Delta Cafe is a Southern, cajun, and soul food restaurant in the Woodstock neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, United States.

Frequented by Reed College students and neighborhood residents, Delta Cafe has been recognized as a favorite local comfort food destination.

[8] The brunch menu includes beignets, shrimp and grits, and smoked brisket hash[8] The bar, the Delta Lounge,[9] stays open until 1 am on weekdays and 2 am on weekends.

[11] In 2016, a mural was painted on the restaurant's west exterior as part of a neighborhood beautification initiative called the Woodstock Street Art Project.

[16] In his 2003 travel book Fugitives and Refugees, Chuck Palahniuk published Delta's fritters recipe and said of the restaurant, "There isn't a disappointment on the whole menu.

[17] Portland Monthly has said the cafe "thrives largely on an aesthetic of thrift-store kitsch, its double-wide ambience as brazen as a belle on a bender", and described the Delta Lounge as a "decorously knickknacked" bar with "inscrutably balanced" cocktails.

"[9] The magazine's John Chandler called Delta Cafe "a joint that earned its rep by dropping huge platters of Southern cooking on its customers for embarrassingly small sums of money" and wrote in 2010, "I can remember ordering the meatloaf special—with two sides—for five freakin' dollars.

The Delta was never a bastion of culinary precision, and that's still the case, but the heaping portions are standard issue, and if you can make it to Happy Hour (3–6 daily), the prices are straight out of the late 20th century.

The guide said, "For tasty, homestyle Southern fare with Cajun inflections that comes in big, price-appropriate portions, locals point to this quirky Woodstock cafe as a perfect fit for eccentric East Portland; helpful servers contribute to the vibe, although for some it comes down to the PBR 40s on ice – isn't that why everyone goes?
