Been wanting to visit for some time and we finally made it last night. Arrived around 7:15 on a Saturday evening and were seated with no wait.
I had one of their signature cocktails, the Delta Sweet Tea (or something similar) and it was good but I saw a bottle of Van Winkle 10yr behind the bar on the way out and wish I’d ordered that instead.
Hush puppies were on point. Nice and crispy, a tiny bit of heat at the end.
Oddly enough I came here for Cajun food and ended up getting their “Krewe” burger (weekly special). It was well worth the deviation from the plan. The tots were also good, right out of the frier and delivered a few moments after the burger.
Wife had the gumbo, which is what I was planning on trying so I’m glad I got to try it. Excellent gumbo as expected and even through I’m not a seafood fan I really enjoyed a taste.
Servers were all very friendly an patient as we took way to long to decide on what we wanted. Atmosphere is fun and music was an excellent 80s station. Live music (DJ) was setting up to go on at 9, we left shortly before that.
We skipped desert this time but will try next time.
All in all, a pleasant visit. We are big fans of the Parish and this is a nice alternative without having to drive all the way up north.

I am always in a search of a good birria and I found one in Tucson that is called a quesabirria burger -it's queso(cheese),birria but as a burger and not the traditional taco. It even came with a consomme (birria broth)!They also have one of the best cornbreads I've ever had that I ordered another one to bring back to Seattle. Their jambalaya, bread pudding and *addicting* rosemary,bacon and caramel popcorn don't fail either. Their popcorn alone makes me wish I work here for a short bit just so I will learn their recipe.LOL! jk

Very nice layout to the restaurant. Food is southern cuisine. Jambalaya was good. Cocktails were good and well priced. Staff is really nice.

Honestly..we ate here when they first opened and it was excellent! We took visitors last week and we were all disappointed! EVERYTHING was way too hot..as in spicy heat! Even the hush puppies were covered in hot tartar sauce instead of being served on the side as before, and it wasn't so spicy last time. Very disappointing this time. Our waitress, however, was really awesome! I've forgotten her name but she was the best part of our visit!

Pluses were that they did offer gluten free options. Minuses, they were of the more already expensive cuisines. I had the jambalaya, but it was not very flavorful. This was a surprise. Also, not very filling. The drink I had was wonderful though. Not too sweet, seemed just right! And it was pretty! I don't recall which one it was, but it had hibiscus in it, an orange ice and it was pinkish. It was non-alcoholic.

First time here, and it was great. Service was amazing. The atmosphere was chill and beautiful. Everyone is polite and helpful. The food was delicious, had the Drunken Angel pasta, delicious, I've never had anything like it. Also had the kool-aid pickles, also great. Overall amazing experience. Will return to try some stuff I didn't get to this time like drinks and dessert.

The spicy fried chicken sandwich and the pimento cheese dip were great.
The Birria Burger was just okay.

Beyond excellent service both times I’ve been to The Delta. I’ve had just about all their appetizers and they’re all so delicious. You can’t go wrong going here for happy hour. This is one of my favorite spots in town.

We went there Friday night for Sonoran Restaurant Week. Had a really good dinner. The elote hush puppies were a great starter. Moist and flavorful. The gumbo was really good. Rich and thick sauce with smoked lamb, where I could taste the smoke, and good spicy sausage. Well spiced with a bit of heat. The lime rice in it was a great contrast. The dessert was big, tasty, but not overly sweet. Looking at some of the other food going out. It will be worth going again. It is a bit noisy inside, but so many of our good restaurants in Tucson are like that. The only small negative was that our table wasn't ready at our reservation time. I only bring that up because of the restaurant's reservation policy. Make sure you understand the possible penalties if you're late or cancel last minute.
