Delilah's Everyday Soul - Chattahoochee Food Works — Restaurant in Atlanta

After running a few errands, it was time to eat. Being in the mood for soul food we did a search to find something new to try and stumbled upon “Delilah’s Everyday Soul.” After scrolling the food images, it was an easy decision on where we would be eating. LoL.

Delilah’s Everyday Soul sits on Chattahoochee within the shared kitchen area they have inside of The Works; this makes it not only easy to find but provides easy access to parking. To note, the first two hours of parking is free.

Delilah’s Everyday Soul sits in the back corner and wasn’t hard to find. The area is open and clean and has a simplistic design that doesn’t crowd the space. Walking up to the register, I was greeted by Amir who was very pleasant and welcomed me to Delilah’s Everyday Soul.

Though the menu isn’t an extensive restaurant menu it has all the key points for a great soul food plate. I love the strategic approach presented by the menu curation. After a few moments of scrolling I decided on the 3 Wing (well done) Half Dinner which comes with Cornbread for $15.

After making my decision, I placed my order and stood to the side as it was being made. As I ordered my wings well done, I understood it would be a little longer on the wait time. Amir joked with me saying, “you want burnt wings?” LoL.

The area within The Works is not too roomy, however, Delilah’s Everyday Soul is right next to one of the patio doors so it’s easy to wait on the patio until your order is ready.

Once my order was ready, my name was called and I was presented with 3 (three) hot sauce options. Listen, the art of choosing the right hot sauce is one that most restaurants miss, however, Delilah’s Everyday Soul understood the assignment and I was excited. Ha!

The Food:

Babeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, whoever’s grandmother made that buttery, thick, pound cake like cornbread made it with love. I’m talking about the perfect balance of corn and sweet with a cake like texture that still has the crumble bottom of pan fried cornbread. Yes, the cornbread alone has me planning my next trip to Delilah’s Everyday Soul.

The wings were a palate pleasing experience as well. The wings are normal size which I am super happy about as I am tired of pigeon sized wings. They are meaty and even with the crispy batter outside as I requested, they maintained a high moisture level within. Oh yes! This is how you do a soul food wing derived from love and compassion… The flavor profile presents as a well balanced blend. It’s not overbearing and allows space for the natural chicken flavor to still remain in the game.

From the service, the working ambiance, to the wings and cornbread. My trip to Delilah’s Everyday Soul was satisfying, hunger taking, and overall pleasant. Well worth the $15 price point.

See you again soon Nana Delilah who has Everyday...

This was my second visit to Delilah’s Everyday Soul. I couldn’t wait to go back but now living over an hour away doesn’t really make it convenient to visit. And it has been almost 10 months since my first visit and I was hoping the food was just as good.

First, let me give a HUGE shout out to Brenton and the chef that served us a week ago. Brenton’s smile alone was just perfect. Great customer service.

Second, the food was great! I ordered the all white meat chicken dinner with coleslaw, fried pickles, and cornbread. I’ll start with the star of the meal. The fried pickles. Man O Man, I was hoping they were going to be as good as the first time. Nailed them! I believe they use bread and butter pickles, which are my favorite. They had the right kind of breading and not too thick. Fried perfectly! Great by themselves, but also good dipped in ranch dressing. I could eat those each meal of the day.

Next, the fried chicken was wonderful. Just the right spices and the right amount of breading. Hot and juicy on the inside. The coleslaw was also very good. No complaints. However, I am not a big fan of the cornbread. I like mine out of a black iron skillet where the bottom is crunchy and the thickness is no more than an inch. Delilah’s cornbread is very cake like. Thick. And it’s too dry for me, no matter the pounds of butter I can slather on it. I’ll probably pass on it next time. Please don’t hate me Delilah cornbread lovers. I’m just leaving more for you. :)

My friend got the 3 wings, yams, and Mac-n-Cheese. I agree with most peoples’ comments about the temperature of the MnC. Very lukewarm. I took home the leftovers and microwaving for 40 seconds made it delicious. They would probably be my all time favorite made fresh and right out of the oven.

The price for my meal (a breast, wing, pickles, coleslaw, and cornbread) does make me gasp at $25. If there were 2 breasts, I would be more comfortable, but that won’t stop me from returning. Thank you, Brenton, for creating an inviting trip. I enjoyed talking with you and wishing...

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but I left disappointed. While waiting for my order, I asked to sample the candied yams after seeing them freshly prepared. I was told no, because the owner doesn’t allow samples. That policy makes little sense, especially if you’re proud of the dish. A simple sample could’ve led to an extra purchase and a more satisfied customer.

Instead, I left feeling dismissed. I ended up canceling my order, not out of spite, but because the interaction didn’t sit right. First impressions matter—especially for new customers.

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I can appreciate a business standing behind its policies, but your message unfortunately underscores exactly why my experience warranted concern.

To be clear, my request for a small sample of a visible, freshly prepared item was made with basic curiosity—nothing more, nothing less. The response I received was not only unnecessarily dismissive, but the tone and delivery lacked the hospitality one would expect from a brand that prides itself on “good vibes.”

It’s not about receiving something “free” or feeling “entitled.” Especially after spending $25 for one wing and breast with two sides. It’s about how customers are treated—especially when visiting for the first time. Rather than offering grace or professionalism, your response here projects sarcasm, defensiveness, and a lack of accountability.

You’re correct that customers can’t be reviewed, but we do get to choose where we spend our money—and how we share our experiences with others. If a simple, respectful question leads to accusations of “spite” and being “very rude,” then it’s clear the issue lies not with the customer, but with the culture of the establishment.

I genuinely hope your business...
