"You have to sit at the bar to capitalize on this deal, which is fine by us. We’ll happily settle down on a stool for half-price oysters and $12 martinis. And if your oyster dinner (or economical choices) leave you feeling smug, then your next move should be a victory lap in Ray’s backyard gardens along the Chattahoochee River bank. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - juli horsford
"All the Ray’s locations (On The River, In The City, At Killer Creek) would make the Atlanta restaurant hall of fame, but the original in Sandy Springs is our first ballot pick. Sitting on a scenic bank of the Chattahoochee, Ray’s is a dependable choice for upscale seafood. From Sunday brunch to dinner, you’ll see a merger of crowds—from corporate cards and the types who take three-hour cocktail lunches to date nights and family celebrations. We get why this place has stayed packed since 1984. It’s a benchmark for quality Southern seafood with dishes like their delicious BBQ shrimp on a cheesy grit cake." - team infatuation
"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
"Steak and seafood restaurant Ray’s on the River opened in what is now known as the city of Sandy Springs on the Chattahoochee River in 1984. The restaurant continues to be a dining destination for Southern surf and turf." - Missy Frederick
"All the Ray’s restaurants (on the River, in the City, at Killer Creek) would make the Atlanta Restaurant Hall of Fame, but the original 1984-established Sandy Springs location would be our first ballot pick. Sitting on a picturesque bank of the Chattahoochee (not all riverside views are created equal), Ray’s on the River is an always-dependable choice for an upscale seafood and steak meal. From Sunday brunch to dinner, it’s never not busy—with industry folks, date nights, retirees, and folks taking three-hour cocktail lunches." - demarco williams, nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
