Found this recommended on google maps when trying to find a lunch stop, glad we stopped. Extremely well kept restaurant. Walk up window to order, no seating inside restaurant however there are benches outside to sit at. Prices are very decent. Highly suggest the lobster roll and onion rings! It was a cute little stop in this beautiful area.

Excellent food and fair prices. The burgers and clam cakes were great. It is take-out only, not a seat in the place. It is called Rapid Ray's, after all. It's got all the atmosphere of a retro cafe: chrome, neon, and the smell of deep-frying oil in the air. It will take you back in time.

Fast food with history. It seems to be an integral part of Biddeford’s food scene going back to the 50s! It’s fast food don’t expect too much more. But it has a charm to it and in a time when chain fast food has become costly, Rapid Ray’s keeps prices impressively low.

Really lives up to it's name, food was freshly made yet ready exceptionally quick, a large order for 4 was ready in under 3 minutes. The food has a classic small town feel to it; I recommend going with the steamed dogs and a side of fries. For drinks they have standard water, soda, and coffee options or if you want to try something more unique you can pick up 8oz cartons of milk (either plain or chocolate) for 1.

Dudes working behind the counter were on point, friendly quick and inviting. Food was top tier for exactly what I needed. First visit made me a lifetime fan.
