Delray Marketplace

My wife and I frequently come here to dine, usually at Burt & Max’s and sometimes Schula Berger. Always happy with the restaurants, never a bad meal. Last night they had tina turner band (simply tina?) and they put on what seemed like a full professional concert. We had no idea they had such professional acts here. We both immensely enjoyed the band — what a great place to come for food, for entertainment, etc. What more can I say. !

My new hang out place! Within three weeks I have been here 3 times and loving it. Living in Boynton, this place is ten to fifteen minutes away. While driving it seems like nothing is there and only a few housing communities have recently developed. However, you enter in Delray Marketplace, and it seems like a ton of people walking around, eating, people watching/​movie watching and just enjoying life. There seems to be a huge population growth in that area with people living near by in the GL communities.
I love the layout of this center. I wouldn’t consider it a shopping center since there are not many shops, I think the restaurants seems to dominate the marketplace as well as the movie theater. The movie theater has a restaurant and bowling within the premises. The parking is ample and there a huge lot on the south of the plaza. In restaurants they have 2 – 3 pizza shops, Japanese, American, Spanish cuisine and more.
Overall, a good place to go which resembles Mizner Park a bit in my view however less chaotic parking finding issues.~

Love it here… we come all the time but the parking is a little tough… don’t eat at Frank’s bowl and grill… everything else is great! We live Shula burger and its sugar is an awesome store… nice atmosphere but would like to see more strokes open… had some live music one night which was great! Need more of that…

Nice shopping center with good restaurants, shops and movie theatre.

West Delray Beach has a nice marketplace consisting of shops, restaurants, a grocery store, amphitheater, and a movie theater. You can easily lose track of time browsing through the shops before or after getting a bite or drink at the nearby restaurants. The parking is a hit or miss. There is plenty of free and valet parking, but it tends to fill up fast during the weekends and for special events. I’ve actually had to park on the outside back side of the movie theater for a special showing one time and it was on a Wednesday evening. However, it’s a great place to celebrate any occasion and it’s very clean. I have been here numerous times and I always forward to going back.

Not enough parking. Pretty much all of the restaurants here are awful other than Apeiro. The stores here are a hodge-​podge of stuff that ranges from clothing stores to one-​offs like the kiddie heroin candy store. The anchor Frank Theaters is barely 18 months old, looks like it’s been there 10, dirty, shows start late and they charge $ 4.00 for a bottle of water. They built the theater with no porch overhang between a drop off/​valet and the street, so you get rained on a lot. Shulas is pricey and dirty, kind of an upscale McDonald’s. The Daily Grind is mediocre coffee served up by people who could have been hired from Dunkin for their people skills. In all, unless there is an iMax show, I’m so out of this place.

Diane and I arrived at Delray Marketplace to participate in an event to recognize the need for attention to the problem of breast cancer. We were immediately presented with a cute pink cap to show our concern. A human chain was formed. I wish more people had turned out but at least we showed that we care for the lives of so many women who have suffered and /​or died from breast cancer. My mother was one of the many victims of this awful disease. Her bravery in fighting breast cancer was amazing. I tried to help her all I could, taking her to her chemotherapy and radiation appointments and watching her try so hard to win her battle against cancer as so many unfortunate women and men have. It was the saddest time of my life. If we can help science make any inroads against this horrible disease it would be wonderful. More events such as this one have to raise money and accomplish the goal of ending cancer in our lifetime. I admire the efforts of these organizations so much.

Clyde and I went to Delray Marketplace to participate in a pink event in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It was held at the amphitheater. We became part of a human pink ribbon. We were given pink caps and many people wore pink clothing.
Afterward we walked around and looked at the shops, peaked inside a few of the restaurants, and went to Happy Hour at Apeiro. Several of the restaurants have Happy Hour seven days a week.
The Marketplace is fairly new, built in an area that is still rural. They have a free parking lot, although there’s also valet parking. The design is beautiful with soft colors, fountains, and lots of green spaces. Most of the restaurants have outside and inside seating. The Marketplace also has a movie theater, Publix, and bowling. There’s plenty of events and entertainment on the lawn at the Amphitheater.

When you go out to the Delray Marketplace you’re really traveling out to the hinterlands, for me to the very edges my little Floridian universe. The area has only recently been developed and is in fact so new that the overlay roadway maps on my onboard GPS failed me indicating there were no roads where in fact there were roads.
Whoever dumped a lot of money into the development of the Delray Marketplace, the architecture and design of which are sort of in keeping, at least to my eye, with that of the Mizner like Mediterranean generally associated with Boca Raton. Though the parking situation seems somewhat flawed, it’s adequate enough. The restaurants, shops and bars are all sort of on the upscale. Everything is on the somewhat pricey side for what you get or for what they have which, when shopping or dinning in such areas, is normally expected.
The only thing that bothers me about it is that it just represents more of Florida’s sprawling, never ending development and I can’t help but wonder or think that this might have been an area that should have remained natural or was once a part of the endangered Everglades system. But, I don’t know, and could well be wrong on that.
As far as open air shopping areas, malls or marketplaces go, it’s really very nice, pleasant to see and walk around.

This is a great marketplace. I love the neighborhood it’s in I am looking forward to going there again with my family. They have a great theater that has IMAX and bowling and games for family fun! They also have a lot of great restaurants to choose from.

