I had an amazing experience at Della J’s for my lunch. The moment I walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. The food tasted truly homemade comforting, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.
The fried chicken was crispy and delicious, the collard greens were yummy, and the black-eyed peas with ham were seasoned just right. I also loved the red velvet waffles with my fried chicken such a perfect combo! The tilapia fillet sandwich was fresh and satisfying, too.
Portions are big and absolutely worth every penny. I left happy and full! Definitely one of the best Southern comfort spots in Alexandria.

Visited on Valentine’s Day or a Saturday afternoon. Easy to make a reservation online. We were promptly greeted and checked in and seated. The staff were friendly and we were able to order fairly quickly after being seated. Our server gave great recommendations to patron favorites on the menu. Their sweet tea is really good – sweet mixed well with lemon. There was a special Valentine’s Day menu and drinks and we were given a personalized candy treat after we were finished dining. We had two entrees – beef medallion which was on the special menu – shrimped stuffed with crab, the garden salad, and a slice of sweet potato pound cake. The entrees were great portion sizes with an array of sides to choose from. The food was good and lightly flavored. We truly enjoyed the dining experience and will be visiting to try their brunch staples!

We’ve been loyal fans of Della J’s Delectables since their Springfield days!! This place is the definition of soul food done right. Every single dish is packed with flavor and consistency and no matter how many times we visit, the food is always top-notch. It’s become our go-to sit-down spot, and we genuinely look forward to every meal there.
The ambiance is so inviting and comfortable and we love the art. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, enjoy amazing comfort food, and feel right at home.
And we have to give a special shout-out to the staff!! Sidney, our regular server, is FANTASTIC!! She knows our usual orders by heart, always makes sure we have everything we need before we even think to ask, and has become a friend we look forward to seeing each time. Whitley at the front is equally amazing, making everyone feel welcome the moment they step through the door.
In short, Della J’s is the place we always recommend and we always take folks from out of town here! It’s a gem!

I was put in charge of finding a spot for our group, so I turned to TikTok to see what was trending in Alexandria..Della J’s came up with great reviews, so we decided to give it a try.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and while the service was a bit slow, the food was absolutely worth the wait! We did have one issue where hair was found in a dish, but the staff handled it perfectly—they immediately took it back and remade the entire entree without hesitation.
On the downside, the hostess was a bit short/rude with us, though we chose to be patient given she was an older lady. Also, the women’s bathroom had a very persistent, unpleasant odor that several people in our group noticed throughout the visit.
Overall, the kitchen knows what they are doing and the food is delicious, but a few improvements in the atmosphere and front-of-house would make it a 5-star experience!”

Saw a Tiiktoc video advertised was in the area so my client and I stopped. Ordered 1/2 BBQ chicken only because I saw someone’s plate as I was seated. Baby the visuals of the other plate enhanced my plate when it came to the table.
Presentation was to perfection, enough sauce but not over bearing. I ordered the greens and Mac and cheese. Typical soul food sides, nothing to say ooh la la, but the sweet potato mash tasted like a high end sweet potato pie and the Bbq sauce had a slight hickory flavor. Yes, you could taste the freshness of the chicken.
Overall, I would recommend stopping; not just for the food, but great customer care.

The customer service was definitely standard …no issues there. I was greeted with a warm hello, and even though a few condiments were missed, they were quickly corrected without any problem.
I ordered the Whiting dinner plate. The fish itself was cooked well, and the tartar sauce was great. However, the mac & cheese was very dry, and the collard greens were soggy and somewhat tasteless. It might’ve been because I ordered around 5 PM, and the food had been sitting for a while.
I also ordered a side of hush puppies, and while they tasted fine, I only received about five for $8.95, which felt like a poor value because there small. For the price, I expected a bit more food or better proportions.
Overall, it wasn’t a horrible experience … the staff was kind and the fish was good but between the sides and portion sizes, I don’t think I’ll be back.

If you’re looking for amazing food and a welcoming atmosphere, Della J’s is the spot! We went with family and tried a variety of dishes—calamari, salads, jambalaya pasta, stuffed fish, fried chicken strips, ribs, mac and cheese, mashed sweet potatoes, and French fries—and everything was a solid 10/10. The only dish that was just good rather than great was the stuffed salmon, but even that was still enjoyable.
The biscuits and cornbread were absolutely delicious, and everything came out hot and fresh. One thing that stood out was how friendly the chefs were—they personally bring out the food, which adds a nice touch. The drinks were solid, and the restaurant itself is clean and inviting.
They were extremely busy when we went, and it did seem like they could use a few more staff members. Our waitress was amazing, but she had too many tables to handle alone. Not sure if that was just a one-time thing or if they’re consistently short-staffed, but it was noticeable.
Della J’s is a no-frills, casual spot where you can go in workout clothes or whatever you have on—it’s all about the food and good company. Highly recommend for a laid-back, delicious meal with loved ones!

11/11/2025-The catfish meal was delish. It was full of flavor and it didn’t need any condiments to enhance the taste. I’m a southern gal so the greens for okay. They were seasoned but only a little. The potato salad was good. Peach cobbler was just right! Not to sweet but sweet enough. The coconut pound cake was very flavorful and sweet but Hard! I thought it was because it was in the frig…but he was actually old. This is one of my go to restaurants.

We met here for brunch. It was a great time! The waitress was cordial and allowed us all the time we needed to decide on our orders. The manager is personable, funny and was kind enough to take our group picture.
We started with the mozzarella sticks and boom boom mushrooms. So good!!
NY Strip with scrambled eggs and home fries, fish and grits, chicken and red velvet waffles, and an omelette. Everything was delicious and well-prepared.
Overall, everything was good and I highly recommend you go see for yourself. Get the spiked Arnold Palmer!
