Over 60 years later, the customers may have changed but the restaurant hasn't. It still resembles a 1950s diner with its nostalgic decor. The "cruise nights" are when devoted customers from the 1950s and the newer customers congregate in the parking lot with their vintage cars to discuss the "good old days."
Must bring application in person to 800 SW Blue Parkway

"Great American Diner. Clean and welcoming. It's small with booths and an awesome counter. Simple but great menu. Cooked as you wait. Drive through rocks also. We did both. The Steak Burgers, fries 🍟 😋 🍔 and shakes are fantastic. I highly recommend. I have over 15 million views on my reviews. We give Johnny Rays Drive In 5 stars."

I've been coming here since I was a kid with my dad. He has now passed and now me and my wife try to stop in every chance we get. Glad this place is still open. Great food and friendly staff.
