's for the first time. Honestly the meat didn't have much flavor. It didn't even taste smoked in my opinion. The BBQ sauce was good though. The mac & cheese was nasty!

Pretty average. The brisket was ok. The ribs were so-so. I didn't get any sides. Their going to need to step up their game if they want to compete with their competitors.

The absolute gold standard in ribs! Ray’s has been our favorite for years. Every place I eat BBQ Is compare to Ray’s. Haven’t found a better place.

Ordered delivery. Cake tasted like any other box cake mix and frosting that you can buy from Walmart. So, definitely not worth $6.50 a slice. The sausage also tasted like the cheap thin quality as well. The BBQ sauce was super liquidy. The rest of the food (bread, beans, & potato salad) were just okay, not terrible. BBQ is my favorite type of food to eat and try while traveling and this definitely is no where close to the best BBQ I have ever had. All around just meh, this was my first and probably last impression of this restaurant. So I'm not sure if the food quality tastes better fresh while dining in.
Recommended dishes: Potato Salad, Beans

I would give a 0 star if there’s an option. I just moved to Newcastle and looking for decent BBQ since ClarksBBQ not close by. I came across to Ray’s BBQ and looked at the reviews 4.6 stars must be pretty good so I went ahead and try it out since I have people over. I ordered $143 worth of food there and i got there they said my order is ready to go I came home my ordered is not complete. Missing 3 desserts I ordered and paid for. I called them to let them know that they forget to provide my desserts. I had to drive all the way back there you would think they will have it ready by then since it takes me 20mins to get there. Surprise! Surprise! Nothing is ready when I got there I still have to wait for them to get it. Wow!!! It’s a good food but terrible service all the way around. Never going back there again.
Very good pulled pork, brisket, turkey and chicken. We had 2-2 meat plates

I've had BBQ from all over. Rays is still my favorite. Sauces are good. Have to have a good sauce. Pulled pork or chopped brisket. It's all good. Batter dipped fries are the best in town!

Ray’s Smokehouse BBQ brings charm, comfort, and consistently tender meats, especially with its ribs, turkey, and sides. While brisket may vary, the inviting vibe, efficient service, and local acclaim make it a Norman favorite. Definitely worth the visit, just temper expectations for smoked heat.
