Just outside Syracuse, Ray Brothers Barbeque has drawn praise from Condé Nast Traveler and Upstate Eats Trail for its authentic, wood-smoked meats, earning a reputation as one of Central New York’s top barbecue destinations. Brothers Tucker and Colin Ray use a custom-built smoker and regional hardwoods to craft brisket, ribs, and sausage that regularly sell out. The rustic, family-friendly setting and regular live music add to the charm, making it worth the short drive from Syracuse proper.
