• 12/13/24After 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!

• 1/4/25My 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!

• 7/18/24The red bean plate needed much flavor in the beans, but a little creole seasoning helped. I was extremely disappointed to find that both the red beans were full of rice, with not much beans ladled over the top, and masqued to appear to have a good amount of beans when its seriously NOT! One of the oldest, most awful tricks in the book, and as not only a chef and caterer, as a repeat customer and supporter of Melba's, I'm both offended and appalled! Not enough beans for the price AT ALL! The chicken was fresh out of the grease, and so were the fries! The chicken was seasoned and fried absolutely perfectly and beautifully, and the fries didn't have any salt or seasoning whatsoever, but they were fried perfectly crispy and held up until the dasher got my order to me, I'm thoroughly impressed with that! And last but CERTAINLY not least, the cornbread! They didn't give me the one that was supposed to come with the chicken and fries, but the one I got with the Red Bea Plate (Melbas) was literally the BEST cornbread I have ever had in my life, like seriously! Sweet and perfect, puts you in the mind of a fluffy cornmeal cake! I mean I will go and buy those in bulk for my Sunday dinner, brunch, lunch, parties, afternoon snack, YOU NAME IT! All around, I may give Melba's another chance based on the cornbread alone, but please incorporate integrity, customers deserve to actually get food when they pay for it! Thank you!

• 6/7/26The fish plate, shrimp plate, 8oz.gumbo and 10pc parm. wings were awful!!!! The gumbo was all rice, no flavor, no juice and a few pieces of chicken!!! The fish plate with mac& cheese was horrible as well! The Mac and cheese had absolutely no flavor, the fish was greasy and not seasoned well either! The wings were swimming in sauce and soggy, I tried one and was disgusted! The inside was pink! We didn't touch the shrimp plate because it was insulting to say the least; 6-7 small-med shrimp and they appeared greasy as well!!!! I didn't bother taking any more pics! I'm just disgusted and irritated! I SPENT A TOTAL OF $92.00 FOR GARBAGE!!!! WON'T EVER ORDER AGAIN!
