Simple and you get what you order. Classic burger and dogs which are surprisingly hard to come by for some reason. Sort of pricey for what it is read more

This is a classic old school Maine burger spot. I recommend the onion rings and the "Big One" a double cheeseburger. I just wish they had their 1950's prices... read more

Last week I stopped in for a hotdog.Prices have gone up quality seems to be less than before.This was my second visit. I had a lobster roll probably 15 years ago. It was horrible. No need to stop in to Rapid rays again. read more

We intended on making dinner at home the other night, but a small kitchen accident made us pretty late. So a quick stop at Rapid Ray's was in order. Ray's is a Saco institution and has been around in a couple incarnations for decades. I made a quick run inside to order and watched while the helpful crew made our order fresh to our order. While the inside isn't fancy, it's clean and there is plenty of standing room. If you're looking for a quick, basic diner-style burger, check out Rapid Ray's! read more

I have been to rapid rays many times they have excellent hot dogs, always fresh and very instant service. Would definitely recommend.

Certainly was rapid. Was pretty expensive for what it was. And not that good to be honest. Great vibe though. Staff were very nice

No frills counter service, lowest price you'll pay for a lobster roll without becoming a lobsterman. And the roll was pretty dang legit, too, for $15. Quick, efficient service and I picked up a very unique Rapid Ray tee as a keepsake. Definitely a IYKYK kinda place. If you're looking for a sit down meal, look elsewhere. read more

The family wanted burgers and fries, where else but Rapid Rays. Great food and service always beyond excellent. You get your food very quick and very tasty. We always love to get Rapid Rays. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

GREAT food for a fair price. There are up tables, food is for takeout. We always stop in for a quick bite when we're in town.

We saw this place on Yelp and decided to give this local place a try. The prices and reviews from locals really stood out to me. First impression, it is not a dine in, which is totally fine. It was quick from ordering to recieving the food. The only issue we had was that the lobster roll should really come with a warning on how small it is. (TWSS). My husband finished his in two bites. The crabcake was all right but super crispy. I would recommend anyone looking to order a lobster roll to at least order two, or three depending on how your appetite is. Also, the clamcake burger is literally the clam cake with a bun. My daughter and I had the "Big One" and it was really good. The fries were BOMB and perfectly crispy. I loved the packages of ketchup prefilled and ready for the customer to grab as many as they need. All in all, give this place a try! read more

Great little gem to get good quick food. The staff was very friendly. The poutine was good, and it was quick. This is just a takeout place, but I found a street bench to sit outside the restaurant to eat at. read more

Great spot to grab a quick dinner. The prices are right and the staff is always quick and kind. We love the history of this place and the old time vibe. We love stopping at Rapid Rays whenever we're in Saco! The cheeseburgers & fries is my go to. read more

Great easy burger place, basic but doesn't need anything, service is always nice. The inside reminds me of the 70s.

Always a great spot to stop late night to get a snack. The burgers are a perfect ending to a night out. Don't forget to order onion rings also! read more

it just has such great cooking you really cant go wrong, and its super easy to order, its also not to expensive at all. great people as well. read more

Maybe it's the retro vibe or maybe even the name, but the food here just tastes a perfect summer night, even in winter. I imagine the burgers are what McDonald's mights tasted like before they were a chain. Fries are perfect as is, but the poutine is a game changer. Scratches the burger craving and the fried side craving perfectly. read more

Friends who recently moved to the area took my husband to Rapid Ray's last weekend to pickup dinner. The burgers were SO GOOD as were the fries and onion rings. Can't say I have been inside but he said it was a fun atmosphere! read more

We got the Lobster roll and Poutine. Both were good. For the poutine it's the first time we have had it so we have nothing to compare it to. But you can't go wrong with French fries gravy and cheese curds. We are trying lobster rolls from different locations and we just left a place that charged 30 bucks for the same size lobster roll. Anyway Rapid rays was only 14 plus it was sooooo much better! We didn't think we would like a cold lobster roll but boy was it wonder. I went home thinking I was going to come back and get four. The service was definitely fast. read more

Food was inexpensive and fast. Better then MD or BK Was a little unflavored, not sure if I would eat there again if in the area, but I might. I'll try food twice to be sure it wasn't just an off day read more

Good burgers and fries. Support from business. Need 85 characters yoooooooooooooooo

Perfect little pick up restaurant! Where else are you going to find hot dogs for $2?! The Lobster Rolls are $9! I loved the Chili and cheese hot dogs and clambake burgers! They are super fast and perfect for this pandemic! We LOVE this place and happy to support them. Their food, service and atmosphere are superb! You can also walk down past the bridge and finish your meal right on the pier! Love this place in Saco! read more

Rapid Rays is one of those places that you go to rarely but whenever you do - you fully appreciate it! This is a great place to stop by if you've forgotten to make dinner or are coming home from a "dinner" that wasn't very good or filling. Their food is a nostalgic throw back to "simpler times", but is fresh and delicious! I consistently love their onion rings and that they have chocolate milk a la middle school!! Note that there is no seating - you eat standing up by the windows or in your car. Don't worry, its so delicious that none of it will be left by the time you arrive at your next destination! ;) read more

I am SO glad they now have POUTINE. I have always had a cheeseburger from here & fries, but POUTINE!!! I had to stop when I found out they now were serving this. It was the perfect combination of gravy and cheese curds. Don't forget to try it out next time you stop for a burger or hot dog! read more

Friendliest service I've ever encountered! We went twice during our recent vacation-and both times we were greeted in such a warm welcoming manner! Hot dog was delicious! The roll was steamed and perfectly squishy. All the fixins-delicious!! French fries were delicious! Hot and crispy-shoestrings. 2nd time we each had burgers and poutine. The Patties are very thin-but I actually kind of prefer that. The roll was super fresh and soft. The poutine was great! Would be great if they had some picnic tables instead of just benches-it looks like they'd have plenty of room for at least 3 or more. That's my only critique. Place looks super clean too!! read more

