Delia’s Chicken Sausage Stand

One of my favorite places for take away. Totally worthless now that they are allowing their neighbor business the 411 «Dance Studio» to overwhelm their parking lot. Sharing is caring but those «dancers» could use the exercise and should park elsewhere! There was no parking tonight. Y’all might want to focus on your own customers.

I have lived less than a mile from here for almost 2 years now. This is definitely the place to go if you want a quick bite but not interested in «fast food». The Meatloaf is by far my favorite dish. The Early Bird Breakfast Burrito is pretty legit as well. And if you’ve never tried it, the Cake Shake is an experience that you’ll want to try over and over again. Great place, awesome staff, and now featuring a covered patio.

Delias had easy parking, ordering, seating, and fast delivery. All the dishes are made with their special «chicken sausage» which is just delicious. I highly recommend the tacos which were spicy and awesome! Love their frozen lemonades as well.

At first I was reluctant about trying this place.
I figured it was just another southern style place obsessed with chicken.
AKA Chick-fil-A/Bojangles/Zaxby’s ETC.
Nope!
Its good. Menu items are creative.
Fantastic fries.
I’ve been pleased with everything I’ve ordered here so far.
Everything seems fresh, made to order, and very good service.
Definitely recommended!
Excellent!

I love Delia’s Chicken Sausage!!! You can do breakfast or lunch here. The throwback sauce is amazing.
Breakfast Favorites:
Mother Clucker — classic eggs and meat on a bun with great sauce
daBomb– eggs meat on KRISPY KREME donuts!
Early Bird and South of the Border Burritos — both fantastiv
Lunch:
3 hot chicks — you get to try 3 differnent sliders
2 timer — chili slaw dog
Chickie Philly — like a cheesesteak but better
Staff is always fantatic and quick

I like your veggie sausage but you have lost my business tonight because your staff is very unprofessional. They messed up our to-​go order so we had to drive back and we weren’t even given an apology upon our return. That is okay. There are plenty of other places where I can spend my money.
**UPDATE**
One of the owners/​managers contacted my wife and was very apologetic and determined to make things right. I consider this very commendable and upright. She/​he mailed her some gift certificates as a peace offering. I appreciate that effort and I’m raising my review to three stars because of it. However I still will never order if I see the gentleman who was «in charge» the night we received substandard service.

Alright I’ve been riding tough with Delia’s since I stumbled upon one late late Friday night (early Saturday morning) back in August 2013. So I would be remiss if I did not sing her praises.
I was driving home from salsa at Fernbank and decided to take Moreland home instead of going to the expressway. I’m glad I did. I was STARVING and by that point limited my fast food options to Zaxby’s (which I wouldn’t pass on the way home) and Chick-​Fil-​A (which would be closed if I passed on the way from Fernbank going the way I was going).
Any way I drove by Delia’s and saw it was open. I doubled back and it the magic happened instantly. I let the very friendly gentleman working the counter that it was my first time and he pointed me to the Hot Mess, a chicken sausage on a hoagie topped with cheese, chili, fresh jalapeños and some comeback sauce (I guess it keeps you coming back) I had some wedges to go with and I was on my way. I’ve introduced a few of my friends to Delia’s over the last 2 years and not one of them has been disappointed. If you are in EAV (and now Howell Mill/​Marietta St) stop in and be very pleased with what you get!

I lived in Grant Park for 3 years before someone told me that Delia’s has vegetarian food. (In fact, they said «vegan», but I’m not that strict, and I wouldn’t trust a place like this if I were.)
I finally perused the menu online and went to pick up some food at about 6 last night My husband eats meat and chose the The 3-​way, I ordered 3 Hot Chicks, vegetarian.
The food was okay, very pricey for what we got, but we enjoyed it. What I didn’t enjoy was the 3 AM rush to the bathroom, as my body attempted to delete all memory of Delia’s «vegetarian chicken» sausage. I didn’t vomit or feel ill, or as though I had food poisoning, and my husband suffered no ill effects, but I spent far too much time on the porcelain throne, and had an uneasy night with a long day ahead, so Delia’s is back off my list.

The quality of service has gone down recently with the younger staff that is currently working at this location. The portions have also become smaller (less sausage on salads, etc.) I hope management corrects these problems, or I will no longer be able to justify driving out of my way to this location.

Even though Delia’s is only a stone’s throw away, for some reason or another I don’t often walk through the door. Though every time that I do grab a bite here it always hits the spot hard.
There is no drive-​thru and the lot can get tight at popular times, but the diminutive sausage, fried egg and cheese ‘little cluckers’ are more manageable than your average breakfast sandwich, as well as exceptionally delicious – totally worth it. I recommend a double order (4 total) if you’re feeling particularly ravenous, and/​or in need of a refuel after a full-​on night in the EAV. Or you can go with the larger, messier ‘Mother Clucker’.
I also applaud their pancake magic.
Check Delia’s out if you want an authentic breakfast/​lunch/​dinner/​all-​the-​time-​delicious go-​to in the village.

