"Now! Before I give you my full review, allow me to say, I LOVE BARBEQUE!!!!!During my friend's day we decided to try a new restaurant. Upon executing a search on Yelp we decided to try out Ray's. Ray's sits in a huge strip mall. When you pull in the restaurant is to the far right hand side. Don't do what I did and go to the left. LoL! Walking up to Ray's you realize it is hugeeeee. There are two entrances. One brings you into the dining side and one brings you to the order area. Regardless of which door you walk in it's all connected... As I got to the register, the man in front of me told the cashier "let me get my usual!" This was a great sign for me as it shows that he is a repeat customer. To say I was excited is an understatement. LoL!Taking a moment to take in the menu and the assortment of options I decided on the Ribs Dinner with One Side. After placing our order we took a seat, not before taking pictures with the Ray's sign so I could let everyone know I was here. LoL!!!!The wait wasn't too long as before I knew it the waitress called my name and was bringing the order to the table. Looking at the plate I was pleased with the presentation and serving size. I asked for my sauce on the side as I like to see how the ribs taste without sauce first. The Ribs:Moist. Meaty. Well seasoned. Perfectly made. Good quality. Very filling. Overall 10/10. The Sauce: (I ordered the Mild) Flavorful. Not "bottled." Thick. Perfect hint of sweet to pair with the natural salt of the pork. Overall 10/10. The Yams:The yams weren't bad. You could taste the "canned" flavor, however, you could also taste the added flavorings that are presented to give the taste of homemade. Overall 6/10. My experience at Ray's was absolutely enjoyable. The ribs alone provide for a flavor filled, stomach pleasing experience that makes you want to come back. **Oh yeah, I didn't get to try the mini sweet potato pie, however, it was calling my name. I'll be getting it next time. HaHa!!"

"They would have more stars if they had more seating! There's only three booths and I have a family of 7. The peach cobbler was also all mushy. No real crust. Mac was bomb! Peach drink is a must. They were also out of Strawberry shortcake. The order takers were sweet and patient as they didn't rush our large order. Also, I was not a fan of the rib tips. Tasted like stew pieces in bbq sauce lol. But the smothered pork chop and fried chicken were tasty. Everything was also savory and seemed to be fresh!"

With all of the good reviews of this establishment we were looking forward to giving it a try. Unfortunately, the dishes we tried didn't live up to the hype. We ordered the Chicken Vindaloo, Shaak Ponir, and Bullet Naan. We've never had Bullet Naan before, and the description on the menu read "with chopped green chili". We can appreciate a little heat so we figured we'd give it a try. What a mistake! The naan is completely filled with the hottest uncooked green chili we couldn't take more than a few bites. I wish our sever would've given us fair warning because we ended up wasting it. Unnecessarily spicy is pretty much how I would sum up the other two dishes we had as well. I can understand the Vindaloo having some spice, but the Shaak Ponir should not have been spicy at all. The food was lacking the depth of flavor we're accustomed to with Indian/Bangladeshi food. Our server was pleasant for most of the service until she asked if we needed a to go container and we said no. She seemed to be offended and treated us differently after that. She went from being attentive to making us wait forever for the check, then waiting forever for her to pick it up.

This location is my new favorite in the metro area. This location has a huge dining room and plenty of parking. The menu is overwhelming with many great bbq/sides selection. I was disappointed in the lack of combo options - ordered à la carte. 1/2 rack of ribs, corn pudding, fried okra, and potatoes salad. The ribs were tender and juicy. The sides were as expected. Sweet tea - perfect. As a casual spot, I appreciated the staff walked around and ensured guest were satisfied and had what they needed. Highly recommend.

There was a really long wait for our food on a Saturday night around 6:30pm. We decided to dine inside and were happy with the cleanliness, TVs and overall feel of the space.When the food came it was hit or miss: some items were piping hot and some were cold. We ordered some of everything and the favorites were the yams and chicken. Other items might have been better had they been hot. I felt the Mac and cheese wasn't cheesy enough and I also didn't like the texture of the cornbread-oily, yet dry.They did apologize for the long wait. They also let us know they do a brunch buffet on Saturday, so maybe that's worth coming back for. I ate the sweet potato pie for breakfast in the morning and it was good.

I found this spot while visiting Conyers. GiGi's had great reviews so I was extremely excited to try it out. So I'm always gonna start off with the good first.I loved the restaurant's decor and design, location also has plenty of parking.The customer service was amazing. Everyone was warm and friendly.Gigi's also has a kiosk in the restaurant where you could order your food from if the line is too, I thought that was pretty cool as well.But that's where the good ends.The food was not good at all. I didn't like not one thing on my plate. I ordered pork chops, mac and cheese, and collard greens. Banana pudding as well. Everything looked like it was gonna be delicious but unfortunately, it wasn't. The banana pudding seemed store-bought.So you can imagine how pissed I was after paying an arm and leg for the food. Also, the bathroom was disgusting. I know that doesn't have anything to do with the food, but if you don't keep the bathroom clean that guest can actually see how does the kitchen look? and I got there about 30 mins after they opened so it had to still be dirty from another day. Everybody's taste buds are different so you may love GiGi's but I won't be returning.

