    The restaurant is just ok in my opinion but I was meeting a friend here who I hadn't seen in a long time. It was happy hour so they 'let us have happy hour' outside which they said they don't normally do...The parking here is atrocious so I had to go to a meter and park. This is one of the reasons why I don't go here any more. I don't want to spend another $20 on parking when I'm going out for a drink. Of course that it is nice to see the ocean from there but still!

    My friends & I sat outside on the patio, enjoying a breezy evening. At the outset I'll say that our server, Maddie, was excellent. Prompt, Efficient and Attentive. The food, however, left much to be desired. We started with appetizers consisting of Nachos and 2 orders of peel & eat Shrimp. The Nachos were tasty. The Shrimp was just ok. I would have preferred the shrimp being de-veined before being cooked. It's just not appealing to peel Shrimp and having to dig out the vein. For dinner, I had the Fish & Chips. The fish was just ok, as were the fries. The Cole Slaw was inedible, tasting like a dish of vinegar, earning a 2 Star rating. My friends were equally unimpressed with their dinner. The Surf & Turf was just acceptable, with the steak being a little tough. He gave his dinner 3 Stars. My other friend had Grilled Salmon with veggies and slaw. She said the Salmon was rather bland, the slaw too vinegary, but the veggies were tasty. Also a 3 Star vote. For dessert, we had Key Lime Pie and some other Chocolate pastry, both tasty, but no Awards here. As the photos show, all was attractively presented, but I had hoped for a more satisfying experience for my visiting friends. I can't comment on the ambiance because I did not go inside the restaurant.

    The Boston's on the beach is so awesome and friendly casual ambiance with both inside and outside seating or just sit at the bar and look around the room with all of the sports memorabilia from the Boston Red Sox Boston Celtics and the Boston Bruins from Ted Williams to Bill Russell and Bobby Orr pictures of all of them Tom Brady as just very cool. As the service the waitress was very friendly and polite pleasant was a pleasure meeting her. She is from The Ukraine and so blessed to be here in America considering what's going on back in her country. Got the Fish and chips it was very good came with French fries and coleslaw just add a little bit of ketchup and you will like it more.

    Haven't been here in years And we were taking a walk up Atlantic Avenue and decided to come in for lunch Located on Ocean Boulevard it's going to be one of your closest places to eat near the beach. There's not really an ocean view, they call it beachfront, but if you go upstairs, I think you can get a water view. Bistro style tacos - come three to an order. I was asked if I wanted grilled or blackened chicken. I ordered blackened chicken, but it actually came out grilled which was fine. They were very good comes with a smoky chipotle aïoli and pico served on soft flour tortillas. Grilled chicken cabana - grilled chicken sandwich topped with smoked applewood, bacon, pepper, jack cheese, and lettuce and tomato. Our server asked if we wanted french fries or mango slaw. We actually ordered mango slaw, but it came with french fries they were quick to fix the error. I have to to say this was a great sandwich. Food was excellent service was just a little slow and off. But that's to be expected any place on the beach.

    4 /5 Stopped by Boston's on the Beach for drinks and appetizers after noticing the Sandbar next door was packed. We ordered calamari, fries, and wings -- while they weren't as hot as we'd hoped, the flavor was still solid. The service really stood out -- attentive, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable. Overall, it's a great spot with a relaxed vibe, and we'd definitely come back again.

    A fun dog menu.

    Awesome drinks, great view. Also had wings and calamari, both were delicious. Even better my pup got to enjoy the view with me. The server delivered her a bowl of water. And the manager checked in on me.

    Key West Platter
    Autumn K.

    Boston's is super convenient when you're having a beach day in Delray. It's super casual and gives a nice beach twist on a sports bar. I had the key west platter, which included fish, conch fritters, shrimp, and fries. The tartar sauce was nice and tangy and paired really well with the fish. The fish was flakey and fried perfectly. The conch fritters were kind of creamy on the inside, but had a good flavor. The pina colada was a perfect balance of coconut and pineapple and had a thinner consistency. Prices were okay, but it's really convenient and the service is quick!

