Howlin’ Ray’s

Saturday 10am.  It’s opening time and there is a huge line.  Luckily most of the line was in the shade so while it was hot and humid you won’t get sunburned.

My friend Steve saved a spot a third of the way up the line and in a little over 90 minutes I put my order in and the process was quite speedy afterwards.

Staff was quite nice.

I ordered half a bird country style and a waffle.  Waffle was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and had a delicious sweet flavor.  One of the best waffles I’ve tried.  Fried chicken had crunchy and delicious batter.  Chicken was juicy and full of flavor.  Taste a bit like Honey’s Kettle fried chicken but without the honey component.  Krinkle cut fries were crunchy and had a tasty potato flavor.

Howlin’ Ray’s makes an awesome waffle and fried chicken.  I’d eat at Ray’s all the time except for long drive and the long line.

  1. Great chicken and waffles! My fellow table savers turned out to be super nice.

    1. Next time I’m gonna get chicken and waffles! That’s good you made new friends!

  2. My friend’s boyfriend worked here for a bit I think! I can’t believe the long line. I heard people get there at dawn. I want to see pic of the waffle 🙁
    So the chicken wasn’t served on top of it? I would have ordered everything on the menu if I had to stand in line that long.

    1. Nice! Did he get lots of free food? I didn’t get a picture of the waffle. It was Maggie’s and I didn’t plan on eating part of it. You can order a chicken and waffle combo but I just ordered half a chicken with a waffle on the side. You are wise. Next time I’ll order some stuff to go.

      1. I can’t remember if he got free food. I’m surprised you didn’t bring your infamous cooler to bring some chicken back home. I wonder if the fried chicken here re heats well? I’d be super curious about their chicken wings.

        1. I did bring my infamous cooler. Later in the day I visited Fosselman’s ice cream and purchased 8 half gallons of ice cream. I couldn’t put chicken in there as it would freeze and I’d have less room for ice cream.

          Next time I’d have 2 bring 2 coolers. One for frozen food and one for non-frozen food.

          I had a chicken wing in my order of a half chicken. It tasted great! 🙂
