I strolled into this place passing through town based on a good recommendation from hotel front desk lady with one tooth (Just kidding, she didn't have one tooth.) It was a cold Tuesday night and they were just about to close up; but I still received awesome service, a smile and great chicken sandwich. The bartender/owner/ was kind of Daisy Duke cool. Lots of cool motoX and rafting/paddling decor - I'll stop in again stay longer next time. read more

Just ok. We had take out. They didn't include a bag to put everything in; the napkins and utensils were actually in the containers with the food so the napkins were dirty even before we got to use them. Menu is very limited and phone personnel are not that friendly. read more

The most unlikely fine in Greenriver. The food was delicious the service was great we had hamburgers and apple pie with ice cream is well worth the stop anytime will be back. read more

Really enjoyed Ray's Tavern. We came here for dinner since dining options were somewhat limited on Easter Sunday evening. Ordered the bacon cheeseburger and teriyaki chicken dinner. Both were simple and great- just as expected. "Place for everyone" is true. Though it might look intimidating from the outside, this place and the staff is super friendly, as are the locals. Really neat experience. Serves local craft beers as well. read more

Great little spot for a great burger and fries. Pair that will a cold draft beer and lunch is a hit.

I didn't give it 5 stars because the people who work here aren't very personable. The Burgers were delicious and big! The have a kids menu but you just have to ask for it. read more

Good burgers. Clean. Comfortable. Didn't try the subway or arbys attached to the truckstop....

We stopped at this cute little roadside diner. We were treated very rudely by our waitress. She handed us the menus as said "hurry up there is a party of 50 on their way and I need to get your order in or your going to wait a long time for your food. I ordered the Ribeye steak. It came with a nice dinner salad and a perfectly cooked baked potato. The steak was not seasoned at all but was cooked just as I ordered it. Maybe it was an off night but we did not feel welcome read more

I really wanted to like the food at Ray's, honestly. I grew up in Price, which is an hour from Green River, and had only heard great things about Ray's Tavern for years. This summer my husband and I went rafting on the Green River with a group of friends and by the time we were finished, we were all famished. I was so excited to finally try the restaurant that I'd heard people constantly rave about. While the tavern had a very friendly, albeit dive-y atmosphere, I was incredibly underwhelmed and disappointed by the food. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, which was large in size, but definitely not in flavor. There was nothing special about it. The one redeeming quality about the meal was that there was plenty of fry sauce for the large side of fries that accompanied my burger. A member of our group who ordered the barbecue chicken sandwich (I think?) also had little positive to say about their food. Bland. But, who knows? Maybe our visit was just a fluke. I sure hope so. read more

Drove through Green River and drove by this place on the way to the hotel. After settling in we decided to give Ray's a try. Very cool little place, good selection of micro brews, the burger was delicious, and the fresh cut fries were great. If you are driving through Green River stop at Ray's for a burger and a beer. read more

Burgers are overpriced and overrated. Fake cheese. Minimum ingredients on a decent patty.

Best cheeseburgers in Utah! Hand cut fries. Don't miss Rays if you're anywhere near Green River. If you're in a hurry, call ahead and they'll have it ready for you! Great service and clean restrooms to boot. read more

An institution, although undoubtedly tamer under more recent ownership. Sit at the bar, get a cheeseburger, fries and a beer or two and check out some of the classic rafting t-shirts from days past when Rays was a boaters paradise. Great food, cool vibe. read more

I've been to some great steakhouses, but I had some of the best porterhouse steaks of my life at Ray's tavern. One night I had my 22oz porterhouse steak and half a of friends 12oz Ribeye. They are that good. Fresh medium-rare country raised beef steaks. Ray's is a great place to eat after a day of hiking or rafting. read more

We stopped on Monday evening around 7 and it looked like the place was packed, but there were seats at a table and the kind folks there invited us to sit. There were several families seated at tables, kid friendly place also. We each had a burger and salad (low carb-no bun or fries) and it was excellent. The other food being delivered looked amazing. We are hoping to return on our way passing back through! Highly recommend! read more

I was introduced to Ray's by a friend who is native to Green River. Since then, I have been hooked. Now it is literally impossible for me to come anywhere near Green River and not go to Ray's. I always end up getting the same thing- Bacon Cheeseburger with hand cut fries. Seriously, so good. Staff is super friendly. Local brews on tap. You're missing out if you don't try it. read more

The burger and apple pie! I showed up 5 min before close they kept it open and it was awesome. 5 stars!

I had one of the best cheeseburgers I had ever eaten at Ray's, and the fries are great too! Service was fast, but not super friendly. If it weren't for that I would give five stars. If you're just driving through or near Green River and love a good burger, check it out! read more

The place looks cool and funky from the outside, but when you step in it's not. The atmosphere looks like a cafeteria with some log furniture scatter around. Any Tavern I've ever been to serves booze!!! Not Ray's, just water downed Utah skunk piss 3.2 beer. The burger was some thin patty beef contraption with slice of crappy cheese on it. Soggy iceberg lettuce, a couple of pickle crumbs for garnish. Fries were okay but nothing special. Go to the Mexi place just down the street, much better. read more

Every time I pass through Green River, I have to stop and eat at Ray's. The burgers are wonderful and the service is quick and friendly. I wish that I were in the area more often because twice a year isn't enough. read more

If for some godforsaken reason, you happen to end up in Green River, Utah, then you might as well go to Ray's Tavern. As has been mentioned before, it is a little pricey for what it is (over $8 for a cheeseburger), but it's good, solid bar food. The beer is only OK, but it's Utah, so what do you expect?

