    Breakfast combo with eggs, toast, bacon, and grits.
    Elizabeth J.

    Cute little place in an industrial area. Seemed to be a favorite for people working nearby. Lots of takeout orders but a nice dining room area. Order at the counter. Take the food to your choice of table. Not fancy. I had eggs, bacon, and grits. Food was good!The precut watermelon was also good. I would like the restaurant to think about using compostable or paper plates and table ware instead of styrofoam.

    Hot link sandwich

    So this is definitely something that's off the beaten path but it gives a really diner type feel to it. The prices of decent and very reasonable. Definitely do it. They have lunch and breakfast, so you can come at the very top of the day or come and lunch time but they do close after lunch time so you have to get there at a reasonable time. You come in in there a bunch of diner tables there so there's plenty of seating. There isn't anything outside but there's plenty of side. It gives you a cafeteria feel when you do get there. So you basically stand at a long window where they have the food available for you to pick from. But mostly if you come, you'll order and no make it made to order and back style. But the lady who served me rush me a little bit but that was only because they were five other people in lie behind me. It's not really Pat, but they were jumping in line. It did not dissuade me. I was able to get a regular breakfast sandwich (croissant w/ sausage). Which was pretty good. Nothing flashy, but a good sandwich. Warm bread, right off the skillet. I also tried the hot link sandwich which was also great, much better than the basic sandwich. It was a little messy, but, very worth it. Came with hot link and bacon with egg and cheese, it was a winner. I should have got that before I got the regular breakfast combo, because that was just OK. I got a breakfast combo so it came with your choice of sausage or bacon, your choice of hash brown or grits, and a bread. That coupled with eggs, expect a really full meal for under $7. The hashbrowns that came with it seemed like they were more soggy than crispy, and so did the bacon. The eggs were... egg lol you cant really mess those up unless you burn them. Overall I would stick with breakfast sandwiches from there. Maybe next time I will try another sandwich (lunch) or french toast. Will I go back to this spot? Absolutely. Just that semi greasy cafe spoon type feel with good food, I am here for it.

    I just love this place. It's unassumingly tucked away on Amwiler Rd right near Winters chapel.... Food is amazing and cheap. One of my favorite go to's on my way to work. Ms. Moon is such a sweetie pie as well! Great lil jewel.

Some restaurants deliver on great apps only to disappoint with the entrees. Not here. The fried chicken was wonderfully prepared. The grits were also excellent - some of the best I've had. And actually the trout dish was a delight, with an amazingly crispy skin. The food was so darn good, we ordered desserts even though we were all full to the gills. But darn, that warm butter cake was mouth watering. And the family also loved the banana pudding. And service was outstanding as well. I did get chided for trying to help with clearing the dishes - which was a first for me. No complaints here. I hope to come back for another amazing meal when I'm back in town. Please don't go anywhere!

I love fried chicken (who doesn't?) but typically find other breading to be bland and oily and I usually pull it off to get to the juicy meat...but not at Delilah's. It was the perfect combination of crunchy and flavorful and I was sure to gobble up any small bit that fell on my plate. The collard greens are also incredible. Not too salty not too saturated. Just perfect. I think I'm going to order a take home portion for holiday dinners at home because I can't make them better than this! The service and personal experience was off the charts and exactly what southern hospitality is all about. My husband and I chatted with Jason, the owner, during our entire meal and learned so many cool things about their family and Delilah's story. I will be going back again and again and again. Definitely plan to take out of towners that are eager to find good authentic soul food.

I've known of this highly lauded business…read morefor years but never found the right day when I was craving soul food and in the area to order. Until recently. I decided to have a tapas-style dinner with food from The Works and just had to grab some chicken from Delilah's. The menu is plentiful without being overwhelming, except when it comes to picking a favorite between the flavorful options. I knew that I didn't want or need a full meal and opted for their 3 whole wing option that came paired with cornbread. The young man who took my order was so polite and patient, as there were a few folks in line and waiting for previously placed orders. He let me know that my order would be ready in about 15 minutes so I took the time to continue my food-finding journey around the market. When I returned later, I had lost track of time and figured I'd just poke my head around their stall to see if my chicken was ready. It wasn't at that moment but I took some time to observe the process. There was only one guy in the open kitchen and prep area creating all of the meals and he was on the move. If I could add smells to my review, this one would smell like fried chicken and cornbread. It was all so fresh! When my order was ready, I only made one other stop before heading to my car to go home to my family... but not before I tested those whole wings from Delilah's. When I say that they were fresh out of the grease? Babehhh. It's like he just threw them right into the basket only seconds before. It was sooo crunchy, so juicy, just a fantastic wing. The hot sauce was a nice pairing but some spice in the breading/meat would have taken it over the top but this chicken was delicious. No notes.

    Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q…read more Fox Bros. has that hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint feel, but with plenty of space to hang out. There's a bar along with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the overall atmosphere is casual and laid-back. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and gave us some great recommendations, which definitely added to the experience. We went with the three-meat sampler and chose the brisket, ribs, and jalapeño cheddar sausage, with tots and the Fox-a-Roni for our sides. The Fox-a-Roni--a combination of their Brunswick stew and mac & cheese--was absolutely delicious and easily one of the most memorable sides I've had at a BBQ restaurant. The brisket was honestly some of the best brisket I've ever had. It was tender, flavorful, and easily my favorite of the three meats. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was also really good, and while the ribs tasted great, ours were pretty small and didn't have a ton of meat on them. My only real complaint was the portioning of the sampler. We were told that as you choose a larger variety of meats, you essentially receive smaller portions of each. I understand the idea of a sampler, but we literally received one slice of brisket and two-three fairly small ribs, so the portion-to-variety concept didn't make a ton of sense to me. I would've preferred slightly more substantial portions, especially considering how good the brisket was! I also ordered a cocktail, but unfortunately it wasn't really for me. It came across very sweet and mostly juice, although I think that may have been more about the particular drink I chose than the bar itself. Overall, the food absolutely delivered. Between the incredible brisket, Fox-a-Roni, friendly service, and laid-back BBQ atmosphere, Fox Bros. was definitely worth the stop. I'd happily come back--I'd just skip the 3 meat sampler next time and order more of that brisket!

No ceiling fans, why not? The host (blond headed guy) was super nice and got us seated quicky. Our server Calli was also the bartender. He was very nice and polite, but he was clearly stretched doing double duty as server and bartender. His drinks were on point, but It took forever to get apitizers, and entrees, and it was difficult for him to really check on our table as often as we would have liked. He tried his best. Now the food: The smothered pork chops, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, collards, mac and cheese was great. Those chicken wings were fried to perfection 10/10. The mac and cheese wasn't really as creamy as I like but it was still really good. I wanted to take my out of town guest somewhere they could only experience in Atlanta. And, I wanted them to go back to Chicago and say what a great dining experience they had. In terms of the food, and drinks, location, they were well pleased and said I picked a winner. Now when the sun went down the music got crunk and the younger crowd started to pour in. It was a bit loud for the 45 up foks, but at least it was good R&B so we adapted.

    WAS THIS A HIT OR MISS ???…read more It was a HIT I have been dying to try this place out for years and I figured I planned a lunch with a friend so we could spend the afternoon chitchatting and this was the perfect spot. So we were warmly greeted and then taken to a quiet table in the corner that had the whitest tablecloths. It looked rather chic Then we had the best server. She checked on us numerous times, didn't rush us and offered suggestions. She kept our table clear of mayhem from empty plates and glasses. Now the food was delicious. It was so good. The chicken was moist and the outside was crispy. The mashed potatoes melted in my mouth. Plus, we had a slice of 7up cake for dessert. I high recommend this place. They have valet parking that is only $2. Great place to visit. Until next time.

    Location Carries, Great for Clients, Not for Value…read more Location, location, location. That's the story here. This spot earns its 4 stars largely because of the setting and service. Right in the heart of Buckhead with a beautiful view great energy, well-dressed crowd, and a strong place for a work lunch or client meeting. Service was solid, no complaints there. I'll keep it simple the food was good, don't get me wrong. But for the price, it just didn't match up. This is one of those places that works if you're trying to impress clients or enjoy the atmosphere. Strip away the location, and the food-to-price ratio probably lands much lower. Just my take. Overall: 4/5 great setting, just comes at a premium.
