Willie Ray’s Q Shack 288 Blairs Ferry Road Northeast, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402

"Willy Ray was super nice! I ordered brisket but they were already out for the day and the chicken is dark meat which I'm not a fan of. I'm not a fan of pork so I did the ribs which were very good. The potato salad was good. I'm not a huge fan of beans but I tried them, they were good for beans. My husband had a pulled pork sandwich which he said was very good. Very well presented."

"Being from the south, I am a big bbq lover, and when I heard about Willie Ray’s Q Shack, I had to try it. I was pleasantly surprised that he is from Louisiana, just as I am. Anyway, I usually don’t care for anyone else’s baked beans or potato salad because I have my own recipe for baked beans. But I truly enjoyed the beans and the potato salad from here and the ribs were smoked to perfection. Kudos!!"

"Ribs are so good. I don't find ribs I love very often, but these are perfect. I love the smoky flavor and texture. Great customer service to."

"I wish I could give a glowing report like everyone else. Unfortunately our experience has left me confident I won't be using Willie Ray's in the future. I ordered 16 lunches for a work function. I called on Tuesday and gave the order for Friday. I called on Thursday and confirmed the order and again stated we would be arriving at 11 to pick up our food. The food was not ready until 1130. I had 16 people at the office ready to eat food at 1130. There are lunch specials on the website for a different item each day. 8-10 dollars with 2 sides. When our total came to 260 some dollars which was 100 dollars more than I had anticipated Willie told me he couldn't run a business and make money if he sold lunches for 8-10 dollars and when I pointed out that is what his website quoted he said he wasn't aware of that and if it did then it wouldn't come with 2 sides and I said it is in writing on your website it comes with 2 sides! He basically did not care and ended the conversation. I was disappointed that someone that is so appreciative of social media recognition for the positive things he does is not aware of his own website content. He hasn’t up dated pricing so beware of pricing increase on your receipt! The least he could do is honor the price when someone questions it. In the future we will utilize a different business."

"Went there today with my mom. They are friendly and efficient. You drive-up and place your order and pay and if there is someone behind you then you drive around to the other side to get your order. I had the rib tips combo and was not disappointed. The food was so good, I would definitely go again."
