About Melba's on Tulane Ave.

Melba's on Tulane Ave. is a charming restaurant, known for its delicious food, similar to its original location. A variety of options are available, including red beans and rice, cabbage, cornbread, corn grits, wings, and shrimp poboys. The shrimp po-boy is legendary, with shrimp fried to perfection and stacked high on a classic soft and chewy loaf. The restaurant is open 24/7, making it a convenient stop, particularly after late nights in the French Quarter. While there is plenty of seating, it seems to be mainly takeout, especially after 2 am. The staff is helpful and friendly, providing a pleasant dining experience. Although some reviews mention that the wings could be more flavorful, with the garlic parmesan and Buffalo hot lacking distinct tastes, the gumbo has received high praise. Overall, Melba's offers standard New Orleans fare, including poboys, burgers, and fried seafood, making it a decent option for late-night grub in mid-city.

don't like mel's,food to greasy

Absolute MUST stop when we are traveling through NOLA! Melba's never disappoints, always fresh and always delicious!

Really slipping. No one in line. 4 employees and waiting over 20 mins for food they claim would be ready in “a few minutes”. Rude and absolutely zero attempts at customer service. Just need someone to it in a bag, if I hadn’t paid I would have left awhile ago
