The pork spare ribs Mac and cheese and pulled pork was delicious. Brisket could have been a bit better but overall the food is delicious. The service is amazing. I love coming here

Visited Miss Delta in Portland and had a mixed experience. The service was good, which I appreciated, but my drink came in a dirty glass. I ordered the pulled pork, it had good flavor but was too watery, and serving it in a paper boat made it soggy. The highlight of the meal was definitely the mac and cheese rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious.”

Do not waste your money meat was so spicy I could taste the meat. The red beans and rice should be called red beans with a side of rice. It is dry. The best thing was the peach cobbler is a cake with peaches it is not a crust

This place is fire! I am troubled to admit that I live in Portland and had not heard of this place as they have been in business since 2007. Where the heck have I been? It’s a BBQ place in an old brick store front building with fun decor. It’s clean and smells heavenly of BBQ. There is an easy menu with the flexibility to get all the goods you want. They have it all… brisket, ribs, pulled pork, burnt ends, catfish, shrimp, chicken, and more. The sides are AMAZING, too. I had collard greens and red beans and rice, topped with their pulled pork. All meals come with a cornbread muffin and honey butter. My son ordered the candied sweet potatoes, and they were the best I have ever tasted. They also have a full bar. The service team was very friendly and attentive, too. I heard they serve brunch, and I can’t even imagine how good that would be. Needless to say, I’m going back.
I’m not certain they could accommodate a large group unless they have more seating in another area, but I could be wrong.

Not sure of the authenticity of the food.
BUT it was mostly tasty.
I guess you don’t go to Portland for Cajun soul food right??
Burnt ends- tasty but fatty
Mac n cheese- definitely not soul food but tasty
Gumbo- my friend liked it
Fried green tomatoes- loved the crust and texture but TOO salty.
Sweet tea/ 100% good!
Service is very friendly and the place is super cute and eclectic

Food was pretty good. Chicken was salty, so were fries. I got the burnt ends, not enough for the al a carte price but flavor was decent, fish was a nice size fillet (happy). Sides: mac, greens, red beans and rice, all good. Good size portions for sharing, prices are high but represents the location. Service was good, I requested a big table ahead of time for a celebration and owner was very responsive and kind. Everyone liked their food.

We stopped in on Saturday, 2/16/25, around 10:30 AM. There was a sign asking guests to wait to be seated, but when the hostess finally came out, she just told us to sit anywhere. We sat for about 20 minutes without anyone acknowledging us—no drink orders, not even water. I understand they were busy, but when our server eventually arrived, there was no apology for the wait or any acknowledgment of our patience.
The food was a bit of a mixed bag. The biscuits and gravy were good, but the chicken fried steak was underwhelming. Service didn’t get any better throughout the meal—no one checked in on us after the food was brought out.
Overall, the experience fell short, and we’ve decided we won’t be coming back. If you’re looking for better quality food and friendlier service, I’d recommend checking out Grits and Gravy or Screen Door instead.

Let me start by saying that the staff was INCREDIBLE! We got a little bit of everything on the menu. There is a focus on southern barbecue. Unfortunately, the robust flavor commonly attributed to southern food was absent. Don’t get me wrong, the food was good, but not quite to the southern quality I have experienced elsewhere. I would recommend the blackened chicken(and likely anything else blackened), burnt ends, andouille sausage, and the sweet tea.
The parking situation is very Portland-esque so don’t expect a parking lot. There are lots of great local entrepreneur businesses up and down the street too!

This kind and caring Lil heartbeat of Portland is giving out free burgers and fries, or pulled pork poo boy’s, for free to (Snap) recipients. Very good food.

Chicken & Waffles are tasty, the main reason I come here. Greens are good, add pulled pork + the Mac & Cheese is ok. Red Beans and rice was a little dry, definitely needed hot sauce. Service was decent, atmosphere is comfy!
