| - I was alerted to Delta Blue's existence and story through Cathy Phillips' review on Cleveland.com and gave it a try today. I was not disappointed!
It's a small shop in a strip mall with a tight parking lot. There are a handful of high-top tables for dining in, though everyone gets their food in the same to-go clamshell containers. I was greeted cheerfully by each of the two front-of-house employees as if I was a regular. My carryout order was ready within five minutes.
Most of the reviews rave about the catfish, but, not being a fish guy, I opted for the rib tips lunch special. The special came with a cornbread muffin and two sides (I got mac 'n' cheese and creamed spinach). I also ordered some of the beer cheese soup.
The food was still piping hot by the time I got back to my office, about 15 minutes from Delta Blue.
Do not miss out on the beer cheese soup! It was velvety, cheesy goodness in a cup. I cannot praise this soup enough.
This was my first time trying rib tips, but it will certainly not be my last! They were meaty and the sauce was excellent. The spinach and the mac 'n' cheese were outstanding, though the cornbread muffin was nothing special. Since it was on top, I ate it first, but I wished I had saved it to mop up the leftover barbecue sauce.
I have been looking for a BBQ joint that is easy for me to get to for lunch and I think this is it!
They don't seem to have a website, but photos of their menu and specials are on their Facebook page. Do not hesitate to give Delta Blue a try.
