49 Best American Restaurants in Delray Beach

“Nice atmosphere, good food and drinks, but absolutely horrendous, and i mean, horrendous, service. Likely the worst ive had in south florida. I refuse to go back. Every step of the experience was painstakingly slow“

“Healthy meets tasty!!! I'll be back again.“

“The food is always delicious and creative!“

“We were three couples having dinner after an afternoon at the movies. We were given a round table, which was very comfortable and easy for us to talk and hear each other. It was also 7:30 pm when we arrived, which is a late time for most patrons in this area surrounded by adult communities. Jake was our waiter who was excellent. We had a few menus to choose from with specials, and I had the Power-bowl with chicken. It was packed with vegetables, sweet potatoes and quinoa. It was a generous portion. I was able to have another meal from the leftovers. Our friends had other salads and appetizers like edamame, and a spinach cheese dip with chips. Paul had the Mongolian beef with broccoli but he thought it was tough and the brown sauce was too salty. The best items to get here would be more classic American fare - the Asian salad, hamburgers etc. It’s a local venue in an upper class plaza which has indoor and outdoor dining options.“

“Always good food and beautiful outside area“

“We took my father here for his 80th birthday brunch last Sunday (he loves a good whiskey drink). We sat on the patio. Gary our server was fantastic! And the manager/owner even made it a point to stop by our table and wish my father a happy birthday. We really appreciate how special you guys made him feel! Thank you so much. 💗“

“Nice restaurant on the intracoastal. Lots of choices for dinner and drinks. I had the maple mustard salmon dish. It was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. My husband had a Caesar Salad with blackened shrimp. The salad was huge, the lettuce was crisp and fresh and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Our server, Jensen, was sweet and took good care of us.“

“Not a thing I didn't love about this local business. Chill vibes, food made all from scratch that will remind ya of home (especially if your from the DMV area), and awesome selection of beers. Service very personable and on point. Go try it out!“

“The food here is fantastic! So is the service generally. Just a shame about the host / manager who was either having a bad day or has serious attitude.
The wine selection is on the higher side, which is a bit annoying, but overall we had a good experience.“

“By far, my favorite spot in Delray Beach 🏝️ The staff are wonderful and the ambience is second to none. I highly recommend!“

“This was our second time celebrating our daughters birthday. The first time was in May celebrating my daughter's 18th and last night we just celebrated my daughter 16th birthday. Our waitress was Tallia and she was fabulous. We had 13 girls at the table last night and we couldn't ask for a better experience . The food was delicious. The staff was was patient and exceed our expectations. The ambiance was absolutely perfect for a 16-year-old and we were so happy. Most importantly, my daughter was happy!! Thank you Hampton Social! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure!!“

“Awesome service! Great atmosphere! Amazing Food!“

“Avalon is a must! Beautiful atmosphere and the bar manager was awesome! 🥂🥂“

“What a great find! Julie was so friendly and helpful. I had the duck which had been recommended by friends. Absolutely amazing! It's a very small restaurant, so definitely make reservations. Just fabulous!“

“Food is amazing, thanks to the chef. Beef tenderloin was delicious with great flavors. Pizza was perfect for someone loving New York style pizza. Staff was always fantastic, Jessica, Kelly, Makayla. John the manager really cares about people and food. Also, open to suggestions. Thanks for making our stay at the opal grand great.“

“Very noisy and crowded but the best Cuban food. Best to get there at 5:30. Outside is too close to the street, noisy there too.“

“Food is great. Drinks are awesome. What is missing is hospitality in service quality. No eye contacts from the server at all. They won't make any gesture to care for your table. A little careless environment as far as serving goes. Everything else is superb but you would love to be served when you dine in especially repeatedly. They don't dare to care.“

“I enjoy the atmosphere and the excellent food along with cocktails“

“Nice sports bar for food and drinks. 👍🏻“

“My wife and I came here for dinner—it was our first time, and we were excited based on what we saw online. The restaurant wasn’t full, which was surprising for a Friday night in Delray, but it’s truly a hidden gem that everyone should know about. The Old Fashioneds were on point, and my wife raved about the lychee martini. I highly recommend the lobster fries—thank me later! Overall, the food and experience were great. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Amazing place and AMAZING STAFF!!! I had my son’s baby shower here for brunch and it was great! This staff is unbelievable!! They were on point with everything and made sure my event was nothing but perfect!!! Thank you all so much! ❤️❤️“

“Such an incredible dining experience today at the bar with our bartender Phillip. The GM Jonas has made this place amazing! The food was outstanding! The drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was filled with good energy! We love it there and highly recommend the espresso martinis!“

“So Big and Fresh. The BEST I've had since my trip to Maine last summer! Worth Every Cent!“

“A-One grapefruit, great atmosphere, friendly staff“

“Love their ribs & burgers & salads & cocktails! Highly recommended! Always bring the family when in town & they always look forward to our meal. Great, friendly & competent service.“

