Best Restaurant in Silver Spring

Ray's The Classics

Other steakhouses go for the pomp and circumstance with their décor and ambiance, says Ray’s General Manager Joseph Nguyen. Ray’s The Classics strives to be a neighborhood restaurant where “the quality is on the plate.”

This cool and understated outpost of restaurateur Michael Landrum recently lowered prices and added more bistro-type items such as sandwiches. But you can still get a “great steak at a great value,” Nguyen says. A filet or New York strip, for example, costs $25.99, including a baked potato and green vegetable.

Meanwhile, Landrum is juggling three other restaurants in the metro area, with plans in the works for three more.
