Lil'ray's Restaurant

I first considered Bulls, , but they didn't have a website or a publish menu. I couldn't figure out what they serveLil Rays has a website, menu,Plus the food was superior Much better than shaggys The flavor profiles were complimentary and cooked to perfectionThe crab cake was darker than I expected, but no effect on flavor.For those of you who don't like hush puppies, you should try theirs Absolutely wonderful (and I don't care for hush puppies!Go there, bring your party!

I thought I recall it being disappointing last winter for this snow bird, so I tried again. Slow service, long wait on meal and then it was wrong: fried grouper and not grilled as requested, but I ate it and left. The Cajun Potatoes were pretty good. Slow to get the bill, too. The iced tea and fish were not very reasonably priced.

Great shrimp wraps . Love the Cocktail sauce & smoked tuna dip too‼ I can't say enough. The onion rings & pivots are aworoo

Yelp, made it to lil Ray's, which came highly recommended. Your ambiance and flare is casual. We are a party of 5 being served by Jay. For apps we have a couple of orders of gumbo and fried mushrooms. Mushrooms are delicious. Mary ordered the fish tacos, they are average, fish wrapped in flour tortillas with no sauce. Matriarch got soft fried crabs with a salad, they were really good. Pam, Fee and I all got catfish. It was good. Fee ordered hers with new potatoes and they were delicious. I was so hungry, I had limited food pictures. Jay was so tired and it showed. Note the stars. Lil Ray's is definitely worth a try.

Food wasn't up to par at all. Crab and corn bisque was by far the worst I've had. Shrimp batter wasn't on the shrimp very well. Just a poor quality food! I will say the waiting staff were very nice!

Very slow service. Food used to be amazing...mediocre at best now. The ambiance isn't anything to boast or complain about. Just a typical diner type of atmosphere.

We got takeout, so I can't judge the in-restaurant experience. The shrimp po-boy is solid. Good bread, plentiful shrimp. We got a garden salad which was not a good value--it was fresh, but it was mainly iceberg lettuce and not worth $7.

Probably the best fried shrimp on the coast, and also some of the best crab cakes you've ever had!

We were so disappointed in our last take out order and in the past have had good food and service here. Our order of Royal Reds was missing the potatoes and the shrimp were small, not true to size for Royal Reds. We called after we got home and saw the poor quality to let them know. Hope this was a one off and not indicator of future orders.

The food and service are always great. Every time I'm in Long Beach, I always make it a point to come to Lil' Rays! I usually get the grilled tuna or the fried catfish and fried shrimp. Never disappointed.
