Johnny Ray's is a chain of barbecue restaurants. The first location was opened by Johnny Ray in 1954 at the Roebuck Shopping Center. Ray moved the restaurant to Valley Avenue in 1985.
The chain is known for its pulled pork and chicken barbecue (offered in "blonde" or "brunette" for white or dark meat) and for its signature "Honey's Pies" (banana, chocolate, coconut and lemon cream pies).
Ray's daughter, Dee Wood, opened a second location with her husband, Gary, and son, Chad, on Gadsden Highway in Trussville in 1990. That location closed temporarily after Wood retired in 2009.
Most Johnny Ray's locations are operated by The Johnny Ray Companies, Inc., headed by Alton Shields.
