Dining Guide
Ray’s BBQ Shack
In a strip center just south of the University of Houston campus you’ll find some of the best fried catfish you’ll ever eat, and some great barbecue to go along with it. The barbecue comes from the experienced hands of co-owner Ray Busch, who has been serving smoked meat to the public via a food truck since 1985. It’s a mash-up of Southeast Texas cajun, fried fish, and barbecue. If it’s barbecue you’re looking for, then it’s hard to beat the four meat sampler plate.. The only problem is you’ll have to choose between one of the many house-made links.

With its new, larger location, this Third Ward joint’s fried seafood is just as good as its smoked meats.
