Delilah's Everyday Soul

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.

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.

Mac & Cheese

The mac and cheese is good and gooey, with cheese that stretches in long, golden strands from your fork.

Cornbread

This cornbread is cake-like and good. Crumbs stick to your butter knife when it slices through the soft, honeyed bread.

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.
