Cheap pre-cooked food, ideal for a quick lunch if what you need is to get some carbs to hold you until dinner. The food it self is ok for the price you pay.
Ray is very polite and welcoming, always accommodating and caring,
I would also suggest to add some fresh greenery to your options, prepackaged salads .

If you're hungry and at any one of the engineering buildings, this place hits the spot. There's nothing particularly remarkable about the food. It's mostly cafeteria style grub, and I'm pretty sure a lot of it is premade before it's served. As a result, you don't really get the home cooked vibe you'd think you'd get from a place called "Ray's Place." But Ray is a really nice guy, and this is the only spot to get food nearby without having to walk all the way to the student union. Given the scarcity, it's does the job.

Great food at a reasonable price and family-owned. Enjoy it while it's here, the university is itching to displace them so that their contract with Aramark doesn't have any competition.

It's good if you want the feel of a home-cooked meal right on campus. The lunch menu changes daily, so stopping by to see what's offered is recommended. They also have plenty of snacks if you were just looking for something light!

I usually eat there 4-6 times a week on my way to or from class. The food is always fresh and yummy and if you are in a hurry they have really good sandwiches that are very inexpensive. I strongly recommend going to Rays!

Ray's Place is the best place to get authentic, modern Southern cooking. It's great comfort food after an advising appointment that accomplished nothing, or a math class with a professor who can't teach. :)
