    Saturday brunch is an event. The house DJ is a whole vibe. His crates are deep, and the room is moving with him. When you walk in, the bartenders make smiling eye contact, which is the right kind of welcome for this beautifully designed, cheerful space. We had tamales, french toast, and the bagel breakfast sandwich. Every bite slapped. The coffee didn't move me, but who cares! We weren't drinking, but everyone else seemed happy with their choices. Any spot you dance out of is a great grownup way to spend your Saturday afternoon.

    Great first time experience dining for brunch at The Delta. The ambiance and the DJ were a vibe, great food and great service. I had the Delta sandwich & it was very tasty. I’ll be back to visit for Sunday Soul brunch.

    I recently dined at Delta Restaurant in Chicago, and it was an exceptional experience! I started with the crab Rangoon, and it was absolutely delicious. Crispy on the outside with a flavorful, creamy filling, it set the perfect tone for the meal. For the entrée, I had the shrimp and grits, and it was to die for. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the grits were so creamy and flavorful, complementing the dish perfectly. Every bite was a delight, and nothing was left on my plate! The flavors were rich, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend Delta for a memorable dining experience!

    Great food at a reasonable price with great service. Catfish, burger, and wings were exceptional. Hoppin John and Mac and cheese were great.

    Great ambience created by the decor plus the live DJ playing old school music. The food was very delicious and exceeded my expectations.

    I want to love this place but is a meh for me. While the vibe is always on point, the food is just ok. The options are limited, and the prices are a bit steep for what's offered. I would most likely just go there for drinks and socializing if I go again. Our waiter was A+ though

    I had a party of 10 that I reserved for at the beginning of October. We were seated late because the people in front of us were a bit over time (what can you do). They seemed in a rush to seat us which I can understand. We had to as for table wear. We ordered drinks first but they came about 20 minutes later and our food was served by 2:30 (we sat at 1:30). The food was decent and worth the price. We had to send the chicken back. I had bottomless mimosas and my glass was always full. Our waiter and overall staff were polite. I don’t recommend bringing kids because the music is not clean.
