Joe's hustle to grow from a smoker under a popup canopy to this beautiful new building is inspiring and well deserved. The half chicken and the brisket mac bowl are my two favorite items on the menu, no question. There will be a wait, but it's worth every second. I really do hope he does in house seating eventually but I think he's already outgrown the new building and it might have a negative impact to his operation.

I dined here with a friend recently and had a good experience overall. This quintessential college…read moretown bar has a charmingly rough aesthetic which is pretty much what I want when I think "college bar." It has wooden booth seats, is dimly lit and contains mostly down to earth patrons of all ages. The service was prompt and our server was pleasant. My friend ordered a grilled cheese with fries and thought it was good overall (nothing spectacular). I really enjoyed my chicken gyro mostly because I couldn't detect dill in the cucumber sauce that it came with, and I really dislike dill which is often in tzatziki sauce.

My friend and I stumbled upon this place while walking around Kent one evening. On a Monday night,…read moremost other places were closed, but Ray's Place was open.. The interior is warm and inviting and has the feel of a cozy pub. There's a large amount of seating, including a bar, tables, and booths. The menu is mainly just basic pub fare, including apps, sandwiches, soups, and salads. My friend tried the chicken Gyro and I ordered a grilled cheese and fries. Nothing fancy, just a quick evening meal. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was just OK, nothing spectacular if I was in the area and looking for a place to pop in for a drink, I may come back, but it wouldn't be on the top of my list.

Green beans are canned and just heated up. Someone else in our party has the ribs. They were hard and the meat did not fall off the bone. He didn't even eat them. He only had one.

The service was great. The only thing I wish is that they were more transparent on prices and what certain things were. It was $11.95 for a regular sized bowl, but it was plus an extra $4 for a protein, which is usually included in the base price at most places. Also, I had no idea what their super sauce was, haha. Probably wouldn't go again, just because the price is pretty expensive for me as a college student. Definitely recommend.

It is easy to find, easy to park, spacious with plenty of seating and an outdoor deck overlooking the river. We were seated promptly and greeted by a very nice young lady by the name of Lorelei (quite a wonderful name). She was effective, efficient, pleasant, and made our experience that much better. At the entrance was a surprisingly well stocked wine cellar with some very good names. I was looking forward to a nice glass of wine for lunch. Unfortunately, the table selection only included a very few obscure names by the glass, so that option was out. The menu included all the standard burgers, flatbreads, and odds and ends one would expect. The food was good and we had a nice lunch. We finished with a nice cup of coffee and a pleasant smile from Lorelei. I very much enjoyed our excursion to Kent State University and "The River Merchant". I would recommend both.
