the legacy of
Rays
Rooted in Faith. Powered by Love. Inspired by Family. United Through Great Food.
​​
At Ray’s Southern Foods, we believe great food does more than fill your plate—it brings people together, tells stories, and lays the foundation for legacy.
As a Black-family-owned soul food barbecue restaurant and catering company, our mission is to feed hearts as much as we feed stomachs. Every bite of our food is seasoned with heritage, hospitality, and the deep belief that community begins at the table.
What started as a passion for cooking and a dream to build something lasting; growing into one of Georgia’s premier catering companies. From the smoky aroma of our slow-smoked barbecue to the rich, comforting flavors of our southern sides, we bring the traditions of the South to life at every event we touch. Whether it’s an intimate backyard celebration or a corporate event with hundreds of guests, we show up with excellence, authenticity, and soul.
​
As we continue to grow, Ray’s Southern Foods is proud to feature our dine-in restaurant in Forest Park, Georgia—a warm, welcoming space where families, friends, and neighbors can break bread, share stories, and feel at home. It’s more than a restaurant—it’s the next chapter in our journey to build something that lasts for generations.
