If there’s one thing Downtown Delray knows how to do well—besides sunshine, cocktails, and a seriously good time—it’s burgers. Whether you’re craving a classic American cheeseburger or a chef-driven gourmet stack, the Ave has no shortage of options.

To settle a friendly debate once and for all, we conducted an informal survey among our email subscribers—aka the people who actually live, work, and eat in Delray Beach. The results are in, the patties have spoken, and your top three choices for Best Burger in Downtown Delray are officially crowned.

Let the drooling begin.

1. The Office — The Unmistakable Champion
201 E Atlantic Ave
Delray Beach, FL 33444

Topping the survey by a landslide, The Office claims the title of Best Burger in Downtown Delray.

Let’s be honest: this comes as no surprise to anyone who has ever tasted their iconic “CEO Burger.” Thick, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and stacked with high-quality ingredients, The Office has mastered the art of the upscale American burger without overcomplicating what makes a burger great.

Pair it with their truffle fries (dangerously addictive) and a cocktail, and you’ve got the kind of meal that keeps locals and visitors coming back again and again.

Survey consensus: “If you haven’t had a burger at The Office, do you even live in Delray?”

2. Brulé — The Upscale Underdog
200 NE 2nd Ave

Coming in second is Brulé, the modern bistro known for its elevated comfort food and chic atmosphere. And yes—their burger lives up to the hype.

Brulé takes a refined approach, focusing on top-tier ingredients and balanced flavors. Their burger is juicy, rich, and beautifully composed with just the right amount of flair. Think: melted gourmet cheese, house-made sauces, and a soft bun that holds everything together without stealing the show.

It’s the ideal choice if you want a burger that feels a little fancy without losing its familiar, comfort-food charm.
