Ray I'm sure, used to care. I for one, got the distinct feeling that they are living up to their former glory and ole' Ray, if he still around, doesn't have his heart in it anymore. We ordered some ribs, a Polish sausage sandwich and sides of beans, tato salad and mashed tatos. The sausage in the sandwich was very good but prob because they didn't make it. It was dripping with a decent BBQ sauce that was clearly added after cooking. The ribs stuck to the bone and were drenched in BBQ sauce that was also added after the fact. Even the smoke felt like the meats didn't spend enough time in the smoker but were dry except to the aforementioned BBQ sauce drenching. I ordered a lemonade: best guess is that it was Minute Maid. Anywho, I had to try it and I did. However I wished I had gone elsewhere. PS takeaway only. read more

Legit drivers ! Very good channel 16. They deliver to your truck ! Very good huge portions...

This place was terrible the meat was beyond tough and had absolutely no flavor to it! Only thing that is great here is there sauce. But that it sadly! The tea we bought is sour! read more

I've eaten here before, a long time ago, and I remembered it being pretty good. Today I had half chicken, which took 20 minutes to get to me. I can only assume this is because they had to heat up yesterday's chicken, considering it was so dry and chewy I couldn't even choke it down. Even the dark meat, which is awfully hard to ruin, was like dry rubber. Maybe it's under new ownership since my last visit, and maybe bbq isn't really their thing anymore. read more

Long road trip. After 12 hours of driving I needed a good meal that could be delivered and I was in Memphis so BBQ was a must. Ray's was nearby so I put together a quick order. My lord the food! Massive quantities of the real deal. I order the Polish Piggy platter and feasted on three different varieties of pork, chopped, ribs and a polish sausage and sides galore. The chopped is moist and has just a touch of sauce as the meat carries itself. The ribs had a good bark and were tender and that polish sausage mmmmm! Sides were solid even the bbq spaghetti, a new one for me. Skip the fancy and go for good solid q. read more

Drive by was scary looking. But, people inside were really nice and the food lived up to the "world famous" moniker. It was the best BBQ I'd ever had. Full disclosure... I'm a northerner without an experienced bbq pallet. But still, thick sauce... tender, richly flavored meat, tubbie of slaw on the side was sharp flavored - and fresh! These guys are worth the trip across the bridge to Arkansas read more

Best ribs I've ever had in my long life. Awesome smoke, great bark. Good service at the takeout window. I had the baked beans and Mac n cheese as sides. Beans were good, mac n cheese needed much more cheese it tasted like plain elbow macaroni, maybe they forgot to add the cheese to my order? I got sides of regular and "killer" bar b q sauce. Both tasty. The killer sauce fails to kill, but does have a zing. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Wanted to try Memphis barbecue so stopped by this place in West Memphis. Nothing fancy--just good food (and nice owners).

The meat was tough. It taste like Lighter fluid. This was by far the worst place I have been to in Memphis. 60 dollars was wasted read more

This was the worst food ever‼spaghetti is full of sugar and bbq sauce and it's still didn't have any flavoring and The coleslaw tasted spoiled ‼ I gave this place a 1 rating because the fish was okay and I did manage to forcefully eat it since I did pay $10 for this plate..If there was anyway that I could get a full refund I would gladly give them the entire plate back...So can anyone tell me what World is this food famous in ⁉⁉ Definitely not the US read more

Good Memphis BBQ. They deliver! HUUUGE portions! They will feed you, your mother, the Horse You Ride In On and STILL have leftovers! The location is a small hole-in-the-wall sort of place, small tables but friendly folks and Ray, himself, jumps on the CB to drum up business. We ordered the rack of ribs and I think I got both sides of the hog! Hubster ordered the Polish Pig Plate which comes with a sausage, ribs, chopped pork, spaghetti, baked beans, potato salad and slaw. Wow. So much food, I'm tired just from typing it all! I posted a picture... We will definitely be back! read more

f I could give negative stars I would... ordered the 19.95 'truckers special' as we are truck drivers... chef Boyardee spaghetti tastes better than this.. speghetti is literally the noodles in barbecue sauce!!! What a joke huh? The polish sausage was in barbecue sauce as well, old and burnt. The barbecue ribs? It was 730 and they close at 10.... ribs was hard and old, microwaving it under a wet napkin couldn't fix it... baked beans was the best but not sure if it's because I was just hungry or if everything else was nasty. Why would they give their self such a 'worlds famous' name? Should I have came when they opened for the day? I wouldn't feed this to my worst enemy! West Memphis should be ashamed!!!! Definitely placing review on all platforms possible! read more

Really good BQ. It's a very small menu. I would ask the to hold back on the finishing dry rub it's salty. The taste is amazing and always moist. read more

We met and chatted with Ray. He's a real southern cook! Started his business when he was 19 and he's 71 now! A real pleasure.

