Any one craving a Ray's King Burger? Who remembers them?

I enjoyed breakfast there more than once.

I remember

Where was it located?

Wasn’t it somewhere around where the oil well , oil change place is. In those days it was Hardee’s only competition.

Someone told me it was at the entrance to the mall area and that it was one of the worst burgers ever, but if you got back safely from Blowing Rock without a DUI, you might be desperate enough to stop there cause it was about the only place open late.

I have no idea, it was before my time, but that's the review he wanted me to give for him.

I loved them. Much better than Hardees, Mickey Dees, BK, etc. of today.

They had country ham , eggs , grits and toast for $1.99.

Big E’s for late night burgers and dogs.

unfortunately yes. I do miss a Yogi's Turkey Grinder, Buck's biscuit and Holly Farms Taters.....

Wasn’t Richard Petty a big backer of Rays?

Sofields secret Yogis sauce was a difference maker.

Ray's King Burger was where Bojangles is now. Beside Wendy's

I remember the one in Boone from my childhood.

Still the best subs I have ever eaten.

Picture from FB wouldn't copy:
My memories of growing up in Yadkin County in the 60's wouldn't be complete without Ray's King Burger!
Started in 1964 by Ray Goad in Mt Airy and by the mid 70's they were close to 40 restaurants NC, SC, VA, and Tenn.
Ray pioneered the first early morning breakfast menu in his restaurants and the TV commercials with Richard Petty can be found of YouTube.
We loved our Ray's and would visited the one in Jonesville NC. I swear those burgers were as big of pie plates to us kids.
