REVIEW - Ray's Tavern (Green River, Utah)

On our way home from Moab this weekend, we stopped at Ray's Tavern in Green River. I have heard from many people that Ray's is the place to get a burger after a weekend of mountain biking in Moab or river running down the Green. We were quite hungry after our visit to Dead Horse Point State Park (more later), subsequent off-road experience on Gemini Bridges, and ferocious blowing winds on highway 191 (again, more later but here's a sneak peak at the vicious tumbleweed obstacles).

Ray's is right off the main drag in Green River. The wind was howling when we pulled in - notice the flag.

Neat place with lots of river rafting photos and paraphernalia. I took this photo right before Elmer walked in. He was an older gentleman who opened the door and could not close it behind him because the wind was so strong! He was no stranger here and before he sat in his barstool, a beer was delivered to his seat. It was great to see that in Utah.

We (along with 5 other tables of people) were sitting to the right in this photo in large wooden booths. 

We both ordered bacon cheeseburgers. Holy cow - they were giant!

I forgot to mention that Ray's Tavern has ~10 items on the menu. When you are told they make a mean burger, you should order the burger. The fries were fresh cut and tasty as well. You might as well go all out when you order a burger. In case you are wondering, they do have garden burgers.

Time to dig in!

Rob and I would both recommend without hesitation - stop at Ray's if want a good burger and good ambiance. We only wished we didn't have to get back on the road so we could enjoy a couple beers. Maybe next time.
