Ray's On The River

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 (not all riverside views are created equal), Ray’s is a dependable choice for upscale seafood. From Sunday brunch to dinner, you’ll see a merger of crowds—from corporate peeps 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 barbecue shrimp on a cheesy grit cake.