    Beautiful view of the ocean and nice outdoor patio bar and tables. The happy hour menu is good but the service was terrible. Took for ever to get waited on and then we never saw the waiter again had to ask other waiters.We were there over two hours just to have a drink and a couple appetizers.

    Close to beach

    Nothing special about this lunch. The 3 tacos were decent, but served with nothing? Not even chips for $16 and they were very small as well. The pricey drink wasn't too refreshing and the chicken tenders were very frozen in quality. Fries were good. Boston accents not good.

    Clam Roll w mango cole slaw
    Lisa H.

    We joined family members one afternoon to try out Bostons. We had all been there many years ago and enjoyed some of the nostalgia from way back when. It was a little hike across the bridge where we parked to walk avenue, but there was also parking at the beach and valet parking for the restaurant should we have chosen to do that. We were greeted and seated promptly and our server took our drink order immediately. The menu had a lot of nice choices. We chose to sit outdoors as our table faced the ocean. It was a beautiful clear view between people and cars driving by and the weather was perfect for outdoor seating. I saw the clam roll listed on the menu and that got my attention right away. They were tender whole fried soft shell clams with a nice breading . The dish came with a side of Cole slaw with mango pieces. Others had the grouper sandwich and burgers. We were all satisfied with our choices. I will be sure and go back for the clam roll again!

    Yummy! We ate outside and loved the ambiance. The service was great. The food was great. The smell of the ocean was just great! We even went inside to have a drink at the bar. Loved the lobster bisque soup! That's my favorite!

    Best restaurant and cocktails!!! Love the blackened Mahi-mahi it's perfect. I've been coming to Boston's since 2002!

    Coconut shrimp.  Tasty!  Sorry about the "after" photo.  About ten shrimp total.

That being said the staff there is so rude. It basically ruined the entire experience. I made a last-minute reservation online and there were tons of spaces left. I had a bit of a drive to get there and I actually got there much sooner than I expected. I thought it would be better to make a later reservation rather than an earlier one which I might be late for. However, I got there a good 15 minutes early before my reservation. There were lots of seats, but the hostess was so snobby. She told me since I was early she would see me closer to my reservation. Closer... I'm only 15 minutes early so you're gonna see me at the time of the reservation? Meanwhile, I could've booked something for 15 minutes earlier thought it was available. So I stood there and waited with lots of empty tables until finally. It was the time of my reservation and magically one of those tables that have been open. They finally sat at. Excited to be able to eat... The waitress comes over who is also extremely rude. She starts telling me that I'm in her way to do her job. I'm not doing anything I just sat down. She later pseudo apologizes, but not really. Ultimately, she could've found a much nicer way to address the issue she was having. Or since there were plenty of open tables, maybe she could've asked the hostess to put us in a different section but now I had this waitress all evening. She was running around a little frantic and seemed a little flustered, even though there weren't that many people there so I don't know. The look of the place is kind of charming, but the rudeness of the entire staff kind of ruins it. But I go back? Maybe. The food wasn't amazing, but it is a local spot and it was good enough to return to- but certainly would have to keep in mind that the service does really take it down two or three notches.

The Ave has grown significantly around it over the years, but it's still one of the staple restaurants in a central location. Overall, it was great meal with good service and nice atmosphere. It's sill one of the gems. We started with the wedge salad and cheesy bread. We wanted to get the Filet Mignon and the Prime Cut Ribeye to share them, but they were out of the Filet which was a bit surprising. Instead, we got the Crispy Chicken Piccata. They were both excellent. The fingerlings and asparagus were good and loved the red wine sauce. The crispy chicken was not too heavy, with lemon and an ample arugula salad. I don't remember the name of desert, but it was a combo of a browny with an Oreo cookie layer (which the kid in me couldn't refuse) with a scoop vanilla ice cream. It was great.

We ended up liking the classic more just because the fresh ingredients were reminiscent of those we had in Mexico. It was a little too warm out to be doubling down on spice in our drinks too. We ordered a brisket quesadilla and for our tacos: carnitas, chorizo, and crispy fish. For our second round (not pictured), my husband tried the spicy chicken. He was warned the spicy chicken is exceptionally spicy but he didn't think that warning was warranted so maybe don't be afraid to try it if you're not big on spice.
