Rachel's Steakhouse Palm Beach — Restaurant in West Palm Beach

Place looks nice from outside. Mostly a nice well kept place. I saw a ceiling tile missing in one place over the state exposing network cables. Wasn’t expecting to see something like that in a place that wants to be considered 5 star. There are two bars on each side of the stage plus one upstairs. I went to the bar on the right hand side as soon as you get through security. Before going in I felt the bouncer guy was asking me a whole bunch of questions like what was I looking to do at the club. I thought this to be a stupid question. Then they asked me if I was going to the bar or a table. I think service would be better in this aspect where you wouldn’t ask these questions from customers just observe from a distance and let the customer pick a open seat at the bar or table and then have a server approach them once seated. I had mix feelings about entering the club as well. I felt safe due to TSA style metal wand going around my body and having them ask me to empty my pockets before I could enter. Never did I have such a thorough security check at another strip club. Made me wonder if the club was in a safe area or not and whether or not something bad had happened there before resulting in such a thorough check. As mentioned earlier I went to the bar on the right after paying $10 cover charge on a Sunday night. I felt cover charge was double what I pay at some other clubs if anything on a Sunday night. Upon seating at the end of the bar I felt the bar tender didn’t really know how to work the bar or maybe there should have been 2 bar tenders behind the bar because they stayed way too long on one side of the bar. I was told that I would get 50% off steaks before midnight which was true. However the catch was that you only got the steak which was al a cart no sides and you had to be a rewards member which was no big deal since rewards card sign up was free. I ordered a 8oz Filet mignon cooked med rare which was very good and tender with a loaded bake potato. Food was spot on good, but like mentioned before I thought it was 50% off a whole meal and included a side. Sure the menu never stated a side for the meal, but I kind of was misled by the bartender saying 50% off. If you don’t mind paying $73 and change for a 8oz Filet loaded bake potato and 2 over priced Heineken bottles at $10 a piece then this place might be for you. Otherwise seek another bar because you can get Heineken bottles for $6 or less depending on whether they have it on happy hour or not. I understand prices are restaurant prices not grocery store prices however I’m comparing price and service to Rachel’s competition. Lap dances were $35 for 3 minutes. They don’t do it by song it’s 3 minutes from once you go for the dance. Also regular lap dance area has zero privacy dividers like other clubs have something small not fully private but still a bit more private then wide in the open. Other clubs do it by song wait for next song to start once in lap dance area and charge $15 for a lap dance or sometimes do a special 3 for $25. When other clubs do dance special it is shorter songs though not necessarily full length songs but still more than 3 minutes. If you want a private room and more fun their prices are on another planet! Over $1,000 for less than a hour I was told. All I could say is wow what a rip off!! Amsterdam was way cheaper and you got full service legally. So at the end of the night I spent $178 there with 2 lap dances, my meal entry and a few bucks for girl on stage. Women were very nice looking and big screen tvs for sports if you want to watch sports. Ok service with over priced price tag is what I got out of this place. Not a place for top value for your hard earned cash. If price is nothing to you and you want to check it out you should have a pretty good time, but for me price is a little something so I feel I will stick with other clubs I been to and be happier getting similar...

Professionalism, kindness, and courtesy are not words I would usually use to describe an adult entertainment facility. However, from the moment my friend and I walked in the door, that is exactly what we experienced.

We were down from Ocala to purchase a used panel van for my buddy’s business at a local car dealer. I remembered that there was a Rachel’s in West Palm, and I have always wanted to go there. It never occurred to us that one of us, namely me, the mechanic along for the ride to inspect said used vehicle, just might not be appropriately dressed for a facility such as this one. It also did not occur to me that me being armed might be an issue, as I’m not accustomed to the way things are done in South Florida. It is a quite different environment from what we are used to. Things are different down south.

The gentleman at the door was supreme friendly and outgoing, and when we described our circumstances (and I excused myself to lock up my firearm and knife), he arranged for me to purchase a shirt that would be appropriate for my entry, and allowed us to carry on having a wonderful evening at their establishment. We enjoyed a very good dinner, interesting conversations with beautiful ladies, and a few lap dances.

This could’ve very easily gone the other way; we could’ve simply been turned around at the door for not complying with the rules, we could’ve been met with a rude bouncer who would’ve ruined our evening and left a bad taste in our mouth, an unhelpful manager who really could not care less about her customers, or any myriad of possibilities other than what we got. But what we got was exactly what we needed, and I am very pleasantly surprised and impressed.

Come to this place. Give them your business, and have a wonderful evening surrounded by beautiful ladies in an inviting and enjoyable atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed.

Just make sure you dress appropriately. I’ll remember next time, but I will say I’ll be cutting the sleeves off my new “Rachel‘s“ T-shirt just because I’m that persnickety!

Oh, and a huge thanks to “Cairo“, the wee little beautiful dark skinned lass who rocked my buddy’s world (and admittedly, mine) with his first ever lap dance. He would not shut up about you for four hours straight all the way home. Poor guy! I don’t think he’ll ever recover from...

I remember this place from years ago where the dancers were drop-dead gorgeous, the food was good and it was the best place around.

Sadly, those days are gone. We went there on a Tuesday night and they had the cojones to charge a $10 cover, when there were about twenty customers in the whole joint. The drinks were expensive as expected, the food insanely overpriced to the point that they don't even list the prices on the Website. And could someone tell Rachel's it's not Ruth's Chris. Rachel's charges more for their steaks than Ruth's or Morton's. Can someone please tell them they are a strip club that happens to sell steak--not the other way around!

Then the girls. What a disappointment! After shelling out all this money you would expect to see Playboy-Bunny types of girls but no these were more like girls that you would see at the mall and wouldn't look twice at. A few were hot but mostly not much better than average, and that's with soft lighting, plastic surgery and every kind of advantage they can get. Several of the girls were about as 'chesty' as a man, and you could see cellulite, flab, etc.

The place is simply dead, lacking any life. I guess that's what happens when you try to milk every dollar you can from customers: you get few customers, which translates to few strippers, and pretty soon the dancers' quality goes down as they realize they can't make as much with so few customers to pony up for money. There's no calling all the girls on stage, two for one's, half the girls sit around looking at their phones instead of doing private dances (really?), and the DJ literally just plays music--no getting the small crowd into it. $20 for a dance at the table, $30 if they do the same exact thing in the back. The girls don't even fully strip for a $20 table dance but fully strip onstage, a mere two feet away--beyond stupid!

In short, I won't ever be back at this joint. Rachel's wants to suck every dollar out of you for insanely overpriced food, cover charges on weeknights, and everything else, while providing second-rate girls and a club that is about as exciting as...
