17 Robson Rd, Leamington, ON N8H 2M8, Canada
Ribs were absolutely incredible would highly recommend this place. Just needs some lights outside and a properly lit sign as it looked closed the restaurant when we drove up.
Really enjoyed this place food was awesome . Best Ribs I've had in a while.. Our waitress Dee was the best.. Highly recommend..
Had a chicken and rib dinner here as part of a group dinner on a night when the restaurant is normally closed. Service was excellent and the food was delicious and served hot and fresh and had good flavour. I would love to go back and order off their menu.
On their site, they say that food can be delivered, so I ordered some chicken wings and fries, costing $30 plus taxes. Five minutes later, I realized I was never given an option to give them my address and the order for delivery was actually for pick up. We tried calling them to switch it to delivery, but it went to voice mail. We left a message, but they never responded. I thought that I must have missed an option for delivery, so I started another fake order on their site just to look around. Nope! There is no option on their site for delivery, even though it says at the top of the site that you can have it delivered. That's why this review is a 2. Because they lied. I thought about giving it a 3 if the food was good enough, and it IS good, but I'm still giving it a two because the only reason we made the order in the first place was specifically because we DIDN'T want to go out, but had to anyway as I had already paid. If you are going to offer delivery, then deliver! Now as I said, the food was good (though pricy) and the restaurant itself looked really nice. I can see myself going back if I ever get another craving for what they sell, but they need to fix their site and either give an option for delivery, or stop saying they deliver.
We came to Leamington from Ohio for a boat visit. We were limited on restaurant options due to no car. We found Rays and ended up eating there twice. I admit we were skeptical at first as the inside looked chaotic. The food was amazing. We had the artichoke dip which was AMAZING. For meals we had the ribs, Chicken sandwich and the chicken (fried). I highly recommend Rays.
Get ribs if going. Ribs were delicious and came right off the bone. Value and portion was amazing for a half rack as it comes with a bun, beans and a choice of fries or a potato. The prices reflect the shape of this building though but I feel it adds to the character of a nice home cooked meal. Would highly recommend
Love Rays. Ribs,ribs,ribs. Yes they have other good food but I love the ribs! One tiny suggestion. More beans,no reason to skimp on them. Regular crowd and I can see why.Recommended!
Great food. Great service. Comfortable environment. I had a fatoosh salad, the Ray's burger (Tuesday's special) and the peanut butter chocolate dessert. All were delicious.
Excellent service, food . Just the best!!!
Perfectly cooked ribs with daily dinner specials.
We found the ribs very dry but very tasty. Wheelchair accessibility: It would be difficult but not impossible. Food : 3/5 |
Excellent Ribs, but reluctant to eat them cause the place is filthy. Its a disgrace when the Canadian and American flags are torn and dirty. Please someone by new ones. The carpet is so dirty you stick to it. Take some pride in your restaurant buddy. Look up and around owner! Clean the place it doesnt cost much but time!
We ordered takeout - great ribs and chicken. Our order was ready as promised and no hiccups.
Absolutly mouth waterimg fall off the bone ribs!!! Very highly reccommended you visit! The kind friendly staff is very poliet and helpful! The loction down by the water is amazing. Of course #1 recommed is the ribs and chicken wings. Parking: Plenty of parking infront and a big side lot for extra cars
Stopped by on a first date (we have both lost our spouses to cancer) after a wonderful day to be seated and after we ordered our food , (wings special), only to find mouse droppings on the table. And the manager couldnt even be bothered to come and speak to us. They had no problem taking our money though.
Best burger in Leamington
Great food. Great fresh cut fries and baked beans come with your dinner. Staff always friendly
Great food and staff! The building interior desperately needs updating.
Ribs were very meaty and juicy. My go to place for ribs
Delicious, owner was great
Excellent food and service, highly recommend the ribs and pulled pork. Everything is made in house. Good value for your money.
This is such a great place to dine. Fun atmosphere. Great prices. Super nice employees. And they have WONDERFUL food.
Great ribs and chicken, party platter is so good!! And the desserts are amazing too!!
Ribs were delicious! And the service was exceptional! We loved the experience and will definitely be back!
Awesome food! Awesome prices! Awesome old diner style atmosphere! Ray (the owner) is also awesome, and he is always singing to himself over the ambient 60-70s music that is being played in the background. Dependent on whether or not you enjoy the vocal stylings of Leonard Cohen you may also find it awesome! I am partial to Leonard Cohen, so I find it awesome!
