Ray’s Place

If you’re in Kent and want consistently amazing food, top-tier service, and an atmosphere that’s genuinely fun, Ray’s Place is the place to go. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is energetic and welcoming without feeling chaotic. It’s the perfect balance of laid-back and lively — great for a casual dinner, a night out with friends, or even just grabbing a drink at the bar. The food is outstanding across the board. I highly recommend the meatloaf — it’s hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. Flavorful, perfectly cooked, and comforting in all the right ways. That said, everything on the menu is incredible. I’ve never had a bad meal here, and that kind of consistency says a lot. Service is always excellent — attentive, friendly, and genuinely accommodating. The staff clearly takes p

Ray's Place continues to be a community staple. The classic restaurant offers all the American Bar classics to the best level. On my trip, my group ordered a Burger with the works, Hot Wings, Taco Salad, and a Chicken Wrap. The taco salad and wrap were fine, but the burger and wings were incredible. The wings are a standout, especially when compared to other wings served at restaurants in the area. When in Ray's, you feel like you are eating a meal where people have eaten for decades. I too hope to eat here for decades as well.

First time here. The staff blew me away. They were on their "A" game. Whenever a staff walked by our table they asked how everything is and if we needed anything. It just wasn't our waitress, who was so bubbly and nice by the way, that made sure we had everything. It was so refreshing to be in an atmosphere where they were glad we were there and that we weren't "bothering" them like some establishments can be. Oh, the nachos with the pulled pork was wonderful!

The first time I ate here, I think I was one. I'm thirty seven at the time of this review. There's a reason they've been around since my grandparents were kids. Every time I'm back in town, I try to make time for a bite here. Good place for families until about 9pm. Starts to get rowdy with college students after that (I used to be one of them). Last time, the game was on too loud to hear my folks, but they kindly turned it down for us. Besides that, the changes I've seen Ray's go through have been for the better overall. Great crew. Huge pub fare menu with the staples and quite a few veg options. Lots of good beers from around the country. Hope to return before too long.

Amazing people! We walked in and right away offering us free food. That’s was grilled in the back. Ray, is the man that owns the bar. He has been is business ever since the year 1984. Him and his son run this cute place . Everyone there was so nice and so sweet. Met his brother and a wonderful lady, who filled us in on all the good spots. If your liking for a spot just to get a few beers and have great Conversation, this is one spot for you.
