Excellent, fall-off-the-bone ribs. Tasty catfish. Very good hush puppies. Sides (we had collards, green beans, and cabbage) were merely okay. Ice cream dessert (came with my catfish plate) was generous and yummy. Service was excellent. Off-putting: the entrance (pretty grimy) and the salt shaker (sticky--eww). These imperfections are not enough to keep us from returning when we're on our next I-95 trek.
ChatGPT recommended Melvin’s as the best southern restaurant in an area authentic comfort soul food. Loved the interior, food, service and a brief chat with the owner who stopped by to ask if we like everything. Thank you! Shrimp & grits and Shellie's Souffle absolutely delicious and felt like homemade food very much needed for our long trip. We will most definitely come back and recommend.
It were great everyone was very friendly. And the food were good expensive but good.