They best ribs are available here
Dined here with my parents recently - it was an absolute highlight of my trip to the region and the food was phenomenal. I had ribs and perch, my mother had mixed fish, and my father had a steak sandwich. All were amazing - especially the ribs, which are better than any I ve had in a very long time, but even down to the small details like the beans, which were sweet and smokey, and the freshly cut fries, which were top notch. Will return!
The ribs were delicious as usual. The waitress came back to check on us at different times, and we loved the atmosphere of the place.
Love this place! Their rolls and baked beans are the best Ive ever had! Not to mention their ribs are incredible, and if you go here, make sure to try the Texas torpedoes appetizer!
First time here and it was amazing!! Great wings great staff! We will be back!
Best ribs you can buy if you have not gone here please go you will enjoy this place every little bit. Parking: More than enough parking Kid-friendliness: Kind staff members
Good food especially at the price. Bit slow of service but made well for a good place to get together with friends.
We were intown for a hockey tournament and did our research ahead of time to find a great restaurant and Rays was it! Amazing ribs, tender, fall off the bone style, great sauce, fresh cut fries, fantastic cheese cake. Im sad I live 265km away but its worth the drive! Kid-friendliness: The kids meal rate was unbeatable. $7 gets you pizza, fries, a drink and an ice-cream sandwich!
Everything on the menu is delicious, and I mean EVERYTHING. Big portions and always excellent service.
Food and service is always top notch.
The food and service and Rays Ribhouse are always great. We love dining in or taking out.
Rays never disappoints. The food is always outstanding and the service is fast and friendly. Keep in mind you wait a little longer for your main course because most everything is prepared fresh but the appetizers and atmosphere make it well worth it. So sad weve moved far from the area but it will definitely is worth a day trip in the future.
I enjoyed dinner with friends here. I will be back
Im really surprised this place isnt busier. Very good food, excellent staff and relaxed atmosphere. I wish I lived closer to eat here more often.
I dont normally rate restaurants, but after tasting the grub from this place, I believe they deserve it. It l is definitely a Canadian treasure. The ribs were phenomenal, the fries were hot, and the service was top-notch. I cant stop raving about this place. I have eaten at a lot of places but this place takes first. If you havent had it already, I promise that you are missing out. This place is one of the best in Canada.
Super expensive. Chicken Ceasar was small and cost $18 each. I had to put it together. Cardboard burger container for rancid artichoke dip. 2 Ceasar salads with dried up 3 day old baked chicken and an artichoke dip app cost 54 dollars before tip!! I d suggest dine in or ribs only. Don t order dip apps to go or salad sides cause they ll rip you off.
Excellent place to gather with friends or business clients. Laid back atmosphere and the best ribs in town!
Great place to eat, jambalaya was delicious and the south side chicken was perfectly cooked..not too oily
Love this place it was delicious
The best ribs around. I eat there every time I m Leamington
Food here is amazing, prices are reasonable and staff is great.
We loved it here! It s a cute little place with exceptional service and great food. They were super busy when we went, but all the staff was still so kind and took their time with us. The ribs were by far the best part and fell off the bone. Will definitely be back!
We were here on vacation and I checked reviews on a lot of restaurants, Ray s came in very good, so we decided to try it, and let me tell you we were not disappointed, the staff are very friendly, the place has a lot of nostalgia! We all ordered the 3 piece chicken which came out very hot, with beans, bun, and either potato, rings, or fries. The portions were amazing! Best chicken I ve had in a long time Would highly recommend this restaurant. Len Warner St. Catharines, Ontario
Rib dinner huge, absolutely delicious and served with beans, coleslaw, bread and choice of potato. Fairly priced, and the service great. Everyone did everything they could to make you happy. We will return. Busy place, so recommend calling for a reservation. Place is a real gem.
GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, looking forward to going back again real soon !!
Great place for lunch or dinner, we will go back!
food and service great the whole place could use a do over not clean at all the condition of the US flag and Canadian flag on the wall is very disrespectful to both countries
It was about 20 years ago the last time I had ribs at Rays. I had it again 8.31.23. My first bite in 20 some years reminded of why it took so long to try it again. I had forgotten how bad it was. I tried to recook them because I spent a lot of money on it. I ended up throwing the ribs in the garbage.. I will throw my money in the garbage next time I think about ordering from there. Pay so much and restaurants dont care about quality. I dont support restaurants like yours. Im surprised your still open. But good job at that. Put that effort into your food. My opinion
I went today and had the crabbed stuffed mushrooms and Caesar salad. It was divine! The service was excellent and the whole feel of the place was relaxed. I enjoyed this experience very much. Thank you!
