Customer Reviews

"We got mushroom Swiss burgers with fries and onion rings and a mozzy burger with mozzarella sticks on it. They were good. My mom's food was left off the order and we had to reorder. Then when her steak and cheese sandwich came after waiting awhile, she said it didn't taste good at all. I saw in the area where the ice came out of the machine that there was mold in it."

"Awesome place to stop for a bite to eat! Everything is fresh and the buns are made by hand daily. There is candy in the barrels that have for their customers and it's FREE. You need to check this place out!"

"Great service! Suggested the turkey wrap special and crispy tots. Atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. Bins of candy at the front. Outdoor seating and a drive thru."

"Walking in it looked like a cute little place, our server was very nice as well as patient when taking our order. I noticed mold on the ice machine where the ice comes out which grossed me out, the table we sat at was dirty and sticky. I had to take some paper towels to the bathroom to wet them and clean our table and the tables near us were also in need of cleaning. I wasn't impressed with the food. I just got a single Pattie original burger, the patty was very salty so I could only take a few bites, the seasoned fries were okay, the ranch was good. My nephew got a mushroom Swiss burger and the patty again was salty, but he was hungry so he ate it. My mom got a skinny Carmel macchiato and it tasted kinda burnt, but the nice young lady exchanged it for a mint hot chocolate which mom was happy with. Overall I think this could be a good, but they really need to do some deep cleaning and keep it clean. We showed up right before lunch while it was still empty so all tables should have been clean. Hopefully management will take care of the cleanliness issues."

"Rays is a great fast and budget friendly option with variety. The breakfast sandwiches, bowls and waffles are great! We also live the coffees and energy drinks. Do yourself a favor and try the Hawaii 5.0 with cream."

"Good experience all around. Good food in a nice atmosphere. Counter service so you order and then they bring the food to you. I'm not a fan of that but what can you do. However, the burger was great. They have a pretty wide variety of burgers, subs and some light fare. A la carte menu, so you have to order fries if you want them. As as I said, the double Patty Burger was wonderful and nice. Fresh bun. Fries and tater tots were also delicious. Plenty of parking. Easy access from 400 South. Would recommend it and will recommend it to my son in Dahlonega!"

"I ordered a side of bacon, it was 2.29 per slice. The bacon was cold and obviously old. It was somehow burnt but cold. It crumbled when I picked it up. I have no problem paying that price for quality bacon, but this was sad. Honestly it was not any different then bacon you'd get at a hotel complementary breakfast, but at least those are typically warm. When we asked for freash warm bacon the girl was obviously irritated about it and sat the new bacon down aggressively on our table. The "new" bacon was the old bacon just reheated. The biscuit was good but I'll never be back."
