Mel's Place

babyyyyy the hot sausage link and fries were seasoned and cooked to perfection . i initially wanted onion rings and lumpia as wellbut they were sold out nevertheless i was not disappointed and i came in an hour beforeclosing !! my new spot !

Clickish and unfriendly. This is definitely a neighborhood pub. Anyone not recognized is basically stared down until you (we) leave.

No complaints about Mel's Place. It seems like a place where everyone knows each other. The crowd is older, but we all know that age is nothing but a number. I'll admit that it felt a little weird arriving in the bar...kinda like who is this person enter our establishment. However, that feeling went away within a few seconds. While visiting the bar for my rounds of booze, I had quite a few random conversations with a couple of the regulars. Sabrina, the bartender, was great and super friendly. The main bar is a bit smoky, but Mel's has a smoke-free section that is in a completely different room. The food and (more importantly) the beverages are pretty cheap, and the restaurant has daily specials. Since I just moved to the area, I hope to make this place my local watering hole.

This seems like a spot where everybody knows your name, except my friend and I. We totally stick out, but that's ok. Everyone was super nice, said hello etc. Kat (with a K) is so awesome. She made us feel right at home. Great service, and Heather!!!! Great food in a super timely manner. I'll definitely be back next time we touch down in VA Beach.

Just wanted to try those late night restaurants that until now I didn't have the chance to even be up and awake to go anywhere! It's 1:44am. Been here for about 15 minutes, was given the last call for food orders. I ordered lumpia. It's probably the freshest lumpia I have ordered in a while. The servers were friendly. This place has several TV screens, a back room with billiard tables. There were 3 poker/casino game machines by the door. There is ample seating for about 10 people aside from at the bar. Not sure what I sensed, maybe just the heavy fumes of cigarette smoke smell and the crowd that was way uncomfortably too friendly.....

To each his own, this place isn't really my scene. We just stopped in for a night cap on the form of a Long Island. The drink was ok, the sour mix tasted watered down but I don't see it as a place to go for a good handmade cocktail. The stench of cigarettes was very pungent on the inside. I am thankful they had an outdoor area roped off because of COVID. Otherwise I would have walked in and then walked right back out. But like I said to each his own....

Came in for a beer and decided to get a Mel burger and it didn't disappoint. I've always seen this place before but I never tried it out until today and I will definitely be back.

Decent prices and good food--I especially enjoyed the lumpia. The other dive bar items were okay, but I've had better. The pool tables are a nice touch, and I appreciate that they separate their smoking and non-smoking sections. Overall, it's a nice little hole in the wall with really good servers.

This is the best bar ever. The service is so good and professional, the place is so clean and the workers makes you feel like home. They really take care of you and the best 2 bartenders I ever seen are the international girl Katerina and Danielle. Food was amazing too.

First time here the barQ was Wonderful! Slaw, onion rings and French fry's perfect!. The peach pie was fresh peaches and crust was like your grandma would make! Ice cream was excellent too! We stopped on our way back to PA we wanted to watch the Penn State game we sat in the corner and watch till half they were very accommodating!
