Miss Delta Restaurant and Bar

This was such a nice surprise of a place! The food was soooo good! All the staff was so attentive and friendly and you could tell they LIKED being there! Plus the place itself was so cool and the art was fantastic! Gave us great things to talk about during our meal. Can't wait to return. This is a new Portland fave!

Accommodating & delicious. What a cute place that will make you feel like you’re next to an old train station in the bayou. Smoke from the kitchen helps to set the tone as does friendly & laid back staff. Very attentive. The food is 10/10. The red beans & rice had just enough spice. Great vibe and fun area. Side note- the pecan pie LOOKED amazing. Straight out of an old homemade New Orleans kitchen.

The service was phenomenal, even got into talking books with the server. This food was mouth watering. The collard greens are tangy but also not entirely soft and soggy, bit of a snap still; cornbread was flavorful and the honey butter is rich and creamy; cheese grits were SO DELICIOUS I almost started weeping; and the ribs were well marinated, tender, and the sauce is sweet and sour at the same time. Excellent. The bloody Mary is also probably one of the best mixes I've tasted in Portland, salty and vinegary with pickled asparagus. Get. Your. Butts. Over. Here.

Spectacular service, very attentive staff. My favorite was the burnt tips, which was mouthwatering and left you wanting for more. The brisket was slightly dry, but adding the sauce gave it that extra flavor. I enjoyed the coleslaw, but not really the collard greens, it is a vinegar base flavor. Overall, I will be back since a girl from the south will always crave bbq!

Stopped by for dinner on a Saturday. Required reservations to get a seat inside, so sat at the bar. Got the two meat option: blackened chicken, crispy edges, Mac n cheese & collard greens. Overall it was quite good. Least favorite was probably the mac n cheese, nothing too special. The two meats were very flavorful & fairly tender. The crispy edges were not too fatty, which was nice. Would come back, for sure

Went with family and had an incredible time our didn’t get the name of the gentleman in front but he was so sweet and kind. The food was awesome, 10/10 I ordered the catfish 1 piece thinking it wouldn’t be that big but it was a nice size. I can’t wait to come back when I take another trip to Oregon!

The food smelled SO good, I forgot to take pictures because I couldn't wait to dig in. But here's the leftovers I brought home... and what I'll say is, WOW. We are so glad we finally made it to Miss Delta's! I had the fried chicken (breast and wing) and even the breast was tender, juicy, crispy and absolutely delicious. The gumbo was equally good, rich and hearty. And the sides were just as good... we had candied yams, mac & cheese & collards - which had delicious chunks of pork in them. Portions were - plentiful - and we both came home with leftovers. Definitely go visit Miss Deltas!!

Very small portion and overpriced. Look at their little cornbread that cost “U$D3” and they served with hard butter 🧈. This place used to be a good deal but not anymore. I do not recommend for the cost benefit.

It was our first time there. We came when it wasn't too busy. We were quickly seated and the service was very friendly to us. I ordered their small jambalaya, with some collard greens and a lemonade, all three were delicious. I also liked their music. When I return to Portland, I'm coming back here for sure.

Across the street at our normal brunch spot, noticed Miss Delta for the first time. It was a little hit and a little more miss. Tried the spicy stack and the biscuits and gravy. While it was decent, there were some big chunks of sausage - normally great but the meat was bright pink on the inside. Told our server about this and he just looked at it and said "okay." Though that was an odd response. Expected a "sorry about that," or something to that effect. Subbed that out for the biscuits and mushroom gravy. It was lacking in flavor and body. When I paid the check and mentioned this, the server seemed surprised. Enjoyed the spicy stack and the coffee. Cute spot. Might try it for lunch but will definitely be sticking to the regular brunch spot.

I had high expectations for this place, because its always packed. My friend ordered the sweet stack, he enjoyed it. The fried chicken was well fried. I got the fried oysters and the a la carte of brisket, burnt ends, and a side of cheese grits. The oysters were good, the breading was good! But the bbq.. the brisket was extremely dry. I took 1 bite and it was dry and bland. The burnt ends were very dry and lean. I didnt have a good experience with their bbq.

