- Fantastic Creole Food from New Orleans.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 12/30/2009 - Try this place!Went here the other day with a friend who recommended the place, and was excited to try the fried green tomatoes as I'd never had them before. Was pleasantly suprised at how spacious the place was. Very cozy & unpretentious with pretty xmas lights decorating the place--dimly lit, music not too loud (so you could enjoy it but still have a conversation), staff very cheery. Nice & warm with a mellow...

It is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC which has some of the best food. ANd the warm corn bread is spectacular. The jambalaya and poor boy plates are incredible.
Its d??cor is like a little escape to Bourbon Street. I took a group of 6 people there and everyone ...

Read More On Citysearch bizzyscho 1/26/2007 - Felt like I was back in New OrleansThe Delta Grill is a little piece of New Orleans in NYC. The choices on the menu make it hard to pick just one thing. The Jambalaya is nice and spicy...delicious. The best part of dinner was the Bananas Foster, one of my favorite desserts. Definitely leave some room for that, the serving is enough for two people.

From what I've seen this place looks like it belongs in the French quarter with its decor even though I've never been there. The staff was more than pleasant, they really valued customer service. The food, well, my bbq ribs were just about the best I've ever had. The meat just fell right off the bone, th...

The waiter was pleasant and the food was great. I would go back again.
Read More On Citysearch littlecherub 10/16/2006 - Awesome but expensive.My husband and I ate here for our 1st Anniversary. The food was amazing. We started with Stuffed Mirliton which was fried chayote with shrimp and Alligator Sauce Piquant which was alligator meat stewed in a tomato based sauce. For our entrees with had Classic Jambalaya and Shrimp Creole. Everything tasted great and our waiter was polite and joking. However the price is expensive with entrees...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/15/2006 - Great Drinks, Excelent service!We arrived from Boston, hungry and tired and ready for drinks and appetizers and a bit of pampering. We passed many spots and randomly picked the Delta Grill.
The waiter could not have been more patient with us as we (okay, my wife) made her decision on appetizers. She had the Sticky Chicken, which was excellent (decadent, tangy and sweet) and the Crawfish Popcorn was very good and while w...
Read More On Citysearch ggoodliffe 7/26/2006 - Comfort FoodMy boyfriend and I eat here probably once a month. We live a block or 2 away and find that it hits the spot when all youre looking for is some good southern comfort food (especially when youre hungover!). The entrees are supersized and although I usually dont take doggie bags, in this case I do and i have dinner for another night or two. I find the fried chicken to be a stand out choice ... th...
Read More On Citysearch Briana 6/24/2006 - Great for brunch!!We went to The Delta Grill for Sunday brunch and thought it was awesome! Went early - around 12pm - and the place was mostly empty. By 1pm it was packed. Great brunch selections or you can order off the regular menu. We had omelets with fun things like tasso and andoulle sausage, poached eggs over biscuits, and this crazy omelet-in-potato thing - delicious!! The beignets were great too. Live...
Read More On Citysearch sshafer 4/25/2006 - Delicious New Orleans style food in NYCI've been to Delta Grill multiple times, with different groups of people, and everyone has loved it so far. There is a wide variety of Cajun style food to suit everyone. The bread that comes with dinner is hot and tasty. Service is friendly at the door, bar and table. The fried green tomatoes are my favorite. Frozen drinks are weak, so stick with something else
Read More On Citysearch jenniger 4/24/2006 - New Orleans in New York!My wife and I opted to skip Fat Tuesday at the "Grille" by showing up Sunday evening. We made a great choice in that there was a festive crowd, but ample seating available. I chose to order the Southern fried Catfish on a bed of succotash, smothered in an ettoufe' sauce that pulled it all together. From the first savory mouthfull I felt I was back in the French Quarter! I can honestly say I h...
Read More On Citysearch crazy4food 4/6/2006 - Cajun FunMy dining partner and I traveled to 9th street and stumbled on this place. From the outside, it didn't look like much, but once we entered, it was like we had entered an established place in New Orleans. Before we ordered, we dined on the corn muffins (which would have been better had they been served warm). I ordered the chicken creole, and my partner ordered from the brunch menu (French Quarter...

