    As Brandon says, "Don't expect much." That's the best way to approach Lonnie Ray's BBQ. I have a cup that has the name "Lonnie Ray's All-American Grill and Cafe," and I guess it is that, but to me, it's all about the BBQ - especially the ribs. The meat literally drops of the bone. So tender, so French-kiss delicious! Oh, and make sure to try the charros - HOT beans - if you're wanting to sweat out a cold or just like spicy food. I usually compliment the charros with a side of applesauce.
    And ask for pickles on the side - best way to wake the tastebuds before working on a rack o' ribs. If no pickles are available, ask Mike why not?! :) We have him convinced of the importance of the pickle, but he gets busy sometimes.... I cut my teeth on Gates & Sons, before they got too big, and Bandana's before it started to spread across the state. Lonnie Ray's is pure. (For the non-BBQ folk in your party, there are other alternatives - but if I'm there and you don't have the ribs, I'm going to be worried about you.) ENJOY!

    Excellent BBQ. Their smoked brisket and pork are excellent - very flavorfull. Another specialty is the "Smokin Spud" (served Friday and Saturday evenings only) that is still steaming hot 5-10 minutes after it has been served, and topped with the meat of your choice, onions, and cheese. Always ask for Lonnie Ray's sauce to top it off. I rate a BBQ resturant by the quality of their ribs and Mike, Brandon, and Bud do not dissappoint. These are never burnt and always the right texture. Finally, for a twist, try their Gee Willikers sandwich - smoked balogna, slaw, onion rings, and Gee Willikers sauce on a bun. It is too die for! The atmosphere is great and the people even better. You won't regret this dining experience.
