Melba's History
Melba's Creole taste and urban setting are sought after by New Orleans visitors.
Melba's, located just blocks from the French Quarter and on the way to Katrina tours in the Lower 9th W…
After I placed my order, I called the restaurant to ask them to please be sure to put my rice for both beans on the side for a bariatric patient, and I'm beyond grateful that they did just that! My Red Bean Plate (Melbas) were creamy, delicious and hot! The cornbread is always great! The smoked sausage was cooked to literal perfection! Will definitely be ordering again!

The portions of the meals were good, the fried shrimp was good. The bell pepper was good. The turkey leg fell off the bone, but the meat was dry. The mac & cheese was super soggy and mushy, with the noodles breaking apart and needed more seasoning. The ribs were salty, it taste more like sausage to us. We honestly couldn't finish the meal. The food didn't seem too fresh to us but again we did order after midnight. Great customer service

My honest review on the steak, egg and cheese poboy. Number one, the sandwich was almost 30 dollars. $26.75 to be exact. That being said, it was definitely NOT worth it at all. The steak was dry, severely overcooked chopped up pieces. There was VERY little steak, mostly egg, didn’t put one of my cheeses that I paid for, which was 2 dollars and some change alone, not a SPRINKLE of seasoning, and the majority of the steak and egg was towards the middle of the sandwich, which is awful, and to absolutely beat a dead horse here, for almost 30 dollars, I’d absolutely expect to get my money’s worth, and have my sandwich full from end to end, and to have enough of what’s advertised and what I paid for on it! I try to defend Melba’s, people laugh at me for even supporting Melba’s as a local and as a chef, but things like this is why locals hardly support! Melba’s gets over and cuts corners, and they overcharge and majority of the time, they send out lackluster food and it’s not right!

The red beans were fried out like a paste. Thick and almost seemed old. I got the jambalaya with it and it had a strong off putting vinegar smell. The wings however were fresh and seasoned well. The red beans tasted ok --- but definitely not worth getting again or the $17.