Read More On Citysearch by Q g. at Judy's Book 8/15/2005 - Expensive But Great CajunIts good and its Cajun. The prices here can be exorbitant enough to consider purchasing a ticket and flying to New Orleans. The service is spotty at times, but the food makes up for it. Its a place for the Cajun junkies who won't find much Southern loving anywhere else in midtown.
Read More On Citysearch b00pi3flak3s 7/2/2005 - Nice lunchHad an early lunch there and husband and I both enjoyed our meal. Had the soup of the day (shrimp/corn chowder?) and Po' Boys (shrimp for me, BBQ for him). Very quiet at that time of day (or perhaps because it was raining), waitress was very pleasant. Would definitely go there again.
Read More On Citysearch bbowers 6/1/2005 - Slipping...I am a semi-regular at the Delta Grill, and unfortunately have witnessed the decline in their food. There are still some stalwarts that you can count on, but you have to be careful with what you order. The Muffaletta is a little disappointing, while the Cheese Grits still rock. The Gumbo is great, but the crawfish fizzles. Not sure what the problem is back in the kitchen, but yes I have to admit ...
Read More On Citysearch Godzuki24 5/2/2005 - EXCELLENTI'm not sure what these other people are talking about...I walked out of the Delta last weekend knowing that the pork chops were the best I'd ever had. Two thick and tender slabs of chop were excellent! That was the second time I'd been there and each time I'd been very satified with my meal. The first time I went, I got the crawfish etouffe...very good.
If you're looking for an excellent, re...
Read More On Citysearch kevinrut12 4/13/2005 - mmm...spicy!Went on a friend's recommendation, and I'm so glad I did. It was pretty crowded, but we were seated immediately (2 people, 6:30 pm on a Saturday night). The jambalaya was delicious, and I don't know why some other reviewers are throwing accusations of blandness--it was very spicy, just at the edge of my heat tolerance. The portion was generous, too; I had enough leftovers for a good lunch the...
Read More On Citysearch serinde 1/12/2005 - Highly RecommendedMy husband and I love this restaurant. We live in the neighborhood, and often bring family and friends to dinner at Delta Grill. Everyone has really enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant--I've never been disappointed by its food.
Read More On Citysearch ms1303 10/17/2004 - If you like edible food, don't eat here!
This is by far the worst meal out, I have ever eaten. The staff is nice, but they have the awful job of having to sell bland food as "amazing" treats. The appetizers are better tasting than the entrees. Skip the pork chop if you don't like tasteless slabs of meat on your plate. The food is so awful you will feel embarrassed for suggesting it to your friends!
Read More On Citysearch bucklemyshoe 7/8/2004 - Heavenly DeliciousMy friends and I have returned here 3 times. We are often the kind of people who would not spend up to 20 $ a meal for each person ... but this place is special!!! If your anything like my friends and I try this place at least once for a special occasion! Highly recommend the Leonores Chicken and Jambalya.
Read More On Citysearch fluxingchaos 5/2/2004 - A better cajun/creoleNew Orleans fare has become difficult to find as of late. This restaurant serves very good cajun/creole food. They are a little understaffed, making the service a bit slow at times. But it's forgiveable, where else can one get good jambalaya and a bottle of red voodoo ale?
Read More On Citysearch siglucid 2/19/2004 - Requires Saint-like patienceThis place would actually be a nice value for good food, but the service is terrible. Open tables abound, but they still act like seating you is a tremendous favor. After sitting for 15 minutes, the waitress finally gave us menus and took a drink order. 20 minutes later she came back and asked "anything else?" without ever bringing us drinks or taking a food order. When our meal was finally d...
Read More On Citysearch sgh73 10/13/2003 - Ah garunteeThe Delta grill is a nice slice of Nawlins' in New York. The hurricanes, though not as good as Pat O's, were nice and strong. The appetizers and soups were in such portions that we didn't order a main. The turtle soup (special) and chicken and andouille gumbo were great. Same for the alligator sauce piquant, hushpuppies, and fried okra - but get the dipping sauce from the hushpuppies instead....
Read More On Citysearch Seagate 2/27/2003 - Feels like Nawlins!Raised in the great City of New Orleans, I have come to expect very much from eating establishments and I concede that immitating creole cuisine is not easy. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant's attempt. Although it wasn't authentic, it was pretty damn close and pretty damn good all the same. So far, it's the closest I've encountered in the city. Try it!
Read More On Citysearch Gradle 2/10/2003 - Yo, Blacken This!Awesome Southern fare, Food is out of this world. Service needs improvement, but don't let that keep you from puttin a little south in yo mouth. Crawfish Pie to start with and Lenores chicken as your entree and you'll be in heaven. Check out the ceiling fans.

Host - Older guy who acted as if he was doing us a favor. Bartender - had to wait and wait then actually call his attention for a drink when he was B.S.ing for at least 10 minutes three feet away. Food - Less than average. We tried 5 things on the menu (Crab fingers, Raspberry salad, Macaroni and Cheese, Fried Crawfish and Sticky Chicken). In short - Service was horrible, food was weak and ta...
Read More On Citysearch Billwaynes 7/19/2002 - Not even close to CajunAnyone who thinks this is good cajun has clearly never had real cajun cooking. There was KETCHUP in my jambalya! You must be kidding! Kitschy decor.
Read More On Citysearch coreyacooper 6/28/2002 - N'awlins for realThey really try to make the New Orleans cuisine authentic here, I think they do a pretty great job. The vibe is pretty frat-boy (not unlike the source city), and I wouldn't call it cheap here. The Shrimp Remoulade is particularly yummy. The bar area can get quite fiesty--it might even be more of a bar scene than a food one, despite the quality of the latter.
