What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ray's Drive-In is a beloved spot for its nostalgic atmosphere and classic comfort food, particularly its burgers and crinkle-cut fries. While many praise the simple yet delicious flavors and value, some reviews mention the food being inconsistent or smaller than in the past. The service is generally efficient, making it a good choice for a quick, retro bite.
"The place itself seems old and a bit worn, but I thought the food was solid. I had a double cheeseburger, and it tasted great with the cheese melted just the way I like. The fries were also good. Prices were comparable to a fast food restaurant, and I thought the food was a step up from that. Service was fairly bare bones, but acceptable. I was happy with my meal."

"Food is mid as hell to say the least. Better off going to fortune cookie or damn Burger King. Burgers were smaller than back in the day (thank you shrinkflation) fries and onion petals were soggy. Chicken looked and tastes like paste that was breaded.
Only good thing I guess was the ranch, wife is a ranch girlie and she said it was a lot of good ranch.
But I know yall won’t give a damn about a bad review so do with it as you will."

"This little gem in grand haven is a must try. So basic yet so delicious. The cheeseburger was hands down the best cheeseburger i have found in Michigan so far. The price was amazing as was the service.
This isn’t a fancy restaurant or a sit down place it is literally all about the food. No bells, no whistles just a great drive in burger and fries…..plain and simple."