While on vacation this was the first place we ate and I was left disappointed. I ordered the brisket, mac n cheese, and greens. I was served fried fish. The waiter allowed me to keep the fish and gave me the brisket as well. Everything I had lacked flavor and seasoning. The brisket tasted like smoke and that was it. My sweet tea was delicious and service was good. My fiancé enjoyed his shrimp and grits. Parking is scarce so you have to park in the housing tracks and walk down.

Very disappointed with the country fried steak and had higher expectations based on various reviews. Too much breading and steak was overcooked and dry. Gravy was not very flavorful, bland, and more was needed. Eggs are eggs so hard to mess that up and the potatoes had a sweet/savory seasoning. Should have followed our instincts seeing a line outside Gravy across the street and we were the only ones going in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Would have been a 1 star but the staff was nice.

Delicious!!! Everything was so tasty. 3 meat plate between 2 of us was so much food. The brisket was so tender and everything was flavored well. Highly recommended.

I went there with 3 people on a Monday afternoon and there was only one other couple there sitting at the bar, the server brought us water then disappeared for 20 minutes. When she emerged she closed out the people at the bar then disappeared again. On their way out we asked if we needed to order at the bar and they told us we should order at a different restaurant. We took their advice and left. Would not recommend. I've been there numerous times over the years and haven't ever experienced anything like that.

Food is great but this is the second time i have been shorted on a major order (over $100). Unacceptable. Feel majorly ripped off.

This is my ideal bbq joint - dank, dingy and delicious. Counter service, nothin fancy about the place, reminds me of a pizza joint with the booths. Been a couple times, tried the Shrimp n Grits and a hot chicken po boy, overall really enjoyed both. I've had some juicier sandwiches than The Hot Chicken Po Boy but it was seasoned very well and I like the texture of the breading a lot, and it was a pretty thick slice of chicken. The bread was also good and held together well. You can also pay extra to upgrade to a better side. This was my first time trying shrimp n grits so can't compare it but I liked it, it was deeply savory, cheesy and peppery. My only complaint would be since it's such a hearty portion, the last 1/3 of it (which I had to take home) got a bit too salty and peppery towards the end so I think it is a dish best shared. But still 5 stars.

Only one waiter in whole place! Poor guy! No wine? Ribs and brisket came out cold. Sent meat back for a yummy microwave reheat. Cole slaw tasted off. Corn bread cold. Would NOT RECOMMEND!

We went to Miss Delta's last night for dinner and a roach crawled on the table. I'm not sure if it was the owner or mgr but the guy knew exactly why my friend screamed and said we're working on the problem.

Recently met a friend for Sunday lunch at Miss Delta. Service was a little slow as they seem to be understaffed. I had the catfish and my friend had chicken and waffle. The catfish fillet was a decent portion, but was slightly overcooked. The fried okra was good also had the collard greens which were a little undercooked and under seasoned. The rice and beans were cooked separately, but we're pretty good nonetheless Overall, no complaints just not overly impressed. The restaurant has no real character; a little on the .shoddy side. I would expect a little soul music instead of pop. I think the music would be a big improvement just in itself. my friend had nothing to say about his chicken and waffle.

Went here for a work lunch and arrived at opening. Service was average and it wasn't long before we were asked if we were dining in or taking to go. We were given a jug of water and two glasses, so we always had water at the table. I ordered the two meat plate with greens and Mac and Cheese. The brisket was kinda tough but the burnt ends were great. The Mac and Cheese was good, and the greens were good but would have been better if they had meat. We requested meat but they were all out of the pulled pork they use for the greens. The ambiance was fine. Low lighting and clean. Would go back again to try other items.

So you are looking at Shrimp Po Boy that I had this past weekend from. I read a few good reviews before settling on it. When I got to the restaurant, the very nice staff person told me it was going to be so good and that he has it twice per week. My mouth was watering and I was ready to taste it. To my disappointment and surprise, this sandwich came with 4 shrimp...4!!! I asked for the sandwich to be cut in half, which evened out the shrimp at 2 per side. Unacceptable at $15.60 per sandwich. This sandwich was compromised of mostly bread and toppings with very little meat. It tasted okay, but not worth the price point given the lack of meat. The fries were standard crinkle cut fries.

