Great food, charming staff, and a most welcoming experience for this old man from Montgomery, Alabama. Still a great place, months later. Sadly, they have dropped from the menu am item that I looked Forward to whenever I visited Charleston; the Saturday special, chicken fried steak.Wheelchair accessibility: Well-placed ramps near the door

My collard greens are way too salty. The ribs was very salty but all in all I do like to eat there only to ease up on the salt for people like myself diabetics and can’t have all that salt but you guys are great thank you.

I’ve only been to the Mt. P location until recently and I can say no matter which one you go to the service and food is beyond. Everything has so much flavor, the ribs are huge and finger licking good! Of course the barbecue is to die for but the sides and desserts have just as much love in em. Thank you Melvin’s ?

Showed up the the drive around 7 o clock march 18th 2024 and went to get food with my little girl. We got a double cheeseburger meal , a kids finger meal and a side of hush puppies (4 SMALL acorn size hushpuppies). The total was 37 after tax for just 2 people to eat. When getting home to check my food, the burger had been smashed to oblivion to where the bun was as flat as paper. When eating the burger there was a fish taste at the end of every bite. Which we had MULTIPLE people taste test and verify it tasted like fish. Than the french fries were cold. My daughter gets her nuggets and they are 100% frozen chicken nuggets and they were cold also. Than to find out i payed 4.50$ for 4 SMALL acorn size hushpuppies i was blown away. The staff is nice and the atmosphere inside is cool but it comes down to food I wouldn't recommend eating here unless something changes.

Ah, where do I even begin to extol the virtues of Melvin's, this veritable mecca of culinary delights nestled in the heart of barbecue aficionados' dreams? From the moment I crossed the threshold of this gastronomic sanctuary, I was ensconced in an ambiance that whispered promises of tantalizing flavors and culinary mastery.Let me regale you with the tale of their divine brisket, a veritable symphony of tenderness and succulence that danced upon my palate with each savory bite. The brisket, oh, the brisket! Cooked to perfection, it yielded effortlessly to the gentlest pressure of my fork, releasing a cascade of smoky, meaty goodness that seemed to transcend the boundaries of mere mortal cuisine. Each morsel was imbued with a depth of flavor that spoke of hours of patient, meticulous slow-cooking, rendering it a true masterpiece of the pit.And let us not forget the fried okra, a humble vegetable transformed into a culinary marvel through the alchemy of Melvin's kitchen. Crisp, crunchy, and bursting with flavor, each bite of this golden-brown delicacy was a revelation unto itself. The okra, delicately coated in a perfectly seasoned batter, offered a symphony of textures that delighted the senses—a crispy exterior yielding to a tender, succulent interior that left me yearning for just one more bite.But Melvin's is more than just a purveyor of exceptional barbecue; it is a temple of hospitality, where every guest is welcomed as though they were family. The service, gracious and attentive, ensured that my every need was anticipated and met with a warmth and sincerity that left me feeling truly valued as a patron.In conclusion, dear reader, if you find yourself in search of an epicurean adventure that transcends the ordinary and embraces the sublime, look no further than Melvin's. Here, amidst the aroma of smoldering hickory and the laughter of fellow diners, you will discover a culinary experience that will linger in your memory long after the last morsel has been savored. Five stars hardly seem sufficient to convey the sheer magnificence of this culinary oasis, but rest assured, Melvin's has earned every one and then some.
