Ray Ray's Hog Pit Clintonville

Stopped in here for a bite before heading out of town after a concert — and I’m so glad we did. This BBQ was absolutely out of this world! I went with the Meatsweats Combo so I could try a little bit of everything, and it did not disappoint. From the pulled pork to the jerk chicken, brisket, ribs, and hot link — every single bite was packed with flavor and melted in your mouth. Everything slapped, and the BBQ sauce? Hands down the best I’ve ever had. If you’re reading this, do yourself a favor and stop here. You will not be disappointed. The spot is small but cozy, with three indoor tables that seat up to four each. There are also three picnic-style tables outside by the smoker where they’re working their magic.

Had some great BBQ from Ray Ray's. The hot honey IPA sauce was unique and delicious on our pork belly sandwich. The waffle fries were great and we got a generous portion. I was full and waited until I got home to have the cornbread cobbler. Highly recommend as a dessert and I don't even like peaches. We stood in line for about 10 minutes to order because they don't take a bunch of orders at a time. Once you place your order, it didn't take long to get our food.

I was in town visiting from Cleveland and stopped by Ray Ray’s after a few friends recommended it: this place will change your life. Best ribs I’ve ever had, great brisket, jerk chicken was fantastic. Staff were really helpful in selecting sauces and very friendly. I’ll definitely stop by on return trips to Columbus.

The ribs, dry rub chicken and sausages are so good! Especially the dry rub chicken and sausages, the best I had ever had. The brisket is good but they cut it a bit too thick. I can’t wait to come for the sausages and dry rub chicken again.

Thank you for making my gf's birthday awesome! You made her feel special and the food was delectable-truly delicious INTO IT! Photo is just a bit of everything-we still have so much left-get the meat sweats, so so good.

almost missed it, road signage was almost invisible. would try this again next time. meat sweats is ALOT for the price, definitely a value, even more so if you share it with someone. need to try the other sauces. had the sweet. maybe the hot, the vinegar and one other.

This food was great! We went around 5PM on a weekday and there was no wait—I’m sure when it’s busy it’s BUSY because the taste is unparalleled in Columbus. It’s a smoke-forward BBQ. The meat was all tender and not super fatty—just enough. The sauces really weren’t needed. I’m a fan.

First experience was great! The staff was very patient and friendly and gave me information about everything.., The meal I chose was FULL of meat and everything tested so good! You definitely need to put your stretchy pants on for these meals! Lol
