March into Ray's Restaurants for Sensational Specials

The month of March is here and Ray's Resaurants are giving you plenty of reasons to march into one of their locations. All three Ray's locations - Ray's on the River, Ray's in the City and Ray's at Killer Creek - are bringing back their popular $10 lunch menus. The special $10 lunch menu includes a beverage choice of soft drinks, coffee or tea. Enjoy your Saturday alongside the Chattahoochee River when Ray's on the River opens for lunch on Saturdays at noon beginning March 3. If you're craving fresh seafood, visit the sushi bar for daily sushi specials at Ray's in the City - all prepared by Sudo, the downtown restaurant's full-time sushi chef. Buy one sushi roll, get one half off on weekends in March from 4 p.m. Friday until closing time on Sunday (half off sushi rolls must be of equal or lesser value).

March 1998 Makes a Killer Comeback

And we're not talking about N*SYNC and baby tees. This month marks the 12th anniversary of Ray's Killer Creek in Alpharetta. In March of 1998, Ray's Restaurants (Ray's on the River, Ray's Killer Creek and Ray's in the City) opened the company's Killer Creek outpost to serve Alpharetta residents searching for fresh seafood, prime steaks and award winning wines. Now, there's no better time to check out Executive Chef Danny Frier's cusine and see what has made Ray's Killer Creek an OTP mainstay for more than a decade. The restaurant is open for weekday lunch, nightly dinner and Sunday brunch.

Ray's Killer Creek is located at 1700 Mansell Road, and guests can call 770-649-0064 to make reservations.
