Everything about Deltas was great. The only thing i would say is the live music is a bit loud but otherwise i can't wait to go back.
They got a new menu which is worth trying! The yams are rockin! It's typically a vibe in there, especially first Friday! The DJ is great. karaoke on Thursdays is a good time too. However, heads up, you're gonna pay a 15$ "entertainment fee" that they add to your bill automatically, it's new and I'm not the happiest about it, however, it's always a good time at Deltas.
Fabulous brunch experience! Valet parking was a huge help since we simply were not in the mood to find street parking. Parking looked like it could be challenging in a residential area. The host and server were pleasant, the esthetics were pleasing, fabulous DJ that played all the perfect soulful classics you'd want to hear at a Sunday brunch or family reunion. The music was also at a perfect volume where diners can converse comfortably. Most importantly the food was delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly. The corn bread was light and moist. Absolutely delicious! The place was packed and we were glad we made reservations. They are definitely necessary as this establishment has loyal clientele that always fills this restaurant with very satisfied diners. The cocktails were too weak and sugary but the low end basic full bottle of Brut champagne and choices of juices made up for the disappointing cocktail. We will undoubtedly return again soon!
First time here for brunch and definitely coming back! Ambiance was beautiful and moody. More of a group brunch/dinner place but I didn't get to explore the second level. Absolutely loved the staff - everyone was so helpful with the selection. We tried the red sangria and I've had better but the brandy did peek through so if you're a fan, give it a try. Such good soul food dumplings with the gravy sauce option. The salmon was okay I'll be trying to catfish since it looked delicious but I don't regret the safe option. Dessert was phenomenal. Overall had a great time and good food. Side note: I docked a star because you only have a valet parking option.
Pros: - Sunday Brunch menu! A+ - Attentive service - Live music either band or DJ - Bi-level seating - Signature cocktails - Great ambience and decor - Table linens are a bonus - Booth seating available - Great gathering spot for happy hour - Bathrooms are always clean and stocked Cons: - DJ music is typically TOO loud making it a challenge to hear the person sitting beside you, if seated on 1st floor - 20% gratuity is an automatic charge for all tickets, regardless of table size Overall positive vibes and good times at Delta's whenever I go
Always a great time at Delta's one of my favorite go to spots. We attended Sunday Brunch on this day and enjoyed everything as always. Service was great our waitress made it her business to stop by and fill our glasses up when they were empty. Delta's is always a vibe and I just love the whole ambiance.
Loved this place! The food was soulful and flavorful. The place its self was beautiful and a great vibe! Our server was really kind! We ordered a potato salad that we didnt like and they quickly replaced it with no problem! I really enjoyed my experience here overall, cant wait to goback!
His place on a Friday night it's really nice good ambiance nice DJ and crowd. Did not order food as kitchen closes at 11pm. Music is good drinks are okay. Ordered French flirt as a cocktail. Valet parking. It's hard to find free parking. Will return
It has been yeeeaaaarrrrssss since I've been to Delta's. I recently visited with a group of ladies that I'm in a social club with. We had a party of 8. We had a 5:30 pm reservation and we couldn't be seated until everyone or almost everyone was there. Needless to say, we were psst our 15 minute window. However, since we got there so early on a Friday, we were still able to be seated. Once we were finally seated, we placed our drink orders. I got the peach moscato sangria. For my meal, I got fried whiting with mac n cheese and candied yams. I felt like the presentation of the food wasn't as nice as it used to be some years ago, but it was still tasty. My only issue with my meal was the fish. It could've used a little more salt, and it had bones in it. I didn't enjoy pulling fish bones out of my mouth mid-chew. The restaurant definitely passes the vibe check. The playlist was on point. Finding good black-owned spots to enjoy a good meal and some good vibes in Central NJ is like finding a needle in a haystack. Therefore, it's nice that Delta's is still around. I give my most recent experience 3.5 stars but rounded it up to 4.
