Ray's the Steaks is exactly what we expected. Premium steaks at non-premium (but not cheap) prices. Simple but nice dining rooms. Noise level allowed for easy conversation. All 3 of our steaks were delicious, though one was slightly overcooked (medium well instead of medium -- but I kept it anyway and devoured it). The mashed potato sides (w/ garlic, and... more

If you're a high end type person who loves wines, this is the place for you. If you're a beer and peanuts type of person...this is NOT the place for you. I found the prices to be on the high side compared to other steakhouses with better selections, services, and atmospheres. The beer selection was dismal and when you order... more

After doing some research on the Internet, I came across Ray's the Steaks and all the wonderful reviews. Being we were staying in the Arlington area, we thought we'd give it a try and we were not disappointed! Although we made the mistake of not making reservations and arriving at 8pm on a Saturday night, the wait was only about... more

We planned ahead and called at 2pm for a reservation for that night (Friday). Was told they only had 5:30 and 9pm available. As we were going with our 8 year old daughter we chose 5:30. We arrived at 5:30 and after taking one look at our daughter we were seated in the bistro side, not the nicer restaurant side.... more

Ray's, hands down, serves the best steaks of any restaurant. As someone who grew up in the South, I can be quite discriminating when it comes to steaks (afterall, we grill them almost every weekend, and there are numerous family-owned restaurants that specialize in steak, cut the meat in front of you, and seat only about 15 people at a... more

I thought the food was wonderful, not much of an area to wait for your table, a bar would be nice. The steak was cooked to order and the wait staff was friendly. I enjoyed meeting people while I waited since we were all from out of town. I will eat here again. more

Nice little neighborhood restaurant. We had to wait to be seated until entire party arrived which took awhile since there is absolutely no parking nearby. Restaurant was very noisy and the staff rushes you throughout the meal and seems to be annoyed if you aren't ready to order or finish eating quickly. One of the steaks we ordered medium arrived... more

Great steaks- too bad I do not live in Virginia anymore. Now it is too far away to just hop over a savor the meat. more

We went to Ray's the Steaks on Sunday to celebrate a very special Birthday. I went there expecting a great experience after reading all of the reviews and was quite disappointed. We had a reservation at 730 and when we got there the very small waiting area was packed. The hostess, who was very friendly, said we would be seated... more
