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.

This is a can't miss experience especially if you are going on night when they have music! We saw a Fleetwood Mac tribute band that was absolutely fantastic named Seven Wonders. The staff was helpful and freindly. They were right on time to help with anything you needed. A shout out to the nice girl who took good care of Pennsylvania. Let's get to the food, we had ribs of course and wings, some of the best this side of the Mississippi. They really know what they're doing here. The portions were large, the sides are amazing, especially the baked beans and cucumber salad. There was a huge crowd there and they still served us fairly quickly. This place is way out of the way of anything but worth the drive. This is family run by two brothers and it's great to support a local business like that, go there I'm sure you will enjoy it!!!

Worth the wait! I love my bbq food and this place is the absolute best by far. The meat and sides weren’t overly Smokey the bbq sauce wasn’t too heavy the potatoes in the potato were actually cooked and had eggs- bonus for me! The Mac and cheese was amazing and cozy! The meatloaf was to die for!

My boss told me about this place. Took my wife for our anniversary and was very impressed! We bought tickets to a concert here in 2 weeks and cant wait to go back. The location is nice...food is out of this world and the staff was welcoming and friendly....the dirty potato salad is awesome. This is a HUGE compliment because I generally don't like potato salad!

We've watched this restaurant grow and expand and become a true highlight of this area - amazing food, solid and courteous service, nice atmosphere, fantastic music events and some of the kindest, most community-minded owners. We love you guys! Note: Don't forget the maple bacon cheesecake! You definitely won't have room to eat it there, so take it to go and eat it at home when you're in your comfy pants!

We came with a group of friends fir a birthday. We were seated with a small wait while we waited at the bar. Staff was great and food out of this world as always. We drive an hour to get here when we make the trip and its always well worth it!

Went there last year and really enjoyed the food. A little loud but no big deal, it's a bar. We went there again last night to celebrate a birthday with family and got seated after our expected 30 minute wait, ordered drinks, and our waitress told us she'd be right back after delivering said drinks. The water tasted like sewer and even the soda started to after awhile likely from the ice. Guessing they use well water and didn't filter it well? Anyway, we sat at our table at 6:35 and it's 7:10 when we see our waitress again. She looks right at us and turns to take the drink order of the table next to us instead who just sat down. Walks away, doesn't look back. She comes back literally 2 minutes later, again, looks right at us and down at our menus, delivers the table's drinks and walks away a second time without even acknowledging that she's been ignoring us for 40 minutes. Another table on the other side of us that she was serving had also been waiting all this time for their check while being ignored. We say something to the hostess who was going to get it straightened out but after being looked directly at and intentionally ignored twice, we just threw a few dollars down for our drinks and leave. Everything in the area closes at 8 so it's now 7:30 and we have very little options. We thankfully found Ye Old Pizza Pub and it was open late enough to still get a birthday dinner and was absolutely delicious. Very disappointed and unsure if we will go back. Can't remember our server's name but an older blonde lady in a peach/pink button up. Definitely will request a new server if we get her the next time we go, if we do!

My wife and I drove the 35 minutes from Utica to check out Ray Bros BBQ. We arrived early on a busy Friday evening. We're glad we did as both the inside and outside seating quickly filled up. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The BBQ was worth the drive. My ribs and pulled pork combo and my wife's half chicken were perfectly prepared and tasty. We found the hush puppy appetizer, made with corn meal and onion pieces, too heavy and peppery. Otherwise, the rest of our meal was excellent! We'll be back.

Awesome food and service. I love how everything was so different. Not the same old sides and flavors that can be repetitive at other places. We liked it so much we took 2 nights worth of food home. Yummy!!
