    Double cheeseburger deluxe with olives
    Teddy N.

    Great little take out only diner. Burgers and fried dinners. Flavored milkshakes. Great place lunch or dinner.

    Double cheeseburger deluxe
    Jayson D.

    Quick and reliable with none of the frills because some folks don't need frills! You've got to know Ray's is a Grand Haven institution with a following. Devotees have been noshing for years on beefburgers, fries, and milkshakes as a quick meal en route to the beach, on the way home from work, or just to get a bite. During the pandemic it's drive-in only. Park in a numbered stall and order by phone. A masked and gloved employee delivers your order to your car and collects your money. Easy. The food is drive-in fare, nothing fancy, and it's not trying to be fancy. I got a deluxe cheeseburger, crinkle cut fries, and a chocolate shake. Inexpensive and tasted fine enough for me. We also tried the onion petals, and these also were good (they even come with onion petal sauce, into which I dipped my fries). It's not gourmet, but it's also not priced to be gourmet. What you see is what you get. I love food without pretentiousness. I'll be back. Order up! --Jayson

    a hamburger and milkshake

    It was good for, especially for the price. There was a lot of variety and something for the whole family. The service was decent but it took a bit of time- I would most definitely go back, but not if I was in a rush.

    Double Burger, Deluxe, with Olives, and Fries..

    One of the best in simple.. Easy menu, the shakes have the most options.. They are not fast food, It will take longer than the burger chains for a good reason.. After your order the number of burger patties will be shouted back to the grill to get the order started.. No heat lamp in sight, this burger/fish shop is performing without a net.. It is one of many greasy local gems more than worthy of a stop.. Delicious

    A cute little diner in a town that is reminiscent of Lake Geneva, minus the Illinois license plates. During this COVID-19 business, you pull into a parking place (they're numbered) and call in your order. After a short wait, someone brings it to your car. I ordered a perch sandwich, that had two breaded, fried, perch fillets on a hamburger bun. I enjoyed the sandwich and perhaps I'll have a chance to visit here again, sometime after the Covid-19 baloney is all finished.

    Ray's is about as basic as a restaurant can get. No place to eat inside, no bathrooms, no sink to wash your hands, just good food.

    See all

    Not impressed. Completely overpriced and not worth the money. Shakes are ok but I am not thrilled with the burgers or fries. Mediocre

    It was fast. Frys were tasty. Cheeseburger both had way to much mustard. That's all we could taste.

    Good, cheap and fast food! Sizes are small, so go for that triple burger and extra large shake and drink! Friendly service!
