About RayNathan's
What began as a friendship between Stephen Carroll and Thomas Blanding, born in the rigors of corporate restaurant kitchen work (and late-night video game football sessions) soon became a dream that started stirring in 1996. Out of a mutual love of... More

Customer Reviews
We had a fantastic experience at RayNathan’s in Cramerton! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The smoked chicken was tender with just the right amount of smoke, and the sides were just as impressive. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Their mac and cheese was incredibly rich and full of a gentle smoky flavor that made every bite memorable. I tried fried okra for the very first time and it honestly felt like the perfect introduction because it was crisp, warm, and surprisingly addictive. I am already looking forward to returning and bringing my friends and family along for another great meal.
Ordered the 3 plate with chicken breast, turkey, and pulled pork. Also, got 2 sides Mac n Cheese and the street corn. The only thing I'm noticing the restaurant when asking how the chicken was the young girl said well it's ok...that's not really selling on a customer. Then someone a little older said, "It's good you will like it. " After getting seated we got the plate quickly but the only thing in the food is was not hot. When you pay 30 dollars for a meal it should immediately come out piping hot not room temperature!
We really enjoyed our lunch. Easy to order, everything came out pretty fast and nice and hot. Brisket was perfectly cooked, large portion and bbq street corn was delicious.
After all the rave I heard, I was honestly disappointed. The reputation exceeded the reality. Mac n Cheese was good but better at the end, greens were good all the way through, brisket was good but not juicy, ribs were good but not very meaty and nothing I ate was as good as I heard. What I heard was the reason why I made the visit. Atmosphere was straight and the service was great. I would probably come back to try something different. It was odd being inside of a building I used to frequent without the smell of a fish camp. The sign was inside the dining area and I really appreciated that opportunity for nostalgia. With all that said, anybody reading this should definitely give it a try.
