Wow the appetizers here are amazing! Their entrees are good--I recommend their salmon--but the apps completely blew me away. Especially the crab dip. I would come back just to order that again. Also, the rolls, conch fritters, and asparagus were delicious! Their happy hour is such a good deal too! read more

Disappointed Racks is closing, tomorrow is the last evening. We got here at 5:30 and we were told that the wait was over an hour. It seems that Gary Racks does not own the building and the lease is up. Nobody knows what's coming in. I've never seen crowds like this. read more

Went here for happy hour and the list was pretty good . Ended up getting a cocktail - margarita strawberry and oysters . All were really reasonable and good . The area has some nice happy hours and this for sure is one. I checked out the dinner menu for future references and decided I'll definitely be back to try dinner here . The menu is quite big and has a pretty wholesome selection. The place was nice and clean and service was friendly . The ambience was also very nice and relaxing . Was able to catch up with some friends while enjoying good food . I'll be back for sure . read more

Had been craving for some oysters lately and this place is just five minutes away from my house. They have a really good happy hour from 4 to 7 and they have variety of free fish seafood fried. Any option that you like. I don't know what type of voice these were but they were bigger than the last time I came, which is good they were brainy. I really really like them. Lobster tots were really good. Maybe a little bit more salt in the potatoes, but it was Honestly Really good and fulfilled. The craving also had a salmon fried roll on the side, but it didn't make to the picture, but it was really good. I would add a little bit more of maybe an avocado or some mango will definitely go come back for the oysters. we sat at the bar and it was a really cool spot and the service was good to be a Tuesday night. read more

Came here for happy hour on a week night. It was easy to get a seat by the bar. I really enjoyed their happy hour food menu options! Plus, they had half off drinks as well. Would highly recommend if you're in the Atlantic Ave area during happy hour time. I believe it ends at 7pm. We had a bunch of their food items and all were yummy. The lobster risotto was very flavorful but filling. Would recommend sharing it with people if you want to save room for other foods. We also had the fried zucchini/calamari, oysters, fish tacos, and tuna nachos and more that I probably forgot about. read more

Ate at Racks for lunch. Nice choices on the menu. Oysters were very fresh. Tuna nachos could have used some salt or an additional flavoring. Chicken sandwich was excellent. Shrimp sandwich was tasty but would recommend they either grill the shrimp with additional seasoning or use fried shrimp, Audrey our server was excellent, friendly and accommodating. The restaurant has a nice vibe. read more

At Racks, I typically order oysters and wine, but this time I tried the lobster risotto and a lychee martini. We ordered fish tacos for the table and the tempura shrimp. The fish was burnt and the shrimp was bland. The risotto was fantastic, though the martini felt watered down, earning a 7/10. I enjoyed the meal, but I'll return for my usual oysters soon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While I sensed a dip in quality, the attentive service and pleasant outdoor setting made up for it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lively bar scene added to the experience![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Five lifelong friends met up in Delray for a much-needed long weekend, and we had a great time catching up over cocktails and good food. The drinks were tasty, the food hit the spot, and the vibe was just right for a casual, relaxed evening. The real standout, though, was our waitress, Jordan. She was absolutely fantastic--super friendly, on top of everything, and just had a great way of making us feel welcome without being over the top. She handled our group with ease and a great sense of humor, and honestly, she was a big part of what made the night memorable. If you get the chance, ask for Jordan--you'll be in excellent hands! read more

I was looking for a place in delray to take my parents to for dinner, and had not been to Racks in a very long time so we decided to go there for dinner. I absolutely love the ambiance of this place, and the ability to sit outside and people watch - albeit the table felt too cramped and close to the seats, lacking comfort. The food was good and nicely balanced. Their fish was a but under seasoned, however the accompaniments carried plenty of flavor to make up for it. The server was really friendly, prompt and she kept checking in on us regularly which was perfect. Really enjoyed it. It is a solid place to go to. read more

Delicious food and great staff. Staff told me the chef creates new specials weekly. A favorite whenever we are in Delray.

Was really looking forward to our meal here after walking past a couple times and it being in the perfect location. However, all three food items we ordered were extremely cold. They were then placed back in the broiler and were returned to us charred read more

We had a fantastic birthday celebration at Racks Fish House in Delray Wednesday night. Alissa our server was so kind and wonderful at her job. The 5 of us arrived at happy hour - great drink specials and fun bar menu! We had oysters, deviled eggs with crab meat, yuzu shrimp, truffle fries, a rack of ribs, Caesar salad, French onion burger, steamed mussels and 2 Dragon rolls! Everything was spectacular!!! Last year we visited Fl and met a friend at Racks. She insisted we get the Dragon roll. It is a Tempura Maine lobster sushi roll (see the picture). Being from Cape Cod I was skeptical about getting Maine lobster in FL. The Dragon Roll was so amazing (better than any we have had in New England) that we made sure we were back this year for my birthday and reserved 2 Dragon rolls and OMG they were even better than I remembered. We had the greatest time. Every bite was delicious, the drinks were great, Alissa made the night extra special, and the happy hour pricing was a special surprise. The manager was so kind and served the cake with candles (we forgot ours). Such a memorable evening! Thank you Alissa and Racks! read more

