Whew…If I didn’t know any better I would have thought my mother and grandmother was in Melvin’s kitchen whipping of the mac and cheese. Whoever whipped it up knew how to balance the cheese and pasta to make a delicious cheesy and buttery dish. The pulled chicken was tender and the greens, although a little too salt was good. I’m use to a thicker bq sauce and didn’t have an appreciation for the thin, vinegar based liquid sauce. I don’t eat pork or beef but my husband raved about the brisket being smoky and tender and pork skins(made fresh daily).

Visiting here from Ga. The Mac and cheese was magically delicious! The brisket and the chicken was very tender and flavorful as well. I also loved the variety of sauces that were available to try. If you like soft and sweet cornbread, this is definitely a good place to get it. It wasn’t very busy but the atmosphere was pleasant to eat in. I would come back here without question.

I thoroughly enjoyed dining at Melvin’s Barbecue. I had the Bug Joe pulled chicken sandwich with baked beans and an order of macaroni and cheese. It was delicious! I dined in with my family of four and everyone loved their meal. The macaroni and cheese and the lemonade were my favorites next to the chicken and baked beans. I also ordered a brownie, yet I didn’t have room to taste it yet, however my son loved his. I will definitely be back and recommend it to others.

The food and service is splendid, and I thoroughly enjoy my time with my family here. If you are looking for a restaurant to either sit down with your family, or just grab n go eat at home, then this is your place. The atmosphere screams BBQ and although the lines can get out of the door long, it is well worth the wait. I would personally recommend their brisket if they aren’t sold out by the time you get there!

I am a BBQ snob and this place is great! The meat is good quality and there’s no mystery to what you’re eating. All the sides for our family of 5 were excellent. My favorite is the sweet potato though!

I am all for young people to be active and work , but in a professional setting and service environment they need to be trained and guided to provide great customer service.

This is a fantastic barbecue restaurant. Some of the best barbecue in the area! My wife and I love the extra peppers and pickles they have available to you.

I went here with my family last week. It was absolutely disgusting. When we walked in at about 5:00 PM, and we were met with dirty tables and staff lazing around. We had to clean the table ourselves with a few napkins. After that, my sister (a teenager) went to the bathroom and when she came out, there were 4 workers standing creepily by the door, almost waiting for her to get out. That was pretty much the only time we saw them other than them packing away food an hour or so early. The ice machine was broken, they “ran out” of multiple drinks, and it was overall an unpleasant experience. The food was mediocre as well and my party agreed. We had to warn an old couple about this experience on our way out. Do not recommend.

Visit this gem every time we visit from Georgia. Several times a year. The food is amazing. brisket, smoked turkey, burgers, fries, baked beans, okra…… It’s all of the chain.

This place was great! The ribs were tender, the greens were seasoned perfectly, baked beans had just enough tang, and the portions were worth the price!
