A traditional wing sauce is made with pepper sauce like Durkee's or Frank's, butter, a touch of vinegar etc. Ray's sauce... more
Here is an update of my previous review of Ray's Place, in which I would like to mention some positive developments. Ray has added some large screen TVs so there are several of them throughout the restaurant. This makes Ray's a very good place to watch sports -- Leafs, TiCats etc. Also Ray's now serves Steam Whistle, and they serve... more
I agree. It is what it is. It's not an overpriced trendy little bistro. They have a great breakfast and the staff is really friendly.
