Avaliações de Ray's Drive-In Cafe Lufkin
Outside dining, inside dining, in car dining. Great service with food to match. Got the steak finger basket off of a recommendation. Greatly pleased I listened.
Great steak fingers, with onion rings! Great burgers as well, a true Lufkin staple!! Hope it never goes away
Ray’s Drive-In in Lufkin, Texas is one of those classic local spots that still does things the right way. The pricing is refreshingly fair, especially for the portion sizes, and you can tell the food is made with care instead of rushed out. The burgers are juicy, well-seasoned, and taste like an old-school drive-in burger should, but the real standout is the homemade onion rings—crispy, golden, and clearly hand-battered, not frozen. The atmosphere has that laid-back, small-town charm where you can actually relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Service is fast and efficient, even when they’re busy, which makes it an easy go-to whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or hanging out for a bit. A must-try is the Durango ZubaFuzz soda, especially the strawberry rhubarb flavor—it’s unique, refreshing, and pairs perfectly with a burger and onion rings. Ray’s Drive-In is the kind of place that reminds you why local joints will always beat chains when it comes to flavor, value, and character.
Have been going here all my life. It's a great spot to be if you're family oriented and like food lol. Love the burgers and fries!
I have eaten here since before I can remember. Delicious fresh Hamburgers and onion rings. When my mom wants burgers this is our go to in Lufkin. Love the pull up and order to go area. Friendly staff.
Excellent burgers and soft serve ice cream. We were a large group and the staff were ready for us and very organized. They filled our orders really fast. It was an all around pleasant experience.
This is truly a step back in time! Ray's Drive-In in Lufkin delivered one of the best hamburgers I’ve ever had — second only to my mom’s! The atmosphere is fantastic, with a classic car-hop theme that brings all the nostalgia in the best way. I was in town getting some work done by a local practitioner at MMA, and April recommended this spot. I’m so glad she did. The food was wonderful, the vibe was perfect, and the whole experience felt like a delicious trip into the past. Highly recommended!
This is what a dinner should be, nostalgia, great folks serving up freshly made food. Beautiful wait staff with character, smiles and great service. Heirloom in a modern world, a step above fast food chains because personal touch and most important a great Hamburger and Variations. All the food was delicious and served promptly while warm. A brief visit to Lufkin brought me here, a pretty lady that walked up to us as soon as we drove up greeted us as this place also offered drive up service. She asked us if we would like to use the dinning area or if we would be ordering to go. We prompted to enjoy our meal full of charismatic locals and friendly Texan folks.
This is a great local burger joint that anyone visiting Lufkin must enjoy. Their burgers taste dramatically different than most of the other fast food places that serve hamburgers, and in a positive way! Really good juicy burgers, with grilled buns. The staff is nice, the atmosphere is amazing, and the best part is it's one of the old style retro drive-in burger joints as well.
Great burgers! A lot of fried food. Drive thru is convenient . Old style restaurant, they take your order while you pull up under the carport, and deliver it right to you !

What can you say when this place has been here more than 60 years. Yes they still have car hops! Susan is the best! The only thing that I can say bad was when the car hop dumped our drinks in our lap…
Love the food and the 60s atmosphere, always a great time to be had . Never disappointed

Excellent burger and fries. I'll be going back every time I'm in that neck of the woods
Very few of these original burger joints left complete with car hops and malts and the most delicious burgers and fries you'll ever eat. They have been in business for nearly 60 years and there's a…
Two nights in a row had a double bacon cheeseburger with bun(keto diet) a good, no nonsense burger for a fair price! Doesn't get any better than that
Gluten free and dairy free options for burgers and buns. Did not get anything fried because they were not sure of cross contamination in fryers. Food was good and cooked to order.

Stopped here on our way home to Houston with our two pups. Excellent food, especially the burgers. And they had gluten-free options!! A perfect lunch stop on our road trip.

