Ray Ray’s Hog Pit in Columbus, Ohio

Ray Ray’s Hog Pit has grown to expand to six locations since it first opened, and it's racked up a ton of awards in that time. They serve some of the best barbecue, if not the best, in all of Ohio. Portions are healthy and include ribs, sausage, and pork covered in their homemade sauce, which is both sweet and tangy. They smoke their meats using hardwood for around 16 hours, depending on the cut.
