Deemed *a quintessential Cleveland establishment*, Airport Grocery serves up a true taste of southern soul food.

In business since 1992, the rustic restaurant has withstood the test of time, consistently satisfying diners from near and far.

Celebrating everything Delta, Airport Grocery boasts a bluesy aesthetic and down-home family feel.

Airport Grocery's devotion to the Delta is nothing new. When the restaurant opened decades ago, it was with the intent of honoring the Delta's hot tamale tradition.

To this day, the tamales are still a top-seller, but they’re not the only beloved item on the menu.

The varied menu includes everything from steaks to seafood to southern soul food.

Barbecue, which is revered by patrons, also has a place on the menu.

The mouthwatering fare includes hamburgers, too, which have remained a staple throughout the restaurant’s life.

There’s more to Airport Grocery than brag worthy grub, though. A hodge podge of décor that includes antiques, artifacts, and even an automobile contribute to the restaurant’s overall quirky vibe.

A full bar, pool tables, and a spacious dining area only add to the eatery’s perks.

So, are you ready to get a taste of the Delta?