We hadn't eaten at Miss Delta's in several years so we were curious as to what we would experience. We decided to make reservations due to the small environment and limited seating. That paid off we were seated immediately at a nice four top. The gentlemen that waited on our table were very kind and gave us five star service. Now the question was, will the food match the service? My wife ordered chicken and waffles with a side of maple syrup. The waffles were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with the perfect balance of sweet. The chicken was fried to perfection and had a nice season blend that coated. An awesome sweet and savory party going on. I order the two short ribs, red beans and rice and collard greens with a side of cornbread. The ribs were pull off the bone good covered in a nice sweet, slightly tangy and a hint of heat kind of sauce. The red beans and rice good ole souther good with a surprise of pulled pork over the top. The collard greens were cooked perfectly and not too salty also topped with pulled pork. We loved our meal and it most definitely stood toe to toe with the level of service we received. We'll be back.

Amazing applesauce griddle cakes. So perfect. The atmosphere is wonderful and all of the food tastes like it was made with love. Service was friendly and awesome.

I ordered delivery last week and the driver picked up the wrong order. Instead of making it an issue Tom, at Miss Delta, answered the phone, did some research called me back!!!! In the middle of busy dinner hour. He went over and above to fix the situation. Miss Delta is 10 out of 10 for me. That fabulous service is so rare and it was fantastic. Carol

I like this place! I'd go back again! Great selected, big portions and probably the best southern food you're gonna get out here in Oregon. I avoid trying other southern restaurants because by far this has been the best out of all of them. Wish we had more options.

Tried this place for the first time! Was not disappointed. The service was great, and the food was amazing. Fair prices made it even better! In a cute part of town. We will be visiting again:)

i've been eating at miss delta since it opened. my last two order have been, for a lack of a better word, kinda pathetic. tonight sealed the deal. i ordered a po boy and it was .... terrible. it was 80/20 bread. the filling was the saddest i've ever seen. they didn't even fill it with lettuce. i found one pickle and tomatoes which i asked to not have at all. this sandwich and side cost me almost 28$ with tip. the hardest part about this review is that their vegan greens are the best around. but i won't be back to miss delta. the prices got higher (which i understand) but the quality went down.

With a dash of salt, all the flavors jumped out. Soo good. And that muffuletta...bomb! Great feel to the place; decorated with local artwork.

If you are looking for Southern Comfort Miss Delta is great choice. The owner and chef keeps it real using local ingredients and creativity that will satisfy all diners. During Covid we were regular take away customers. This was our first in person visit and the vibe was friendly and cozy. Fried Pickles & Okra, Chicken and Waffles, Burnt Ends, and Etouffee were definite winners. Save room for dessert.

Some of the very best southern comfort food. I have tried many things, but always gravitate back to the meatloaf. It's the only meatloaf I eat besides my mom's recipe. I especially loved when they use to do the "trashy mac" where they would add the meatloaf to their mac and cheese. It is not a regular menu item anymore, but you can simply just get two sides of mac and the meatloaf and mix it up yourself. Definitely worth it. The food is always top notch, the service is always very friendly and I always leave smelling like meat. What else could you ask for? I will definitely be back again and again.

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for brunch, the original plan was to go across the street but their wait was too long so we came here instead! We were seated right away which was great!! Food: overall 9/10! 1. Griddle cakes-9/10 the flavor was fantastic and the cakes were light and fluffy, the hint of nutmeg in the cakes make it that much better. 2. Chicken and waffles-9/10 the portion size of the chicken was HUGE! Came out pipping and fresh. The chicken breast was cooked to perfection, not too much breading, not too greasy and a good amount of flavor. The waffle was also pretty good but the chicken was the real star. The service was also great, shortly after being seated someone took our drink order then someone came back about 5 mins after that to take our food order. I would say the ambiance is chill and laid back. I would definitely return to check out their dinner service

Got to try some of their dishes through catering and I quite enjoyed them! We got a bunch of pulled stuffs: pork, chicken, and jackfruit. I thought all of them were tasty and flavorful. The meats weren't dry at all. Plus, extra flavor when you droused them with their original BBQ sauce that was the right balance of sweet and spicy. I also liked their black beans and rice and cornbread that were great pairings for the meats. All in all, very happy with the food and would be down to check them out at their restaurant sometimes!

