Event catering with fresh sandwich selection

Our Story

A Taste of Home Since 1999

What started in quaint downtown Gibsonville over two decades ago has grown into a Burlington staple. Since 1999, Delancy's Restaurant has been a family-owned and operated labor of love, dedicated to serving the best home-cooked meals in the community.

Our Mission

"Homestyle meals, made with care for our community."

The Delancy's Difference

We specialize in the kind of comfort food that feeds the soul. Everything in our kitchen is made from scratch with high-quality, fresh ingredients. It's this commitment to quality that sets us apart-one bite and you'll feel like your own grandmother is in the kitchen doing the cooking.

Local Favorites:

  • The Classics: Our legendary meatloaf and savory chicken pie.

  • The Sides: Made-from-scratch mashed potatoes and seasoned pinto beans.

  • Hand-Crafted: Our signature pimento cheese sandwiches paired with fresh hand-cut fries or our famous hot chips.
