About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
WE SPECIALIZE IN FOOD INSPIRED BY DELLA'S TEACHINGS.
PURE. SIMPLE. DELECTABLE.

The name, Della J's Delectables, was inspired by my mother, Della, who along with my father, Lee, provided the inspiration for everything I do. I added my own modern twist to some of my mother’s favorite recipes and included a few new favorites, thus Della J’s was created. Come and enjoy a taste of pure, simple, delectable home cooked foods. We are certain you will love our food and we look forward to seeing you soon.

    Everything was great; Food, service, it was pretty crowed and we had to wait to be seated 20 minutes for our table even though we had a reservation. There was an event going on, which took up half the space in the restaurant. Anyway, I enjoyed my meal and the service was good. I will be going back.

    Great food, servers was attentive, a little of a wait for things but to be expected when food is homemade. If you are looking for g for a good lunch /dinner spot don’t hesitate to give it a try. Their history is also quite noteworthy if you care to read up on the backstory.

    Great family dinner on a Saturday night. Service was on point by Ms. Sidney. She was sweet, funny and informative. The catfish and grits was absolutely delish, shrimp and grits was a 4/5, kids ckn fingers were huge and good, cajun ckn alfredo was ok, but a little bland and the jumbalya pasta was excellent. Everyone loved the biscuits and cornbread. We were hoping to hear live music, but was told they only have it on Thursday nights. Overall, we enjoyed it and will definitely be back:)
