RACKS Fish House & Oyster Bar, Delray Beach FL

Excellent service and food. Chill vibe and atmosphere. Day boat scallops were to die for, perfectly cooked, with corn and black bean succotash, bridesmaids and candied bacon. Millionaire mac cheese with lots of shrimp and super creamy mac shells. The crab cake is great but a little small. The popcorn scallops are tasty.

I have been here twice in the last month. It's so AMAZING! I get the sushi every time. It's a wonderful place to come alone. Being a single woman in my 40's I eat out alone alot and this is a safe and perfect place for that. The service is awesome, the food is 20/10 and it's located in a perfect spot. Thanks Racks Fish House for an amazing experience every time.

We normally enjoy the food and happy hour at Racks and we come pretty often Because service is great and the food is always consistent. Generally, we come for the peach tree oysters because they're delicious. We also like the steamers, the mac and cheese, and the Caesar salad. Today, was the first bad experience we've had there. The oysters were shucked very sloppy and you could find pieces of shells in the oysters. We did not have one whole oyster as they were all marred from the shucking. One of our friends ended up choking very badly on the shell. The clams were also very sandy today which we have never experienced. We brought it up to one of the wait staff and he said he would tell the manager so that it would not happen to someone else. Our fried food was also very soggy today.

Went for dinner on a weekend and we were delightfully surprised - it wasn’t nearly as busy as we thought it would be. Got in and out pretty quickly, service was decent and the food was pretty good. We got the lobster rolls and had the millionaire Mac n cheese appetizer. I’m not a big fan of truffle, but it was light enough on the Mac that I really enjoyed it. Nice spot for a no-fuss meal

I love this place. Especially at happy hour. But the music playlist on this day was outrageous. A mix of punk rock and heavy metal head banging music. I’m 58 and couldn’t stand it. I asked the manager about it and he just shrugged and said “it’s a mix”.
Well, the mix sucks.
Food, drinks and bartenders are awesome.

Our waitress was amazing, the food and drinks were excellent, small ding for having all the windows and doors open because it was uncomfortably warm at times. Other than that I highly recommend this place! Wonderful date night, xo

This was our first time at Racks and we absolutely loved it! The food and drinks were so delicious. Sarah was our waitress and she was amazing! She provided excellent service and was attentive to our table even though she was busy. The oysters, the blackened grouper with rice and the cod father were very good. We will definitely be coming back here and invite our friends and family.

This is a nice spot with a great happy hour and oyster special. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because service has been a mixed bag. 2 of the last 3 times I was there it was great. My last visit had an older gentleman and a young man behind the bar. The young man had a bit of an attitude and it was hard to get either gentlemen to make eye contact after our initial interaction. They got our sushi order wrong (young man started to cop an attitude about it until he looked and saw it was wrong) and the drink he made for my friend wasn't right either.

This used to be our favorite place. I’m pretty sure my husband was one of their first customers. We’ve been going to Racks faithfully since they opened. We went during the high holidays, and it was off. But we figured they were overworked/understaffed so we let it go. They couldn’t apply points to our loyalty card, said something was wrong. Take a picture of our checks ($300 in total) & keep it for when it works again. We moved back to Delray in June & this was our first stop. Bartenders are bothered by any order, question, and can’t provide correct check. We had a total of 3 martinis & a dozen dollar oysters during happy hour. We were charged for 4 martinis & regular price oysters. When we said something the bartender said oh I forgot to tell you, the $1 oysters on the menu aren’t really $1 anymore. Well then change the menu to reflect correct pricing. There were weird added service charges, too. They did away with their loyalty program. And it took the annoyed bartender 3 tries to present the correct bill. He was too busy making to go cocktails for the girls he was flirting with. We won’t return. After nearly 8 years of loyal patronage. It’s a shame.

Absolutely one of the best dinners I've ever had in Delray. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you do not order the deviled eggs as an appetizer as they were just out of this world. I also had the char grilled octopus which was unbelievably tender as I've never had octopus that wasn't chewy before. If you are looking for a wonderful place to have an a happy hour office Meetup this is the right place to go.

I used to frequent here pre-covid and really enjoyed the happy hour but this past visit was absolutely bad. Typical "bar food" we had the shrimp w spicy mayo, truffle fries, millionaire mac and cheese and crab cakes. The crab cake was so well done and burnt on top it was hard as a rock. The shrimp were little fried shrimp. The mac and cheese was very bland. The fries were the best out of everything. It definitely went down hill from what it used to be. Service wasn't great either. I wouldn't go back.

Ate here on a busy Thursday night. Service was fine but you should be OK with blaring LIVE music from the Social next door. The food was just OK. Ordered a cobb with blackened chicken and it was mostly iceberg lettuce with barely any toppings. My husband had the ribs which were tasty and tender but the fries were bad and my MIL had the lobster roll which was alright. The meat was mostly good lobster meat so thats good but all in all wouldn’t return. It’s clear they’re cheaping out on some things lately.

David our server was absolutely great! He recommended some phenomenal drinks and food. The happy hour oysters are awesome and a killer deal. We came for a date night on vacation and had a blast. Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Look forward to returning in the future!

16 dollars for a 3/4 cup of ice and a 1/4 of alcohol?
Thats a rip off!
I'm not a regular drinker but I'm not stupid!
Food was OK!
But considering that we are paying 34 dollars for a plate, don't you think that at least the fish should be fresh? Not frozen.
I work as a chef and I know the difference between fresh and frozen food!

We had the fish dip and crab cakes for appetizers. For dinner I had the blackened grouper. It was all so delicious! Our server Brad was very kind and helpful. He made the experience lovely! Will definitely be back.

The lobster roll sucks. Fries were cold and unpleasant and the coleslaw had too much tarragon in it. Staff was fine. But clearly the chef is not on top of his game early in the dinner shift. Happy hour is probably OK.

WILD SEA! First timer with an excellent experience. All the staff was extremely friendly. Our service was great. Got sat right away with outdoor seating. Ordered the Bacon and Eggs ummm YESSS! We actually ordered them twice. Yup twice! Also had the scallops for an appetizer. One fried octopus dinner, salmon ceviche. The dining experience and presentation of food was excellent. Looking forward to going back again.

We made a reservation months ago (from Boston) for an outdoor table for 4. We were excited to try the happy hour we had read about and arrived early at 5: 45pm. We were told that if we wanted outdoor seating it would be a 45 min wait and that though we requested outdoors they couldn’t guarantee it. So we had to sit inside, loud heavy metal music playing and no way to order from the happy hour menu as this is for outdoor diners only. Our server Sarah was very sweet, but I was not going to be paying $16 for a cocktail just because they couldn’t honor an outside reservation made forever ago for our vacation. Won’t be going back.

Waaaaay overpriced, terrible selection of all overpriced garbage. Rude staff, from the hostess to the waiter to management. Don't waste your money, many better choices for a ton less money and MUCH better quality!
