Rays Real Pit BBQ Shack

The Best Barbecue Restaurants in Houston Right Now | Eater Houston

"Tucked away in an unassuming spot near a gas station, Ray’s would be easy to overlook, but to drive right past would truly be a shame. This soulful spot offers old-school barbecue, massive meat-stuffed baked potatoes, smoked oxtail, and stellar sides, such as fried corn on the cob. Diners can also indulge in fried fish and shrimp, including shrimp po’boy baskets, fish burger, and catfish plates. Children are considered here, too, with Ray’s Kiddie Meal menu featuring burgers, corn dogs, chicken strips, and meat plates, costing between $2 and $7." - Brittany Britto Garley
