Stop by Ray’s in the City at 240 Peachtree St, Atlanta, GA 30303 to try the Warm Butter Cake, which is absolutely scrumptious. Goes great with coffee or even a nice, cold glass of water.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Ray’s in the City’s Warm Butter Cake: “Best dinner I’ve had while in Atlanta! Had great cocktails (Lemon Drop Martini), amazing steak and lobster tail, Warm Butter Cake and coffee for dessert. Would order everything again. Highly recommend, five stars! (And Armani was sooo accommodating! Originally had two separate reservations and she was so great to let both groups combine into one. GREAT customer service and also great wait staff.) I wish Ray’s had a location in my hometown in Arkansas!”

The Cinnamon rolls were soft and perfect, especially since there was no icing on them. We had the fried catfish and fried chicken and they were cooked to the perfect crunch. And the peach cobbler was our favorite dessert. Definitely brought me back to my home roots. A must try if you are visiting Atlanta.”
