Melbourne Seafood Station

Melbourne Seafood Station is a restaurant that values quick and efficient service, with a recent shift to a sit-down dining experience instead of counter ordering. Customers now enjoy being served by friendly and attentive waitstaff. The staff is generally helpful, and even when short-staffed due to an employee illness, they maintain a high level of service, with the owner personally checking on guests.

The seafood dishes remain the star of the menu, with standout items like crab legs and freshly cooked lobsters that are sweet and tasty. Broiled oysters and shrimp po-boys also receive high praise. Sides like garlic rice, fries, and corn on the cob are generous in portion, often enough to be a meal on their own. However, the seafood dishes still have four holes in the bottom, which can cause butter or other liquids to leak out, and the paper towels are placed loosely, creating a possibility for mess.

The restaurant has a simple and unassuming atmosphere, with hand washing stations conveniently located outside the bathrooms. It is recommended to bring a bib or wear clothing that can handle butter splatters. The restaurant offers outdoor seating and is wheelchair accessible, with a variety of vegetarian options available.

In summary, Melbourne Seafood Station continues to offer delicious seafood dishes in a casual setting. While there are some minor issues with the dishes and paper towels, the attentive service and overall experience make it a place worth returning to.
