Description

**Discovering Ray's: A Hidden Gem for Bar Food Lovers**

Nestled in a cozy location, Ray's offers delightful bar food, particularly renowned for its burgers and crispy waffle fries. Patrons rave about the delicious offerings, often highlighting the double cheeseburger as a must-try. While the food consistently receives high marks, some guests have noted that service quality can be inconsistent, with a few encountering a less-than-welcoming staff. The ambiance leans towards a relaxed, casual vibe, albeit with a dim interior in need of upgrades. With prices averaging $10 to $20 per person, Ray's remains a cherished local spot for both residents and visitors alike.

Just moved to the area, and I've definitely found my new favorite spot.

Food was pretty good not the cheapest place but still not the most expensive. Moderately priced. Whoever the lady working was had a little bit of an attitude that’s what’s stopping me from giving it 4 stars. I didn’t know it was a cash only bar neither did they tell me that till it was time to pay. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4

We love this place. We are lake people but come up all year around always a stop at Ray's. Their burgers are wonderful and Taco Thursday you can't beat a better place for dinner. Darryl and Kelly are the usual servers for us, they have become friends. The cocktails are terrific! You will not be disappointed.
