Why Ray Ray's Hog Pit Clintonville why was this picked

We treat the Clintonville room at 4214 N High as the hometown Ray Ray's stop: St. Louis spars, baby backs wet or dry, and burnt ends when the board has them. The new dine-in space keeps outdoor pit energy without losing carryout speed, and the sauces still swing sweet to vinegar. It suits neighborhood nights when you want award-winning Columbus barbecue on High Street.

  • Clintonville original with indoor seating
  • Spare ribs wet or dry rubbed
