You've seen it in the grocery stores; now you can enjoy the sauce without doing any cooking. Sweet Baby Ray, a.k.a. David Raymond, who was president of Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce for 20 years, is behind this restaurant. Ray's uses two different methods to barbecue: a Southern Pride smoker and a Chicago-style barbecue pit. Meaty treats include baby back ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket and ham. Sandwiches include the "duce," with grilled beef bologna, pulled pork and cole slaw, a boneless rib sandwich and a shrimp po' boy. Side features choices like jalapeno corn bread, green beans simmered in red sauce and "corn maque choux," a spicy cream corn. When the weather gets hot, step out onto the patio for a raspberry mojito, crocodile cooler or Sweet Baby Ray's sangria.