I'm obsessed with banana pudding and love a good spicy southern meal so when I saw their Instagram post on a limited Banana Pudding Ice Cream from Nico's I had to stop in. It was 95 outside so it was perfect timing! I try not to only have dessert for lunch so I ordered the blackened shrimp & grits with a side of collard greens topped with pork (staff recommended) My bowl also came with a side of corn bread and (honey) butter. The shrimp bowl was top 5 for having this dish outside of New Orleans itself. Perfectly smooth and creamy base, very flavorful shrimp and that roux was to die for! Didn't need any hot sauce but when I noticed they make their own I had to try them. Bought a bottle of each to go as well! Portion size is pretty large, I took half the shrimp bowl home, had to save room for the ice cream after all. I also appreciate the hood to go bowl container, made it super easy to reheat for lunch the next day! Can't wait to go back and try the burnt ends and the Gumbo!

These greens are better than mine. Red beans and rice, pulled pork, fried pickles, this place never disappoints when I have the southern craving for the soul food. Everything I've tried here is deliciousness. The deserts are out of this world comfort- banana pudding and pecan pie. The Po boys look good too but I haven't tried them. They offer a range of different bottled sodas including sarsaparilla and crème sodas with sugar ( not HFCS) If you want the blast from the past and the best pulled pork on Mississippi Ave, this is the place. The. Service is fantastic and friendly. The ambience rocks with the old time decor and the flashback 80's rock.

The food was so good at this place we came away from Seattle just to try Miss Delta and we was impressed

Food and service were just okay. Sides were all "meh" and brisket was fatty and a little chewy. Food came out cold and nothing was spectacular EXCEPT the fried chicken and gravy. Service was slow and we had to flag down our server a few times because we were missing things. The price for the amount of food we got was decent, definitely had leftovers. I would maybe come back and try breakfast and get biscuits and gravy or chicken & waffles, since chicken and gravy were good. But in no means with seek this place out to eat.

I ordered 2 piece chicken and waffles, macaroni, banana pudding, and it was only okay. For the price it's not something I would order again. Not my flavor pallet. The food got here pretty quick so the service was nice. But I can't speak to the ambiance as I ordered to go. The chicken was large and over breaded in my opinion, and the waffle was pretty flavorless. Overall 3/5 stars for me.

Shrimp and grits are my favorite cold weather comfort food y'all. I was so énamoured with my visit to PoBoyz yesterday and saw it on their menu I was totally craving it, pandemic diet be damned. PoBoyz is closed on Sunday. I brought up the Grubhub app and did a general search for grits and up comes Miss Delta. I've heard many good things about this place for a long time now but with Covid and having a lazy boyfriend (now happily ex-boyfriend), we never went anywhere in the past 4 years. Plus I was just too lazy to think about ordering for myself either. PoBoyz inspired me. My order came very quickly. The grits container was still hot to the touch and the slice of cornbread was nice and warm too. I decided to try that first since bread always cools off so quickly. It's nice that the butter they included was soft and easy to spread. The cornbread was delicious, slightly sweet and with butter, just perfect. The grits were swimming in a blackened shrimp and andouille sauce that was just the right balance between sauce, shrimp and andouille bits. It was $18.00 so not super cheap so it's a good thing that there was plenty of it. I've got enough left over for a hearty lunch tomorrow. I'll be checking in again to try out their fried shrimp po boy. 2022 - Review # 9

Pulled pork, burnt ends, pulled chicken, friend shrimp, green salad + macaroni and cheese +red beans and rice. Food was incredible, the service was great, and they even brought us out some fresh pulled pork at the end of our meal, I guess just because?!?

I'm currently in hospital and looked forward to my cheat day meal, So I chose Miss Delta. The Mac n cheese wonderful, the mashers, delightful and I was absolutely excited to see Peach cobbler on the menu so I ordered it. unfortunately I ended up with the burnt one.

overall, ok restaurant! unfortunately they only had mushroom gravy left which wasn't that good. we enjoyed their mac and cheese. cornbread was moist. service was a bit slow.

