Business Description
Ray and Geneva Goad opened their first restaurant, about ten years after Ray was discharged from the Navy at the end of WWII. From day-one naturally Dry Cured Blue Ridge Mountain Country Ham was featured on the menu.
He was known far and wide for serving his style of Country Ham with the homemade from scratch southern biscuits his mother made at Rays Starlight Restaurant, in Mount Airy, N.C., the home of Andy Griffith and Mayberry USA.
Ray Goad became an American Fast Food Pioneer with an unsung influence on how most American’s now have breakfast. Ray Goad was the very first to serve his Country Ham and Sausage Biscuits in a fast food restaurant.
You can’t eat at a Rays Kingburger restaurant today, but you can find Ray Goad’s Breakfast Sandwich at fast food restaurants a few blocks from your home all across the USA.
