Your spot for delicious, Southern, homestyle food, Della J’s, is ready to serve guests at 7692 Richmond Hwy. Last Wednesday, owners Jerry and Lydia Young held an official grand opening along with Virginia Del. Paul Krizek, Mount Vernon District Supervisor Dan Storck, Franconia District Supervisor Rodney Lusk, family members, friends and other guests.
“I couldn’t be happier,” said Jerry Young, who spent a lot of time along the Richmond Highway corridor growing up. The restaurant relocated to Mount Vernon Plaza from its location in Springfield, where it was for five years. Find out more about the inspiration behind Della J’s and the move from our conversation with the Youngs in August.
Della J’s is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m.-10 p.m.
