BIG RAY'S
AUTHENTIC TEXAS BBQ
Allen, Texas • Where tradition meets flavor • Since the beginning
Our Story
Founded by Big Ray himself in Allen, Texas, our BBQ joint was born from a passion for authentic Texas-style barbecue and a commitment to serving our community with the finest smoked meats. What started as a dream in a backyard smoker has grown into a beloved local destination where tradition meets flavor.
We source only the highest quality meats and use time-tested smoking techniques passed down through generations. Every brisket, rib, and pulled pork is slow-smoked to perfection using our signature blend of hardwoods, creating that perfect bark and tender, juicy interior that BBQ lovers crave.
At Big Ray's BBQ, we believe great barbecue brings people together. Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch or catering your next big event, we treat every customer like family. Come taste the difference that passion, quality, and authentic Texas tradition make in every single bite.
