As a business owner, I must say that the customer service here is exceptional, and the food is outstanding. I brought some contractors and my team with me, and we all loved it!
Great breakfast!! Glad I got there at 10am on a Thursday as by 11am every seat was taken. The staff was friendly and the menu was creative and offers something for all palates. I choose eggs over easy, house made corned beef hash, grits and multigrain toast with coffee. Food was very good and so was the coffee. Looking forward to going back and trying other things on the menu.
The food was okay, just quality filling food with no frills. Excellent service and very clean space. They cook with attention to detail and pride, and food comes out in a timely fashion.
Love Ray's. We are lucky to have a place like this in Montclair and the community/family atmosphere here is something most places lost long ago. I visit often in the mornings and am a veg so can't comment on the wonderful-looking meaty/BBQ or lunch/dinner menu. We have only been for breakfast and what we love about the place is the excellent friendly quick service, tasty home-cooked food and the fact that it is the only diner in town open before 7am. Honestly, what real diner is closed at 6:30am? In Montclair every other one is closed so if you actually get going in the AM and want a diner meal before school or work, this is your place. They do a robust takeout and coffee business for folks headed to the train at Walnut St station. Perfect spot for a quick meal or takeout on the way to/from the train. Highly recommend!

So I went to Ray?s the first time for lunch. I had the chicken pesto Panni w/fries and to my surprise they blew it out of the park. The food comes out hot and fast. Our server She) was very polite and understanding. Definitely I have a new Spot inMontclair #carpenterstouch
I consider myself a diner expert, and Ray's might be the best I've ever visited. The atmosphere is cozy, with a strong sense of community, and the staff are outstanding. The huevos rancheros with spicy chorizo from the menu were the best I've ever tasted, and the coffee is excellent. A definite 10/10!
As a business owner, I find the customer service at Ray's exceptional, and their menu is outstanding. I've brought other contractors and my crew here, and we absolutely love it!