Ordered via Uber eats. This is A decent place for soul food. To me the meatloaf is my favorite. The neat doesn't have a funny smell and doesn't taste funny. Sides: I've had the cornbread dressing (ok kinda dry not thanksgiving grade but ok if u have a taste for dressing), candied yams (dry and not sweet at all. Funny consistency), potato salad (not the best definitely doesn't taste like mine)I would try other items from this restaurant. It's a decent place to eat if you're in the mood for soul food.

A mixed bag, or so it seems. 1. I am not gluten free, and I did not know that Mahana Fresh's specialty is being gluten free until I came to post a review. 2. I ordered this meal from Uber Eats. Your experience may vary. I ordered a teriyaki bowl and a side of macaroni and cheese. I got these BOGO through Ubereats. The mac and cheese might have been the worst mac and cheese I've ever eaten and this includes the time I tried to use almond milk when I made Kraft Mac and Cheese. First, this came to me cold. The cheese on top hadn't melted. This is NOT an Uber Eats problem. I could understand if it was cold because of a time delay, but this was clearly never heated through. As such, I needed to reheat this immediately upon receipt to eat it. The joy doesn't stop here. The noodles had no integrity whatsoever. They were so mushy that I did not need my teeth or gums to break this pasta down. I was able to sufficiently mash the macaroni against the roof of my mouth with my tongue. The sauce was flavorless and watery. Despite having a second one in my fridge, I will likely dispose of this. As someone who will tolerate nearly anything when it comes to food, the fact that I'm choosing to not eat food I have in my possession speaks volumes. If I only had gotten the macaroni, this would have been a 1 star. The Teriyaki Bowl didn't have a lot of teriyaki flavor, but it was excellent. I found that the main flavors were from the wasabi cream sauce and the coconut rice, but this was still a great bowl with lots of protein, good flavor, and balance. I cannot emphasize this enough, the macaroni and cheese is terrible. Everything else though? Really good! If I had just gotten the bowl this would definitely would have been a 4, maybe a 5 star review.

So first want to acknowledge that this place has great reviews for their ribs so I plan on trying the ribs next time. With that said, my husband and I had a wings craving and wanted to support other bbq joints nearby so we saw CZ Smokez and they had good enough reviews plus their wings were very reasonably priced. The wings are average sized and dark meat, which is what I prefer but my husband wasn't a fan. However, we agreed that they were tasty. The spicy lemon pepper definitely had some kick to it, so another plus in my book. However, everything else fell flat. The crinkle cut fries were dry and absolutely no flavor which is a shame. The banana pudding was simply below average and tasted very generic. Overall, not giving up on this place because the ribs look good and the reviews sound absolutely yummy. So I may change my review...to be continued!:)

Mahana Fresh

★★★★☆ 4.1 (25)

"Mahana Fresh is a beach themed Bowl place. It works like any other bowl, fast-casual place. You walk in, you add ingredients to your bowl, you pay, and you enjoy. You can build your own bowls or go with one of their signature bowls, so you won't have to worry about what to put in your bowl.Mahana fresh is all about fresh ingredients, and they cater to all your dietary needs: gluten free, vegetarian, keto, etc. If you're limiting yourself to whatever diet, I'm sure Mahana Fresh can accommodate.Besides bowls, they have wraps, soups, and mac& cheese. I haven't tried those. But the Mac & Cheese are bowls with mac&cheese as a base. It looked interesting. It seems like the Mac & Cheese is gluten free, so they must use some non-gluten macaroni.Their bowls are delicious. They don't look like much. The meats look overcooked, but that's an illusion. They're actually perfectly cooked and juicy. I'm guessing they sous-vide it or something to get it that perfectly cooked. They're also not afraid to add some char/color to the vegetables. They cook them with a bit of char, which I like. The sauces give the entire bowl a good flavor. I like them. The place is no-frills. The bowls are no-frills. You're not gonna get a fancy looking bowl. But they taste fresh, healthy, and delicious. Their prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend them."

"This BBQ is TOP tier. I had such a great experience visiting here with my cousin. The food is fresh and made to order so don't come in a rush. Good things come to those who wait :). While I was there for the ribs and they were amazing, the smoked pork chop was a surprise hit for me. It was so good and flavorful. We tried everything without sauce first but the BBQ sauces were also really good. The baked beans are also a must have. They were amazing. The Mac and cheese we could've done without but all the other sides we had we enjoyed. We sat and ate in the outdoor seating area which was nice on a warm day. I will definitely be back when I'm in Atlanta again."

"Loved - Loved - Loved - Loved - Loved - Loved Fried Chicken w/Jerk Sauce: Jerk Sauce is definitely spicy. Fried chicken is hot juicy and flavorful. Thigh pieces and drumsticksPeas and Rice: fluffy and flavorful DJ & Caribbean Kickback vibe on Wednesday late night - doesn't close until 2am DISLIKED ; Disliked ; Disliked ; Disliked ; Disliked They didn't put the jerk sauce on the side, even though we asked, and they repeated and confirmed it. I love the sauce but too much is too spicy for me. :-( -- however the sauce is delicious, FYI."
