Our Story


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 food, cooking, and serving, came RayNathan’s. Over the last 27 years, the timeline, circumstances, concepts, and menus have changed but three things have remained constant- the friendship, the name RayNathan’s, and the love and support from our wives (Elizabeth and Tekedra) and children.

  • The food and service were both great. Tasty fresh made BBQ. I would venture to say this is the best BBQ I Have had in Charlotte. You should definitely try it.

  • Outstanding food and service. Some of the best brisket in the state. Portion sizes are very generous for the price. Service format is very efficient at getting you food. They are always well staffed which is rare now. The ambiance is also very cool with unique decor.
