Where to eat in Boynton Beach: lists by category

Last checked Oct. 9, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Boynton Beach’s restaurants cluster on North Congress Avenue, from Boynton Plaza at Boynton Beach Boulevard north past the Boynton Beach Mall and Boynton Town Center to Renaissance Commons at Gateway Boulevard. Downtown has a smaller group on East Ocean Avenue, around Boynton Harbor Marina and on Federal Highway, with more on Gateway Boulevard and East Woolbright Road.

Each list below names every place we could confirm in that category, in alphabetical order, with its address, the hours it publishes and its phone number. We started from OpenStreetMap records inside the city limits, the same data behind our local directory, added places from the state’s restaurant inspection file, then checked each place against its own website on Oct. 9, 2026. Places with a Boynton Beach mailing address outside the city limits, on West Boynton Beach Boulevard, Jog Road and South Military Trail, are not included. We check the lists again every three months. Nobody pays to be on a list, and none of them is a ranking. Run a restaurant? Write to us to add or correct an entry.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the restaurants in Boynton Beach?

Most are on North Congress Avenue, from Boynton Plaza at Boynton Beach Boulevard north past the mall to Renaissance Commons at Gateway Boulevard.

Are restaurants on West Boynton Beach Boulevard and Military Trail on these lists?

Only those inside the city limits. Many places west of the city have a Boynton Beach mailing address but are in unincorporated Palm Beach County, so they are not on our lists.

Banana Boat on East Ocean Avenue and Prime Catch on East Woolbright Road both list indoor and outdoor waterfront bars. See our patios and outdoor dining list.

Are these lists rankings?

No. Every list is alphabetical, checked against each place’s own website or the state’s inspection records, and nobody pays to be on one.
