The 19 Best Restaurants In Columbus, Ohio 2024
"This is the best place for pit barbecue in Columbus, and perhaps the whole state. James Anderson (better known as the “Ray Ray”) runs this growing fleet of pit barbecue food trucks, plus one dine-in location, that specializes in smoked beef brisket, wet or dry-rubbed spare ribs, and sides like baked beans and collard greens. If you’re with a group, order the appropriately named Meatsweats box featuring the greatest hits: brisket, pulled pork, jerk chicken, dry-rubbed ribs, and hot links. We also love the sweet-and-spicy jerk chicken thigh sandwich and waffle fries. Hit up Ray Ray’s Franklinton truck, which conveniently sits next to Land-Grant Brewing’s beer garden and taproom, and is great for that chaotic nine-person group chat meet-up. But there are more locations like the original Clintonville truck next to Ace of Cups and a Victorian Village one that does a street food-style menu. " - erin edwards, kindra peach
