Ray's Real Pit BBQ Shack is a hidden gem in Houston, offering delicious hickory-smoked meats in a casual and relaxed dining room. While the restaurant may be small and share a parking lot with a gas station/convenience store, the food is top-notch and the prices are reasonable. With a menu that includes East Texas-style BBQ with Central Texas and Cajun influences, Ray's offers a variety of options from ribs to brisket to house-made smoked boudin. The fried corn is a standout side dish that is a must-try. The staff is friendly, and the homemade BBQ sauce adds an extra layer of flavor to the already fantastic dishes. Overall, Ray's Real Pit BBQ Shack is a must-visit for anyone looking for a true taste of Texas BBQ.
