Yes you'll get food if flying in F. Check out this thread for recent examples of what DL has been serving domestically and internationally in F:

If flying in Coach, Delta does a buy on board (think it's called Delta FUEL). Don't have a link to what that entails but you can probably find details on DL forum
EDIT: Here is the FUEL menu but can't tell if it's the current menu or not but should give you an idea of what they sell if you aren't in F http://news.delta.com/sites/default/...MECH_final.pdf

plenty of (fast) food options if you want to eat before flying (or bring on board. avoid pungent foods though). note the hours though (eg chick-fil-a is closed on sundays, IHOP is open 24/7)

I am not sure where you do most of your flying, but IMO the buy-on-board (usually better than F) trend has pushed US carriers well above their counterparts in other regions on the food front. And, as Duke787 mentioned, you can also get solid food in airports.

Appreciate the info. Flight Fuel really doesn't look that bad. Don't know if we have enough time between flights as the flights are connecting from Gainesville, Florida. Do they allow passengers to bring food on board? Probably would be just as expensive if not more.

Realistically, if you do not know what/where to grab something on the run, it is probably simpler to just get the buy-on-board food.
If you know what you want and where to get it, then obviously that gives you more selections. Still overpriced mass made food.
At ATL, my hometown airport, I know exactly where to grab an Indian curry dish and a side of kimchi before hopping on the flight.

Don't rely on buying on board. There may well be little or nothing left by the time the cart gets to you, depending on where you are seated. Either buy something at ATL or GNV (clearly less choice). You can, of course, also bring something from home.

Ummm no. Have you flown regional in Asia recently? They offer full meals on 2-3 hour flights, and all the ones I had were pretty good.
