About this stop
Ray’s Country Smokehouse-Grill was a Gastonia mainstay for smoked pork, brisket, and traditional sides for more than 60 years before the England family retired.
The Broad Street room’s final day was Oct 3, 2026. New owners plan a breakfast-and-lunch concept, not a Ray’s barbecue continuation.
Last checked Oct 8, 2026.
