But I'm have roots in KC, Mo... and grew ups eating an 18 hr brisket, honey on biscuit and all them shrimp boils... I asked Reddit for a place in Norman, and when 1500+ people tell you Ray's... you are going to Ray's... I ate the brisket.. I give it a B, was wet as expected but the flavor could have been up a notch... plenty of condiments on the table to fix it... After eating corn on the cob, fried Okra... still needed a burger... Nobody ever makes my burger right... Ray's did... honestly raised this review 4 stars to 5.... Ray's has that old time classic look... ambiance is exactly what you want when you are eating... I wish I ate whatever I'm smelling when you walk in, talk about the Garlic and olive oil trick... you walk in HUNGRY! Ray's portions are great, and the fries, they're great... not skinny fries like at other joints... a proper French fry! Eat at Ray's!

I haven't looked at other folks comments. But I'll guarantee, people are making some mountain out of mole hill...over some BS subject....not even related to the food. Maybe some cashier didn't make them feel so special, as the customer took 30 minutes to make up their mind and order. Who knows...but this place is a 5+ star place. The meats and sides here are fantastic. They are cooked right and plenty of moisture in the meats. The smaller extrude fresh cut fries are killer. Okra is great. 5+ stars this place is. But now I'm going to look at other people's reviews and laugh.

The food was delicious and I gravitated to the Chopped Brisket sandwich with Corn on the Cob, while my wife went with the loaded baked potato. We both grabbed an individual banana pudding for dessert. Wow. The food was great, the event went perfectly, and everyone enjoyed themselves. Thanks to the Rudy's staff for making everything ideal.

Got the Sweet Oklahoma and have to say it's one of the best burgers I've ever had. The cream cheese and sweet jalapeño relish gave it a great flavor and were not spicy. Also had onion rings and while I like a good amount of salt in the breading I will say the salt in these bordered on being overpowering. Maybe back off a hair. The wife got a Theta and enjoyed it. One of my girls tried the Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese and was pleasantly surprised (I also tried a bite of it and thought it was good). The other girl just had chips and queso and said they were solid. Both girls also had Garlic Parm Fries and liked them. We will definitely add this place back to a regular option for burgers.

I enjoyed the crab legs, they were meaty, fresh, and the place kept them stocked despite being super busy. I sampled some other items too. The brisket was a miss--too fatty and burnt. The corn, though, was fresh and buttery. Dessert options could be better, and I wish the salad bar were bigger. One downside of buffets is feeling like you have to "get your money's worth," especially at $50 a head. That said, the service was excellent--our server was kind, attentive, and made the experience great especially since it is my first time at Riverwind.

My cousin walked in and said "hi!" The host responded with  "how many?" laced with attitude. We responded with "eight" and she proceeds to just walk away and not say anything. Another girl comes over and asks if we've been helped and I said "i don't know she asked how many and then just walked away." The original girl walked over and said "I'm taking care of it." She then grabs the menus and walks over to our table and tells us to stay over by the door. We were confused but whatever, she then starts throwing the tables together and slamming things down on the tables. She finally tells us we can go over there and doesn't speak to us again. We later see her walk out the door. Hopefully that was her last shift because good grief. This happened 3-18-2026 around 4:45-5:00 so whoever was our host with the space bun hairstyle who looked at us like we had zebra prostate on our face, I hope you had a better day because your sour attitude nearly ruined ours.
