Was able to catch up with some friends while enjoying good food . I'll be back for sure . ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ The happy hour at racks is one of the best in Delray. You must get the oysters!!!They are amazing. The French onion burger might be one of the best in the country. ”
“ 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! ”
“ What can I say? We have eaten here before and it always is a good dining experience. Located in the heart of Delray and currently they have a daily Happy Hour on just about everything till 6:30. ”
“ 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. While I sensed a dip in quality, the attentive service and pleasant outdoor setting made up for it. The lively bar scene added to the experience! ”
“ Another delicious meal at Racks. We started by sharing a wedge salad with delicious blue cheese dressing, tomato, jam, and bacon. We shared a dozen assorted oysters thatwe're a wow. My Spicy JB sushi roll hit the spot. the Hugo spritz was perfect with lots of fresh mint. A delicious dinner and it was nice to sit outside under the fan because it wasn't too warm. Service is always impeccable. ”
“ I went with a friend we sat at the bar. The bartender was excellent, engaging and was super helpful with the menu. We started with the crab dip. I had the blackened grouper which was excellent with the accompaniments it came with rice and beans. My friend had the salmon said it was delicious. I am looking forward to going back in a couple of weeks ”
