Specialties: As Maine's original fast food take out, we specialize in hamburgers, cheeseburgers, steamed hot dogs, lobster rolls, french fries, onion rings and speedy service. Rapid Ray's has been an award winning restaurant and historic landmark in Saco for over half a century. Stop by today and see for yourself Established in 1953. Ray started his humble business in 1953, selling burgers out of an old bread truck as a part time job. During the day, Ray was a meat cutter at the local grocery store and at night he drove his van to Pepperell Square. He sold burgers until two a.m., serving the late night and early morning crowd.
Back in the 1960's, even on the coldest of winter nights, the kids from St. Francis College (now the University of New England) visited "Ray's Lunch Van." These Franciscans fondly called Ray's truck the "Garbage Wagon," meeting there to get a tasty snack off campus after dances, concerts and football games. They shivered in the night air and watched in awe as Ray's quick hands got their orders out in a matter of minutes. As Don Camire remembers, that is where his father's catchy name came from, "A bunch of kids would come in all the time, then they just said, 'Ray is Rapid!' and they started calling him 'Rapid Ray.' So Rapid Ray just stuck."
