I worked right above Ray’s place for 4 years. Everything here is something you can buy from Sam’s club or Costco. It is convenient but not even as good as a food truck. Believe me the nice old guy is not poor at all.

Food is always good, and the atmosphere is something special!

I have really enjoyed eating and studying at Ray’s Place. They truly work hard here and provide a clean environment to study and eat. However, I have recently been deterred from Ray’s after hearing a lady in the kitchen discussing her distaste in the clothes I was wearing. Not sure if I will return. It felt very unprofessional.

Cheap pre-cooked food, ideal for a quick lunch if what you need is to get some carbs to hold you until dinner. The food it self is ok for the price you pay.There are mainly 2 people running the place, a very polite welcoming and nice middle aged man - I believe Ray him self, always accommodating and caring, and then ugh an angry rude middle aged woman. I have to say whenever she is not there the day seem brighter.She snaps, scoffs and gives these angry looks. What is her issue? Do other people get these treatment from her is it my middle eastern looks and amazing accent that bothers her?I would also suggest to add some fresh greenery to your options, prepackaged salads etc but mainly fix the attitude.

Found this place between classes, the door just says “rays place”. 10/10 it’s fast and warm

idk how they make frozen potato wedges taste so good. i get them like once a week. it's nice to have a basic southern meal while on campus

Great food at a reasonable price and family-owned. Enjoy it while it's here, the university is itching to displace them so that their contract with Aramark doesn't have any competition.

I have no idea where the hype for this place comes from. Everything is premade and frozen

If you're hungry and at any one of the engineering buildings, this place hits the spot. There's nothing particularly remarkable about the food. It's mostly cafeteria style grub, and I'm pretty sure a lot of it is premade before it's served. As a result, you don't really get the home cooked vibe you'd think you'd get from a place called "Ray's Place." But Ray is a really nice guy, and this is the only spot to get food nearby without having to walk all the way to the student union. Given the scarcity, it's does the job.

It's good if you want the feel of a home-cooked meal right on campus. The lunch menu changes daily, so stopping by to see what's offered is recommended. They also have plenty of snacks if you were just looking for something light!

Good! Could be seasoned better but otherwise good food! Great atmosphere and great people!
