I worked right above Ray’s place for 4 years. Everything here is something you can buy from Sam’s club or Costco. It is convenient but not even as good as a food truck. Believe me the nice old guy is not poor at all.

Such a sweet old guy! Place is very small but the food is good so, it’s always packed!

Cheap pre-cooked food, ideal for a quick lunch if what you need is to get some carbs to hold you until dinner. The food it self is ok for the price you pay.

If you’re hungry and at any one of the engineering buildings, this place hits the spot. There’s nothing particularly remarkable about the food. It’s mostly cafeteria style grub, and I’m pretty sure a lot of it is premade before it’s served. As a result, you don’t really get the home cooked vibe you’d think you’d get from a place called “Ray’s Place.” But Ray is a really nice guy, and this is the only spot to get food nearby without having to walk all the way to the student union. Given the scarcity, it’s does the job.

It’s good if you want the feel of a home-cooked meal right on campus. The lunch menu changes daily, so stopping by to see what’s offered is recommended. They also have plenty of snacks if you were just looking for something light!

I usually eat there 4-6 times a week on my way to or from class. The food is always fresh and yummy and if you are in a hurry they have really good sandwiches that are very inexpensive. I strongly recommend going to Rays!

Great food at a reasonable price and family-owned. Enjoy it while it’s here, the university is itching to displace them so that their contract with Aramark doesn’t have any competition.

Ray’s Place is the best place to get authentic, modern Southern cooking. It’s great comfort food after an advising appointment that accomplished nothing, or a math class with a professor who can’t teach. 🙂

It’s unquestionably the best food on campus, and incredibly delightful service, not to mention the great conversations with Ray if you desire. Favorite place to go hang out between classes!
