Ray’s Prime Foods

Coming in to Detroit from out of town, we needed steaks and Unilocal guided us here. What a fantastic selection-​fresh cut meats, award winning kielbasa, their own Italian sausage (also award winning) Dearborn spiral slices hams. Small in house smoked boneless hams, their own bacon. It was all quite overwhelming in a deliriously happy sort of way. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. When I doubted the size of the steaks — my wonderful sales lady opened up the beautifully packaged meat and showed me. They were perfection. Later we grilled them. Awesome! I’m surprised the store has so reviews as it is a first class joint! (Meat pun-couldn’t resist!).

Spectacular ~shiny happy people every where…
Shiny happy people…
Holy smokers this place is legit. on a serious rib tip. No joke positivety is contagious! Ray’s is setting the bar high. If your a negative Ned, or Nancy no entry, simply because everyone is happy at Ray’s prime and if your not, forget about it– Entry denied!!!
I have drove by a bunch and had heard that Ray’s was the real deal, however today I was on the hunt.
I needed Bones for bone broth soup, so I called Ray’s because they’re a butcher shop and yes they had them and gladly donated them. much love and to boot they wrote my name on em and serenaded me…
Just kidding, seriously though the customer servive is out of this world, I felt like a queen shopping on Rodeo Drive. yes that good.
The quality of meats, cheese, salads, pasta. Omg it’s unsurmountable, as well as a full blown cookie, cake emporium. which never mind sugar is the devil.
I love Ray’s! Awesome food and meat bundles. deals to be had. Seriously wow! As well as catering. Amazing selection on top of the best home town service eveeeerrr. no doubt about it,. Hella good. A trip or a stop by and you’ll be hooked. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Rock on Ray’s prime reprensenting for almost 65 years. Speaks for itself:-)

Swung by Ray’s today for some whole pork loins, and they did not disappoint. My pork loins look juicy, smell fresh, and have wonderful marbling.
Colleen G.‘s review of Ray’s is spot on by the way. Customer service is outstanding, This is a family run business that treats you like family. The entire store smells amazing. It’s filled with a wonderful smokey scent. Absolutely no meat smell at all. Cuts of beef, veal, and pork absolutely glow in the coolers with flavor, especially the beef cuts. I have been to very few places where I have seen beef that red.
I really can’t say more then this place is absolutely fantastic. I will be coming back here, and coming often. :)

I love that they carry Turkey Chops. and some of the best meat in the area.

Look at the stars, it says it all, Ray and his staff provide excellent service and we have never been disappointed.

I can’t believe that Ray’s hasn’t been reviewed.
I knew I was at the right place as soon as opened the door and the smoky scent engulfed me, and I drooled a bit. It turns out they have a smoke house on site.
First off, the customer service at Ray’s is outstanding. They were busy, but I didn’t wait more than a minute before someone asked if I needed help. There is so much help behind the counter, and each one of them were friendly. They were joking around with each other, but not in that annoying way where you feel like you are being ignored.
They are also very knowledgeable about their products and were able to answer a few questions that I had, since I was getting a piece of meat that I’ve never used before. When I mentioned that I was on the hunt for a small piece of smoked meat to flavor my beans, he showed me the smallest piece he had and it was too big. Before I had time to ask if he could cut it in half, he offered to do so.
Their meat quality is top notch and everything looked super fresh. They have a sale paper and offer different things on sale each week, and these items are pretty darn cheap. Looking at the rest of their selection, the prices seemed decent. Or at least cheaper than Hiller’s.
The only thing about Ray’s that didn’t blow my socks off, were the super cheap lunch meats that I bought. They had boiled deli ham on sale for $ 1.99/lb. It wasn’t anything to brag about, but then again, it was boiled ham. I also got the $ 2.99/lb turkey breast, which I didn’t care for at all. I don’t know what brand it was, but it had that cheap Jennie-​O like texture to it. Its my fault that I ordered such cheap lunch meat, and there have to be people out there that like it. Don’t get me wrong, its edible, but I just don’t like it. Next time I will get a higher priced deli meat.
«Like» them on Face Book, and get unadvertised specials. That is how I found out about their offer of $ 5.99/lb bacon wrapped fillets. It worked out to about $ 2.00 a fillet. It made for a delicious dinner, one that I’m still thinking about and happy that I still have more in the freezer.
I will be back to Ray’s over and over again, and I’m willing to travel from Plymouth for this goodness. Go and get some, you won’t be sorry.
