"For the suburban Twin Cities, Ray-J's American Grill in Woodbury is worth a look. Their servers are attentive, polite, and professional, and the food is average to above average. Happy hour specials are good, and the ambiance is ok, if not a bit loud, particularly in the bar area. My only disappointments there have been with the greeters / reception staff, as they've sometimes appeared either disinterested or overwhelmed, depending on the time of day and length of the waiting list."

"My wife and I found the Sausage and Pepperoni Woodfired Pizza to be a very good choice! Our friends had pizza as well and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was very timely and courteous. We will be back!"

"Ray J's has a great Sunday brunch, including a nice Bloody Mary bar. I've been here several times for dinner and have always found the food to be better than I expected; a pleasant surprise! It is definitely a step or three up from the usual TGI Friday’s, Applebee’s, Champps, and the like. A solid find and we will keep coming back!"

"Pretty good cracker. Wildly popular, therefore very busy. Reservations essential. Ribs are recommended. Ask for seating away from the windows in winter - a bit drafty and cold."

"Pleasantly surprised!! We needed a last minute spot on Valentines Day. This was the only restaurant available for 8 of us. I wasn't expecting much other than a spot for good friends to gather. I was surprised by the selection of food. We all were happy with our selections. I can't give it five stars because it is not elegant or amazing...but for an average "let's grab dinner out" they do a super,five star job."

"This restaurant reminded both my sister and me of an Applebee's ambiance, but with better food. I emailed them about gluten free options and they never got back to me. However when I ordered the same salad as my sister, lo and behold, hers came without the crutons. I guess they did take note..."
