I love New Brunswick, New Jersey’s best college town. I went to school at Rutgers University, and the place is just packed with incredible shopping, attractions, and of course – food! This town might just have the most diverse dining scene in the entire Garden State, but if there’s a crown jewel located in the bustling metropolis, there’s a good case that it’s Delta’s. This soul food gem is considered by many to be the best southern restaurant in NJ, and it’s only a minute’s walk from the busy center of George Street. Inside, you’ll find a swanky atmosphere, a great cocktail bar, and a menu full of southern and New Orleans classics given a modern twist. One look at the dinner or brunch menus will make you want to come back again and again so you can try everything!
Tucked into a side street in New Brunswick, Delta’s has a huge fanbase among lovers of southern cuisine.
The clubby atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve been transported to the Big Easy – and the food and drinks match.
Many people choose to take a seat at the bar, and a look at the classy watering hole makes it easy to see why.
But if you’re planning to tuck into a big southern meal, a table might be better! Start with Delta’s famous wings, in either buffalo or Thai chili.
You won’t go wrong with some old-fashioned southern barbecue. The fried chicken and ribs combo comes with two sides and is probably the most popular dish here.
