"I really wish I could rate it higher. But when both the food and wait times are lacking, something 's got to give.I was excited to try my first St. Louis barbecue and was just a little hungry--I didn 't want a huge meal with sides and a basket of bread. So their menu looked perfect to me--two different varieties of mini sliders and even individual ribs for $3. I sat on the patio and ordered the brisket sliders and one rib. I was asked if I wanted the spicy or sweet barbecue sauce on the side, and opted for spicy.The food came out rather quickly. It was the first time in my life I had tasted tough brisket. What a disappointment. Brisket should be fatty, salty, soft to chew. This was stringy and dry. I dipped it in the sauce, which was good, but couldn 't save the meat. I did love the garlic-toasted bun. I hoped the rib might be better, since the menu had called it falling off the bone. Unfortunately, GNAWING off the bone was the best I could do. That piece of meat wasn 't worth $3.My server was at first very friendly and attentive, but when they checked on me at the end of my meal, I said I 'd like the check as soon as they were able. Fifteen minutes later the check was brought, and ten minutes after that my card was returned. I actually took the receipt with the tip inside because I hadn 't seen my server in ages and needed to catch a bus (I 'd already missed one).I used their restroom while I was inside. They are very spacious and clean.I wanted to return on a hungrier day and try their pork steak, but I 'm not sure I want to spend $20 if the meat will be the same quality this was. In a city known for its BBQ, they 're going to have to step it up."

"I have NEVER had worse service in a restaurant in my life. I 'm pretty laid back and chill and so are my friends, so it took A LOT to actually get my quiet and shy friend to start screaming at the manager. We came in during the middle of summer, when it was about 100+ degrees outside and we had just walked from the convention center here. First thing we ask the waitress is for water, lots of it, and for it to keep coming. We were to order sushi from the bar and anything else from her. She took our original order, brought us water with our soups and bolted before my friend could order something from the kitchen. The rest of the meal, she did not look at us once. We ran out of water in about a minute and despite waving at her, slurping our straws on the last few drips over and over and even yelling hey as she passed us on her way to the kitchen, she never once even gave us the time of day. The sushi rolls were good, but my friend never even got to order her food in the half an hour we were there and we had to become friends with the bus boy to get some water refills. It wasn 't even busy, there were two other waitresses and only two other tables were full. I will NEVER go here again. The only reason I 'm giving the place two stars is because the food was good and after yelling at the manager for 10 minutes, she comped our whole check. Still, this is not something I want to have to do, especially at a place that costs around $15 per roll. I guess my best advice is to just skip Ra altogether."
