Deleece

Biscuits and Gravy and bottomless Mimosa's!  Now that's what I call the breakfast of champions. The day started out promising enough, but ended on a sour note as I ended up drunk enough to make Hunter S. Thompson proud. I think it all started with the gallon of mimosa's I drank at Deleece.

Deleece is a cute little eatery located on the Southport corridor. The brunch menu is quite extensive, but I've never met a plate of biscuits and gravy I didn't like, so that's what I opted for. Deleece's version of this Southern staple didn't let me down. It was delicious. I should have just had coffee, but the idea of bottomless Mimosa's were too tempting to turn down. As it turns out , my visit to Deleece is about the last thing I remember about my Sunday of self destruction. I've been told I had a good time.

Here's the bottom line. If you're looking for a new take on brunch, give Deleece a try. The food, service and all around vibe are top notch.

There's a lot to like about Deleece: the food is good, it's a fun atmosphere, reasonably priced, and nice/attentive wait staff.

I had the Chilaquiles w/ chorizo. No complaints here... nice size portion, eggs cooked just right, good taste w/ delicious guacamole. My wife on the other hand had the Fish Torta sandwich which was a complete disaster. It was basically a heap of mayo, lettuce, and guacamole mushed together on bread that was too soft to handle the load. No comments on the actually fish because there wasn't enough to really rate. Oh... and the combined sandwich had no taste. Deleece has some work to do on this sandwich. The fries that came with it were cool though :)

I'm just going to give Deleece the benefit of doubt and just assume that the Fish Torta is one of their worst items. They still get 4 stars in my book and I will definitely go back for brunch/lunch.

Deleece's service is just rude.  

My girlfriend and I had dinner here last Saturday night before the theater show nearby.  The food was fine; average.  The restaurant is poorly managed and the service is the prime example.  

From the hostess to the manager, the service was terrible.  The hostess only accepted a reservation at the bar, yet the tables remained half full during our entire dinner.  I can understand her conservative logic though....it's just a bit of a rookie move. The WORST part was the FORCED EXIT by our server.  Seriously...who does that!!!  

I noticed the manager signal to our bar server to rush us to leave.  So the server just handed us the check as we were still eating.  I don't have to explain...it was terrible etiquette!!  We had been there for 45 minutes.  Deleece just wanted to seat the last minute rush before the show.
