Used to come to Green River a lot many years ago but it's so run down anymore and not much but a gas stop off of I-70 these days. That said, I really enjoyed Ray's. The service was prompt and friendly and the burger was spot on. If you find yourself in Green River and are hungry and thirsty, Ray's is the place to go! read more

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

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

Amazing juicy burgers, delicious tender chicken, crispy fresh fries and great coleslaw! Go eat here, 5 stars yummy! We got our meals to go due to pets in the car and they give you all the condiments you could need plus some!! Great service and fresh food! read more

We love Ray's!!! We stop here every time we go by Green River, UT. They have the very best, flame grilled, burgers we've ever had and homemade cole slaw and French fries. There's a very cool, relaxed atmosphere and a discount if you pay in cash! read more

Definitely a hole in the wall, burger spot. Love it! It's the perfect spot before getting to Moab. The menu is basically a burger, just depends on if you want cheese and/or bacon -- and you do! Good fries, friendly service, and a good burger! Fun little dive. read more

Popped in here while driving through after 10 hours on the road. Suggested by a local Walked in and were told to set ourselves anywhere, so we made our way to the back room. Greeted promptly by a friendly server who told us the menu was the board in the corner. We ordered a ribeye medium rare, side salad with ranch, and fries - to share. Salad was a classic diner salad but had beets!!! And their ranch was delish. It was exactly what I wanted. The fries are legit straight off the potato and suuuuh good. The Tibet was perfectly cooked, with an excellent char but needed a bit of seasoning. Everything was also good later that night when I snacked on it again! Def stop in if you are passing through! read more

Stopped into this little gem based on Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. In a town where most businesses have closed down Ray's Tavern is clearly thriving. Ambiance was a cozy hometown feel full of nice people. Tables were full when we arrived around 1:30pm but one cleared quickly and we grabbed it. The waitress, Celica, was right there to take drink orders, which were delivered promptly and within 10 minutes we were eating fresh, hot, delicious burgers and fries. Beef very fresh and fries fresh cut. Hubs paired his with a draft beer and life was good! Thanks to Ray and his crew for providing a 5 star experience in Green River. read more

(4.5 stars) The perfect stop for lunch on the way from Salt Lake City to Moab. I kinda love how the burger is no nonsense. They only have American cheese but it works, and the toppings are just the classics. The fries are solid too, stuffed with potato and nice with some bbq sauce. read more

Ray's Tavern - Big fat homemade fries and juicy burgers- absolutely amazing. Mouth watering perfect. - Burgers Near Me - Green River, Utah

Just what the doctor ordered ... moving to our new home in Grand Junction CO - I'm in charge of a 26' International Penske bobtail with all of our belongings behind me .. traveling south on UT28 - avoiding the snow and treacherous travel through Soldier Summit Station .. I'm looking for a place for lunch .. I've scooped out a place in Green River UT - RAY'S TAVERN .. My God ! It's a place locked back in time - but in a good way. Ray's is a place reminiscent of all the places my father took me as a boy - always cold beer & great food. Walking into Ray's is like stepping back in time - into the 50's .. a place forgotten with the advent of the Applebees & Chili's .. this my friends is 100% AMERICANA!! Burgers are are great .. will sweet talk the wife to return the 90 miles to experience the dinner menu (also when the weather turns a bit warmer) .. Ray's - I know you'll hang in there until my return .. please -- no menu change -- no remoldeling -- ok .. you can increase your prices .. but just a little bit ... read more

We're in the middle of a three-week cross-country drive, finding lodging and food as we go. Sometimes we miss, sometimes we hit. Stumbling upon Ray's was a big hit. Great food, great bar and awesome service from people who love what they're doing and take pride in their work. Highly recommend. read more

A bar that serves mostly burgers and fries. They actually have some good beer on tap too. A mix of cowboys, yokels, and entitled tourists. It would be okay to bring in a kid even if you had to. There is a patio area on the side as well. The burger was decent. Nothing particularly special with it or with the fries. Prices are high but I would chalk it up to being in a remote area. read more

Just ate a really great burger, fries and seriously divine homemade apple pie here. Driving from Capitol Reef NP to Grand Junction, this is the first and last food and gas heading East on HWY 70 after you leave the rural road from Capitol before Grand Junction. The drive into Green River from the Hwy is not very encouraging. And from the exterior Ray's looks like what it is. A locally owned bar and restaurant in a dying town off the Hwy. Until you open the doors and look inside it could go either way. The initial appearance inside is cozy and welcoming. The staff are bright and cheerful. The restroom is clean, tidy and fully functional. I believe Ray's could single handedly revive all of Green River. Oh can I say a word to the lady who made the Apple Pie : " Will you marry me please " Give Ray's a try. read more

THIEVES An inconspicuous sign states there is an 'additional' fee for credit cards. That few became an unauthorized $9 charge on a $44 tab that included a 20 % tip. Crooked through and through. Avoid at all costs. I'll be contesting the additional charge that I DID NOT AUTHORIZE. read more

One of the few restaurants here. Recommended at our hotel. Great local place. Shared a bacon cheeseburger & fries. Plenty of food and great taste. Also had apple pie a la mode. Pie was good but ice cream just ok. Nice friendly staff. read more

Great service! The burgers were very yummy and hit the spot after a long hike. The decor of the restaurant was also very fun to view.

