Nope. You get a flat bed but it is not Delta One service. Delta One is a product that is a combination of hard product (flat bed seats) + soft product (meals, Westin bedding, etc). LAX-ATL would be the exact same service as SAN-ATL (domestic first class), but would have the flat beds (just a nice perk).

I have actually taken that flight and typically receives a sandwich (no choice/hot). It is possible that could have changed, but in the 3 times I have taken it in the last year, we were always fed up front.

Interesting data point. Do you recall if the itinerary showed "refreshments" as well?

In Delta.com's meal-service parlance, "snack" indicates a single-option, light, hot meal. It's typically a sandwich with chips, fruit, and a packaged dessert. The "snack" is mostly served on 1,500+ mile flights departing between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m., but also on a number of long, late-night routes such as ANC-MSP, OGG-LAX, LIH-LAX, etc.
"Refreshments," on the other hand, indicates beverage and snack basket service only.

DL2499 LAX-DTW
B767-300
May 2016
First Class
Lunch
Choice of chilled Asian beef salad or chicken quesadillas.
Meal orders taken back-to-front by a friendly crew, although no PDB service was provided. Snack basket offered 45 minutes prior to landing. F seat pitch and width are laughably bad on the 763, but hard to complain too much about a free upgrade given I'm batting about 20% this year as a DL Plat.

Any recent reports on SEA-KOA? Or even SEA-OGG/HNL? I know it's your standard domestic fare, just looking for examples. My upgrade just cleared for this week.
Also, is the BOB menu the regular BOB or the Hawaii EATS menu? I couldn't tell if Hawaii EATS was just for MSP/ATL/JFK-HNL, or if it covered all Hawaii routes. Part of our party is traveling in Y.

The Hawaii eats menu is only for the long hauls (MSP/ATL/JFK), because, for some reason, Delta thinks its OK to run 8+ hour flights and not serve a meal. If flying in coach on any DL flight to Hawaii (including 5 hour runs from the west coast) I would bring my own food.

MD-88
Depart 0935
Arrive 1243
Full open bar for PDB
Once in the air multi drinks runs and snack basket, so on this trip it was DL and AA and it seems that they serve roughly the same things in the snack basket, would have been nice to have breakfast items in the basket.
Also would be nice if the power ports on these planes had USB ports... But did enjoy the free wifi for the IFE.

Ugh, opted for a "chicken fajita salad" on MCO-LGA. Blah Salas with no dressing per se. Greens, yellow/red peppers, mushrooms, chicken breast. Some sort of goo with pepper/spices on the side. Not a fan.
I avoided the meatball thing, due to it being very space in the past. They have apparently improved that one adding spinach and feta.
