These people that run this place are so very kind and appreciative of your business. Locally owned. Free ice cream if you dine in. My chicken thighs were crispy and juice on the inside. Great flavor.

We stopped at Mel's on the way home to Florida, so we are not regular customers. (So definitely consider this a point in time review and may not be the experience every day.) We enjoyed the fried chicken on the bone and fried catfish a great deal and the fried okra was yummy. We tried the fried corn on the cob, but it was not good. The dirty rice was bland but my husband enjoyed his red beans and rice. The bigger issue was that the dining room was in need of cleaning, which is always concerning. Would consider coming back, but would definitely stick to the chicken and fish.

Get the 5 Piece Dark, dirty rice and an Arnold Palmer. Chicken was lightly breaded, crisp, chicken was cooked when ordered. About as good as you can get. Rice had a light kick. $8.99. You will tell your Grandkids about this one.

I called to make a pick up order and I asked the guy that answered the phone what was the specials on the fish. His response was, “the special is the same everyday,” then proceeds to tell me hold on. The lady that got on the phone afterwards was rude so I changed my mind about ordering food from

Tried the catfish, shrimp and chicken all very good and they drop it in the fryer right when you order. Sides we tried were fries- really good. Mashed potatoes and gravy- really good and the dirty rice-really good. Sweet tea was also good. Just passing through Louisiana and wanted exactly what they served while we were there. Got it. Also staff very nice
