Ray's The Steaks

Amazingly priced steaks and yummy unlimited sides. The crab soup appetizer has some meaty crab lumps, the steaks are all tender (just make sure to get medium rare)... better come soon before the place closes for good :( The key lime is especially good!!

It's funny, this place must make most of it's money by saving on overhead alone! For a fancy steak dinner, the interior is very casual. Kind of feels like a small auditorium made for dining. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that their food is awesome! First of all, get the crab bisque! They're known for it for a good reason - it's heavy, but delicious and with large crab chunks in the bottom. We ended up ordering the cowboy cut rib steak for 2. When you find a good bite on the rib steak, it's definitely amazing, but I felt like the entire cut was a little inconsistent (sometimes it would be dry or too chewy). Next time I'm definitely ordering the filet or the rib eye, but I will definitely be back!

Absolutely hands down my favorite steakhouse in America. I come here every time I’m in DC. Not the fanciest, but they make up for it with steak that will blow your mind. And the service is lovely! Have the lobster bisque, a cowboy steak and enjoy the endless mash and spinach. (Truly, the mash is crazy good).

Service was extremely slow. Not sure if it was because my boyfriend and I are younger looking that the server decided to give us worse service than the older couple beside us or what, but due to the service, we most likely will not come back. It took us nearly 20 minutes to get the check and server barely paid attention to us during our dining experience. Flavor of the steaks is nothing I can't do at home/make myself with my sous vide or reverse searing.

This is really a 3.5 rating.We both enjoyed our meals. The steaks were cooked nicely and the creamed spinach was very tasty. My scallops unfortunately were overdone. The water pitcher on the table had no ice so our water was somewhat warm. Service was efficient but not particularly friendly.The floor needed to be swept, but admittedly we dined close to 11pm so maybe that was a factor. The restaurant appeared to be a bit battered needed touch ups on the wall, etc. Overall it was a good experience but I wouldn't be rushing to come back.

Great steaks with fair prices for the area. Cozy atmosphere, not too fancy. Limited seating so opt for reservations when possible. Mashed potatoes and creamed spinach are complimentary with dinner orders. Decent wine list and tasty dessert options. Will definitely be coming back!

This is definitely a no-frills, hole-in-the-wall place with a relaxed and casual vibe. I got the wagyu beef and my boyfriend got a huge New York strip. Both were seasoned minimally (as a steak should be) and cooked as requested. Mashed potatoes and creamed spinach are served family style to every table. You can order additional sides, if you want. We got the mac and cheese. All sides were good. The service was also great. It was neat to have a delicious steak without having to go to a fancy, stuck-up steakhouse.

Everything was delicious, the waiter was friendly. The place looks like it needs more decorations. But I still liked its vibe, you can go with your friends, chat and have a nice meal.