I wonder if the rich cuntte who designed this place has ever stepped foot on the premises to see what an ungodly creation Delray Marketplace is. Surely even the losers who frequent this place agree that the parking situation is crap at best. We’re out in the middle of nowhere — build a friggin parking garage — you have the space. All of the restaurants SUCK & all of the shops are for Delray housewives with money to burn (yankee candle, «oh my bod», nail and hair salons etc.) There aren’t even any stores for you rich Delray/​Boca yuppie dorks (true religion jeans, lacoste, under armour, etc.) Just because you built a Publix in the back doesn’t make it a marketplace. GFY

This is a great place to spend time. Have a great meal, take a walk. It’s like a high end car show every night.

Becoming hangout for my wife and I. Cool hits and singers at The Grind across from Franks. Tight parking esp peak times around 6pm so expect to circle the lot or just Valet and plan plan accordingly.

LOVE the place. but parking’s an issue early Sundays when there’s nothing going on.
I cannot imagine what it’s like when they have events.
(For that reason, I’ll only go there when there’s nothing going on.)

Parking is awful! Valet hoards parking spaces so bad that people resort to parking on the curbs and along Lyons Rd! It’s ridiculous!

GREAT PLACE!
PARKING SUCKS. Listen up developer or management company — whoever is responsible for the car chaos — BUILD A GARAGE!

An oasis in a still developing area (when I say developing, I mean there are lots of farms and open space around the area). The only other things in the area is the turnpike and farmland as of now, and the Delray Marketplace is the perfect destination to bring this locale to life. This outdoor shopping center has a movie theater, bowling alley, restaurants, shopping, ice cream and much more. Delray Marketplace is for sure eye-​catching, especially at night when they light the torches at the entrance ways. Most restaurants have outdoor seating, so on nice days it’s the perfect area to eat outside and just enjoy the scenery. At nighttime they have events sometimes, so lots of action always going on. Most of the actual stores are pretty high end, so are the restaurants and theater. What I’m basically saying is don’t expect any dollar stores to open up here anytime soon.
The whole parking ordeal is not the best. During the day it is a much better situation, but at night and especially on weekends be prepared to circle the lots for a while. Parking is slanted, so it’s basically all one way driving on the inside of the shopping complex. On the surrounding perimeter of the complex the lots are a bit bigger, and more parking in those areas, especially around the movie theater and the Publix. But even then the spots as of now are just grass spots, not even paved, as of now. Delray Marketplace is a beautiful shopping complex with plenty of room to grow and expand. I wish there was more parking, and more general low-​brow stores to have a wider appeal, but other than that this place is pretty perfect.

This is a nice little shopping center kind of out in the middle of nowhere in west Delray. We come here once in awhile for movies (Franks Cinebowl). The shopping center itself is very new, modern, and pretty, and it is fun to walk around and browse a bit.
I go with three stars rather than four for a few reason. One is that parking here is ridiculous. If you can help it don’t try to drive down any of the roads that go through the shopping area, stay on the outskirts. Every time I have come here, granted it has always been a weekend night, we have parked way out back behind the movie theater. I don’t mind a little walking at all, but when you have to stalk people to get a spot and then still have to walk the lot’s length to the shopping center you have to start to question the design.
My other issue is that I don’t really think there are any great culinary options in here. There is a pizza place, a beer place, a Shula burger, just nothing that really excited me, and honestly nothing with great Unilocal reviews for food. There is a Japango but it has the lowest Unilocal reviews of all Japango’s and I just wasn’t in the mood for sushi this particular night.
Since this is kind of in the middle of nowhere it’s either eat in this plaza or drive a bit, but luckily there is a Publix so we were able to get sandwiches for dinner and eat them on one of the benches in the plaza before our movie. My boyfriend joked that it was a homeless persons date, but I really like people watching, and despite how crowded parking was there was plenty of seating around the walkways. I think it’s a great place to get a drink, do some shopping, maybe see a movie, but if your main objective is dinner, maybe stop somewhere else first.

I am really happy that this marketplace exists. This place has a variety of entertainment and dining options. Most of the restaurants here are vegetarian-​friendly too! As for the crowd, the age group is definitely a mix.
Since this location can appease so many generations, it really becomes a delight to have this close to home. I can come here for a date night with the boyfriend. I could even come here for a night out with the girls. It has dozens of restaurants and bars to choose from.
If you don’t feel like drinking, then head over to Frank Theaters for a movie, bowling or arcade fun.
It even has places to shop for clothes, jewelry and accessories. This applies to men, women and children.
Like I said, I am thrilled to have such a cool place near home.

This is on the corner of West Atlantic and Lyons Road approximately a mile away from 441.
It is a fairly new plaza (opened Feb. 2013) full of upper middle classed restaurants and stores and it also has Publix and a movie theater. It is a very beautiful place, almost just as beautiful as Boca Raton’s Mizner’s Park.
However, since this marketplace is still very new, parking is still an issue because overflow parking is on unpaved grassy areas. I think they may just still be working out financing and landscaping kinks to have a better idea how big the parking lot should be to accommodate the daily quota of employees and customers.
I am looking forward to the newer stores that have yet to be moved in and also that they do figure out what to do with the restaurants that are successful and the ones that are really lacking *coughs* Cabo Flats *coughs*.
