Deliman’s Grill

After checking out the Coppell Deli, my man and I decided to see if Deliman’s is any improvement on the original.

At Deliman’s they offer an expanded menu including lunch and dinner items like chicken fried steaks, pork chops, chicken, and shrimp. They also had a Mediterranean menu, with the standard offerings of kabobs, gyros, and grilled fish. The dining room is casual, substantially larger than the original, and Dallas Cowboys-love is evident everywhere. There isn’t a direction that you can point your fork at without finding a flat-screen TV looking back at you, so this is great for Cowboy- and sports-viewing parties.

However for our visit, my man and I went for the burgers again. He ordered the double-bacon cheeseburger while I opted for the patty melt. Again, I took a stab at their breaded onion rings and found it lacking–flavorless, like the kind you find in your grocer’s freezer. The fries tasted better, though they weren’t the same kind of wedges we got at the original location. My patty melt came with two cheeses oozing over the sauteed onions. While the burger came medium well, it was juicy and full of beefy flavor. My man reported that his came medium-well too but delicious, perhaps near the top of his list, as burgers go. His only complaint came from the bacon, which while plentiful, wasn’t fresh and too crunchy from sitting under a heat lamp too long.

Total damaged amounted to $22 and change with a soda. We’ll be back to try out their Mediterranean menu.
