"East Texas-style barbecue is the name of the game at this longtime Riverside Terrace barbecue joint. At Ray’s, pitmaster Rayford S. Busch smokes Cajun-spiced meat over hickory, including a 14-hour slow-smoked brisket, and Chicago-style rib tips, the underside of a traditional spare rib cut. The chopped brisket sandwich and loaded stuffed brisket baked potato are ample presentations of one-third of the Texas trinity. For sides, don’t miss the smoked mac and cheese and potato salad." - Kayla Stewart
