What Lonny Sauer likes about Rays BBQ Shack:
The ribs and the chicken. The ribs were very good, delicately well cooked, good taste. The chicken needed a little more time on the pit. No problem, just a few minutes in the oven when I came home. It was the fourth, with the weather, we were pleased that they were open. As busy as it was, servers were due. I need to see the new location. There's a bar. They serve South African wines. Television galore. Large dining... View all feedback.

Best BBQ in Houston by far. Do not let the exterior fool you; best of the best in Texas BBQ and sides as far as I am concerned.

Top 2 barbecue spots in Houston.The test of good barbecue is if you need to cover it up with barbecue sauce.

Ray's Real Pit BBQ Shack is a hidden gem in Houston, offering delicious hickory-smoked meats in a casual and relaxed dining room. While the restaurant may be small and share a parking lot with a gas station/convenience store, the food is top-notch and the prices are reasonable. With a menu that includes East Texas-style BBQ with Central Texas and Cajun influences, Ray's offers a variety of options from ribs to brisket to house-made smoked boudin. The fried corn is a standout side dish that is a must-try. The staff is friendly, and the homemade BBQ sauce adds an extra layer of flavor to the already fantastic dishes. Overall, Ray's Real Pit BBQ Shack is a must-visit for anyone looking for a true taste of Texas BBQ.