Poor quality and fatty meat. Some of the food appears to be be made days earlier so there's that. Would not recommend.

The food was flavorful and cooked to order. The fish and potato salad was awesome. The beef rib were good as well. The staff was friendly. When in the area, we will return. read more

Who gave this place 5 stars. It a conspiracy. If you love microwaveable food, this is the place for you. look folks. The owners are kind, yes I get that but the food is on the sad end of almost being bad. Everything was just sad. I know why this place isn't in Memphis, they would burn it down. Do yourself a favor and go across the river read more

Service terrible! Slowest ever! Waited in line and hour for them to tell us that their internet was down and they needed cash. Screw that place! read more

This place blew me away very unexpectedly . We were traveling into West Memphis for the evening en route to ATX. The hostess at the motel recommended these guys and say they were good. I ordered the bologna plate and three spare ribs. The young man was prompt in his delivery and very professional. This food was FIRE!!! Please don't change a damn thing! Thanks Rays read more

My wife and I stopped for the night in West Memphis and decided to try Ray's. Great choice. Due to Covid-19 currently drive-thru only. The only things we would do different would be to call ahead and get Sauce on the side. Sauce is a bit on the sweet side but was very good. If you are in the area a great place to stop. It ain't fancy! They told us indoor and inside will be open soon! read more

This is a small drive through place and doesn't look like much in the outside but the bbq pork had great smoky flavor and the sides were great! read more

Great food. You'll miss it if you blink twice. Only reason not five stars is the sides are very small.

Def needs some exterior and interior redesigning to make more appealing. Cleanliness of the interior really made me think 3-4 times before ordering. However extreme hunger and knowing that usually the run down spots have the best foods kept me interested. I was not impressed. Ribs were good,the tenderness and taste were pretty good, but nothing AMAZING. The mac and cheese and baked beans were not seasoned not tasty, both reheated via microwave -_-. Prices are too high for value, flavor, and portions. Nice lady who took the order, but would not recommend. They also added my sides to my friends plate and hers on mine . read more

Only 1 star because I can't leave 0 stars. Nothing but really fatty ribs and sauce that tastes like lighter fluid. And beans and slaw that came out of a can. Awful! We took 2 bites, threw it in the trash and went across the street to Chick-fil-A. At least you know what you're getting at a chain restaurant. read more

The RV park recommended them but could not get ahold of them. Left message but no return

I always get the "wide load" 2 pounds of rib tips and sides...delicious..and under 20.00......to be honest, if your looking for a fancy place and "atmosphere"? go to Beale st, if you want great bbq at good price? this is the place... this location has been here about 7 years and parking is limited for trucks..but well worth the effort.... most times they deliver, but it's been an issue finding a driver I'm told....MR.Ray is very friendly and never at a loss for telling a good joke.... read more

If you ever get a chance to eat at Ray's you won't be disappointed the ribs are great! They were tender, juicy and cooked to perfection We had the pleasure of meeting Ray the owner and Larry his chef. We were the only customers in the restaurant at the time, Larry started bringing us samples off the menu to our delight. We also tried the pulled pork and his baby back ribs. Hard to pick a favorite meat so we will be back on our return trip. Ray's building looks like a dive inside and out. If I hadn't caught his restaurant featured on the travel channel a while back (and the help of Yelp), we would not have stopped. The food was not heated in the microwave as another reviewer reported. read more

The potato salad was delicious, rib tips that were not burnt was good, bbq sauce was good. The greens taste like they are from a can, the green beans was not seasoned, the whole spare rib was so tuff we couldn't pull it apart it was very rubbery and not eatable it came wrapped in plastic with no bbq sauce. The bread was a butt piece of bread and white slice of bread. read more

Ribs were substandard, service slow and prices way too high. Drive-through only. Pass this one by.

Ordered food from here yesterday evening We drive a truck and when we get thru here we always holler at Ray's on the CB They deliver right to your truck at the truck stops Hadn't had Tays in a bout two years but was pleasantly surprised it hasn't changed BBQ sauce was awesome as always We got the rib tips ... Very very good Baked beans were flavorful as was the Cole slaw and the greens were outta this world Also go pineapple upside down cake .. Double layer very tasty as well The people at Ray's are very nice and helpful Yes it's a little dive / shack on the side of the road. Can't tell ya about the inside we always order it to be delivered to our truck I would have give it a 5 start but the rib tips were not as tender as I like Food portions are big Lots of leftovers Will order again when in the area read more

My wife and finally gave it a try after driving by it for years. We love BBQ and enjoy going to different restaurants across the bridge in Memphis. We are not picky eaters and enjoy all kinds of food. From my experience of the food, it was just bad. Ribs were too tough to eat and the sides tasted like they were straight out of a can. We are glad to see that some people enjoy the food. read more
