Columbus BBQ favorite Ray Ray’s faces tough times

Ray Ray’s, a Columbus staple for smoked brisket and ribs, is now fighting to survive after beef prices soared out of reach. Half their locations—including Johnstown, Marion, and Linworth—have already closed, and the rest are hanging on through bankruptcy restructuring. For regulars, this means your go-to BBQ spot might be gone or a longer drive away. It’s a real wake-up call for anyone who loves local restaurants: when the price of one key ingredient spikes, even the most beloved neighborhood joints can be at risk. How do you think rising food costs are changing our local dining scene? #Business #Columbus #RayRaysBBQ
