Neighborhood: Pflugerville
Came here I needed a good dinner to cheer me up, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. They skimp on the chips and salsa, but you need to remember that the main course (in my case, shrimp enchiladas with salad, rice, and beans) are the main attraction her e.
I was really impressed with the quality of everything overall, especially when you consider that it's basically a blink-and-you-miss hole in the wall that could be mistaken for a quilt shop judging by the outside decor. The prices on everything are rather reasonable too. Would definitely come back here again.

My experience here felt rather awkward. I came for lunch expecting just a normal Mexican joint, and as soon as I got there in my ten year old car with a cracked windshield, army surplus tshirt, and year old Chuck Taylors, I felt like I was just an indigent beggar from off the street. The ambiance is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over the top; all it was missing was a string quartet.
You get two salsas. One is rather boring and only tastes decent once you add some of the hot sauce to it that's conveniently at your table and the other is a pretty decent Roasted Chipotle. I ended up with their chicken chile relleno, which had the consistency of tuna fish (Don't mean this negatively, just not expected in Latin American cuisine). Overall, the food was alright. Nothing worth gushing about, but nothing that would make me wish that Jesus would hurry up and return to Earth either.

Family dining at it's finest in Kent, but also what I think contributes to many of Ohio's expanding waistlines as their portions are HUMONGOUS. It doesn't just serve fried, fatty food, it revels in it. Every time I ate here, it was the only meal I had the whole day. I'll definitely say that it's the best place to go to when you're having a terrible day and wish to drown your sorrows with food. Certainly not for the health-conscious, but when you have the Co-Op downtown that wants $4 for a bunch of bananas, I'll take this instead.
I am going to do two reviews of this place, as it changes dramatically depending on when you go.
Review 1: For dinner, Ray's is very solid. I have yet to find a bar that rivals the beer selection anywhere else. The portions are VERY generous (strongly recommend the pasta with sausage and peppers), and the overall atmosphere is very pleasant.
Review 2: This is one of the worst places you could go on the weekend for nightlife. All the frat boys who aren't still passed out from the previous evening's Bud Light, Cornhole, and Date Rape Extravaganza all flock here to get into fights about Browns v. Steelers and brag about how much they've manscaped in the past week. Also, the bar TVs will constantly be playing some kind of sport; they will be playing GOLF before Comedy Central is on there. In addition, the staff is so overrun with orders that you won't get served for a long while.
Overall, I do like this place a lot; I just hate seeing it devolve into what it is on Friday/Saturday evenings.

When I moved to Kent back in 2007, I was hard up for a good Mexican restaurant and found that I lived right across the street from this place. So I tried it, and as a Texan who has experienced much more Mexican food than your average Ohioan has, I was really disappointed. Everyone gushed to me about this place, but I told them it tasted like it was made by white people who use too much grease and get their refried beans out of a can. Not to mention they use that cheap, thin cheese sauce that guarantees a heart attack. If this is all that's available like it was to me, go for it, otherwise for those with discerning taste should drive to Cleveland for some passable Mexican food.

Yep, don't really see why a lot of other record shops in Austin even bother...I will say though that their DVD section is kind of limited and they could have a better parking situation (especially with the construction currently taking place there) BUT if you want it, they'll have it 9.9 times out of ten.

Everything here is just a big ball of delicious. Their homemade salsa is (dare I say the best in Austin that I've had so far?), and they can cook the best frickin' chile relleno you've ever had in your life in less than five minutes. Also, I'm pretty sure that the Ode to Joy of Beethoven's 9th was inspired by their buffet (with all sorts of stew meats, taco fixins, chile rellenos, and more. Follow it up with a very solid rice pudding for dessert and you might have to be rolled out of there like that one girl from Willy Wonka.
This is THE quintessential midwestern diner, complete with waitresses that call you "hon" or "sug." The service is impeccable, and the food is the perfect morning-after cure for those nights of debauchery.
Oh, and their Chocolate Puddiing pie is amazing. If I still lived in Kent, I'd take trips there just for that bit of nectar and ambrosia.

I asked for a BBQ chicken sandwich with fries, and was given an almost flavorless chicken salad sandwich (which I didn't even know was even served at a BBQ joint) plus about ten lukewarm french fries.
I'd eat here if I were in a rush and it were the first place I saw in my line of sight, but otherwise....nah.

Warning: You may find it difficult to stop eating once you start here.
