I really liked the meatball sandwich and rip tips were ok but I wasn't a big fan for their chili cheese fries, mac & cheese and coleslaw. My husband wasn't a big fan of his Italian sausage and beef sandwich unfortunately. Banana pudding was ok as well.
Everyone was nice and friendly :)
I'd absolutely comeback to try more!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Linda B.Rockford, MI2130Jan 5, 2024
Wow. Come here. Eat.
Note that "wet" means the sandwich is in a bowl with Au jus and needs to be eaten with knife and fork. Option to order Au jus on the side.
We had Italian meat and an Italian meet sausage combo with peppers and onion. A feast. A little spicy!
Fries were fresh hot homemade.
Banana pudding is dreamy. Do it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Steve W.Kalamazoo, MI011Nov 17, 2023
Ordered a "Chicago Dog" and an Italian beef. Many people came in after me and ordered at the counter. They all received their order before i did.
When i finally did receive my food (20 minutes later) the "Chicago dog was PLAIN. PLAIN little poor excuse for a hot dog on a bun. No toppings. No pickles. No sport peppers. No mustard. No relish.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ashelee S.Fremont, CA1302422Mar 17, 2022
My husband and I stopped here on our way into town and everything we had was excellent. The Italian beef sandwich was probably the best we've ever had (even better than what we've had in Chicago) and it was HUGE. Like definitely a meal for two itself lol. We also had the pulled pork sandwich, Mac n cheese, chili, and banana bread pudding which were all delicious. Would definitely order it all again!
And on top of that, the staff were amazingly kind and chatted with us, even gave us a sample of the rib tips which were also awesome. Highly recommend Ray Ray's!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Eric G.Madison, OH094176Jul 19, 2022
Italian beef with onions and peppers dry, Chicago hot dog, French fries. Total was $20 and I added $2 tip. I wish I could get it back. My coworker ordered his wet and I think they made mine as well even though I ordered arizona dry. The concept of wet makes me sick. Au ju is meant for dipping day old bread. But still dipping not pouring broth into a to go sandwich. Disgusting. Fries were ok but stingy for the price. Chicago dog is the only reason they didn't get 2 stars. I'm too nice. Also a bit to much Italian seasoning on beef.

I was in at the top of November 2020, and being from the Chicago area I have been blessed with growing up around some of the best italian beef sandwich shops there are in the Midwest, so I was SUPER thrilled to find Ray Ray's tucked into a tiny strip mall offering authentic Chicago style foods, especially the pile-it-on-high and thinly sliced roast beef sandwiches! Oh my was it good and oh-so-juicy! They offer all kinds of Chicago style fare, so if I ever travel through again I will be sure to stop for another beef or maybe a Maxwell Polish!
Keep up the GREAT Chicago-tasting food guys. LOVE IT!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 823764295Apr 27, 2019
If you are looking for something different to try, with a foreign kind of taste then don't think too much. This place is like if you were at an Italian beef place @Chicago. The taste is simply great. We ordered theItalian with beef and Sausage combo with onions and peppers and it was delicious and huge!!!
We also had the chili fries with hot sauce. Great addition. Just be aware that they have no restrooms so wash your hands before :) or ask for a spoon. It's so good you will need to get your hands into the sandwich!
It's a small place...so if you don't plan on eating here, a good option is to have it to go.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Matthew C.Bristol, VA5483Mar 25, 2023

So let me tell a story about my fave BAE BAE
I was at a strip club (she works there by the WAY WAY)
Dancing to Offspring's Come Out And PLAY PLAY
And How To Save A Life by the god damn FRAY FRAY
She looks so good, all the boys start to PRAY PRAY
That she'll see them and make them her PREY PREY
And when she does that move where she drops and does the SPLAY SPLAY
She makes every patron give their money all aWAY WAY
She leaves the stage and leaves the men in disarRAY RAY
And meets me in back where I kiss her and I SAY SAY
That she rocks my world, on stage she can SLAY SLAY
And I wanna take her out for dinner cuz it's her bDAY DAY
She's so good for me I could never beTRAY TRAY
She pimps my body out, but my heart will never STRAY STRAY
So we go out for a dinner SOIREE REE
And she picks her fave place - hot dogs from RAY RAY!
After dinner things get a little risQUE QUE
As she tells me which kinda guy I should porTRAY TRAY
And we engage in a little forePLAY PLAY
Doing every single naughty sex cliCHE CHE
Then she starts to whip me and demands that I NEIGH NEIGH
Like Katy Perry she says she's my own bufFET FET
After appetizers then she feeds me my enTREE TREE
Most girls are steak, my girl's the Mignon FiLET LET
Forget basic lame vanille Christian GRAY GRAY
That's about as thrilling as knitting and croCHET CHET
She's the only girl that could make me GAY GAY
Make my bum feel like an Interstate HighWAY WAY
I'm all over her like chicks are into Axe Body SPRAY SPRAY
I guess I'm lucky that I'm a very good LAY LAY
She is to me what Marley was to REGGAE GAE
And I eat hot dogs for her - and I don't just mean RAY RAY
What?
What to get: Maxwell St Polish
What to get for your bff Max Von Sydow: Actually, I don't know Max well.
When you're in Kalamazoo, there are 2 things you simply must eat. One is the best BBQ I've ever had outside Texas and KC, at TNT BBQ. The other is just down the road from there, and it's the Polish dog here at Ray Ray's. Their other Chicago food is damn good, too.
This hot dog place in Kalamazoo is definitely five stars. More than that, it's one of the best Chicago food eateries (and I've been to hundreds, no exaggeration) outside Chicago in the country. Easily the best I've found in Michigan and one of the best anywhere.
The Polish is what you should really get. It's so juicy and tasty and perfect. They did a great job with it. It's actually one of the best hot dogs I've had anywhere in the country, and one of the best tasting Polishes I've ever had.
The Chicago dog is pretty good, although not as good as some of the best ones I've had. It's still definitely better than most, and the best one I've had in Michigan by a distance.
A really nice touch is that they give you a free drink with every purchase so I appreciated that. Seems to be really popular and so it should be.
As an aside, if the Sun was named Ray, then rays from the sun would not be Sun Rays. They'd be Ray Rays.
And they'd make one hellll of a hot hot dog.
Now there's something to think about.Helpful 42Thanks 0Love this 47Oh no 0