A fantastic local rib house ... food superior service great
Excellent ribs and perch dinners.
We were there on Wednesday night. My wife a I had the rib special. Food was so good we will be back again next week. The server we had I cannot remember her name was awesome
What a gem .... recommend highly. Great food, great service great price
First time at Ray s Ribhouse. The ribs, French fries, coleslaw and beans were great. Portions were above average. The chicken wings were THE BEST I ve ever had. Unfortunately I gobbled it everything so quickly I forgot to take a photo. We will definitely return.
Good ribs, good price
Everything we have eaten here over the last 4 years has been incredible! You can taste the love in the food. Home cooking without the dishes! Staff are great! We have ordered here likely a hundred times and they have never mixed up an order! Their fries are TO DO FOR. The ribs and chicken wings are easily the best in town! Call us fans! Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Easily the best valued kids meals in town (and made with real food)! Wheelchair accessibility: All one floor. Wheelchair accessie
Everyone enjoyed their meals, an overall excellent experience. Thank you.
Old school independent restaurant. Great food and excellent service. Only wish we had somewhere like this in my home town.
Ordered surf and turf with ribs and perch. Ribs were a tiny bit overdone but delicious, and the perch and tarter were completely delicious. Great service, awesome atmosphere.
Great food, great service. Best wings in the county!
Received the meal, which tasted great, in good time with friendly service and at a reasonable price. Will definitely return and recommend. Parking: The restaurant parking lot is very small, but there is more free parking that can be used at the business next door.
Excellent lunch, the food was perfect.
Rays crushes it everytime! If you get the Just the two us deal you will not regret it . Consistently awesome food, great people...what else can you ask for. Theres a reason theyve been in business this long.
Good ribs as always..
Great staff, and awesome food! Will definitely be back.
Good service, good food.
Amazing food and great service
Amazing food amazing friendly staff!!
Had the large Ceasar salad , Shirley Temple and strawberry drizzled cheesecake. The staff where super friendly! The place was decorated with lots too look at . My favorite was the Elvis wall. And not to mention the man behind the bar has some great singing skills! I would definitely eat there again!
This is the fifth of sixth time we have had Rays Ribs over the last few of years and it is consistently good. The ribs are meaty, tender, and smokey. There is a choice of sauces and somtimes we mix it up. The sides are all good, but the baked beans are amazing. The staff are very nice. If you like ribs, you should try Rays when you are in Leamington.
Food was Meh....service was ok. Hostess was clueless. You dont send someone with mobility issues through a very full dining area where mobility equipment wont fit between full tables....then we were redirected when a man at the bar bellered at us that the table is reserved....ummm the hostess sent us there ? Well its saved for someone else.... The moment we set foot inside was just awkward. Also there are sports jerseys hanging around the place and they are collecting a lot of dust and webs...place could use a good cleaning.
Clicked 4 by accident. 5 stars! The food and service is always on point. See you again soon!
I liked it so much that I ate there 4 evenings online. Excellent food, reasonable prices, the staff is really kind and attentive. Good music and decor which is very diverse. I was staying at the Seacliff next door. In short, a must!!
The best ribs and chicken in town
Good food, friendly service
Great food & service.
Great Rib dinner. Loved it Will come again
Outstanding!!!! Baby back ribs are out of this world good, steak was perfect. Prompt service, great staff and cold beer;)
Best wings in Windsor Essex, hands down. Always consistent, amazing every time.
After our second visit in two weeks we are impressed with the food and staff, everything nice and hot. Service with a smile. My only complaint would be the floor/carpet is grossly sticky underfoot.
Mediocre, bland food, stingy cheap sides.. locals like it because they probably haven t had good ribs before. I d give it a hard pass if you re from out of town.
First time out this way. Googled good places to eat and this popped up. I was feeling for ribs. This place did not disappoint. Best rib dinner I have had in a long time. $18 for half rack (choose a sauce), a side, coleslaw, beans and bun was fantastic! I had BBQ sauce and other person had honey garlic-both great! The beans were so good-like maple syrup flavour. The decor is also pretty kool. I wish they were closer to the GTA cause I would be back often. The only thing that I could say needed any improvement was the gravy-the taste was great but was pretty lumpy. Thanks for a wonderful meal!
