Ray's Hell Burger (Clarendon) [CLOSED]

Burger joint that bustles like a weekend night at the Little Italy pizzeria in Athens, GA (packed).  Robust menu of burger options (wide selection of cheeses and toppings).  We probably should have gone to Ray's Too.  Something to go back for.  We wanted to stick to the original, not the imitator!

To remember:

• "Medium" came out "Medium rare".  "Medium well" was right.
• Oh, and free water ;-)
• CASH ONLY!

Cost
$$ = Casual restaurant price point (think somewhere between Panera and Ruby Tuesday's)

Cleanliness
Clean considering how busy it gets

Service
*** - Average (commendable given the pace)

Pluses 
Big burger!  Flame-broiled!  Cheeses galore!  And bone marrow topping??  Seriously?  A wealth of free toppings too.  Business is good (bad for parking, seating, see below).

Minuses
Parking is TERRIBLE. Finding a table can be a challenge.  Mac-n-cheese: noodles were soggy and one of the SEVEN cheeses was gritty (such promise!).


Overall value
Value-to-price ratio was good for the burger ($8 with cheese).  Fries are good.  Other sides aren't worth the extra cost, though, and can run the tab up quickly.

Definitely the place to go for a great burger.  (NOTE: For those who stumble upon this, yes, we've tried Five Guys.  We like this better.  Deal with it.)
