"The name says it all at Ray’s on the River, which has a loyal local following. The regulars come for Oysters & Martinis Hour, with its half-priced oysters and $12 martinis on weekdays, and live music, held every weekend and during Sunday brunch. You can’t go wrong with seafood, especially the jumbo lump crab cake and Charleston-style shrimp and grits. Don’t forget about the Killer Creek location, which is also on the water. Ray’s founder sold the restaurant to new owners last year." - Caroline Eubanks