Update I decided to try it again, as the food is good. The water, however, 7 months later is still the worst water I've had a restaurant in recent memory, but the food is still good. I'll be back, but I've learned not to trust the water. We got another double bacon cheeseburger and a hotdog, with tots and onion rings. The food was all good; well recommended. ---- Bacon cheeseburger and chicken strips were very good. The water was not. I suggest a filter for water. I would not stop there again for my break particularly because of the water. I would gladly eat the food again, but if I'm thirsty, I'll stop somewhere else, on my trips through. I recommend a water filter; it'll make a huge difference.
I liked the rays burger feel like a good classic burger with a the perfect amount of onion and flavor. The meat is perfectly cooked. Thanks ! Will come back
First time trying Rays. Carhop very friendly Bacon cheeseburger & tots were delicious My husband ordered large Frito pie, a slice of pecan pie & strawberry shake. We enjoyed our meals. Glad we decided to stop by
Had a solid burger, rings and a corn dog at Ray’s last night. Fully expected a frozen corn dog, but these taste like they are hand battered. The burger was good, although the meat could have used a little seasoning. Staff was friendly. Overall a good experience and would definitely return.
Family environment great food! \nGo rays!!! Best hand packed burgers in Texas! Don't take my word...... go try them for yourself!!!
We have been coming to Rays for many years, however; about 6 months ago when dining here we were approached by an individual in the parking lot while leaving who would not leave our family alone when asked. The individual continue to approach while appearing heavily influenced by either a substance or mental illness. We had not wanted to return due to the worry caused by this incident. Today, we finally decided to try again. The SAME individual was there, appearing to be in the same state of being. We asked and motioned that we did not want to be approached and he continued anyway. He agitatedly followed us into the restaurant and caused a disturbance. I am sad to say I will probably not be back to Rays. The food has always been great and they had the best burgers, but it’s not worth it if they can’t keep their customers from being accosted in their parking lot.
I don't live in Lufkin, but I eat here when I'm in town. The food is pretty good, but I usually go to the drive thru. Today was the first time eating inside. Food was alright, but there's a concerning amount of dead American and German cockroaches in the light fixtures. The German cockroach is almost impossible to get rid of. I may have to stop coming here, what a bummer.
Visiting Lufkin, so went to Ray’s b/c I had seen it on TV & was curious. The tea was excellent, but I got a small drink, there wasn’t enough to fill my cup. I tried a couple of the sodas, but I am not crazy about the way drinks from a soda fountain taste. The 1st table we went to sit at was dirty (still dirty when we left). The burgers were good, & they were large. The onion rings were dry, cold & not crispy at all. We went on Saturday at 4:30pm. A table of 3 was ahead of us, they ordered burgers & onion rings too, we were finishing up before they got their food, & the man had to ask for it. Like I said, tea was excellent, burgers were good, but not good enough for us to go back.
I've been to a great amount of burger places and this one is kind of middle of the road, I mean my wife loves it which is a plus! (she's a picky eater) The atmosphere is very nice, sorta clean booths, cool air conditioning, radio I'd hear at The Home Depot. Staff was wonderful and kind. Very efficient too, didn't have to wait long at all for our food. They even have a microphone to call your name when your food is done, it's loud and clear so you'd never miss it. I've come here on 2 separate occasions and both times staff has been excellent. Most recently I ordered the Patty melt and it honestly was kinda mid. Definitely needed condiments, but even with the mayo I still wasn't quite satisfied. Mozzarella sticks are bomb, loved em. My wife loves the bacon cheeseburger, so if/when I do come back that's what I'll be stopping by for!
I have been going to Ray's for decades. I still like the people. The food quality seems to have gone down some and a bit high for what you get. I'll still go just not near as often

I thought it was going to be good but it fell short. I walked in and the place looked super cute but the staff was very rude and unfriendly, not a single smile the whole time. I got the chili chees…
A good place which could have been great. The burger itself was good. They asked me if I wanted mustard and mayo...I said just mayo..what did I get? Both. The onion rings were undercooked, the food…
Local favorite. Quick, friendly staff. Good selection for everyone to choose from menu board. Even offers car hop service or call in drive thru window. Hint... ask for fresh cooked fries.
Food was ok, not fabulous, but we needed a place to sit with our puppy and the outside patio was great. Large fans going and still got good service.
Not sure about maybe the night I went i ordered a few things old school place been here for decades everyone's parents had a burger here when they were "their age" type place- Prices cheep to me by many modern places, and staff besides the they/them person, that created me, friendly polite person, but not what I 3xpected at a Texas way back when mom and pops place all staff was polite nice, just see food below Not sure Ray if he is still kicking and knows what they are serving now, under his name, if he is he should be ashamed if not the owners now should be, as this was just not very good at all- bacon cheese burger besides the hard over cooked bacon breaking my molars all I could taste was the sad taste of the mealy bun...no cheeseburger taste to my cheese burger . Oh the salad dressing theh called mayo that was prominent, it was large-ish, i guess filling but really no taste. I do get JR burgers at whata burger ---so... Onion Rings --- do not order you are warned.... I bought a steak sandwhich for my breakfast who does not love a chicken fried steak sandwhich in the AM....but now im like if we cant pull off a burger??? But i bet this place used to be the best in town, maybe on another night other cooks make better burgers but tonight ..nope....I'll not be back.
I am reworking my review of Ray's after three years. My husband, our grandson Eedan and I are eating at Ray's. I have eaten here frequently, since I was a child. The food is typically good, with few disappointing experiences over 45 years. My husband and I both ordered Ray's Specials. My grandson and husband both ordered tater toys with chili and cheese. I ordered onion rings, and my grandson ordered a hamburger. The food is delicious! Ray's is decorated in a cute manner, but a lot of the tables need cleaning of crumbs and grease during lunch rush. One worker is cleaning tables, in between taking orders. She needs help taking care of the front. The large, free parking lot is in desperate need of repairs. It's very rough. The restrooms are clean and stocked. I recommend Ray's! Note to visitors: Never, ever order Lufkin tap water anywhere. It's the worst tasting water, you will drink in the USA.
service was fine, the food was ridiculous! The hamburger patty was half the size of the bun, onion rings were old and cold! $30 for garbage! This place used to be good! Won't ever be back! Horrible!

Paid $16.99 for a single bacon cheeseburger and it was nowhere near worth it. The patty was about half the size of the bun and not very thick. Fries portion was small too. Then I noticed the “Ray’s Special” double patty is $14.49 (before tax)… so a smaller single costs more? I don’t get the pricing at all. Won’t be back.
