LUFKIN
Finally made it to the famous Ray’s Drive-In in Lufkin, est November 1959.
Utterly delicious jalapeno cheeseburger totally worth the calories. Hand formed fresh patty, with mayo and a side of thin and crispy onion rings that hold their form until consumed (onions stay put in the casing) They have soft serve ice cream - don’t see that too much any more. Shrimp salads, taco salads, chili dogs, malts, beer, stuffed potatoes your way, all kinds of sandwiches, fried chicken, catfish and shrimp baskets and some things called “tator tot pie, french fry pie, and Texas toothpicks.” Saturday night classic car gatherings.
You can bet I’ll return when in or near Lufkin.
