First of all I had been looking for a soul food restaurant for awhile and Della J’s was suggested. We went on a Thursday evening and there was live music. The music was concert quality, absolutely amazing, but it did make it a bit loud inside. Our server was relatively quick with taking our orders and the food came out piping hot. The portions are quite large, so we were too stuffed for dessert. Overall it was an awesome experience and I can’t wait to go back and try a different dish!
Della J's!! Y'all Betta know how to cook southern food! Cabbage, on point. Collards, on point. Shrimp and grits, on point. Carrot cake, on point. Y'all Betta STOP PLAYING with my waistline. Ain't nobody got time to buy new pants.
This is a restaurant that moved from Springfield, VA, into this building which was previously a Ruby Tuesday. An upgrade from their original location. Spacious and well decorated. The food was great. We started with the hush puppies. I had the jambalaya. My dining companions had pork chops and the chicken biscuit. All delicious. Our server was excellent. A live jazz band on Thursday nights. Check it out.
We tried this place for the first time and we'll definitely be back. They would have got 5 stars but I'm big on customer service and so i dont like when you as a customer walk in the place and 3 employees are talking to each other not helping anyone and see you but just stand there and don't speak. However, the place quickly redeemed themselves once we were seated. Our server was amazing, great personality and took care of us from start to finish. The drinks, food, atmosphere was great. The music played at a perfect volume and I feel like we were enjoying the music just as much as the food. On Thursday nights they have live music. All in all I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try.
Food is Pretty Good. The greens and the cabbage just need a tad bit more seasoning. The grilled Jumbo shrimp, seared scallops and cat fish are so good!
