This was a great meal. Real gravy and iron skillet hamburger steak. Just like grandma would fix it.

I could taste that iron skillet right away. There's just no other way to cook certain things to get this much flavor.

This was my first time visiting and came along with my niece, she and I ordered the smothered pork chops i also had spaghetti and dressing with mine..she had the pork chops ,cabbage and sweet potatoes ..the food was ok ..but a few hours later my niece contacted me and asked me how i was feeling i said ok, but she said she had been to the restroom 3times after eating her meal i told her i was fine..lord and behold i got woke up in the middle of the night with a tore up stomach i almost didn't make it to the restroom..since we both ate the porkchops we're assuming that's what made us sick.probably wasn't prepared properly..i will not be returning and my niece says the same.

This place is amazing! Found out about it through Yelp and saw the amazing reviews so I knew I had to give this place a try; I was blown away. I ordered the smothered pork chops with mac n cheese and fried okra; all of which was solid. The pork-chop was juicy, the fried okra was fantastic, and the mac n cheese also didn't disappoint. My wife got the chicken and dressing with cream potatoes and fried okra. The chicken was also juicy and falling off the bone and the potatoes were good. We then split the butter roll dessert. Words cannot even describe that experience; it was one of the best desserts I've ever had. All this and the service was friendly and fantastic AND the price point was very reasonable. I will certainly be back to Melanie's for some amazing soul-food

Thank you Yelpers for another fantastic gem. In Memphis visiting our daughter. Did the Graceland thing this morning and looked for something in Northern Mississippi for lunch and came across Melanie's. Just a simple little place kinda off the beaten track. For simple good food you can't beat places like this. Couldn't decide between the smothered pork chops or the hamburger steak (Friday special). Our sweet waitress recommended the hamburger steak and mashed potatoes. I added the coleslaw and cornbread. Yes, it was just two pieces of ground beef but cooked up in a skillet with some amazing Southern gravy. Something this California boy would hope for in a true southern meal!Daughter and wife both had catfish - light and full of flavor. Also had to try some wings. Great wings. Got the mild ones but they had a pretty good kick - wonder what the hot and suicide ones would be like!!Great little spot for some true down home cooking!

Amazingly awesome food! I definitely recommend! My husband had loaded shrimp and grits, I had smothered pork chops with okra, cabbage and corn bread. You definitely will not be disappointed! Portions are big and food is fresh and are delectable with every bite.

I give this one 5 stars without hesitation. The portions were just right. Two hamburger steaks instead of just one. I could instantly tell the gravy was made from the meat and that no part of it came from a box or a bag. One bite in that beef and I knew it was cooked in an iron skillet. You just can't get that flavor any other way. The mashed potatoes were homemade. The tea was awesome. If I had one thing to complain about, it would be that the roll came straight out of the bag. I got over it. This meal hit the spot! Nothing like the last place that was here.

Had the chance of dining with this establishment a few weeks ago. I got there not long after they opened. The owner seemed to be not so inviting yet not overly happy to see me and the person I was with. Either way I placed an order for the catfish plate whIch came with 2 sides. Wasn't much to choose from yet I chose yams & mac n chz. The fried catfish was tasty & seasoned well yet the 2 sides weren't so great. I expected the Mac n chz to be much better yet it tasted a little sour.

very unprofessional highly wouldn't recommend . I got ordered 2 snow cones and rotel dip . She had children under 16 yrs old taking orders they brought out my kids snow cone 1 at a time so they had to fight over them for a minute . I asked the child before I ordered was the hotel dip already made before I ordered because I did not want to wait a long time being I had to kids with me in the hot sun , He proceeded by telling me yes it was already made . The owner (Melanie) came out to tell me there was 1 order before me and that he ordered wings, hamburgers, etc. And told me I was being impatient and that she was the only person cooking . I've been in the restaurant industry for over 7 yrs I thought that was very unprofessional . If I ordered something that you had to only throw in a bowl why make me wait over 30 mins because someone ordered things that had to be thrown in grease and actually be cooked before me. I see why none of her businesses don't succeed. I will not be back and I wouldn't recommend any of my friends and family going to support her either.
