Great place to go for dinner. The service was amazing, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We came in craving beef, and they absolutely delivered--it was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The salad was fresh and a great addition to the meal as well. I also loved the overall aesthetic of the tavern--it had such a warm, inviting vibe that made the whole experience even better. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Pull into Ray's Drive-In, where the rustic Western grit hangs thick as the dust on a pickup tailgate, neon glowin' steady but beggin' for a jukebox to crank up the twang they sure as hell should add one. This here's a Neighborhood joint welcoming all. The place has notified movie-set bones, staff slingin' grins quick as a boot scoot, no BS. That kick arse bacon cheeseburger lands like a low steel guitar riff--"mmm-mmmm, that is one tasty burger", Jules Winnifield / Samuel L. style. Dub it the "Big Honcho"; it'll own the range in this eastern Utah hardpan. Dip fries in Ray's Sauce for that sneaky kick. Karens and chip-hoarders, hit the brakes elsewhere--this ain't Applebee's sheen or Chili's plastic. Raw Americana, Martha Stewart'd grit her teeth and polish, Betty White'd cackle through seconds. Lewis Grizzard? He'd park the truck, nod at the mountains like old Georgia pines, and call it home over a double. That was one Tasty Burger! Thank you! read more

This is the best burger I've had in all of Utah. Beer was cold and refreshing on an 80-degree day. The hand cut fries could have been cut out back. The staff were friendly and treated us like we were the only ones here. The decor was one of a kind. Even Harvard crowds come here. read more

We always stop at Ray's in Green River on the way further east. Best damn burger and fries in a 300 mile radius. The half pound burger is cooked to perfection whether you want it well done or, medium or rare. The fries are awesome as well. The beer selection is good and ice cold. The wait staff is top notch and very friendly. Highly recommended stopping at Ray's Tavern when you're in the Green River Utah area. read more

Do not recommend this place. When you walk in you instantly get wafted with an awful smell. We decided to give it a shot because it had good reviews but the struggle was real with the smell. The food was plenty but was bland. No seasoning no salt. Im pretty sure the burger was a premade patty they bought from the store. Staff were not friendly. It's such a small town that they know who the locals are and know you are not from there which makes it seem very unwelcoming. DO NOT order a grilled cheese unless you want to pay $55 and a PB&J was $75. Overall just keep traveling through this town. read more

My husband and I were returning from visiting friends and family out west. We had to stop driving due to needing to rest. The hotel guy told us that Ray's had the best food in town and away we went. The Tavern reminds you of something out of a cowboy movie. Very nostalgic. I ordered two pork chops with a baked and salad. My husband order a steak. Whoever cooked our food, cooks like some million-dollar chef at a fancy restaurant. We are in our 60's and we both agreed that my pork chops were some of the best that we have ever eaten. My husband said that his steak was the best that he had ever had! So much food. I took almost a whole meal back to the hotel. The best porkchops and steak! Very casual. We will be back the next time we go to Idaho and travel down to Utah. read more

Passing thru while traveling. Was told this is a great place for lunch. First impression is an old run down bar. Don't let this scare you away. Inside we were greeted openly by our server. Pretty much a bar with all the 60's looking trimmings. Menu on the wall. Lunch is just Burgers. Dinner menu is a little more diverse. So we had burgers. I had the bacon cheese burger. What a great burger. Others in group had other burgers and lived them. You get home cut fries or coleslaw for a side. Place was busy with everyone eating burgers. Nothing fancy, but clean and great service. Recommend to all. Great find! read more

Good food. Good service. It is a tavern so you may hear the fbomb being dropped. When we were there it was every other sentence. But after all we were in his habitat. Really good ranch dressing. Fries were yummy and fresh. I had the pork chop, it was thicker than I expected. Very good with perfect criss cross grill marks. Husband had the bacon cheese burger and said it was really good. read more

This was the most delicious Cheeseburger we've had in a very long time. It was juicy and perfectly cooked. We ordered for takeout and it was ready in 15 min. The service was top notch!! read more

This place is a solid 3 stars. Service was meh. I think it's because I had 3 kids with me and Utah is weird about that for some reason. The steak was cooked perfectly but not seasoned at all. This place is a bar that serves food so I didn't expect much but the steak being seasoned would have been great. read more

The owners and waitress were not accommodating to my service dog! I have never been treated so poorly at a restaurant in my life!

Very good salad, fries and cheeseburger! Would recommend to someone who likes good food.

Green River, Utah Not too many places to choose from in town of 900 people. It was either this or another restaurant. I wanted a good draft beer so I came to this local hangout. They have about 10 draft beers. Glasses are chilled and it makes for a refreshing taste on a warm day. They have Squatters craft beers. I went with the dark and was not disappointed. Very smooth. I have posted the menu, which is simple. Every table in here has ordered a burger. I chose a grilled chicken sandwich. My companion chose a cheeseburger. The food comes quickly, and hot off the grill. My chicken breast was filleted and was very large. Actually went over the bun. I cut the chicken in half and doubled up to make it fit on my bun. It is accompanied with chopped lettuce, a few dill, pickles, tomato, and a very large slice of onion. All of this comes on the side without request. The french fries are fresh cut potatoes. They seemed greasy and not fully cut. They were limp, but still tasted fine. The 1/2 pound burger was decent size and tasted good. It too was cooked over the grill. And served hot. They bring a chilled bottle of fry sauce to the table. It is delicious. My guess is that it's just mayonnaise and ketchup, but the consistency is perfect. Although the place is a bar, it is quiet and the noise is controlled for a Tuesday evening. read more

