Our Menu
Slow-Smoked, Every Time
All meats are smoked low and slow over hardwood. We pair them with made-from-scratch Southern sides that complement every bite.
Why Ray B.
BBQ Done Right — Every Time
We don't cut corners. Every event gets the same care and passion that built our reputation across the Triangle.
Hardwood-Smoked Meats
We never rush the smoke. Every protein is slow-cooked over real hardwood for authentic, deep BBQ flavor.
Fresh, Premium Ingredients
We personally select and prepare every ingredient — from meats to house-made sauces and scratch-made sides.
Genuine Hospitality
We treat every event like family. Personalized attention, on-time setup, and service that exceeds expectations.
Custom Menus
No two events are identical. We work with you to build a menu that fits your guests, budget, and event style.
What Clients Say
Real Events. Real Reactions.
Don't take our word for it — here's what the people we've served across the Triangle have to say.
"OMGoodness, I need a gallon of baked beans... between the brisket and pork chop and BBQ sauce... good grief... and thanks for my dinner... yep, we took plates to go!"
"If anyone's out there looking for a caterer for your wedding or any other type of social event, please do not hesitate to reach out to Ray B's. You will not be disappointed."
"We have been working with Ray B's for four years and our sixth event, and it's always been top notch service, unbelievable food, and a great atmosphere — a down home country feel with real family customer service."
"Your smokehouse meats are not compatible with any others... Selecting you to cater our wedding was one of the best choices we made. Anyone in the Triangle area looking for great smokehouse, do not hesitate."
Our Story
Built on Family, Fire & Flavor
Ray B. Smokehouse BBQ was founded by Mark R. Brown, whose love for barbecue was sparked by his late father-in-law, Richard Carr. After 15 years of perfecting his craft at family gatherings, Mark launched his first pop-up during the COVID-19 pandemic — and never looked back.
What started as a backyard tradition quickly grew into one of North Carolina's go-to barbecue catering companies — delivering unforgettable flavor and experiences, one bite at a time.
Every event is personal to us. When you hire Ray B., you're not getting a catering company — you're getting a team that treats your guests like family.
