Description

Boston's on the Beach is a Delray institution known for fresh, reasonably priced seafood that's simply prepared. Though it caters to a Northern crowd and makes no secret of its Red Sox allegiances, anyone who's a fan of whole lobster, fried seafood baskets, and a delicious rendition of New England clam chowder will be sated here. There's a spiffed-up interior, with the downstairs dining room catering to a cost-conscious crowd in search of a straightforward meal that's a cut above bar food. It's still a mecca for sports fans, with wide-screen TVs displaying every game a Massachusetts native would ever hope to watch. For fancier meals, the upstairs offers a more extensive menu and refined dining. When the weather cooperates, outside is where it's at: an extensive covered patio with plenty of elbow room, right across the street from the ocean. Despite the location, the restaurant is far from Atlantic Avenue's maddening crowd and offers terrific service from start to finish.
