We had a family breakfast with 10 people. Most restaurants were packed, but Fa-Rays was so accommodating and got us right in. The prices were right and the food is always delicious! read more

I placed an order through instacart. Instacart usually has the best delivery people and accurate orders. Not tonight. The delivery guy was awesome but i was missing items in my order and i got a disgusting looking mess of a double hamburger when i ordered a different type of burger. The salad was ok. The fries were yummy but i paid for a drink that i never got. So...4 items ordered and 2 wrong. Wrong burger and no drink. I called the restaurant and was told i have to deal with instacart to resolve this. She wasnt very nice at all. So, the delivery guy was great but not only was the burger wrong, it was just a mess thrown into a container. And no $3.95 beverage. Reaching the restaurant was worthless. Unable to reach instacart. First time in years i had a bad experience with the instacart order and i will never darken the Fa-Rays door step ever again (used to be a fav). read more

I have been coming here since 1985. Many owners and menu changes but 1). The current owners are great and you get quality food / good value. I love their foot long coney dogs. Same bun, and coney mix/meat. Their onion rings are crunchy and good. Get some ranch dressing and add frank's hot sauce. Service was perfect. We never "wanted" for anything. read more

We had a Belgian waffle with pecans; a grilled cheese sandwich, the ham and bean soup, the Cole slaw and the coffee. Everything was delicious. We were served immediately. Our waitress was attentive to our needs. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. Very much the ambiance of a family owned diner. We would definitely come back. read more

Great breakfasts. I had the stacker. Delicious blend of flavors and the size was perfect. Coffee hot and good. Staff delightful.

Fantastic service but my wife & I went there this week for dinner & my wife ordered a hamburger. The menu said that it came with fries but she asked if she could pay an up charge & get a salad instead. She was told "no, do you want to add a salad?" RIDICULOUS! Why would you not give a customer what they want if they're willing to pay for it?? The new ownership isn't spreading much goodwill. read more

I ordered Fa-Rays from DoorDash tonight, the 10 oz broasted pork chop dinner. The pork chop was so overdone and flavorless, that I only ate 3 bites. It came with mashed potatoes & gravy, and corn. They also were without seasoning and absolutely flavorless. I dumped the dinner in the trash. They used to have good food. Don't know when that changed. Won't be ordering again. read more

This restaurant used to be my go to when it comes to breakfast. Unfortunately that has ended. When my wife and I ordered, we found out that there was only 2 choices for toast, wheat and rye? Then when I received my breakfast, it only had 1 slice of toast instead of 2. They said they had a bread shortage? Was still charged full price for the breakfast? Our favorite server quit there a couple of weeks ago. New ownership is terrible. Sorry, won't be going back. Plenty of other great breakfast places around the area. read more

I took a little while to order but I set waiting for 30 minutes for them to bring me some roasted chicken. I ordered mashed potatoes. They brought me fries and I got iron rings. Nothing was hot, it was warm. It's almost like they forgot about me and forgot to bring me my food. The price of the food was way more than what it was supposed to be on the menu. I ordered a chicken dinner for 1399. I would not recommend it. My plate was covered in grease in the chicken was rarely hot. I guess they forgot about it. It was so bad I was debating on just getting up and leaving without paying So mediocre I will never ever go back here again I am so disappointed. I work way too hard for my money. read more

Very Friendly Staff Great Food. The restaurant is always clean. It's very Close to my home.

It took absolutely forever. Everything came out cold. Then took 20 minutes to get our check. Terrible experience.

Got the chicken and dumplings it tasted like dish rag water. Not very good. Also got spaghetti plate with meatballs. Came with two big meat balls which was not enough for the amount of noodles given. Same with sauce very light on the sauce and one small measly freezer breadstick. Service was good. Food not so much. Mashed potatoes are also very bland it's hard to mess up mashed potatoes.3/10 read more

Went there for the first time yesterday... nice quaint family style restaurant. I ordered the Blue Cheeseburger and onion rings while my wife ordered oatmeal and chicken dumpling soup.... Everything was excellent. Clean place, reasonable prices and we had very good service from a lady named Julie. We also got a to-go for my mother in law and she reported back that it was great. So nice to support local restaurants. We will be back! read more

Stopped here on our way home from Cuyahoga Falls. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. We were so glad we took a chance on this gem!! read more

A Barberton staple. Great food and the service has improved greatly since they've cleaned out the less reputable servers. I would now recommend them to anyone. read more

Great food, cooked by the chef with the glasses!!! The burger was amazing and fries were seasoned to perfection!

We used to go here often then after being sold the SERVICE and food has gotten worse. Used to be packed on friday evenings for their fish was there at prime time maybe 12 people there. First server was VERY rude discussed with ??manager?? she listened but to hones t did not care. For sure has lost another customer. What a shame used to such a nice family restaurant. read more

The server was in a hurry and very unfriendly. She was older middle aged woman with curly hair. She brought us cold food and took 20 minutes to get the bill. What a waste of time. Their was food on floors where they pushed it off table. Very poor service and last time I will go their. read more

Popped in for the first time in a while with my family. Food's always great, a real down-home treat. The staff was so sweet and attentive.

