| - Tried Delta Blue on a recommendation from a friend. It's only about 7 minutes from my office, and being the lunch connoisseur that I am, I was surprised I had never heard of it.
Tucked away in a small, aged strip mall; the exterior leaves a lot to be desired as far as aesthetic. As you walk in, a similar vibe continues, but then you hear the soft blues music playing, you see the vinyl records all over the wall accompanied with pictures of Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington, a friendly employee that clearly loves her job greets you from behind the counter like you have been coming in every day for years; and suddenly the charm of Delta Blue takes over and you wonder how you're just now checking this place out.
I did have a difficult time deciding what my first order there would be, but eventually settled on the Perch lunch special, with Mac & Cheese, Mixed Veggies, and a Corn Muffin. All for $7.50. First, I love that they give you the option of breading or beer battered, I chose beer battered. Let me tell you, these were the two biggest pieces of Perch I have ever had served to me. As soon as its done frying, they sprinkle some Cajun seasoning on it. They also make their own tartar sauce in house. Every bite was a treat, and my co-workers were quick to investigate my lunch choice as the wonderful aromas were carrying throughout the office. The very next day, two of them went to Delta Blue for lunch for the first time, and had equally great experiences.
I feel bad for the folks with bad experiences. I guess sometimes, a dish does not turn out good. Fortunately for my friends and I, its all been great. I am looking forward to my next visit, and have still yet to decide on what to try next.
