The Office…casual American-Style joint in Delray Beach.

Yesterday, Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats had lunch at The Office in Delray. Let me start by saying, that it’s a great looking- modern- cool-joint with both inside/outdoor seating. It has a full bar, with loads of beers on tap–the bar is two sided/you can sit inside or outside. You can check menu/prices/photos at www.theofficedelray.com.

The Office’s menu is far from being huge…that said, it has enough appetizers, salads, burgers, entrees, desserts to get the job done.

Look! Let me get this off my chest—I thought that The Office was an absolute RIP-OFF. 1 cheeseburger and 1 bacon cheeseburger (both came with french fries) and a 10 oz bottle of Coke (no refills) shouldn’t cost $46 with the tip. Trust me, Jeff Eats is- no cheapskate…but when we left, I was really annoyed that I had just got bagged. As for the food, Son Jeff Eats thought that his cheeseburger was delicious-same for the fries, while Jeff Eats thought that the bacon cheeseburger was ok-but nothing special and that the fries were pretty decent.

Jeff Eats can’t render an opinion on “other” menu items…because I didn’t try them. Based on the burgers/fries at “tourist” prices—Jeff Eats in all good conscious can’t recommend this joint to you.

Maybe I’m getting old or something, but I was actually offended by the “check.”

If you don’t offend as “easily” as Jeff Eats does or have cash to burn…or your a tourist…

The Office is open Sunday-Thursday 11:30am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11:30am-11pm.

    I agree with jeff the burgers are just okay and prices are way too expensive. Great looking placebut they definitely rip you off.

    Great place for people watching.
    Food sucks.
    Prices are a double suck.

    When I was 19, I met a man selling $2000 pens and hand crafted pocket knives. I asked him “who would buy such items”? His response was, somebody making several hundred thousand a year or more who wants something out of the ordinary and can buy these without blinking an eye.

    Is any burger worth $18, not really being that the best burger comes from inexpensive fatty ground chuck, as far as amazing french fries, the formula for the best french fries are 50 cent lb potatoes deep fried in lard and loaded with salt.

    Some are more than happy to pay for that I am worth it feeling.

    Great people watching joint. Food is fair and very overpriced.

  6. Brad says...

    Maybe checking the menu on the internet might save you future “baggings.” These days, I’m thinking there shouldn’t any surprises as far as prices go when you head out to eat.

    Good looking restaurant. Food is okay but nothing out of the ordinary. Ate there a few months ago and have to agree with many here it’s pices are too high.

  8. Vic W says...

    Jeff,
    Ive eaten here twice. BBQ ribs, Mac & cheese, burger, fries, chocolate cake. The food is decent enough but nothing to jump for joy over. The food is actually good bar food nothing more and nothing less.
    No question about it, your two burger meal was very expensive. Keep in mind that a lot of tourists are in the area so the Office can get away with this.

  9. TH says...

    Nothing special going on here.

  10. Tom Stetson says...

    you got hit this one right on the head, Jeff, although same can be said for most places along atlantic ave. we tried the office soon after it opened and will not be back. food was decent, but not good enough to match the price-

    Prices a drop too inflated.

    The Office had excellent food with generous portions. My sandwich was great and the side dishes were also very good. The service was excellent. The menu had a lot of nice selections. By Gregg L. Friedman MD, Psychiatrist, Hallandale Beach, FL

    met some friends there from N.Y. there last year..when the bar bill came almost fell over..but excellent service and great place to just sit and talk and watch whats doin… tasted the cheeseburger and it was very good but as you say …a bit too much. The place is really beautiful ! All glass and mirrors and stainless steel…well done.

  19. Joe Joe Salem says...

    Good food. High prices. Good people watching. Leave it for the tourists from Iowa. Go to Granger’s right in the same area for great food and prices.

  20. Fran D says...

    Absurd prices.
    Once was enough for me.