We were dying of hunger from traveling all day so we went here because a man recommended it in the long wait line at Tamarisk down the road. I saw on these yelp reviews that someone reviewed the steaks to be tough and tasteless: boy was he right. There was no seasoning on any of their meats. I ordered the Ribeye and I just salted it a lot. My boo ordered the pork chops, sent that back, to order a burger which was tasteless as well. Who can mess up a burger? When the server took our order she asked, "What salad dressing do you want?" We said, "Italian and Blue Cheese." 15 minutes later my bf asked the server, "Can we have our dinner salads?" She was busy doing her clean up for the closing. She answered back, "Oh you have salads? You should have told me." I said, "You asked what kind of dressing we wanted." She said, "You should have come back here and made them." The good point of this place was it had the vibe we wanted for a Sunday night. We watched the football gamer at the bar so that was cool. The servers were cute but like I said, it seemed like they were more into getting out of there at closing then serving us. Last but not least, we both woke up with a queasy stomach. We're not sure if it was from this place or the pizza we ordered from the night before that we left out and ate for breakfast. Most likely it was the latter, but it could have been. read more

Had a stay over in Green River in a B&B between national parks. Fiancé and I decided to try Ray's. She had the chicken sandwich with fries and I had the burger with fries. Bother were very good and I would both order them again. Staff was friendly. read more

Glad we Yelped... otherwise never would have found this hidden gem. Great little "tavern" with old-fashioned supper club style meals. My wife had the chicken teriyaki dinner, and said it was very good. Ribeye for me, and it was also very good -- menu said it was a twelve ouncer, but had to be closer to a pound! Both had a baked potato (choice of that, fries, or cole slaw). Also came with a fairly large supper club-style iceberg salad. Service was great, and drinks, salads and entrees all came out quickly, in spite of a pretty good crowd on an early Saturday evening. Seemed like an old-fashioned Wisconsin style supper club, in a small Utah town. Sconnies, , you know that's a great compliment. read more

Food was okay, fries tasted like burn. They forgot put cheese on my garden of burger.

When you drive by, your instinct will be to keep going. DON'T!! For ambiance, it's a typical hole in the wall place but without that stale beer, mildewed towel smell. The staff is also friendly, efficient and seem like they actually like each other. We had 4 different people come by our table to check on us in an unobtrusive way - the right service at the right time. This is the kind of place where the salt, pepper, mustard and ketchup are on the table. While I was shaking the ketchup bottle to get more out (Heinz 57 so pretty typical) another bottle miraculously appeared at the table without me asking. Well done!! This team has been well-trained. As for the food, we both got cheeseburgers with fries. Yum! The burger was good (and kinda massive) but the fries were the star of the show - hand cut and delicious. I had to stop myself from eating every last one of them. The menu isn't extensive but they have a nice variety including burgers, teriyaki chicken and filets. Bring cash if you have it - each item costs a tiny bit more if you use your card. The beer options were also good. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with this place. Too bad it's in the middle of nowhere or we'd visit more often. read more

Coming back from Lake Powell to Denver with a crew of *18* people... surprised Ray & his staff by walking-in and ordering a mid-afternoon lunch. They nailed it with nary an eye-roll: great food, great service. Skip the mediocre gas-station grub & grab a burger + an on-tap beer from Wasatch Brewery and you won't be disappointed. Trust me on this :) read more

Rays Tavern is my favorite spot in Utah, I was first introduced to Rays by my old man about 10 years ago.

Rays Tavern gets my absolute highest of recommendations. read more

For a small town bar the food was good and the quality and quantity were exceptional. It wasn't a fancy place or building but if in town worth a try. read more

I was driving home from Moab and needed to eat some dinner and my friend said this was a great place to stop. It's nice that it has a bar you can sit at or open seating throughout the restaurant. The menu is written on a whiteboard above the bar seating and is simple with burgers and a few other sandwiches to choose from. We ordered a cheeseburger and extra side of fries to split. The meal was spot on, especially after a long weekend of mountain biking. I would take some extra time to stop in again and have lunch or dinner there anytime! read more

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

Spending 1 night in Green River driving from Denver back to Reno. I ate at Rays many years ago, so I knew it was one of the only places to eat in town. Walked in and a Man told us to sit anywhere. I nice young Hispanic lady came over and gave us water, and told us menu was on wall, she was very pleasant. We decided what we wanted. Then another young server came to take our order, and she was not very pleasant, seemed angry or something... who knows. I ordered a side salad, and burger/fries, the BF ordered teriyaki Chix. Salads were good, burger/fries/teriyaki Chix all decent food. I'm glad Rays is there in Green River and seems to be thriving. Took a walk at closed down buildings on that street, kinda sad, time has passed them by. read more
