Oprah-approved mac & cheese, fried chicken, and Southern staples
"This soul food spot at Chattahoochee Food Works comes with Oprah’s seal of approval on its mac and cheese. Owned by Philadelphia chef and cookbook author Delilah Winder, her eponymous food stall serves crispy fried chicken as platters, sandwiches topped with bread and butter pickles, po’boys with creole mayo and Merlin’s Magic seasoning, and even a chicken BLT. Plates come served with collards, cornbread, and the aforementioned mac and cheese. Make sure to also order Deliah’s fried green tomatoes and a strawberry lemonade. A second location is now open at Politan Row at Ashford Lane in Dunwoody." - Mike Jordan
"If you want fried chicken but don’t have the energy or time for a full sit-down meal, swing by Delilah’s Soul Food at Chattahoochee Food Works on the Upper Westside. It’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The fried chicken is juicy and flavorful with a shatteringly crispy crust, and the sides hold their own—the mac and cheese is gooey and well-seasoned, while the cornbread is extra moist and sweet like cake. Even though Chattahoochee Food Works has a trendy, buzzy vibe, Delilah’s feels more comforting. Expect to be greeted with old-school charm, a smile, and some easy-going banter when you pick up your food." - demarco williams, jacinta howard
"Like most food halls, Chattahoochee Food Works can be hectic. So Delilah's Everyday Soul is where you’ll want to head when you want a comforting, sit-down meal. Expect to be greeted with old-school charm, a smile, and some easy-going banter while you wait on them to fry up your order. The chicken is juicy, seasoned through-and-through, with a crispy coating that isn’t just flour—you can actually taste the spices. The sides (you get two with the dark meat plate) are good too, like gooey mac and cheese or cornbread that's as sweet as cake." - jacinta howard

"Delilah's Everyday Soul in Chattahoochee Food Works is a solid stop when you’re on the Upper Westside and need a soul food fix. You can grab a seat on the wooden counter or hover around a few minutes for an easy takeout dinner. The star of the show here is the dark meat plate, featuring two pieces of snappy fried chicken with a well-seasoned crust. Pair it with the cornbread, which is soft, sweet, and practically melts on your tongue. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair Food Rundown Dark Meat Plate You get two sides of your choice and two pieces of crunchy, juicy fried chicken (a leg and a thigh), which are pepped up with savory seasonings. Collard Greens The collards are seasoned well enough but are even better when you use your sweet cornbread to sop them up. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Mac & Cheese The mac and cheese is good and gooey, with cheese that stretches in long, golden strands from your fork. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Cornbread This cornbread is cake-like and good. Crumbs stick to your butter knife when it slices through the soft, honeyed bread. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Fried Chicken BLT This spot makes great fried chicken, so the breaded, fileted chicken sandwich reflects that. The batter is golden and crispy, sandwiched between buttery, pillowy bread and topped with mildly spicy creole mayo, lettuce, and sweet pickles." - Jacinta Howard
