I love this place! I must have walked by it so many times going to the bakery across the street and…read morenever knew what a hidden gem it was! We went when the first opened on kind of a rainy Saturday. You order at the bar and then sit anywhere you would like in the brewery. Drinks were such a good price. The flights are $10 and you can try just about anything. They had a huge selection of beers, ciders, wines. A lot of interesting flavors too so i definitely recommend getting a flight! The server was super sweet and very helpful. I will definitely be coming back here this summer!

I used to really enjoy coming here. For years we would go and do flights. It's still a good spot if…read moreyou want to sit outside and bring your dog. Unfortunately they have changed to plastic cups which I am not a huge fan of. The bar tender wasn't terribly welcoming. Which is fine, maybe she was just having an off day. But I've been there before with the same bartender and she always comes off as annoyed. Again, maybe just catching her on off days. They used to have a popcorn machine which they got rid of. You can buy packaged stuff if you'd like. There is a food truck there but I haven't tried that. The beer now is okay. Nothing to write home about. It was better a few years ago. The best is still the Goodale. Overall if you like beer flights, it is worth a stop. But it is hit or miss on service.

If I could give Ray's a sixth star, I would. Everything we ordered tasted better than we ever…read morethought we enjoyed it somewhere else. Seriously. I ordered a bowl of the Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo. It was better than what I've enjoyed at various traditional Cajun/Creole restaurants over the years. The difference? The flavors were spot on. The consistency of the soup was perfect -- not too thick, not too runny. The Beef & Cheddar Burger was a patty made from brisket and browned on both sides to a light crust and topped with cheddar cheese melted on top on a hamburger bun. I added a little of their BBQ sauce instead of my usual burger condiments. It was fantastic! I've heard Ray's is great, but I had no idea they were this great!

It was like Carmel chocolate milk. Then I ordered their mezcal margarita - my favorite. It was served in a martini glass with no ice. What!?! Will not come here for cocktails any longer - only if we want beer/wine. Very disappointing.