My BF had the Motherclucker and he said it was rather tasty, although his grits looked sticky to me. I on the other hand had the Hot Mess & that’s truly what it was… the chicken chili tasted old and so did the wedgies I got to accompany the sandwich. I ended up not finishing it due to the subpar taste. The portion size is pretty good but they’re going to have to sell much fresher food to get me to return.
I did enjoy the ambience sitting outside on the patio and their frozen drinks and cake shakes sounded very enticing but I opted out of trying one since my meal was already going to have so many calories.

Delia’s is THAT spot anytime day or night. Them Double D’s though. Lawd. Have. Mercy. If you haven’t been to Delia’s shame on you. The lines can get long so be prepared to wait. It’s well worth the wait!

Tiny little spot full of delicious chicken-​y options and despite appearances, they have some really great vegan/​vegetarian friendly options too. All in all Deilia’s is becoming a quick win.
Our noms for that evening included The Shredder and San Chez sliders with some wedges, vegan chili, and a frozen slushie tea.
Had to try the slushie tea… I don’t know if I’ve ever ran into it before, and really it’s just sweet tea in slushie form, but it was kinda neat and refreshing. The option to add raspberry lemonade to it is great if you’d like a sour kick.
All the food did not let down either. I’m definitely a fan of their vegan chili and probably will be back just for that. Strangely enough, I’m not that into chicken sausages despite how good they are, so I’ll probably opt for the vegetarian option next time. I think it’s really great they do that. Being able to turn a majority of their menu vegetarian is pretty cool, but yeah, can’t really go wrong with their chicken sausages in the long run.
Good food and relatively decent price. The only down side is seating in the hot summer months. The AC inside is super cold, but you don’t have a lot of wiggle room and outside is outside, but that’s about it. It is a «stand» I suppose. Definitely count me back sometime in the future. :)

The customer service was excellent!!! They allowed me to sample the Swirlie… Oh what a great frozen combination… Cold frozen sweet tea mixed with frozen tangy raspberry!!! I also tried the grinder, I would of liked my mozzarella cheese melted. I also tried the chicken link, and liked it better. This would be a great spot for «after a night out»!!! The wedges were the best…

The first time I came here was the day after New Years. I was hung over, probably due to my lack of water consumption. The friend who took me here suggested the 3 Hot Chicks. It included three different types of sliders, one chicken sausage meatball slider, one sloppy slider, and one slaw slider.
Now the moment I stepped into the store at that time, I immediately began to feel nauseous. So much so, that I had to leave the stand and plug my nose outside, while my friend ordered for me. I nibbled this and that when they came to me, and was completely unimpressed. The only one I actually entirely ate was the meatball slider, but every single slider was precariously balanced on the buns. So much so, that they were slopping and slipping out onto my plate. I decided not to review this place until I eventually came back. It’s been almost 6 months since that first experience, and I’ll say I’m glad I waited to write a review.
When I came back to the Delia’s, it was (cough) after another night of drinking. I wasn’t hung over, and I had already eaten breakfast, so we stopped by before heading on down to Joystick. I decided on the Naked Slinger this time. It came on a hoagie roll (cue: hot dog bun), with a little bit of their signature sauce. And because I’m a potato freak, I also got the Wedgies. (And yes, I totally blushed when I said that to the server… I promise I’m an adult, guys!) I’d say the Naked Slinger was pretty good for what it was. Grease was minimal, it filled me right up, and it was cheap food that somehow simply seems fitting after a night of drinking. And man, those Wedgies. Give me Wedgies every day of my life, and you’ll find me a happy lady.
PROS:
It seems they’ve upgraded their patio. They now actually have a tent-​like of cover over it.
Fast service, cheap food, pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a fast food place. Can get a meal for around $ 5 (without a drink).
I like that it isn’t the typical hamburger fast food place.
They offer vegetarians options for their slingers or sliders, presumably at no additional cost. (I didn’t see an additional cost listed, at least.)
Chicken is locally sourced from Georgia farmers. You don’t see that every day at a fast food place!
The Wedgies are soooo delish.
CONS:
Store itself is tiny. More than three people, and it starts to feel cramped. (But, then again, it is called a STAND.)
The parking is weird, and it’s clear people don’t understand it. It involves one way parking, but people kept trying to exit out of the entrance.
I could see this place being sooo cold in winter. It’s really too small inside to seat more than 5 people, and the outside patio doesn’t seem like it’ll offer much protection.
VERDICT:
I could never live off this stuff, but after a night full of booze and shenanigans, it’s a great afternoon meal. Cheap eats with good friends, outside on a beautiful day. What more could you ask for in a fast food place? I’d never make a trip out from Sandy Springs where I live for it, and I probably wouldn’t even normally go there if I did live in the area, but once in a while it’ll be just what body doesn’t need, but craves.

