The staff is incredibly friendly and will guide you to buying the best items just for you. Even though it's just meat and cheese, the whole experience felt very personal. The staff is taking COVID precautions seriously and I've never felt safer in a small store. They also have curbside pickup available.

The ambiance of the place is also nice and has a cost feel. When it comes to the food, we had the black bear Chicken pasta dish that had absolutely no flavor. Had to drown the dish with Leon and salt and that could not even help it. We also had the fried haddock with fries. The breading was very bland and again, lemon and the tartar sauce so. It help much. Fish was overpriced for the size presented. Will not be coming back as there are better restaurants in the area.

Their internet was down so they were only taking checks or cash and I wrote a check and pre-paid for my order for a 4pm pickup time. I went back at 4pm and the order had just been bagged and was ready on time as always. As usual, they were very punctual in getting this order ready on time! Excellent service in light of their tech issues that day and they still make the best lobster rolls around and do not skimp on the lobster meat! Their Lobster Rolls prices are quire fair and reasonable and priced a lot lower than other restaurants in the area. Still 5 stars and they are a local business which for us, makes all the difference in giving them our continued business. Well done Ray's! -------------------------------------------------------------- We've been delighted with the service (pickup) and food quality at Rays. I stopped by at opening on New Year's Eve (12/31/2025) to order 4 of their awesome lobster rolls and a quart of their house cole-slaw. There was no cashier ready as I'd arrived just at opening and the manager took my order and asked what time I wanted to pick up, I replied at 4pm and offered to prepay for the order as is the standard policy for takeout, but, she told me no worries and to come by at 4PM and everything would be ready. It was! I went back at 4pm and the order was ready to go. I paid for my order (and be advised, Ray's charges less than many restaurant do in this area for a solidly filled lobster roll). We are still very delighted with their service, quality of food and prices. Supporting a local Vermont owned company also means a lot to us. Zero complains and we will continue to give Ray's our business. Well done!

Location/Decor 5/5: Loved the location of the store, it was perfectly placed around other shops. Also conveniently located right behind the store was a lawn with tables/chairs and a river! The store itself was super cute and had tons of other products you can buy. Side note, the bathroom is across the way in another complex, quick minute walk. Food 4/5: I ended up getting the Shrimp Po Boy $15.95. The sandwich was huge and a bit messy. I would have preferred a smaller sandwich and it come with a side instead. The sandwich was pretty light, flavor was good and the shrimp was cooked well. Service 5/5: This is definitely a locals place, the person taking our order knew several of the patrons that came through. The service was quick and the person taking our order was very kind! I would happily be back if I am in the area!