Interesting ambiance. I ordered the catfish plate. My girlfriend ordered the pork ribs plate. The catfish was excellent. Perfectly cooked with cornmeal breading. Should be served with cocktail/horseradish sauce rather then tarter sauce! Pork ribs were good. Tasty and tender, but cold. Beans and rice were cold. Cornbread was cold. Coleslaw was not cold but lukewarm. IPA was good and her bloody mary was good. Total bill with tip $70.

First time customer at Miss Delta. The food tasted good overall... I loved the chicken fried steak and the mac-n-cheese! The potatoes were real and the portion size was good, but the gravy lacked flavor. I thought that was odd since I had gravy on the chicken fry...I guess that was flavored enough for both! I received pulled pork and coleslaw in error and was not charged for that, which I appreciated! The pulled pork was very good as well - I didn't care for their BBQ sauce as it was too vinegary for my taste, (same for the coleslaw). I'm from the Midwest and I know that vinegary sauce is traditional though, so that was a neutral experience for me. The reason for the lower star count was the confusion over the prices of the menu. The CFS was $13.25 on the menu and I asked what came with that and was told it came with 2 sides. Yeah, no... The $13.25 price is just for the CFS - and they added another $4 on because "the price of beef is so high." The meal, CFS, mashed potatoes w/gravy and mac-n-cheese, with a corn bread muffin, was $25.50. That's not too bad in the picture of life, but I don't like surprises and should not have had to even ask why my bill was so high. I also ordered a Jim and Coke, which was so heavy on the Jim I asked for more coke before I could even drink it.. If more was added, I couldn't tell - and I didn't drink it. $10.50; No prices for that anywhere either. It was an experience, just not one I will ever return for.

Rude service (stood at counter for several minutes without so much as a glance our way), food was ok but overpriced, and the kitchen was so smoky we had to pick up and leave immediately after eating. Also order at counter, buss your own table, and expect 18% tip on the iPad ? Won't return.

There was a time when I craved the fried chicken and 2 sides from Miss Delta's, one of the few places in Portland that offered real southern cooking and hospitality. But over the years, the food quality and service has suffered, which is disappointing, it feels like a friendship gone array. The fried chicken was not as succulent and the service felt like an inconvenience even on a day when they weren't busy. Hope they get back to the level they once were.

Superb southern cuisine, expertly prepared with a flavor-forward presentation. Our go-to for Friday night take-out dining. Highly recommended.

Best shrimp and grits in the Portland area, probably best west of the Mississippi! They never disappoint.

Incredibly tasty food, amazing service & atmosphere. All the sides were flavorful & Chicken & Waffles were great!

Miss Delta is great for Southern food and meat lovers, but if you're a vegetarian or vegan you might opt out. There aren't very many meatless options, which is understandable considering the cuisine, so I had the veggie sandwich. It was good, but it took a very long time for our food to come out--despite there not being many people there. The service was okay--nothing spectacular--but we were sat right beside a garbage can buzzing with flies which was a bit off-putting. However, the sweet ice tea is amazing!

Wow, we lucked out and scored a inside table at 6:30pm. Check out their website to get reservations. Ordered the burnt ends (BBQ sauce on the side) with collard greens (with pulled pork on top) & black eye peas. Also got the country fried steak with country gravy on the side, Mac & cheese, & red beans with rice. Both meals were excellent and delicious. Food is cooked to order, so prepare to wait a while for uo

Hadn't been here in over a year, live other side of Beaverton. The several times we ate there ; it was excellent. We were really looking forward to going yesterday. The menu has changed-- po boy, pickles etc. No Brisket , crab soup etc. Order at the counter (bar) really put me off. The bartender, server etc. Was very nice. Oyster po boy mediocre on crumbly stale bread. Shrimp po boy - frozen shrimp with a sprig of green , one slice of tomato on stale bread. Pickles were just like store bought breaded-- though very tasty. French fries warm and limp. BUS YOUR TABLE- bwaahahahahaha- i will stay home. I would not go back to Miss Delta( though it probably won't be there) even with paid food and a chauffeured limo

