Melvin's Restaurant

Home type cooking without you having to do the cooking. Many bayou favorites. Try to visit every time I am in town. Often times it's multiple visits while I am home. Love this place!!! Friendly staff.

Very good food. Excellent waitstaff. Its on the canal and has really nice water views. There is seafood burgers and grilled chicken. Grilled chicken and seafood were excellent.

Food and service is always great! Only complaint I have is that, In the Summer, the seating area is warm since its next to the large windows. I prefer to sit there but when youre eating hot food and its the middle of July, you may want to wear your hair up so the back of your neck doesnt sweat, lol. This is still my favorite place to take clients for lunch!

Some of the tastiest and fresh fish is here. Just caught. Happy service is here too. Enjoy the view and a delicious cocktail. Fresh flounder. The landscape is a great collection of plants. Reservations are a must.

My son had his wedding reception at Melvin's on the back patio and the dock. Although it was very hot because they chose an outdoor venue in july, it was a great setup. If you are considering renting the venue as an event, please check it out and be prepared to bring fans, portable air conditions, or cooling towers in the summertime. The buffet style food line went smoothly and the food was outstanding.

We stumbled in after a long day of pirating for the Pirates and Boots festival. We were searching for some shrimp and grits and luckily it was the special of the day. Amazing food and the service was superior, even tho we were a bit under dressed for the occasion. Hidden in a beautiful location on the water.

As senior citizens, we wanted our wedding to be remembered by all in attendance as a magical day. Due to the destruction of Hurricane Ida, our choices for a location were somewhat limited. On a recommendation, we visited Melvin’s Restaurant where we sat and planned our wedding with Karla and Beatrice. They were cooperative, supportive and provided suggestions that were spot on. Upon our arrival, we were excited by how our marriage ceremony location in the sunken garden was as we dreamed, magical in its design and setup. The reception’s private dining area and its place settings were both elegant and fitting. Most of all, the food was exceptional. Guests enjoyed either steak or fish with great drinks. Everyone noted the quality of the food especially a 96 year old guest who has the reputation of being quite the picky one. The service during our reception was 5-star. Attentive, accommodating and pleasing are the words that come to mind. Thank you Karla, thank you Beatrice, thank you Melvin’s for making our wedding day such a magical (there’s that word again) memory. We were not disappointed and we now look back with great memory of our time spent at Melvin’s.

I went to Melvin's during a Road Scholar program. The food, service and atmosphere were excellent.