I haven’t had a lot of experiences with chicken sausages, but I like the sausage at Delia’s. My sister and I was leaving Grady’s Hospital and decided to go by this place since I was in the downtown area (I like to stay close to my city), its been bookmarked for the longest of time.
When we arrived, I parked at the closed building next door to Delia’s (towing zone) so we got the food To go, it was also hot outside and they only have outdoor seating. My sister, my son and I all ordered the Hot Mess, in my opinion the food was messy but good. My sister was not that impressed and was definitely not happy about the $ 1.50 can beverages, she also didn’t like that we had to purchase the potato logs separately, I guess the way she sees it made plenty of sense… which was her paying $ 30 at a hotdog stand. Lol
I won’t go out of my way to get to Delia’s, but the next time I’m out that way I will try a cake milkshake.

After living minutes away from Delia’s Chicken Sausage stand for 4 years, I felt guilty for not visiting this neighborhood establishment sooner. Keep in mind that when you’re entering the restaurant, the entrance is on one side of the restaurant and you exit out of the other side. If you’re going South on Moreland, the entrance is the second right NOT the first right. I learned this the hard way when everyone on the patio was staring at me for entering on the wrong side and then they continued to watch me park awkwardly while I backed into a parking spot facing away from me. Which brings me to point out a great feature — they have a super awesome patio facing the street :).
Its a simple establishment, you walk up to the counter, say your name and place your order. After waiting for a few minutes or so, they call your name and hand you your order.
With it being my first time, I wanted to start with something that sounded basic so I ordered the Sliders and the Cake Shake (Red Velvet). When I received the order, I was thinking it looked similar to Krystal’s, but then when you bite into the slider, its a messy mixture of sweet, spicy, juicy, chicken sausage and soft bread in your mouth — awesomeness.
I’m a neat eater, I’d like to think — but eating this slider (and the other 2), I unashamedly licked the sweet sauce off of my fingers.
Now on to the Cake Shake. Umm, they pretty much had me at Cake Shake and then you add Red Velvet — my fave cake flavor. Mindblown. I had to wait and let it melt a little since I was sucking away at nothing through the straw. It was good with chunks of red velvet cake in it.
Family friendly restaurant with quick service and a cool patio — will visit again soon!

What a place! Everything they sell is so sinfully delicious but bad for you that it’s a wonder you don’t keel over with a stroke or heart attack just ordering. Yeah its chicken sausage. It’s still sausage and comes loaded. Maybe the bottled water isn’t bad for you.
My position on this place is I am glad I live five hours away because every time I come to Atlanta from now on I am stopping here. Red velvet cupcake shakes for all the citizens of Deliaworld.

I’m still on a «like» level with Delia’s. Overall, eating at Delia’s is better than eating at a chain fast food restaurant and that’s why I keep coming back.
My standard order is sloppy sliders with wedges (fried potatoes, YUM!). This is my hangover meal even on mornings when I don’t have a hangover. I’ve tried several of the menu items, and there is not one that I would not order again; I just stick with the sliders because of the smaller portion size.
My major gripe with Delia’s is service. Because it’s a fast food place the workers change all the time. And sometimes Delia’s gets very crowded (which isn’t hard because it’s the size of a walk-​in closet…) But when it gets crowded and the cashier isn’t prepared, it’s not a pleasant experience, so I’ve learned to drive on by when I see a lot of people.
The still serve the cake shake which is the best dessert ever invented, and I don’t know why other places haven’t figured this out. Cake and ice cream in a cup! The fattie in me is disappointed that I’ve never prepared this sugar miracle at home, but Delia’s is only a short drive away.
Unilocal 2015 Update #2

Love this place. Great spot for food after the club. 3 Hot Chicks is delicious. I’ve been coming here off and on for a couple of years now and I’m really surprised that I haven’t written a review about it. This is my spot! I don’t go here as often as I used to because I don’t really hang out and go to clubs much anymore. On the rare occasion that I do, this is one of the best places to stop just to grab something delicious to soak up the liquor.
The restaurant itself is almost like a little house. The parking is like a circle. You go in one way and leave out the other. Make sure you pay attention to the arrows in the parking lot. I know my instict always makes me want to turn in at the first opening but it’s actually the other way around.
They have a small eating area inside and a larger space to eat outside. When you go int, the staff is usually willing and open to give you suggestions on what to eat. I’ve tried several things from here and I don’t think anything has left me disappointed at all. Their fries are wedged like ones you get from KFC. Get some cheese sauce on top of them bad boys to really set them off and you’re as good as golden. The lasagna is great, 3 hot chicks is a great way to explore three of their sliders, the breakfast food is good. I’m getting snackish just writing this. Great little spot on Moreland and I would definitely recommend it!
