Mel's Cafe

Highly recommended. I had the barbecue ribs with cabbage and red beans and rice. Very delicious. Also an ice cold slice of watermelon and lemon meringue pie. One of the best things you can do for yourself is eat at Mel's. The service is exceptional. Our waitress was very attentive and wouldn't let us lift a finger.

Stopped in here for the first time today. Was not disappointed at all. The Cafe has a wonderful atmosphere to it. Inside and outside sitting. The building itself is packed with the history of the business. The food was excellent, as was the service. Will be in the area quite a lot , and will be stopping in again.

Great food great service, and the build has some pretty cool history dont forget to check out the photos on the walls!! Thank you for the fabulous meal it’ll make the next part of our journey better