These burgers are to die for. These guys are expedient & got it down! They aren't messing around. I love the putini, if you're not familiar this is French Fries with gravy & cheese! Yummy! Not fattening at all. Haha!! R.R.'S is wicked good stuff!! I have to say best burgers hands down. I always loved those late night burger trucks at the beaches after a night out. There's none in my area so moving on. I have to go to Rapid Ray's soon. It has been months. They've been in business a number of years. When I hooked a friend up with a ride it all came back to me. The area had changed but Rapid Ray's remained. It's a nice little shopping district. It was 98° the last time I went. I despise the heat but Rapid Ray's is fast & furious so i dealt with this insidious heat. They will have your food to you in no time. They don't have any competitors because honestly they are not as great as Rapid Ray's! I went to Another restaurant that has multiple locations. It looked as though my burger fell on the floor & the "3 second rule" was applied, GROSS!. If you've been in Service you know what I'm talking about. So in ending my review of Rapid Ray's these guys do make the best burgers in New England "cha ching ling ding dong"!! The BEST! Here's to RAPID RAY'S & THE BEST BURGERS AROUND. by wikidboody! read more

Great food at a great price! Amazing service! Love the set up and the flow of things. Will ALWAYS recommend rapid rays! Love bringing my out of town friends to try! read more

It's unlikely a visit to Rapid Ray's will give your life new meaning or expand your food palate to places previously unknown. However it's quite likely you can leave satisfied knowing that for under 10 dollars you can kickback, rewind life a few years, get a burger, some onion rings, and a chocolate milk, all while supporting a Maine institution and a family business. The "big one" is the way to go, loaded as you like. Some good onion rings, and how can Oakhurst chocolate ever be bad? It doesn't get much more American then Rapid Rays. read more

Rapid Ray's - Burgers Near Me - Saco, Maine

From the outside this looks like a classic 50s diner or something. The menu is short and sweet, the prices are very low. Feels like it belongs at the fairgrounds or on a beach boardwalk. Everything we tried was absolutely wonderful: hot dogs, clam cake burger, fries, onion rings. Update from 20 minutes later: oh man, I ate too much read more

I've driven by Rapid Ray's for almost 2 years now and always have wanted to check it out. I called ahead to see if I could place an order over the phone for pickup, but they are not doing call-in orders currently which is no problem. I drove on over and when I walked up to the counter, I was greeted by friendly employees behind the counter. A+ for customer service for sure! I placed an order for fries, onion rings, a "big one" fully loaded, and and a hamburger fully loaded. The order total came to about $18 and took only about 5 minutes to be prepared. During this time, I was able to see the kitchen and noticed that all of the toppings for the burgers looked so fresh. Once my order was up, I raced home eager to try my haul. The burgers were delicious- fresh, cooked, and seasoned well. Of note, the relish used on the burgers is sweet relish. The onion rings... oh my were they good!!! When I tried the fries, I was sorely disappointed... they were severely under-seasoned. In thinking about my overall review, the only critique I have are the fries. The service was quick and friendly, and the rest of our food was spot-on. My partner and I actually did some math and realized that a comparable meal at McDonalds would be similarly priced AND would be without all of the other benefits of Rapid Ray's (#1 = supporting local!). So next time you're craving a good burger, I'd highly recommend trying out this awesome spot. read more

This place simply doesn't have enough 5 star reviews... period. Good people, good service, great food. Need anything else? Didn't think so.

Quick old time lunch counter. Simple burger and Fries in less than 5 minutes. Try the onion rings!

Hotdogs are the best, especially steamed with a bun that wraps itself around the dog. Well, Rapid Rays certainly does it right when it comes to the All American Hotdog. The restaurant is located on Main Street in the heart of Saco, Maine. As my cousin remembers it, the establishment began when original owner, Ray Camire sold hotdogs and hamburgers right out of the back of a truck and his claim to fame was making them fast, thus the name "Rapid". As the late night crowds grew, so did the business, until a building was built. Along with a perfect hotdog, Rapid Rays offers hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, French fries, onion rings and a few seafood options like clam cakes and lobster rolls. You can get your dog with cheese or chili and loaded with mustard, relish and onions, which is just the way I like mine. I say load it up! Prices are very reasonable and service is fast. I am sure that the next time I visit, I will purchase the Poutine which is French fries loaded with gravy and cheese curds. So, if you are in the mood for a dog or burger quick and are in the Saco area, I would highly recommend stopping by Rapid Rays. Please if you do, let me know how your experience went and if you ordered the Poutine, clue me in as to how it tastes. read more

A Southern Maine classic!! Since 1953 Rapid Rays has made the "Big One" with fries onion rings and more. Although a simple burger, it has great flavor! Crispy bun on every burger. They have a poutine option that tastes great. Fast service. Definitely recommend adding this to your burger tour in maine. read more

It's fine, I suppose. Nothing really remarkable flavor-wise. No frills is an understatement.

Was a good meal, it has the feel of that "old school 50's vibe" which I live the feeling of. I like the onion rings a lot. The fries are a pretty standard fries and the burgers are a notch above a McDonald's burger. Very clean restaurant and nice staff. read more

Love this place! We aren't local but we have run across this place a few times as my daughter was considering going to college up the road at UNE (and she decided to go there so we will be here more often!) Just had it today - cheeseburger and small onion ring. So good, friendly and quick. The small onion ring is a big serving and they are SO good! Cheeseburger was fresh, good quality and yummy. Folks here are really nice - highly recommend!! read more
