Ray's Butcher Shoppe

Premium prices for premium products. It's a large store with a healthy selection of if meats. I was happy with the steaks I purchased, however one was cut at kind of a wonky angle. Like a meat wedge, but it cooked up evenly using sous vide.There's a small area with what looked like general grocery and baked goods. I didn't explore too much because it was busy, though the checkout line moved quickly. I know I'll be back, but I might choose a weekend that doesn't involve a special occasion/holiday so that I can look around without feeling like I'm in the way.

Rays always has the best meats, sausages, bacon, and even prepared foods. We've never had a bad experience with anything from Rays. And the staff is Alyse's super helpful. Highly recommend

Consistent good quality meats and other foods. Bakery is quite good too. Service could be better and friendlier.

Rays can be expensive but they have a great selection that you will not find in the big box grocery stores. I have been a fan of rays since my first visit and I could spend hours combining through everything. My buddy was in the UP and brought back some amazing looking pasty's with baby reds and and beef which I drooled over, he stated that Rays sells them frozen so I was excited. Rays if they did sell MI pasty's, they don't anymore and only sell their homemade version that is available I was told. Well their house brand hit the spot and I now have a new pasty place, I should try the famous north side one again just to make sure that I really like rays better.

Ray's is a southside gem. When you walk in you are welcomed by several butchers who are happy to help you and answer questions. From beef jerky to beef sticks to steaks to shrimp, Ray's has the best quality items. They also have a good section of cold salads, frozen dinner items, wines, snacks, and dry goods. This place is so fun and full of delicious things. Support this local shop!

Always the best cuts and so willing to cut things just as I like. Love that they carry Icelandic Haddock, too!

I've stopped into Ray's about 10 times and struggle to like them every time. The employees there are kind of grouchy or "meh" more often than not. But being it's close to my house I've continued to stop in now and then hoping I'd finally like the shop more. Each time I've purchased chicken there it's been dry. I bought the frozen ham loaf and it tasted off and was really crumbly. I bought a chicken there last week Friday. On Sunday I was going to put it in the oven and it was ROTTEN. Totally stunk up the kitchen when I unwrapped it. I'd have thought fresh chicken would last til then. I tossed it in the garbage can and drove to Sendiks and picked one up. So never again will I give them my business. It's worth the drive to go to Bunzel's to get that butcher shoppe experience.

Went into Rays looking for chow for a dinner. The problem was the guy behind the counter who had an attitude. I asked about an item and what the composition was. He seemed insulted and acted pissy. Then, he acted like it was a magnificent favor to get a couple more meat items. Rays has a nice collection of meats. They just need to dump employees who can't give service without treating the customers like lepers

The layout and interior of Ray's is..cozy,comfortable, warm and friendly ! Their fresh bread and rolls are delicious. Their quality of meats is amazing. You gotta go to Ray's Butcher Shop ! You gotta.

Every time I go here the butchers are always "put out" they need to help you...today I go in and order over $80+ of items and when I order the Italian "roll ups" butcher says "you know you can't grill these"...I told him I grill them all the time...of course no response..needless to say I only go here if I receive a gift card...even then I don't want to walk through the door...PS mr. Grumpy butcher man here's proof you CAN grill them!!
