Welcome to the Delta Grill, where we're not only known for our down-home comfortable atmosphere, but our delicious food. Our chef, Gregory Tatis, is home grown from Queens and started his illustrious career at Nickelodeon in Astoria. Gregory then proceeded to go south of the Mason-Dixon Line to famous Cajun Chef Paul Prudhomme's kitchen at K-Pauls, where he cooked for over eight years. Whether you're looking for something blackened, barbecued, Creole, or Cajun--look no further. When creating the Delta Grill, owners Tom Burns and Tom Sullivan envisioned a classic Louisiana roadhouse eatery with superior food and a welcoming atmosphere. Burns and Sullivan also own the Streetcar Cafe around the corner at 370 W. 46th St. between 8th and 9th Avenues. Make sure to drop by after work or next time you're in the neighborhood.

Terrific Food, Attentive Service
The breadbasket is very good--sweet cornbread counterbalanced by spicy, fluffy rolls. As for the mains, the crawfish etouffee is simply to die for. The po-boys are enough food for 2 people, come with fries, and are $10-$12. The only main I've had that I would not recommend is the jambalaya--it's so spicy you can barely taste anything after a couple bites (and I'm the kind of person who puts tabasco on everything). The service is excellent. Servers come by with just the right frequency to clear dishes and offer you more drinks.

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm....
We have visited New Orleans on a few occasions and this restaurant really did a great job of capturing the heart of all of New Orleans is. We felt like we were eating at a place in New Orleans. The food was wonderful southern style greatness. We got the chicken fried steak, and red beans and rice, and an alligator appetizer. I would imagine this would be a great place to come and just hang at the bar on a Sunday for football or something as well. Lots of great LA local brews. Over all fun great place and will return for sure!

Dinner after matinee
$60 for 3 beers, shared appetizer, two monstrous Po Boys, two excellent coffees and a shared dessert. Great value. Fried grirs were amazing.

A Lot of Food, Great Service, Food Rather Banal
I went to the restaurant, it was pretty lively. The atmosphere was festive and very much like New Orleans. After a 25 min wait, my guest and I were seated. I didnt mind the wiat considering it was a Friday. The service was great. The server was very gracious and told us the specials. The food arrived promptly. I got the Salmon and found that the portion was very large, and I couldnt finish it despite my best efforts. My guest didnt finish her meal either it was so much. She got the shrimp ettoufe. The appetizers were very tasty. The entires, however, was bland considering it is a Cajun place, I had to add salt and hot sauce. The food was greesy for no reason considering the food lacked the soulful interplay of flavors and heat so necessary to good Cajun cuisine. Final thought, if you value large portions over rich flavors, this is the place for you. I would go back for the bar which seemed really fun.

Very good experience
We are two Italian tourists and we had a very nice experience at Delta Grill, where we ate hot gumbo, jambalaya and chicken creole. Ah, I forgot the dessert, a tasty bread pudding with icecream and sweet sauce. It was our first experience with Creole cuisin, but we found it very interesting (we love spicy food!). Portions are very rich; service kind and prompt. The ambiance is nice (we sat at a table, behind there was a great murales depicting an alligator) and I did not find the restaurant extremely expensive. Should we be again in New York, we'll surely come back.

N'awlins No Longer
We had eaten in the Delta Grill a while ago and walked by last night after theater for dinner and decided to try it. I should have read the reviewer who said Greg Tantis the chef left for Brooklyn because the kitchen now has guys in it who have no understanding of Southern food. They take beautiful Gulf shrimp and proceed to put them in salty spice mix sauces of no description. The catfish was fresh and similarly sauced, but with cream. The collards were so tough we sent them back. Not knowing that the chef had left I told the owner on the way out that he needs to hire someone who understands what this cuisine is all about to oversee the kitchen. He was very nice and said he'd look into it. Let's hope a future reviewer will kind out he if does find a real Southern chef.