I really love the food here and love the location. However, throughout the pandemic the customer service has been some of the worst and rude that I have experienced, even while "trying" to support them through these hard times. From calling regarding seating, to stopping by randomly, to simply trying to gain clarity on how to gain seating or what is available, they have been extremely rude and difficult. I understand the stress put on some of our favorite spots, but trying to rationalize spending my money with businesses that seem to not appreciate the patronage is hard to stomach. From my wife calling and getting the worst attitude while simply asking about indoor or patio seating, to stopping by randomly today alone and seeing seating available, while asking the host are seats available, and them conveying the only way to dine inside is by reservation. I check reservation system which is Resy, and the next available reservation at 1:30pm happens to be 2:00pm. I make the reservation all while seeing there are tables available and ask the host "if my reservation is at 2pm and you have seats available, will I need to wait til 2pm?". His answer with no hesitation is "yes, your reservation is at 2pm". I don't mind waiting, but the overall rudeness, lack of attention to the customer, and the fact that seats were available and they wouldn't even consider seating me early. What's also bothers me, is that my wife and I have chosen to support certain spots that we love that we see are dramatically impacted by Covid and dining restrictions. However, this same attitude isn't reciprocated by the restaurant of being appreciative of that loyalty and dedication. Typically I would simply be patient and understanding, and even tolerant of the rudeness, but today I chose to not give one of my favorite Portland restaurants my money, as I watched them also treat the DoorDash pickup guy with the same rudeness and terrible customer service. I love the food, ambiance, location, beverages, and more, but I want to feel welcomed and appreciated. I even tried to address the bad service and make the server aware that I've been a long time customer during Covid, and my family Has attempted to support Miss Delta through these trying times. Hopefully they can address this.

It's been pre-Covid since we ate at Miss Delta's and the menu has changed, but this is still amazing Cajun/bbq! Tonight we ordered the Fried Pickles appetizer & they were very crispy & delicious! We ordered two BBQ entrees: brisket, pulled pork, & burnt ends, with mashed potatoes & mushroom gravy & sausage gravy, Mac & cheese, & cornbread. We have no complaints about all this food! The meats were all very tender & had a delicious, lip-smacking smoke-flavor! The mashed potatoes were creamy & slightly chunky at the same time- a perfect consistency! We highly recommend trying to save room for the amazing banana pudding!

LOCATION/PARKING: This gem of a bbq joint is right in the middle of Mississippi ave - street parking, not terrible to find a spot amongst the neighborhood- definitely worth it! RESERVATION?: We made a lunch reservation - incredibly easy to do online. I would recommend doing this to make sure you get a table especially during weekend brunch. There is indoor and outdoor seating. *if there is a wait, there are cute stores to check out on either side of the restaurant* ATMOSPHERE: Inside is full of unique art (you can purchase it) drum lights (very cool) and a clean retro feel. There is a refrigerator full of fun flavored, old fashioned looking sodas at the front counter, as well as Nico's Ice Cream, their house made hot sauces and Miss Delta merch. FOOD: To start we ordered the hush puppies. They were crispy on the outside, airy on the inside with a slight kick. Perfection. For our main we ordered burnt ends- great bbq sauce, brisket- Smokey and tender , and chicken fried steak - greatest breading on cfs ever! Our sides were mac and cheese - home style, coleslaw - not too sweet/ very crunchy and fresh, and brisket chili - exactly what it sounds like. Included in our meal was a little cornbread muffin, pickles and onions. HOSPITALITY: The service was very welcoming. They explained the menu to us which was helpful for our first time. We had ice water at our table - nice size jug to self serve. We were checked on just the right amount of times. Overall we loved the food and hospitality. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!

some of the best home cooking food I've ever had. This place is super fresh and super good and has always been super delicious. I recommend this place to everyone. The staff are super nice. The food is very good and everything on their menu has been delicious so far that we've had.

Best southern food around.. I came all the way from Everett , Washington for this place and it did not disappoint! I got the fried chicken thighs Mac and cheese with vegetarian collard greens... my partner got the catfish, fried Okra red beans and rice and collard greens......sooo bomb! The chicken was the best fried chicken I've had since... well I can't even remember... the Seattle soul food scene is so disappointing ... but wow Miss Delta I'm already plotting on a way to get us back down there. You will not be disappointed. Fun friendly owners almost brought a tear to my eye having to leave this place! Ooh yeah make sure to try their homemade lemonade so bomb!!! I love this place it's a MUST!!!!!
