A New Champion is Crowned!
On my way from Amelia Island to Jacksonville today Sherelene and I stopped for lunch at place she has been wanting me to try! T-Ray’s Burger Station. It was named in an article in U.S.A. Today as the best burger in Florida, so you know I had to check it out, I’ll save you the suspense! I have a new Number One Burger in America! Why has it jumped over all the other great burgers? First you don’t get in the top ten if you don’t meet every criteria I’ve laid down! This burger had it all, juicy meat, toasted bun, American cheese, cooked just right, medium, but what it had that few others have, is the way the meat was spiced, this burger was just wonderful, and the spices made it! T-Rays was a service station and then they installed a grill, am I ever glad they did! Terrell Ray the 1st started it off, then he was then joined by his son Terrell Ray the 2nd and this summer Terrell Ray II’s son Terrell Ray the 3rd is home from school and and has joined the family. What a delight to eat a burger from a three generations place! By the way the sign hanging in the place from the gas stations days below is a riot! And true!
The family are big Georgia Bulldog fans and the place is replete with great Georgia memorabilia. Lots of signed pictures from famous customers! If you’re ever in Amelia Island and don’t stop and T-Rays, shame on you. One thing is for sure, your not going to get a better burger anywhere near here!
Enjoy the images from this great, friendly, place with outrageously good burgers! Thanks guys, you made my day!
Left to right T Ray II, T Ray III, T Ray I and the pilgrim.
Even a Georgia Bulldog couldn’t wrestle this burger out of my hands! Way to go T-Rays, the new Champions! Oh and the great fries, I call them cross tie fries were extra special!
I may not eat again, for a couple of days!

Aw, man!!! I liked it better when Texas had the champion burger. But I have to congratulate the Ray’s. If Bill Fortney says you make the best burger in the world, it must be so. How fun that it was Sherelene that recommended stopping. Way to go Sherelene! Love the photos, Bill.
Sherelene is a valuable asset!
Great article, Bill. Enjoyed sharing the experience with you today. Way to go T-Rays! Their chicken and dumplings are about the best around also.
Diane, thanks for the great tour of Amelia ,a great break from work!
Bulldog fans in The Sunshine State – Come On Man, that’s just not right. 🙂
I’m going to have to add that one to my bucket list.
Well, Amelia Island is pretty close to the Georgia state line!
Easily the Greatest Burger in the south (do not want to give Ray the big head by saying the country) but EVERYTHING else especially the grits are the best this old southerner has ever had, only surpassed by the atmosphere and hospitality of the entire crew at T-Rays, my favorite place bar none.
Jerry, you’re my kinda guy and I couldn’t agree more, as great as the burger is, the Rays are even better!
Way to go T.Ray… we locals have always known it is the best burger.. also great fried (local) shrimp. You need to try them next time you stop by. Congrats TRay, your burgers ROCK….Sean needs to immortalize you in song
The entire experience was great, can’t wait to get back! May be Saturday!
Bulldogs, Hotdogs, Wiener Dogs, who cares!!! There’s a Bill Fortney rated #1 burger in my backyard!!!! I am there!!!
Ian, thanks for the vote of confidence, look forward to eating there with you.
So did the T-Ray’s burger peg the pickle scale at 5.0?
