RC had approached her with a flier at a gas station, informing her that his restaurant had just opened up. Anyway, I'm ordering my meal, the same meal I always get each time I go. Fried fish (whiting), collards and the baked beans (unmatched). And he goes, "What would you like to drink?".... I'm like, "What do you have?" (Assuming the usual. Sweet tea. Lemonade... I was probably gonna go with sweet tea. ) He lists sweet tea of course, and then hes like, "Kool-Aid, coke, sprite" - IM LIKE WAIT. DID YOU SAID KOOL-AID?......... He's like, "Yeah??..." Im like, "what flavor???.... "Purple?...." I had never heard of that at a restaurant, and quiet frankly, that's all I needed to know. At this point, I literally go nowhere else for soul food. Also, RC is amazing. Really good guy, and his team offer the best service as well. A job well done, always.

And there was plenty of it provided. We wanted to try an array of vegetables along with the catfish And there was plenty to go around. We even had leftovers for the next day that included llama beans, Black Eyed Peas, collards, mac & cheese, fish bites and cornbread, essentially enough for another meal, which made the price more worth it. The only drawback was the lack of non-plastic and Styrofoam while leading in.

Which means, when I bit into my bacon egg and cheese biscuit, I was able to bite through the bacon and not taking the entire piece with me. The biscuit was fluffy, the egg was cooked nicely, and the cheese was melty. I had an unsweetened tea as my beverage- the drinks are self serve. The ice (there is a warning stating this) comes out of the machine like a canon. You have been warned!

(I always get half sweet/half unsweet; just ask for "half-n-half" if you're cutting back sugar.) The wait staff treat everyone like regulars, and the kitchen staff keep the buffet full of delicious choices. The menu changes daily, so check the website if you're picky. I heard there's another JohnBoy's in Cartersville, I've never been there, but it's probably the same.

I never listened to mama much but I did take her to Johnboy's ( a misnomer as it's like a Vietnamese family running the joint...no problem here as I love Vietnamese- but they really do not know Southern style American cooking), once settled in, my mom looked at me with disgusted look on her face as she held up a talon - literally a chicken claw attached into the funky crust of this odd "chicken" meat. In all honestly, I dunno what the good reviewers are smoking or drinking but homeboy John did t serve it up to me, or I may have forgotten how gross this trailer park buffet was.

Very friendly and helpful cashier helped me place my lunch order on this sunny Wednesday afternoon…read moreabout noon. I got the 2 piece dark meat (leg & thigh) with biscuit, fries, and coleslaw. And the crispy chicken sandwich with pickles and sauce on the side. The bone-in chicken had a nice crust with good flavor and were good portions. The coleslaw was a generous portion and good flavor and was the creamy mayo style (versus vinegar style). The coated fries had a good taste and most were crisp, but a few were a bit heavy in oil. The biscuit was a great pairing. The sandwich had lots of meat and a finely textured crust that is smoother than is on the bone-in chicken. The purple decor was funky but comfortable and clean.

The Highs: The sweet potato pancakes were the reason we came here based on an IG review. They were…read moreactually really good. The grits were flavored nicely. The chicken sausage was pretty good as well. The Lows: I ordered on their website at 11:25 and requested the order for 12 pm. It wasn't ready until about 12:15. The Mac and Cheese wasn't very good. I expected more from a place that is supposed to have that southern comfort food vibe. If you like creamy Mac and cheese with the cheese pull... This ain't it. The In-between: we ordered food to go. The place is located in a shopping center next to the tropical smoothie place. Parking wasn't hard at all. It wasn't that busy when we went on Sunday morning. As noted, I had to wait about 15 minutes passed the original pick up time. They invited me to sit at the bar but no one offered me a water or anything while I waited. When I did finally receive the food, there was no apology for the delay either. Little service recovery attempts like that can go a long way.

I've especially enjoyed their fried chicken, their meatloaf and their assortment of southern veggies, such as, fried green tomatoes, greens, cabbage, sweet potatoes and more. They also have a large selection of salads and salad ingredients. The service here is top notch, the servers are also attentive and make sure to keep your drinks refilled. BE NICE TO THEM! The dining area is simple and can accommodate very large groups. Depending on the clientele it can go from quiet to extremely loud so don't plan on a quiet meal all the time.

I can't believe it took me so long to eat at Delilah's! I've known of this highly lauded business…read morefor years but never found the right day when I was craving soul food and in the area to order. Until recently. I decided to have a tapas-style dinner with food from The Works and just had to grab some chicken from Delilah's. The menu is plentiful without being overwhelming, except when it comes to picking a favorite between the flavorful options. I knew that I didn't want or need a full meal and opted for their 3 whole wing option that came paired with cornbread. The young man who took my order was so polite and patient, as there were a few folks in line and waiting for previously placed orders. He let me know that my order would be ready in about 15 minutes so I took the time to continue my food-finding journey around the market. When I returned later, I had lost track of time and figured I'd just poke my head around their stall to see if my chicken was ready. It wasn't at that moment but I took some time to observe the process. There was only one guy in the open kitchen and prep area creating all of the meals and he was on the move. If I could add smells to my review, this one would smell like fried chicken and cornbread. It was all so fresh! When my order was ready, I only made one other stop before heading to my car to go home to my family... but not before I tested those whole wings from Delilah's. When I say that they were fresh out of the grease? Babehhh. It's like he just threw them right into the basket only seconds before. It was sooo crunchy, so juicy, just a fantastic wing. The hot sauce was a nice pairing but some spice in the breading/meat would have taken it over the top but this chicken was delicious. No notes.

It made us stop and ask, "what is this place and this absolutely delicious-looking sandwich?!" The rest is history. We ordered yummy fried chicken pieces and a bbq chicken sandwich. It cured our souls. We asked the generous, wonderful lady at the counter about the story of Delilah's: was she a real person, who is she, etc. her answers made us fall in love even more... this is a genuine, family-owned and operated enterprise! We love, love, loved our food and I can't wait to go back and soport again!!! You gotta try it.