This place is the "real deal" offering great friendly service in a lively atmosphere that is clearly a prime source of energy for an otherwise small town. We were a bit tired from another day on our road trip, so we opted to pick up food to take back to our hotel. We stopped in and placed our order, then hung out at the bar to watch the entertainment of a lively group of locals and tourists having fun, and a good number of workers hustling to keep everyone well taken care of. The casual and fun environment actually made me wish we were dining in rather than getting our food to go! The service was top-notch, with nobody slacking off even the tiniest bit. They are clearly focused on making sure customers don't have to wait for anything, even when things get super busy. The food was perfectly fine, though certainly nothing to write home about. But to me the fun atmosphere and great service more than make up for basic food. It felt like being at a backyard barbecue, but with the benefit of a roof and air conditioning, and with amazing service keeping up with everything. I would most certainly stop in again if I were passing through town again. I wouldn't even bother trying to find anywhere with better food, because this place was really the "real deal". read more

Ray's doesn't look like much from the outside, but that why you go inside. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries, not realizing it's a half pound of ground beef! Staggered out of there feeling like the anaconda that swallowed a pig. Absolutely delicious, though. Small town cafes/diners/bars are the best! read more

Great burger and fries! The only reason I gave it a 4 was they forgot the bacon on the burger.

Ray's Tavern is badass! Thursday night and the joint is hopping. Couples roll up in pickum up trucks, SUV's and a few vintage cars. No need to dress up, come as you are. Ray's Tavern is casual and comfortable. Burgers take the lead but they also offer steaks, chicken and even salad. Service is fantastic, fast and with outstanding attitude. Why only 4 stars for this badass establishment? The fries are limp. Yes limp, undercooked! Crunch the fries up and receive 5 stars. Will we be back? Without a doubt! It did take me 63 years to get to Green River but knowing Ray's Tavern anchors this part of the country, we will be back. See you soon Ray. But please, practice getting the fries crispy. read more

literally amazing. super friendly people, and it's tone is just welcoming, immediate smiles when you walk in. And oh don't get me started on the food. It's literally the best fries, fresh cut, and very very very good. I'd drive five hours to this restaurant (which we already did.) and the burgers make your whole literally day. Please try this place out!! read more

Nothing to write home about... good size burger, over cooked (well done, asked for medium) fresh cut potatoes, but the oil they cooked them in was old. Fries color due to old oil and they taste like it. Left almost all the fries and half the burger. Unusual that the staff could care less why I left all that food... so I would suggest you keep looking for a better place to eat. read more

There aren't a lot of choices in this town, which was the closest stop for us on our way to Goblin Valley this past weekend. We did a few drive-bys and settled on Ray's. I'm glad we did. One of the better bar burgers I've had and the fries were excellent. Service was very good and the people were friendly without being over the top. The atmosphere and vibe are genuine. It's an old place and authentic. The other diners made it a nice crowd. We'd stop here again. read more

Good old burger and fries. Reminded me of the old burgers we used to get. Homemade fries, not extra crisp, needed some salt, but also delicious. I think it's great tavern foods and atmosphere. read more

Stopped there during a trip as we saw some reviews on yelp stating it's a must stop place. Food was not worth the detour. We ordered cheese burgers and fries. Fries were covered in grease and only partially cooked, the cheese burger was ok. Service not very friendly. Place is old timey cute but could use some TLC. read more

The building looks small, but inside, this 1941 structure is good size. Walked in on Thursday around six and was greeted with gusto. Sat at the bar. About 10 customers. Ordered a draft and cheeseburger and fries. Then the crowds arrived and as packed very soon. Food was delicious and this place is spotless. Very surprising!!! This place is wonderful. read more

We were traveling through Utah & needed a lunch stop- my other half, back home, did the research & found this tavern with great reviews & people reaching about the apple pie. Say no more- we popped off i70 for a bite. I ordered the chicken teriyaki- which came with hand cut fries & a side salad. Chicken was cooked perfectly, loved that they threw beets on the side salad (my son gave me his- score). Robert ordered a steak & Eddie got a bacon-cheeseburger. Service was great, definitely a local spot, I could tell by the table of state troopers enjoying their food. The food hit the spot & was a good break from a long day driving. Apple pie was out- boo, I really wanted that & hubby kept messaging me- get the pie. Lol. I would've if I could've. read more

Friends have mentioned this burger joint a couple times to me and I live in Colorado. So on my way back from filming, I stopped to get some lunch. I walked in and immediately saw that there was booths, tables, and a bar seating area. I sat down at the bar and was quickly attended to. I went with a classic order: Cheeseburger with fries. Food came out in a reasonable time with a classic presentation. The lettuce, pickles, and onions on the side and the burger ready to be made to my liking. I wasn't ask how I like my burger cooked but I was happy to see a slight hint of pink in that meat. I chomped it down, ate my fries, slurped my Coke down and got back on the road. Definitely a good burger and with all due respect, in the middle of Utah, this is a darn luxury compared to some gas station food. read more

I heard about Rays on a "best burgers in Utah" list. And knew I had to try it! In my experience, taverns always have phenomenal food. Upon entering rays, your met with the classic tavern feel. You know it's gonna be good. A bartender came over to wait on us and take our order. We ordered the classic burger a fries. The burger was huge, juicy and just plain amazing. The fries are hand cut and the beer is ice cold. It was a wonderful experience. They also have an outdoor seating area. And seems like there would be plenty of parking on the road. We came at 4pm so not a lot of people yet. I'm sure the place gets packed. Rays is a gem in green river!!!!! read more

The term 'Steak Joint' comes to mind as Ray's is a loud bar & grill that happens to serve up excellent food. I guess it's located in 'beef county' which allows them access to good cuts and they clearly have the preparation down pretty good. Our steaks were excellent and the service was friendly. My only complaint is that coming from California Wine County, the limited selection of (only) house wine was a bit disappointing although not terrible. We'll clearly eat at Ray's next time we're in town. read more