Amazing food... Family of four ordered various things from ribs to steak and everything tasted amazing. Tried to take a picture of the ribs plate... Dont know why the ribs dont show in the plate anymore . Thank you for a great service
Just great food! The pickerel and chips were the best!
The food was fresh and delicious and the staff were friendly. Really enjoyed the chicken Parmigiana!
We had the pleasure of dining at your restaurant on Saturday night. The ribs fell off the bone and were delicious. Had enough leftovers for two meals. So glad that our ferry was changed to Leamington! Lisa did an excellent job looking after us!
We had a great meal. 2 full racks with rings and fries, 2 lbs of wings. Delicious. Wings were good but the ribs were great! Hand cut fries and home made slaw with beans to round off our feast. Will go again the next time we spend time near Leamington. Congrats on 26yrs in business!
Ribs were good although a bit dry.
Always fantastic! Awesome owners & staff !
We ate here 2 nights in a row. Great food and service.
Our party of 4 ordered ribs and perch for four people. It was served quickly and the staff babied us. Great experience!
food was good, ribs fell off the bone. portions are good and a fair price. great value.
First time Newcomer....very nice baked Lasagna....waiting for friends to bring for the Ribs
Great place for ribs
Very tasty rib, excellent service
Amazing food. Family owned and awesome service. Huge portions.
Fantastic meal options
This is my go to restaurant when friends from out of town come to Leamington for a visit. Always great food and service.
Wings and sauces are amazing. I know another restaurant coined the phrase, but finger lickin good....
Friendly service great food
Its was a cold and windy day at the park so we popped in at Rays for some take out. Got a chicken rib combo for two and everything tasted nice, food tasted fresha nd we will definately be back.
Unreal food, service and unlimited laughs!!!
This is a favorite place of mine to get some excellent food created by some really great people. and then eat at the dock and watch a beautiful sunset .
Tonight April 10th take out dinner for two was absolutely delicious, thank you
Awesome ribs!!!
The wings are really big they tasted great itd be sweet if they had some dry rubs
Love Rays ribhouse. NEVER disappointed no matter what I get, it is always great
Wow, the burgers are excellent .
Great food
Awesome ribs over there. Maybe the best ones in town. Good place for dinner
Ribs were great. We shared the 2 lb full rack which was a great meal. Meaty, tender, delicious. We had the regular bbq sauce. Very good house made sauce. Anyone who used to eat ribs from Top Hat restaurant in Windsor would say these ribs and sauce taste the same. And the Top Hat closed permanently about twenty years ago. Fresh cut fries here delicious. Large portions.. Fettucine alfredo it very good. All the other food very good. Nice place. Lots of memorabalia. Waited an hour for a table. Tried to get reservation for two days but no one answered the phone. But overall very good.
Had an awesome meal. Staff was excellent and the food was good
Great food. Large portions. Enjoyed the atmosphere.
Excellent food and great service! I will go back again!
Great food good drinks and good service.. clean with a nice atmosphere
Drove the Leamington on Friday night and my friend suggested Rays. Best ribs EVER!!!! The vibe in there was amazing and chill. Service 5 star and food was hot. Bonus Ive never seen a cleaner public washroom. Would highly recommend
We were camping at Wheatley P.P. & wanted to go out for dinner to celebrate a Birthday. Found Rays on Google. Busy place! Awesome food! Guys had ribs, we had fish dinners. Everything was delicious. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert.
9 people. Food was fantastic and the service was great. If you are still hungry after the dinner try the Peanut butter chocolate pie....So good.
Great Food, Great Staff, Friendly Relaxing Atmosphere & the Price is Right.
Excellent customer service and food
Excellent chicken and ribs, recommend to anybody in this area
Service par excellence, thank you, Dion! Food is awesomely tasty!
Love this place! Food is bomb, Ray is a super genuine guy and the price for specials is amazing :):)
Great food Great service and good prices. They did an excellent job with takeout during Covid and now they are open again. Go check them out.
Great ribs and good service
Good food and super friendly service. Will definitely eat there again. Their chicken fajitas are to die for.
High Quality fall off the bone Ribs. Amazing smokehouse BBQ sauce. Great side dishes. Friendly service. Quick seating and service even though they were very busy. Good value is an understatement. What a gem.
My husband and I really wanted to like this place as we had heard nothing but good things. Our experience was completely opposite. We each ordered the 3 piece chicken dinner for take out on Monday. The best part of the meal was the dinner roll. The fries were dripping in grease, the chicken was burnt and the coleslaw was tasteless. Mine ended up in the garbage. Even my husband ( who can usually eat almost anything) threw a lot of his in the garbage as well. I have never been so disappointed in my life. We will never order from this place again.
