DJ was AMAZING! Food was good. But our drinks came out at the same time as our food which made us feel rushed.

We went for happy hour and sat at the bar. Ordered drinks and 2 appetizers and the final bill came to $95 out of which $20 was charged for (%18)tip+staff fee+credit card fee without any heads-up and we were still asked to leave extra tip for an ok service. The appetizers and drinks were good but not that good to justify adding %30 to our bill before tax.

My friend and I went yesterday. It took 15 minutes before the staff even brought water. Once we were ready to place our order, the item we wanted (Ho’Jangles Biscuit), was out. We then asked about The Delta Biscuit and we were told that quite a few people sent it back. We finally decided on the shrimp and grits as well as the bottomless mimosas. Once the food arrived, it did not look like normal shrimp and grits. We tasted it and the sauce on it tasted like a mayo sauce and the shrimp were raw. We told our server that we did not like it and he said other people had sent it back. We decided to not order anymore food and just enjoy the bottomless mimosas. The server only came back to us twice in an hour and we had to ask another member of staff if our server could come back so we could try and enjoy the $35/per person mimosas. We each only got three pours. After another 15/20 minutes, we had to go to the front of the restaurant just to get our check. Our combined check total was $95. This price was for the mimosas and then an automatic gratuity of 18%. Once our cards were charged, we noticed an additional fee for credit card use and then a support staff fee of 1.50. So I ended up spending $47 for 3 mimosas. This was a horrible experience that was a waste of money.

My family and I went for a family member's birthday. We were very disappointed that we could only order off of the brunch menu which was very limited. My family drove an hour so that we could be together. The description of the restaurant mentioned Vicksburg as one of the inspirations of the "cuisine". Just so happens that we are from Vicksburg. Nothing there reminded us of our home town. Be careful with your marketing.

I was disappointed in my experience tonight at the Delta. I came here to celebrate my birthday. After traveling 30 miles, I learned that items were unavailable on the menu.

Dinner begins at 6pm and by 7pm items on the dinner menu were no longer available. Yes, it's a sign that the food is good. And yes, the restaurant does hide items when they are no longer available. In my case, this occurred simultaneously as my party and I were ordering dinner.

In my opinion, it's poor business to not have items available 60 minutes after dinner begins.

As a suggestion, the restaurant should include a statement that menu items may be unavailable and patrons are more than welcome to call ahead to confirm.

Trey was great! The vibes are great! However the food is a 0 out of 10. We glt the family breakfast. The grits had a funny taste to them. Whatever used to season the grits, stop! How do you mess up cheesy grits?!? The maple bacon, was smoothered in maple, why? As it chilled it became increasingly hard the separate the pieces. The breads served with the breakfast was not good. The biscuit taste doughy. The eggs were overcooked. Why was there thyme in the cornbread? It was hard as a brick. The French toast need more cinnamon.

They served me a raw chicken biscuit that was burnt on the outside. I told my waiter who was amazing and apologetic he offered to take it off the bill and another entree at no charge but the food was too mediocre to accept his offer. The atmosphere is fire but I do not recommend the food.

I'm extremely disappointed with this business. They frequently blast loud music several days a week, often until 12-4 AM, causing significant disturbance to the neighborhood. The outdoor patio is not up to code, which raises serious safety concerns. Despite numerous noise complaints filed by several neighbors, the owner has done nothing to address these issues. This lack of consideration for the community is unacceptable.

Food was delicious, highly recommend the fried chicken and grits. Bacon, eggs and tamales were also good. Service however was abysmal.....we arrived at 11 and finally got coffee at around 11.30. Then we'd to wait another 5 to 10 minutes to get cream. Food arrived close to noon. No refills on coffee ( 1 tiny slow pot) and no hot tea. Music was deafening and our polite requests to reduce the volume were not met well. The chef knows what he/she is doing but front of house needs work....which is a shame

Experience was great! Waiter was great but unfortunately they had one chef and it was not busy at all and he gave my waiter frozen tamales to serve me. Very disappointed wouldn’t recommend! Chefs does not take pride in their skills anymore.

The owners are refusing to pay employees! 20 people are waiting for multiple paychecks, and there is no end date insight. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE

I was so excited to dine at The Delta, having made a reservation for my husband and me. I planned this as a special surprise, especially since my husband has a personal connection with the group and this was a place that aligned with our dietary restrictions. When we arrived, however, our waiter informed us that they were out of the shrimp skewers and one of the vegan dishes I would have chosen from the menu. Additionally, the waiter mentioned that the egg rolls were cooked in the same oil as chicken and other meats, which limited our options further. We were quite disappointed, especially on a night we’d hoped would be memorable.

I visited this place after work, expecting to have a good time like I usually do, but I encountered the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Benjamin was an excellent bartender and truly exemplified great customer service. Unfortunately, Scottie was the complete opposite—she was unprofessional and rude. She spent her time gossiping about customers in a disrespectful manner, misusing her discount for select individuals, and even left with a customer. After this experience, I won’t be returning!

The food tasted great. I ordered the family platter for two and the amount of chicken on it was so small. I checked some photos of the dish on the reviews, and the amount of chicken I received was about half as much as the photos. The portions are not big.
