      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!

      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.

      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.

      This was supposed to be a "Chicago Dog"

      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!

      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!

      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.

      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.
