I highly recommend the chicken and waffles! Everything was amazing, but that dish was my family’s favorite!
We were so pleased, we asked to meet the cook, Claudia, for whom we gave a standing ovation.
I ordered the Bacon Burger, perfectly grilled bun and topped with a ridiculous amount of bacon! However, the burger was overcooked and bland. On a side note, I was charged extra for the mayo, onion and pickle that I asked for on the burger. I always thought those were included. The Apple crisp was a good sized portion. However, it too was bland.
I’d give Tom & Ray’s another shot, I just need to find the right item on the menu. Unfortunately, the burger isn’t it.

It has been 5 months since we first visited Tom and Ray’s and the love affair still continues. Thanks to Mr. Bernie, Ms. Tracie and their staff, we are always excited to drive the 1 hour (one-way) to their restaurant for our Friday night destination. Upon arrival to the restaurant our eyes immediately go to the Specials Board to see what delicious entrees and tantalizing desserts are being offered. If we don’t tell the waitperson what we want for dessert before ordering our entree, usually our choice is wiped off the board – meaning “gone, better luck next time”. Hence, we learned our lesson and order dessert first now. When you see the dessert menu, you can kiss your diet goodbye. The pandemic and Ms. Tracie’s desserts are not helping our waistline. Sorry doc.

Damascus, you domesticated me today with your hospitality. We were driving in the general area when suddenly hunger hit us. Fortunately we found this hidden gem. We were given crispy potato chips with Old Bay seasoning while we waited for our food. They were crispy and delicious. For our starter, we ordered the spicy summer sausage soup. At first sip, my tastebuds exploded. The broth, vegetables and bits of sausages brought me back to the time of the Tang Dynasty, when the fireworks were created. The spices added to the soup enhanced the flavor of the soup but were not overwhelming. I never pass up meatloaf or fried chicken when offered by a restaurant. They also had another favorite of mine, Chef’s Salad. Our side dishes were mash potatoes, green beans, mac & cheese and Sky’s fries.
Let’s talk about the best fried chicken I have ever had in my life. It was light, juicy, fried to a beautiful golden brown, and crispy. What a perfection! The meat loaf with brown gravy was to die for. The Chef’s Salad was dazzling. The side dishes were delightful. Then came dessert: carrot cake. I thought I was floating on the Milky Way. It was so good I thought I was dreaming. What a beautiful way to end a meal. I would also like to point out that their portions are extremely generous. Our waitress, Samm, was delightful, polite and knew the menu. Chefs and the kitchen crew, you must love your job. It certainly shows in your food. Folks, whenever you are in this area, please stop at this restaurant for a pure delight.