Service and food is good. Was surprised when I gave my credit card to find on the returned receipt a 3 percent upcharge for using a card and not cash. So beware so your not surprised but food and service is good but will rethink about returning read more

Went to give Fa-Ray's another chance after viewing reviews. Seemed to improve from my last visit. Ordered their famous coney dog. Hot dog in itself was tasty, however coney sauce looked like cat food. Meat was finely ground & a slight pink tint not sauce. Bun was wet on bottom like it sat in water. Fries were really good. Chili was same meat as coney & tons of beans. Sent it back & opted for chicken dumpling soup. It was good not great, but good. Needless to say, won't be going back. read more

Average food, truly abysmal service. Server brought our drinks and took our order for breakfast, and that was the last we saw of her. No one checked on us or offered refills. After half an hour, I finally flagged down another server and asked that our food be packed to go, as our drinks were empty and the kids were getting restless. Still had to wait another 10 minutes + for the bagged food. Do NOT recommend this restaurant. read more

I have been coming here for breakfast since I was little. There is comfort in a place that hasnt changed. The service is always fast and friendly. The breakfast food is your standard fare. Prices are reasonable. It just a simple, good/solid local joint. read more

I love Fay Ray's!!! Supurb food, great servers with an upbeat personality!! I go inside with a certain meal in mind, but as I further read the menu I can't decide now. The Omelets are so good! The meatloaf is very tasty! The fried chicken rocks! If you haven't tried this restaurant you are missing out on a great meal and friendly service!! Love it!! Now, I gotta get ready because I just made myself hungry!! read more

Having never been here before and it was on our way to the rest of our mothers day celebration we ventured in. Food was all very good except the pancakes. Yes they are large but rubbery in texture. Country fried steak, eggs, potatoes, bacon, and the assortment of toasts we got were all very good. Sausage gravy was different but not bad. Assortment of smuckers jellies was a nice touch. Our waitress was excellent. She gave our kids her pens so they could color because they didn't have crayons. Worth a look if ya want good place for at least breakfast in barberton. read more

Been coming here for years. I have only been here for breakfast but I hear tales of how great their lunches and dinners are. To me they will remain my local breakfast dive. The building is old not obnoxious and unkempt. But simply in age and style. Think of a dinner or greasy spoon where you could eat at the counter. Well, this is that place. They have an old fashioned ice cream stand that can be accessed on the outside via a serving window. Or, inside by the cashier stand. Plenty of tables and booths and most of the time they are "Seat Yourself". I always want to do that so it's nice that they recognize my needs. The staff has always been nice and friendly. This is a "regulars" kind of joint. The food has always been cooked to perfection and generously sized. They have all the typical breakfast fare. The prices are fair and reasonable. They will continue to be a breakfast go to. read more

Great service and burger. 1/2 price burgers on Wednesdays! The Western burger is amazing

Not worth the price or the effort. This is a small diner attempting, well im not really sure what they were doing. The food was pretty bland, the portions were average and the atmosphere was dark, hot and had an odd odor. We could not tell if the odor was the building or the crowd. I love small diners and mom and pop restaurants but, this one Barberton can keep as "their little secret". read more

Real old school breakfast in the original location. Our go to location. Breakfast Panini nom nom! Everything is great.

In these uneasy times of post pandemic? And no one wanting to do work. This place is doing more with less. I saw maybe 3 waitress in the main room taking care of 70 or more customers in just the main room and hustling like crazy. No hostess or buss boy on duty. They were doing it all. We were waited on promptly, food came out in a very timely fashion hot and as ordered. I've been here on several occasions and have had no bad experiences. If you want a good meal at a fair price served by friendly dedicate staff this a stop for you. read more

Hard to think of a greasy spoon as 5-Star. So think of it in category. This place always delivers. Pancakes-as large as the plate, thick n fluffy, golden brown with just the right amount of crispy edges from q really hot griddle. Yum-yum-yummy... Western omelette-chock full of fixings although I still don't know what that chopped ham really is: hum? LOL ***The best part about this place is that they give top quality service uncommon to diner joints. Great Job!*** read more

From the street, Fa-Ray's looks fairly non descriptive. The inside isn't much to look at either. The real gem though, is the food! Good home style cooking and even better prices. My mom worked there when she was a teen as a curb girl and our family has gone there as long as I can remember! Every sunday after church i would go with my grandparents and order the same thing; A foot long coney dog with onions and a side of onion rings. My grandma always got the chicken dinner and grandpa got the fried fish. The great thing about Fa-Ray's other than the food and the prices, is that it's been family owned for over 50 years! The people are friendly, and their portions are great! Like i said, don't be turned off by the "hole in the wall" looks or the old people drinking coffee in the corner complaining about gas prices and cell phones... just go and enjoy the food! You wont be sorry you did. it's like eating at Grandma's house only you have to pay with money instead of hugs! read more

Last time I was here I was about 14 years old, I am well into my 50's and I was so impressed by the decor and the service, but the food was the star of the show. Had breakfast and it was really good. Thank you for a great experience. read more

My husband and I were driving from Columbus to Akron to drop off car parts, in the middle of the COVID we here having difficulty finding a place for lunch that we could also use the restroom and outside seating because we had a small dog. I called this establishment and we were able to do all! Cindy was so helpful and the food was amazing! Thank you again for making a our first time visit so wonderful! I high recommend this friendly restaurant! Oh and they have ICECREAM..... which even made the 90 degree better! read more

Found this place while googling Lenten fish frys. All you can eat perch was all it took for me to give it a chance. The fish was light and crispy- just the way I like it. I also enjoyed the iced tea! So many places have good food and bad tea. I'll definitely be back! read more

Very questionable restaurant with frozen, reheated food, was not worth the price, and would've cost the same as Bob Evans. Cramping after eating their food is really bad and would not recommend anyone else to eat there and can stay as "Barbertowns Little Secret". read more

I stopped in today for lunch and got the jalapeno burger which was very good. The fries are some of the best I've ever had. I would recommend to anyone looking for some great food and polite service. read more

Very friendly service. Cindy was extremely attentive and courteous. Would recommend this place to anybody I know.

Great food. Exceptional service. Family feel. We've made this this our go-to place for breakfast. You won'tbe disappointed!!! read more