“Excellent service by Lia last evening. Food is always delicious. Sunday is the bargain time to go for $7 wine by the glass and second entree half off. We both chose the tuna, which was plentiful, rare and had a wasabi sauce. DH was happy with the vegetable fried rice and i was so pleased gto swap that for the spaghetti squash. It was a very nice evening.“

“Food absolutely delicious. Service fantastic!!“

“I absolutely love this place. The live music was undeniably phenomenal. I had the fish tacos and they were some of the best I’ve ever had (Florida always has the best, most fresh fish you could ever find). The musicians performing the night I attended were playing a lot of old school music, which I am a huge fan of! The atmosphere was to die for; everyone was up dancing and having a great time! I had a few non-alcoholic beers and they were reasonably priced! My waiter Kyle was fantastic! The food came out fast, the music was great, and the service was excellent! If you ever make your way to Delray Beach, this absolutely MUST be one of your stops!“

“Been to the "Turtle" many, many times for a few years now. Same experience every time. Great owner, great bartenders, great patrons & delicious food. I recommend everyone stop in and check it out.“

“Friendly and attentive staff.“

“Hot new spot, great atmosphere, food, service, and drinks. Shout out to Nick, best server EVER,“

“Really great spot! We went for happy hour with our baby and just had appetizers and drinks and they were wonderful and accommodating. We will definitely be back again very soon😊“

“Delicious food, lively atmosphere and great service!“

“Love these meals. Good prices too!“

“My friends and I come in every Wednesday evening. The manager ALWAYS comes out to make sure everything is good. They are always accommodating and know must of us by name now. We look forward to seeing them every week. The food is always phenomenal.“

“I Love this place💞 Food is very good & I really enjoy the strawberry mimosas. Nice, friendly host & waiters. You🫵🏽 should go💞“

“Great music and atmosphere. Food is great!“

“I am a die hard fan of Mariannes. They're closed for the summer and you can't request sandwiches after 2pm but never will I not jump at the chance to get me a Turkey Club on rye. The staff is great and friendly, the food is fresh and delicious, and it makes me so happy just being inside the tiny store. Forget Joseph's and head to Marianne's“

“Elevate Skye Bar is worth the trip even if you don’t drink, eat, or talk to another human being, it’s that good just for the views and ambiance. Honestly, I felt like I should’ve paid an admission fee just to sit there and stare at the skyline like a tourist who accidentally wandered into luxury. The vibe? Chill enough to relax, classy enough to impress a date, and just the right amount of bougie so you feel cooler than you actually are. Even the cocktails taste better when you’re sipping them closer to the moon. If you’re in Delray and skip this place, that’s like going to Italy and skipping the pasta. Do yourself a favor go for the views, stay for the atmosphere, and maybe leave with a couple of pictures that make your friends think you’ve “made it.”“

“We had the best meal tonight with our family at Longhorns. We’ve dined in all the best steakhouses in New York City and we had our doubts coming here, but my dad insisted because he loves this place and always eats here whenever he’s in Florida so we went along to indulge him. Boy were we happily surprised. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The portions were generous. The pores were generous as well, and our Scooter was so attentive and accommodating. I cannot have gluten and he was able to suggest the shrinpnappetizer grilled instead of breaded which was delicious! We really couldn’t ask for more and we will definitely be making this a regular spot on the few times a year that we’re here.“

“Food is always delicious and the service is great“

“Nicholas was our waiter and he was the Best! 😊👍🏾Accommodated us very well and we have a great time with a oceanic view of Delray Beach.“

“Great hot pastrami and potato pancakes“

“Took my dad here for Father’s Day brunch and it everything was fantastic even food was delicious.“

“This is my second time coming here. First time, I had some issues with how long it took to get my burger and it not being cooked to what I requested. The ladies at the bar apologized and they made sure I left a happy customer. I decided to give it another try. The bartender (Ava) who I had the first time waited on me again along with Ellie. She remembered me from the first time. Everything came out perfectly and quick. I’m happy I gave them another shot. Happy that this will be my new local bar spot. Thanks ladies 😊“

“Four at a booth at the Delray Beach Florida location for 5PM Dinner. Hostess Jill was exemplary; terrific personality along with her welcoming smile. Gracious and kind to our two elderly parents. The appetizers and meal were good. Worth the price. A small mixup on one of the side veggies was no big deal. Our waiter Erik was adequate. Should have done a better job clearing the dirty dishes from the table when we completed our meals, and never offered to refill our water glasses. This was reflected in his tip. Would have given 5 stars if not for this.“

“Me encanta es súper para pasar momentos felices“

“Christine was an amazing attendant. My wife and I showed up with our 4 and 6 yr old, who were full of energy. She spoke with the kids and made us all feel welcome, her energy and positive attitude was the cherry on top. My son even felt comfortable enough to order directly from her, which is rare, I highly recommend Christine and will be coming back to her on all our visits.“

“Used to be my favorite theater now it’s a place I only go for IMAX. Even then there are bugs flying around in a couple of films in IMAX. Lights left on during a movie. Items on menu not available. Hope this changes I liked this theater when run properly. Update: went back seemed better, didn’t order any food.“
