I recently visited Delta’s Restaurant in New Brunswick, NJ, and it definitely delivers when it comes to atmosphere and overall vibe. The space is very nice and feels upscale, especially the upstairs area, which has a great energy and feels perfect for a night out. It is the kind of place you go not just to eat, but for the full experience.

The service was quick, and everything came out in a timely manner. That said, the restaurant does automatically include a 20 percent gratuity, and you can sometimes feel that the attentiveness is a little less sharp because of the guaranteed tip. They also charge for everything, even cornbread, which you might expect to be complimentary at a Southern restaurant.

As for the food, the calamari was hands down the best I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, crispy, and packed with flavor. I would honestly go back just for that. The fried chicken is their signature, and while it was very good and well seasoned, I would not say it beats Popeyes, especially considering the price point. It is definitely solid, but the cost makes you compare it more critically.

Overall, Delta’s is on the expensive side, especially for Southern food. However, the vibes, drinks, and entertainment make it a great hangout spot. Just keep in mind that entertainment usually comes with an additional charge. If you are going for the atmosphere and a fun night out, it is worth checking out. If you are strictly going for value, you may feel it is a bit overpriced.

I used to visit Delta’s often as a teenager with my family and loved it then and decided to visit as an adult and let me tell you I made the right decision! Food, staff, music and atmosphere were all amazing and I enjoyed every single moment there. I will definitely be visiting again and have already told a lot of my friends from out of state they have to make a trip and try this fantastic restaurant out!

Love that this place is black owned, BUT the mandatory $8 per person for ‘entertainment’ is a bit bizarre. The entertainment was the DJ. AUTOMATIC…. 20% gratuity added for average service. ALSO not much parking except you find one on the street. The food overall was okay, had better. We sat upstairs. Unfortunately, the establishment comes off as greedy

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Delta’s. I must say that I came to this restaurant with no knowledge of them or referral. I saw the website when I searched restaurants in New Brunswick. I was visiting the area and wanted a good soul food spot. This restaurant had everything that I look for when picking a restaurant. Happy hour, music, good food, entrées, etc. When we arrived, it was after brunch, which was OK because we still wanted the food. When we entered, there was live music being played by the DJ. Asked if we had a wait and was told we didn’t and could be seated right away. We were given Amber as our waitress who was Amazing. She did everything she should and could for us without being asked. She told us what the most ordered items were on the menu, which were some of the ones we were thinking about anyway. The food did not disappoint at all. I sometimes feel when you go to restaurants, depending on the chef the collard greens are cooked differently. These were just right. We loved them. The crabcake hush puppies was next level. Nothing we ordered disappointed! Amber was attentive to us and listening to what we were singing when we got there. We happen to be celebrating a birthday and a promotion, and she ended our meal with a glass of champagne that said happy birthday and congratulations. It was a nice seal of the meal and the evening for us. Her attitude is very inviting and pleasant, and smiled the whole time we were there, when with us. If and when we come back to town, I hope to come back again and get Amber again also. It was 3 of us that dined. We all had an appetizer and entrée and drinks(2each). And with gratuity we spent about $85 per person, which is great in 2025.If you are ever in the area of New Brunswick or Princeton, I definitely recommend you go to Delta’s southern cuisine and cocktails restaurant.

Came here this Wednesday with my brother. The hostess, extremely rude and impatient. Almost made me turn around and walk out but I heard about the food so I gave it a try. My server Kaylyn very nice and attentive. She was probably
The best part of my dinner. The food although served hot at a decent pace was lazy. Not much love in the Rodizio nor the sides. The meats lacked seasoning, as well as the greens and yams. Mac and cheese was good nothing special. The henny sangria was SLAP but was a little light on the henny. Portions were good so I’ll give them that. Might be back for a brunch to give this place one more try. Beautiful restaurant with wonderful ambience just needs a little more attention to detail.

“Are you just saying hi, or are you dining in?”

That one question sums up why I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone based on customer service alone. It was easily the rudest greeting I’ve ever received at any establishment on this planet. As a BLACK MAN entering what’s looks to be the at the least majority black staffed establishment. I never been so coldly received and unwelcomed. Like I was begging to be seated and came in to establishment soliciting in soiled clothing. I believe if I was any other group of people I wouldn’t have be treated so poorly.
I arrived about 10 minutes late to join a party of TWO; my guest was already seated and informed the staff of my late arrival. The restaurant was maybe 1/5 full basically there was no need to delay my seating or be so strict on reservations especially when the party is already seated. One of the THREE hostess/staff at the stand asked if I had a reservation, in a tone that was already less than welcoming. I politely said, “My party is already here, Hold on please,” while I checked where my guest was sitting. Once I confirmed they were upstairs, I told the hostess. She then insisted I give the party name fine, so she can have someone escort me to the table. Which is weird but ok. But then, with the most nastiest condescending attitude, she asked, “Are you just saying hi, or are you dining in?” I was stunned. Why would you ask a paying customer that, especially when they’re clearly joining a seated party? It immediately killed my appetite and came there for brunch at 1pm on a Sunday. I never even got to find out what the food tastes like, because the way I was spoken to made me lose any interest in ordering anything not even a glass a water. Still my party had already ordered so basically said “HI” while they ate. Music was way too loud even sitting upstairs and still gratuity was already included. And ENTERTAINMENT FEE 2X I can’t believe it $36 is excess fees for one person dining. I didn’t even get a glass a water

The place is very nice and the atmosphere is good. We went at 7.30 pm on a Wednesday and not much people there. We had crispy calamari, mac and cheese, and the crab cakes. For dessert we had the red velvet cake and ice cream with waffles. All food was great. Rob’s service was great too. Very comfortable place. Music not loud which makes the place great for a date if you wanna be able to talk without screaming.

I ordered take-out online because it was a Sunday right after they opened and I knew they would be busy. Ordering online was a straightforward process and pick-up was fast and easy. Metered street parking is a challenge here and Delta’s offers valet parking. My food was flavorful, portion size was great and plating presentation was eye appealing. However, menu pricing was on the higher side. Hostess at pick-up desk was polite and efficient.

Relaxing Sunday vibes music welcomes you as you enter.
The front door makes you think the location is small, BUT what a spacious open restaurant. You don’t feel as if you are on top of the foodies next to you. From the walls to the chairs to the pictures, the restaurant is culture filled in its decoration. The food is so good. We had the steak egg roll, and the spicy ketchup could have used a kick of spice. The catfish and turkey wings were full of flavor. Our waiter, Amber, answered all questions, gave honest food advice, and she made sure our cups were always full. The Delta is a restaurant that I will surely visit again !!!
