This place was the tits. I was balls deep in my food. From the whole vibe of the restaurant and the staff was awesome. And our sever was a Florida native like me and my fiancé and that made the experience even better. We will definitely be coming back. The menu was perfectly executed just like our meal. And I can’t wait to try more of what they are throwing down back there in that kitchen. 🤘🏻

I ordered takeout. The chicken was still crispy, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes were great, definitely home made. The greens had a nice tang from vinegar. The pecan pie was a perfect treat to tie it together. Lemonade was perfectly sweet. I would order again for sure.

Where do I even start? It’s like a chemistry experiment went bad. The flavors are just awful. Ok let’s explain. #1 the chicken was dry as it gets and burned. I’m not sure what mix they used on the breading but it was almost bitter and wet on the bottom. It was gross! #2 chicken mashed potatoes and gravy. Didn’t know you could mess up taders and gravy. Chicken was like bubblegum chewy and the flavor just again so bad. It has chives in it. But it’s like someone dumped a metric ton of onion powder in it as well. Gross! #3 Hush puppies don’t know what flavor that is? Had tons of great hush puppies in my day. These are like someone took cat food got it wet put it in a blender and then deep fried it. Gross! #4 Mac-n-cheese basically Popeyes chicken Mac with a bucket of onion salt. Gross! Moving on. #5 Chicken fried steak what can I say wet soggy and disgusting! Gross! It seems to try and be a hip and cool place but it is definitely not. Anyway if I could give it a negative star review I would. Save your money and go just about anywhere else. Waisted earnings for sure. Very sad!

Good atmosphere, friendly staff. The neighborhood was eclectic and it was a great vibe of customers. Its a rare thing I've realized recently to find a place that just makes you feel comfortable and the staff was REALLY fantastic. it was my first visit, but obviously I would return. The food was a but over priced.. It was good though. Lots of spices and flavors. The bartender was smiley and all in all, my friends and I enjoyed ourselves.

Guinevere Story Tale

We were heading to Ikea, and the traffic was so bad around 430ish pm. We figured that we get something to eat while waiting for the traffic to die down. My daughter and I wanted some Thai or Vietnamese food. My husband had wanted to go to Delta Cafe for a while now. He swore up and down that this place was awesome (in his defense the last time he went was like 20plus years ago). He recommended some dishes from what he recall of the menu. We got to the place and was able to get a parking space so that is plus already. The place is not much to look at, but this type of place that have moms and dad's vibe simply the best places to eat so I did not mind the "dive bar" ambience. We went to seat ourselves and we had the server walk to us right away. The place was fairly empty with two other occupied patrons in the booths by the bar area. We first went to the window seating, but it is too cold. That is the first I noticed about the place that it was cold and dark. The decor is what I would expect from the place... misfits and mismatch that has a charm to it. The server asked right away what we wanted for drink and my husband said to give us a moment. Ok this sounds weird, but she was staring or had this awkward moment like waiting... unsure if she heard him saying we needed more time. We got to this place around 4:50pm. We moved table at this time and waited for the server to come back and we sat there for a good 15 min before we sent our daughter to search for her. My daughter said that she is the only one working server so that is forgivable. She came to take our order like within 10 mins I believed. My daughter blesses her heart decided to share with me since she thought that the menu was not palatable. We ordered the fried chicken and blackened catfish. We ordered 7 up and my husband ordered some drink on their special menu. My daughter complaining that there was so much ice in the 7up that she took to sip and that was it. No refill since the server did not bother to even check with us. When the food finally came around...I posted on FB and it looks like the food was served 5 minutes before 7pm. The chicken was flavorful and hot unfortunately it was chewy and dry. The mash potato was not bad, it was actually tasty. The cheesy grits whatever that thing was so bland, I had to dipped in the mash potato to make it tasty. My husband fish was cold. I mean literally cold inside. The beans were cold. The rice was cold. The collard greens were good but a bit salty but at least it was somewhat warm. My husband told the server that the food was really cold. She apologized and went to the kitchen and took a bit of time to get back with us. She came with the new fresh fish, but she did not take into account that the rest of the meal was cold. She keeps apologizing. We ended eating the chicken for 3 of us. There is not much choice. My husband did not eat his food and the one replacement fish as well. The waitress stands next to our table and states that can she make an excuse for the food being cold. She went on to say that they are understaff and the place is cold (broken heater or some shit like that) so that is why the food is cold. If one food is already done, then send to the table and don't let it sit there waiting for the other to finish! Apologize then that the food will be delivered at different times instead of having it sitting there and getting cold! Also, we noticed that there is not a lot of noises coming from the kitchen since they advertise that the meals are cooked from scratch, you would think that the kitchen will be louder. When we left, the two people that is supposed to be cooks are just standing around chit chatting. Good GOD what a horrible place...dirty and shitty service and overall awful food! NOT RECOMMENDED. The only the thing that came from that horrible place is that we did not get charge for the fish dish. I would throw a fit if they had insisted that we pay for it.

Delicious, distinctive Cajun food, inspired cocktails, funky vibe, super happy hour but prices all day extremely reasonable. Yet to be disappointed by anything ordered there. Of note: smoked chicken gumbo and pork stewed collard greens.

The country fried steak was okay, but they murdered the eggs. My son got the hash with poached eggs, which were also basically hard-boiled, and the brisket was tough and had bones.

We tried going this place for brunch, but we left after 10 minutes with zero acknowledgement waitresses were terrible talking to each other while we were just sitting there, and when we left we saw they put the silverware in the glass where we were supposed to drink our water absolutely disgusting who knows many people touched that silverware before it went into that glass. NEVER NEVER AGAIN go at your own risk.