Ray's Tavern at Green River Utah is the best example of how a business can thrive in a town on its knees. These guys show how it should be done. I would go back to Green River for no reason other than the food experience. The town itself looks close to death, but a diversion off 70 to Ray's is something every I/S 70 traveller should shout themselves. They do such a great job they benefit themselves, their patrons, and as importantly, their town. Ray's Tavern has an offering you will drive thousands of miles to match. The chicken teriyaki was the best I've eaten in my life - I'm 61 and have travelled the world since I was 28. I am interested in nothing in any eatery other than cleanliness and taste. Ray's is also rich in the kind of back woods charm ('atmosphere') most seeking an original experience will thoroughly enjoy. By the way, my wife had the pork chop which was also exceptional. Ray's deserves to be on any 'bucket list' of those who love 'taste'. read more

No trip through Green River is complete without a stop at Ray's. Great burgers, great staff, and awesome river memorabilia on the walls. There's a reason people have been coming here for years. read more

Had pork chop and fries, wife had teriyaki chicken. Both were perfectly cooked and prepared. The French fries are hand cut with peel and we're also cooked perfectly. An extraordinary meal! Don't visit green river without eating here! read more

Love Ray's! Claire and Kitty were great and the food is delicious! Don't forget to enjoy a cold Coors Light! read more

Ray's Tavern - Burgers Near Me - Green River, Utah

I'd hire that cook any day, they know burgers, not much more to say...they get extra credit. And the place is a gem with quick courteous staff...whoever manages, manages well. Please get healthier cheese and bun options...please. You deserve to be five stars. read more

OMG! Less than 50 miles out of Moab Arches National Park in the devastatingly bleak town of Green River is an oasis called Rays. A perfect 10 oz NY Strip steak and baked potato just like grandmas house. Perfect burgers, hand cut fries, and beers with names like Evolution Ale or Polygamy Porter (tag line "why have just one?") By Wasatch Brewery say it all. Save room for homemade apple pie A LA MODE! read more

Bacon cheeseburger is the jam! Only place to get draft beer in town. Everything is good, but a little pricey. It's a classic place and a must for Green River. read more

When we want the best burger in a great tavern atmosphere - we drive the 100 miles to Rays, and it's worth every mile. We enjoy their great service, the friendly atmosphere, their selection of micro brews and tremendous burgers. We have recommended Ray's to family and friends for many years, and have not have one person disappointed to this date. It's not fancy or formal, but it's a great place to enjoy good food after a long drive, hiking the Maze, enjoying the Crystal Geyser or Goblin Valley. read more

Best burger anywhere -hands down! Add a pint of IPA. And the handcut delicious fries -all prepared right in front of you. You might be too full for the homemade ice cream across the street -but go anyway. Best decision you'll make in Utah -except going left on Joe Hutch Rapid. read more

We stopped by in light of the Yelp reviews and we're pleasantly surprised. Busy, in fact - packed! Friendly mix of locals and a visiting school volleyball team. The food was excellent, nicely augmented by following some conversations at nearby tables. If we are ever passing through Green River again, we'll definitely drop in. read more

Not many places to eat in Green River but this little hole in the wall was really good and worth stopping for. The burgers were huge, there's no kids menu so if we ever pass through again we will have our kids share one since both kids left just under half on their plates. The teriyaki chicken burger was good and the fries were hand it steal fries. read more

I dad the bacon cheeseburger with hand cut fries. Amongst the best burgers I ever had. Cooked perfectly and the fries were great. Service was wonderful and the food came out hot and on time. When you are in Green River you really need to try this place. read more

This place is awesome HUGE Burgers at great prices... They will cook them how every you would like... special request no problem... The wait staff is why I keep coming back. I go their every couple of months when I pass threw... Every time i go in im meet with "Hi Dave!! Burger this time or something new?" It doesn,t matter who the wait staff is the all seem to know me or they just call everyone Dave.... But i'll keep coming back for that service. read more

Just ate dinner at Ray's and based on the reviews should have gone with the burger. Instead we tried the pork chops. The salad was good but the pork chops and the baked potato were dry and flavorless. As we were leaving some one had burgers delivered and they smelled amazing. Based on that I would recommend the burgers. read more

Ray's Tavern is fine. It seems like a literal right of passage for anyone coming through the area. In order to get to the area east or west of this place, you have to stop, have a beer, and shovel down an enormous burger. It was packed for a Thursday at 1 PM. But from what I gathered, it's an outdoorsy type of place, so a lot of people take off work and are in the area to kayak, or trail run, or any of that other outdoor garbage hippies are doing nowadays. Me? I was there for the beer, which they had, and I was grateful for. The burger was filling, and satisfied my needs. For the area, I see why it's popular. But if you were to take this place and put it in any area that had other restaurant options, I don't know if anyone would be freaking out about it. It's totally fine, just not anything great that I haven't had anywhere else. That's not to say don't come here. Where else are you going to get a beer or two before hopping back on the road? read more

We called in for lunch here after finding it on yelp. What a Great little place. Cheeseburgers wete amazing. Home cooked fries. No waiting either. Clean and friendly read more

Love Ray's teriyaki chicken salad. Yum. And the homemade apple pie a la mode is delicious. Kind of noisy at times, but it's the real deal. Ask Kitty the waitress where she gets her hair done and watch her smile. After that, ask her if everyone who works there is related. read more

I have been to Rays 5 or 6 times in the past. It is usually good, not great. It's customer base is heavily boosted by hungry river runners taking off the Green River. My wife and I gave it another try today and it was the worst overpriced burger I have ever attempted eating. It took 40 minutes to get 2 burgers and fries. The fries were not very good being greasy and bland. The burger was burnt and the bun was dry. The patty was hard to swallow being so dry. It took so long for this awful burger it made me question why I would spend 20 bucks for 2 . Should have gone for chain fast food. read more

Still the best burgers ever and the fries are to die for. Love the river tee shirt collection.
