A very familiar place, comfortable, good service, the food is delicious, the waitress who served us is very friendly and attentive.

Ray's Diner in Elgin is a hidden gem with excellent service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere that will make you feel like part of the family. Despite the small physical size of the restaurant, the staff go above and beyond to ensure a wonderful dining experience. The skillets are a must-try, and while there may be a wait due to popularity, it is definitely worth it. The friendly staff, quick turnover of tables, and tasty breakfast classics make this neighborhood staple a place you'll want to keep coming back to. With fast service, home-cooked breakfast options, and reasonable prices, Ray's Diner is a highly recommended spot for a satisfying meal.

Small but delicious. Very attentive wait staff. Chilaquiles was fantastic. Atmosphere is pure Americana. Parking is tight when they are busy, so be warned.

My wife and I love going to Ray's. It's a rather small place, in terms on its physical size. However, that does not stop them from providing excellent service....
