Ray's Lunch

This is the cutest little diner. The ladies running it are so friendly and attentive. Everything we had was wonderful. The portions are huge, and the prices are cheap!

Excellent downtown diner. Great service and food. Our go to stop for Saturday morning breakfast.

TR who works at Halls of Water recommended Ray's when I asked where he would go for lunch. He said their burgers are really good and he was spot on ! This is a short walk from the Halls of Water museum. The diner was full with one table open. Everyone was having a good 'ole time. Upon walking in, you get the impression everyone knows each other. Debbie was right over to take our order, we had just missed breakfast so we looked to the right side of the menu. The chicken strips basket caught my eye. There were two hand sized strips and plenty of fries in a basket. My husband had the cheeseburger and while small, it was Perfect and tasty !Definitely worth coming to if you're in Excelsior Springs !!! Thanks ladies.

Classic small town diner with simple, great tasting food and great service. The diner was clean, server was quick and attentive, coffee and breakfast were hot, and the bill was affordable. Great local spot!

Stopped by here while exploring downtown and had breakfast. It's a small locally owned diner. Seating is limited. Locals frequent the place, and it seems like everyone knew everyone. Servers were just as friendly to us, "tourist", as they were the locals. Food was good, cooked right in front of you. Generous portions, clean and served quickly. If your exploring downtown, or staying nearby eating breakfast here is something you would enjoy.

This place is a dive. With that being said, the service was great and the food was delicious typical greasy diner food. Our table had the Sausage and cheese omelet, b&g, combo plates. It was all great. Glad we waited the 10 minute wait on a Saturday morning- it was worth the wait.

Ray's was such a cute little place to eat! Their cheeseburgers were just the right size for a little something to eat. I would highly recommend the double! It had an amazing small diner feel!

I got the Cheeseburger and fries and my date had the grilled cheese with chili cheese fries. The service was great. It's a very small diner. We scored a seat in a booth by luck. The burger is small and they advertise it that way. It was perfect for me. They overload you with fries, and they were great. Pictured, I had not even touched the fries. My date said the grilled cheese was as expected and the chili cheese fries were not the best. She said next time she wants to go for breakfast to get the garbage sandwich. Get there early if you want breakfast because they stop serving prior to when they start shutting down for the day. We were there at 1300 and there was no breakfast. Closing is at 1400. We enjoyed it and good folks run the place. Next time we will show earlier.

This place is great. I love everything about it. I love the quaintness and the historic nature of the diner. The food was excellent. My eggs, ham, and hash browns were as good as you can ask for. The staff was excellent as well. It definitely is a local place that everyone should visit. I will be back on my next visit to the Elms.

Flew in from Seattle. We were looking for a good quick mom-pop burger joint to cut the edge before the wedding on Saturday 06/08. Service was fantastic and burgers were great. Definitely next time I am in the area I'm down to grubCraig Smith
