Bailey Ray’s

We went with another couple on a Friday night. We have a goal of trying one new restaurant a month. The sign outside says it’s worth the drive. I’m not so sure. The special was a bacon wrapped filet mignon which I ordered medium to medium well, slightly pink. It was shoe leather. Even the bacon! No flavor. It was very disappointing. 2 in our party ordered the prime rib sandwich. They were ok but more bun than burger. Another ordered the smoked chicken and he liked it, very juicy not a sting smoke flavor but good. I had homemade clam chowder soup and that was very tasty. Our service was ok. My glass came with lipstick on it but was quickly exchanged for a clean glass. We enjoyed the acoustics as there were many people there and yet we could visit comfortably at our table. We drove about 40 miles to get to this place and we don’t feel we would make the drive again. But if you are close or happen to be in the neighborhood it would be worth a try. Just don’t order steak!

I love Bailey Ray’s. Their food is excellent, good atmosphere, great service. Their prime rib on weekends is some of the best I’ve ever had.

This restaurant/​bar in small town Minnesota is family-​owned with signature specialties. Ray smokes his own ribs and chicken, makes his own BBQ sauce (so delicious!), bread their own very tasty onion rings and make a killer Bloody Mary, complete with a beef stick. Their burgers are great! And I always hear people talking about the pizza. It’s small town atmosphere, with co-​ed volleyball all summer and bean bags through the winter. They have meat raffles on Sundays and throw in a band once in a while. We love this place!

There food is great, don’t get me wrong. But goddamn, there service sucks! I’m local and would drive farther for better service.

Food is great. Atmosphere is perfect the family that owns it is fun friendly and they truly make the place. A must try are their onion rings and pizzas. And any of their nightly specials are fantastic!

Absolutely wonderful! The good was amazing, the service was super friendly and really great and making sure we had everything we needed. We are all riding home with our bellies incredibly full! Had the 6 oz sirloin and it was FANTASTIC! It was seasoned perfectly and I didn’t even need to use sauce, and I am the type of person who puts sauce on steak every time. I was barely even able to eat my steak though because we got the onion rings and the mushrooms as an appetizer and they were so delicious that I filled up on those! Everything was great, I can’t say enough good things! I will definitely be back over and over again! Yum :)

Great spot in the middle of nowhere. I had the half rack of ribs… All I can say is excellent!!! My wife had the prime rib sandwich that was very good also. Great homemade soups… excellent friendly and prompt service. Highly recommend this place… we will be back.

This is my favorite breakfast place, nothing fancy just normal breakfast food. Service has always been prompt and coffee is good.

If you don’t like your burgers well done and dry, don’t go there. After spending no more than 2 minutes looking at the menu, I decided to get a burger (there really wasn’t anything good on the menu at all). So I ordered a bacon cheese burger, with cheddar cheese, they don’t have cheddar, seems strange to me. I ordered it medium rare, the waitress gave a nasty look on here face and said «I can put in on the ticket, but I don’t know if they can do that.» I said, why not? Cant they cook things to temperature? «I don’t think anyone has ever asked for that before.» said the waitress. Well it was well done and dry, disgusting.

I really love this place. The food is great. They batter their own shrimp, onion rings etc. (yum!!!). If you bring the family for breakfast or lunch you can sit in a separate area away from the main bar. They had games and coloring books for my kids. Did I mention the food was good? Last time we ate there hubby and I had a prime rib special and I was blown away at how delicious everything was. I hope hubby brings us back for mothers day again next year!!!
The service has been friendly and fast the 3 times I have been here.
