Awesome beer selection, amazing food, good vibe. Highly recommend this place. It's very clean and well maintained as well

This is such a nostalgic, amazing place.In kent, the food is reasonably priced.But tastes like a five star gourmet dinner.It's a large place, and parking can sometimes be hard to spot

I'm almost 40 and have traveled across the country. Rays has THE BEST burger meat I have ever come across. If you're reading this and can tell me where a better tasting, blue cow burger is, I want to know! I crave these burgers. I think about that burger probably once a day.... Usually around lunch.... And am always dissatisfied I didn't have a blue cow with the works....with some sun stix...... And a small blue moon.... for less than 30 bucks?! They could charge 60$ and I'll still pay for it.... Not saying they should do that, but they could! Sunday can't come fast enough!!! It's a staple for this family.

Came in for a beer. Excellent beer selection. Everything was fresh. Highly recommend for a craft beer.

We were in town for a concert and decided to stop by Ray's for a late lunch/early dinner. Ray's is a super casual townie bar. Service was quick and friendly. They offer a good variety of local beer options as well as old standards. My husband ordered the cheeseburger and onions rings. They were great, he said the burger tasted fresh off the bbq! I ordered the poutine fries - the serving is more than enough to share with a group and oh was it good. The meat was smoky and delicious and the fries were crisp- so good. We would definitely recommend Ray's and return if we're in town!

I love Ray's burgers. They have a lot of add on options and it's always cooked to perfection. That is all I get from Ray's. I've tried other dishes a was disappointed so I stick with what they do well. I do wish they would do carry outs but they don't.

This was a great find! Andrew was an excellent waiter - very quick and polite and attentive. Other employees checked in on us too. Beverages refilled quickly. My husband loved the spicy shrimp, said it had a great flavor and the bread with it was really good. The fries were just ok. The burger and fish were good. Bathroom very clean. Parking on the street was free on Sunday. We liked the ambience. Cute area of town.

Good bar food Loud atmosphere but friendly always busy worth the wait for a casual dinner experience

I love this pub. Good food, friendly bartenders and a great beer selection. They always have a large number of tap handles with a good mix of beer. Drink specials are posted and we saw many head out during our stay at the bar. We split an order of smoked wings with a dry Jamaican jerk seasoning. Perfectly cooked: crunchy yet soft chicken inside. Definitely would order again. New is that the street in front has been blocked off so there's plenty of places to sit outside with your drinks. Nice! A good alternative to the regular indoor seating.

Drove the family to Kent to pick up my daughter for family dinner night. We hadn't had a family night out in a while, so I decided to make the trip. Upon arrival, Ray's was packed, but we waited 15 minutes and were seated. Our waitress was fast and friendly. Our drink orders were taken and drinks were delivered quickly. For dinner, I went with something I've never had before at any restaurant - a meatloaf sammich. I also requested a 1/2 southwest salad. My son requested a pulled pork sammich and fries, my daughter requested chicken wings, and my wife, a cubano pita. We watched some NCAA tournament games while we waited for our food, which was delivered in a reasonable amount of time, considering how busy the restaurant was. My southwest salad was tasty. My meatloaf sammich was very good. It had a good flavor and texture, and was served on toasted bread. I'd order it again. We were pleased with our meal and it wasn't very expensive. Next time we're in the area, we'll stop by again. Oh, and it wasn't full of college kids, even though it's right next to Kent State. It was full of local patrons.
