Food and atmosphere were incredible. However service was slow, the order line wasn’t very long but we stood in same spot for 15 minutes literally. Great food though best BBQ loved the house sauce and green beans. Great patio area and loved the decor. We will be back. Clean restrooms and loved the stage outside.

Went on a Thursday evening right before race weekend. 4 in our party and we got a table immediately. Menu is typical BBQ joint fare. The bleu cheese dip with the chips was fantastic. Not overpowering. The loaded fries didn’t have queso but were great even with shredded cheese. The cut of potato was unique and great for dipping.

I have eaten at several different place in the NC, TN, and VA border area and Delta Blues has been the best by far. The freshest food, always hot, and delicious. They often have live music and there is outdoor seating as well. Tuesdays the menu changes to Cajun Night so everything is a little different.

Delta Blues…smoked chicken Philly is the bomb du jour! Everything is perfect everytime. And the bring incredible music in for our enjoyment. Bristol is so lucky to have this venue. If you have not tried DB…do yourself a favor and go!

Been coming here for years to get ribs. Always the best ribs in town and I do not know if today was an off day, but very disappointed. The dry rub was an orange color and tasted completely different than usual. The meat was very pink and did not pull off the bone. My friends ribs were the same. Got a to-go box to take them home and wrap in foil to finish cooking them. I was looking forward to their usual ribs…My other friend did enjoy his burger and beans. Not sure if we will return.

First time here from out-of-town just passing through to visit nearby caverns in the area. Busy bbq restaurant the young lady that waited on us when we placed our order was very unfriendly and helpful as we asked to sit outside as the inside was to packed but overall food was ok didn’t care for the sausage as it tasted like breakfast sausage the collard greens and fried corn and the ribs we’re the The burnt ends that I got were very fatty didn’t taste that great in my opinion. But overall recommend this restaurant establishment.

This place was great! I went on a random Tuesday while visiting for work so there wasn’t any live music but they stayed true playing classic blues.

Best ribs I’ve had in years and the best green beans I’ve ever had in my life! It’s a very small, tight restaurant so I can’t imagine eating there during a dinner rush but we went during a more off time and had more space in the restaurant! Everything my fiancée and I had was delicious from the burn ends, fried okra, and fries to my ribs, Mac and cheese and green beans! Will definitely be going back, I’ll be dreaming about those green beans!
