What Benjamin Powell likes about Ray's Country Smokehouse-grill:
Solid, no frills, little local bbq joint. Ask about the daily sides as there were a bunch not listed in the menu. BBQ pork was good chopped and pulled and smoky. Smoked and fried chicken wings were great. Seems like a local lunch place for the judicial system workers. Vegetarian options: Not many View all feedback. What Brandon Terry doesn't like about Ray's Country Smokehouse-grill:
(Family of 6) we ordered 2 appetizers. Jalapeño poppers and fried mushrooms. If I wanted freezer food I’d go buy it from a grocery store. I expect this restaurant to prepare these two items fresh. Disappointing. The brisket sandwich was good but I tasted no smoke. The fries were served to us soggy and old. They must have been prepared 30 minutes beforehand. I could mention more disappointing aspects here but I’ll leave it like this. Probably will not return. Sorry Ray.
