Melvin’s at Riverside

Stopped in for a quick bite/early dinner before seeing a show @ the Crown Theatre -- what an unexpected treat! The food was so amazing! I had the 1/2 rack of ribs & my hubby had the fried chicken. Sides were delicious (greens, cornbread, baked potato). Hush puppies for appetizer were crispy & delicious. The banana pudding (secret menu item) was a fun treat, too! Our server (Melvin "not the owner" Randall) was very funny and kind. Can't beat the prices, either! We would highly recommend!

We had such a great experience thanks to our server, FeFe! She was incredibly sweet and had such a warm, welcoming vibe that immediately made us feel comfortable. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions with confidence, which made ordering easy. She checked on us multiple times without being overwhelming and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. Overall, amazing service — FeFe did a wonderful job and truly made our experience even better!

Well where do I start, the food was Just okay, i ordered salmon bites as an appetizer and for my entrée I ordered pork chops, macaroni and cheese and collard greens. The salmon bites were delicious. The macaroni and cheese was delicious. The collard greens were bland dry and although I can tell they did not come out of a can they taste like it . the pork chops were fried to perfection but dry on the inside my guest ordered Chicken wings sweet potato soufflé and baked beans. We share this sweet potatoes soufflé because it is delicious the wings, we had to tear through the coat in order to get to the meat see picture attach for how much feathers were on the chicken. It was very discouraging to eat. We began to pick it off, but then after a while, got discouraged because it was so much the

Our first time here. Saw the ads on Facebook and had to try the food. As a food blogger, I must say, the food was absolutely delicious and the staff was friendly. The portions were huge and prices reasonable. Will definitely be back.

Food and atmosphere is awesome. Food is fresh authentic and delicious. First time going. Come this way a little bit but never noticed it. Please stop by. The wife and I had the $60 platter which was great on all levels. Definitely will be coming back.
