Ray's Delicatessen & Tavern — Restaurant in Petaluma

We have visited this historical neighborhood gem off and on for many years. Rays was first a corner grocery store when we would stop in after school for a snack, for the walk home in the early 70's. Since 2011, stopping in to grab freshly made Deli Sandwiches during the work week. Be sure to say hello to Dimitri behind the Deli case, there is a wonderful Sandwich named after him. Rays Tavern also has a wonderful bar spot where Bartender Tim, can serve you a cold brew. We are now Retired, and excited about the new neighborhood b. Floral * Fresh Bouquets * Home Design* and Gift shop, opening next door this Friday. We have picked up sandwiches lately at Rays and enjoyed the ample outdoor seating. We decided to make Rays Tavern our Sunday or Monday Lunch spot from now on. Great Menu and Service right...

This is the kind of sandwich where you look like a crazy person because you mutter to yourself about how frickin' good it is between...

What ever happened to customer service with a smile? I know they were short staffed but when an order is placed more than an hour before it’s pick up time to be on the counter at 12:30 it should be on the counter at 12:30. Folks that had ordered 45 minutes prior to my pick up time were getting their sandwiches as I sat watching them eat. In all close to 2 hrs to get 3 sandwiches. And the sandwiches were just average, also 1 sandwich was not made to the...