We were staying in Delray Beach on a Wednesday night and decided to make a reservation at this restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was very full, so we were seated inside as opposed to outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was still very good. We tried the Calamari appetizer to start our meal. It came with calamari, fried zucchini, and a tasty remoulade sauce. For our entrees, we had the blackened grouper and a lobster roll. The blackened grouper was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of spice. It was served over delicious cilantro rice, along with fried plantains. The lobster roll was served hot in a butter sauce. The side was the sweet potato wedges served with miso caramel, smoked yogurt, and cranberry chimichurri. A truly delicious side. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. read more

As many times as I have been to Delray Beach, I do not know how I have missed this wonderful restaurant. Everything was on point tonight. The charred octopus was tender and well seasoned, the oysters were fresh, both were from the Happy Hour menu and went perfectly with half price wine and beer. We both got Groupers for dinner and it might be the best Grouper dinner we have had in a long time. Service here was attentive and friendly. Location was fantastic in that we were just around the corner from Atlantic Avenue so can watch the scenery without the crowds brushing by our dinner table all night. Can't wait to come back here again. read more

Being right along Atlantic Avenue, there are so many great places to dine at! So many different seafood options along the strip and Racks Fish House stood out as a great option for a seafood itch. I wanted a variety of options to see if it really lived up to how good it looked. First, I tried the steamers. It was presented beautifully still steaming from the kitchen. It also came with rolls to dip in the sauce. The portion size was better than I was expecting and I would certainly order it again. Then I tried the 1/2 shell clams which were served with cocktail sauce. These were raw and tasty as well. To top it off, I ordered the fried oysters. These were fried perfectly to where it didn't completely remove the taste of the oysters, but a very unique take on oysters none the less. It also came with a unique sauce for dipping. I would order everything again next time I visit. This is a great choice if you are undecided about what to eat when walking along Atlantic Avenue with an appetite read more

Very nice experience. Great oysters, even better service. Loved sitting outside and watching the Atlantic foot traffic. Will go again.

Tried this place for happy hour today. Grabbed a 2-top inside quickly. Started with the fish dip (it was okay; too wet for our liking & a bit bland). Wife had the Venus roll (she said it was good; very fresh and well rolled). I tried the oyster Po Boy (disappointed - oysters were non-existent, not juicy and were fried in a sweet bar-b-que sauce not remoulade). Thankfully happy hour was 50% off entire food and drinks. Blackberry margaritas were okay. Only recommend for happy hour - pricey outside of that read more

During Covid Racks was charging a 3% service charge on top of your check; 2 years later the fee is up to 6%. The Bartender when asked said, "if we post the fee, we can charge it." The fee is listed in very small type on the bottom of the restaurants menu. Previously I read that Racks used covid to justify the fee; now they say it's in leu of raising prices. I wonder why they are not readily upfront about it. https://bocanewsnow.com/2020/06/10/coronavirus-delray-restaurant-charging-covid-fee-let-us-know-if-you-see-others/ If you come here for happy hour, you will see that when you pay, the restaurant gives suggested tips based on the idea of what the happy hour fare would cost if it were full price. In a lot of places, this can be perceived as a deceptive business practice. While the food is decent, the tactics of this restaurant has made me decide to boycott. read more

This is a delivery review I ordered the Octopus at $26 and received one small tentacle in three pieces with butter nut squash chunks At this price, I am embarrassed for them! It's also not charred well, soggy and fishy smelling. All around awful. The brussels that I ordered as a side are also undercooked and covered in this fishy yellow mayo. Gross. This is sad because Racks can be great in person but now they are on my list of restaurants who do not care about their delivery customers to the point of offending. So frustrating. read more

Friday Night Happy Hour! Delicious food, but prices didn't seem like Happy Hour. Shrimp Tempura Sushi Roll was my favorite of my samplings. Fish dip needed some sliced veggies for dipping rather than tortilla chips. Octopus is challenging to critique. It had a great smokey flavor but was not amazing. Portion was small, needed something to give it some pizzaz.. Service was excellent. We sat at the sushi bar. read more

I'm not sure which was worse, the food or the service. Once we were seated our waiter seemed friendly, however as the night went on he became brash and impatient. I got the wrong drink and by the time I got the correct drink order there were TWO gnats in my drink. Secondly, we'd ordered an appetizer which never came then once I had asked for it to be taken off of our check, the attitude from the waiter was very evident. Lastly once I got my meal, I'd ordered the sea bass, it was hard and difficult to chew and the broccolini was hard and inedible. I'd accepted that this just wasn't a place I would be willing to visit in the future. read more

Nasty Manager could not be reasoned with when she new we were there in time for the early bird.

Feast on $1 oysters at Racks everyday during happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. plus half off wine, beer, and some cocktails. Make sure to try the Mahi Mahi tacos; served with avocado aoili and jalapeños. The serving was surprisingly large for only $12. The Osyters and Cocktail Shrimp were fresh and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised at how well Racks does BBQ . The ribs fell right off the bone ($14 with beans) and the sauce was sweet and smokey! Other popular menu items on the happy hour include Shells & Cheese with goldfish crumbs ($8), Truffle Parm Fries ($8), Filet tips ($14) and Shrimp Dynamite ($14.) read more

burnt over fried shrimp, extremely surly waitress, poor service, slow. Really made for a really bad night.

Too bad cause we live in the neighborhood and was hoping for a better experience read more
