Delta Blues has earned rave reviews from local folks and visitors to Bristol, Tennessee, for its kind service, expansive menu, and flavorful eats. Locally owned and operated, the bbq joint takes a tip from West Tennessee's largest city, and operates as a music venue as well as an eatery.
The interior is homey and welcoming. The atmosphere is comfortable, and whether you're bringing the family or choosing to indulge in a solo night out, the blues-inspired music and southern hospitality make this bbq experience one to remember.
Delta Blues is located on Bristol's historic State Street and has become a popular watering hole thanks to its large outdoor patio. It lends itself perfectly to families eating out and folks looking to enjoy the fresh air.
The menu at Delta Blues runs the southern gamut, but it has a large emphasis on its Memphis roots. There are specialty bbq items as well as Cajun-inspired eats. Specials include everything from a pitmaster tray - a platter of five types of meats, two sides, and Texas toast - to a chicken, bacon, and ranch quesadilla.
The sides menu honors the southern region with options like collard greens, fried corn, fried apples, and onion rings. Delta Blues also offers meats and sides in bulk, so if you're looking for a pound of pulled pork, burnt ends, and loaded potato salad, then you're in luck!
There are classic indulgences available as well, like cheeseburgers and chicken wings. You don't want to miss 75-Cent Wing Wednesdays! It's the best way to eat your fill on a tight budget. The onion rings come highly recommended, and you'll want to keep an eye out for the burger specials that pop up from time to time. The Queso Burger was made with a beef patty, all the fixin's, a fried green tomato, AND homemade queso. Yum!