Great food. The cajun rub wings are to die for. I called in a carry out order and they were running a little behind(15 minutes). But still worth the wait. Will definitely order again.
We ordered take out at work from Rays. Philly cheese steak sandwich, potato/bacon soup, half rack of ribs, hamburgers and fries. It was all excellent! It was my 1st time eating there. When I picked up the food Ray rang my order through. He was singing and very friendly and jovial. (Lol!) A great experience, great food and prices! I will definitely eat there again and highly recommend this place!
This is a great go-to spot. Extensive menu, great food, hours, ambience, location, staff and service! Always had an awesome experience here.
Five Rib dinners and everyone injoyed them.
Best ribs anywhere...excellent food...Ray goes above and beyond...great service...
Great local spot. Food is always great.
The ribs the fries lemonade and the service were excellent! The coleslaw wasnt my preference Beans were adequate Roll wasnt the freshest Bathroom reminded me more of a gas station then restaurant and im a guy so not to fussy but ya they need to spend some time fixing that.
Very good food and value! Best chicken and ribs just a holler away from home.
The ribs here are way way too expensive and when its rib special day you get less portion every time when we have order out
Good food...good prices. Would go back again!!
Good on Tues 8buck hamburgers. A good deal
Awesome place showed up at 6 pm on Feb.14th. With no reservations. They found us a table for 4. I was taken for my BDay! Waitress was awesome and given everything no real unexpected long wait! Food was awesome! Cheers
We have come to Rays Ribs for our 4th. Visit, all the way from London On. Again solid service, great food and the ribs are more than worth the drive just for that alone. (but we did visit colasantis). A family friendly environment. Pleasant and prompt service And well above average food my daughter has tried ribs at Montanas Kelseys Swiss chalet Ribfest among other places And RAYS RIBS is still her favourite place to come to
Worth the wait! Really good food
Great food
Great service and awesome food
Their online ordering is a breeze and the ribs were yummy!
BEST RIBS EVER
Most excellent ribs, fried chicken, and baked beans! Time to roll into bed...
Love this place
Rays has THE best burgers. How could you go wrong...$8 for a homemade burger and fresh cut fries (Tuesday special) and dont forget $1 wings on Thursdays...you wont be sorry.
Great food
Slow service but exceptional food!
First time visitor, we had baby backs, fantastic, fresh cut fries, excellent vinegar based coleslaw, definitely will be coming back; great prices, great service and great food.
Good food
Alway love Rays! The best ribs in town! Friendly staff. Their chicken wings are like no other too!
Place needs updating but the food is excellent. Its a must stop and the staff is great
Excellent Ribs and chicken! Friendly service!
Amazing ribs and wings.
We stopped by while visiting Point Pelee. Unfortunately the ribs and chicken were a little dry, the ribs also needed more sauce. The lemonade tasted off. Everyone was fairly underwhelmed. Mushrooms were reported to be the best part of a burger (they were asked to be added on, not on the regular menu). It was okay, but not amazing given all the extremely positive reviews. There was a sort of musty smell, very slight, the bathrooms were very small. The waitress was not impolite but very to the point, for some that might be a plus. A little pricey given everything mentioned.
Been there twice now, highly satisfied both times. Got half rack of ribs each time, very tasty.
Delicious ribs, good service, close to the lake.
This place has very good ribs and chocolate peanut butter pie.
Kind and nice, but The rib is so sweet.
Very good food, friendly staff and awesome price. The sports decoration is pretty cool, although very simple. I rrdered half rack, it was super tasty and took very short time to come. They carry great beer selection on tap as well. I tried a couple of different ones and really liked both. Dont judge by the front (once I even thought it was closed) and go check their food! You will not regret. It worth the stop for sure.
It is a very busy place, however it shouldnt become an excuse that letting your customers sitting on the table for more than 15 minutes and not even ONE person come to say ANYTHING! Especially the server was just right beside our table, but she never even turned around and say hi. After she finished taking orders from the table besides us, she walked away. Good thing is, server did apologize when she finally approach our table. Ribs are little dry, but French onion soup is good. In general, food is 4 stars, service 3 stars.
Best ribs in town! Great atmosphere, great service!
Always great food at a good price. Staff are always personable!
The absolute best wings I have had. Thurs night is wing night. Try it youll be back for more. Raoul Bechard p.s. Big Wings!!!.
Great value, Low prices and Great tasting food.
