“ The food was delicious. Be patient. Service is not quick, but the food is worth the wait. ”
“ My boyfriend and I just left from eating here and everything was really good but the wings I got weren’t really flavorful I couldn’t distinguish the flavors. The garlic parmesan didn’t taste like anything and Buffalo hot wasn’t really hot but other than that everything else was really good. My boyfriend enjoyed his shrimp poboy and the gumbo was top notch! ”
“ I live extremely close to this new location and I am happy to have it in the neighborhood. Open 24 hrs, I love stopping by for a quick breakfast or maybe a hot sausage poboy. I do recommend ordering online because the place is always busy. A 20 min wait is common. The facilities are clean and brightly lit. ”
“ Passed by this place on the way to our Airbnb and decided to give it a shot. DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The po boy sandwiches are massive. We ordered a grilled and fried shrimp po boy sandwiches fully dressed and both were beyond delicious. Service was friendly and inviting. Main restaurant building has a small eat in section consisting of 3 four person tables and bar window stools. Outside area has plenty of picnic tables. On site adult gaming rooms. And if you're in the mood for a daiquiri then you're in daiquiri heaven. We'll definitely eat here again! ”
“ Good food, friendly staff, and Great atmosphere. Definite Magnetic Diamond Vibe ”
“ We ended up here because of this spot's proximity to our hostel - and it was the only open restaurant at 1 am when we landed. We came back a couple of days later just because the food was so good. It was a bit of a wait (understandably, it's a very popular spot). The grilled fish po'boy was to die for, and all sides we tried were delicious. They also have all sorts of daiquiris in all imaginable sizes, in case you're thirsty. ”
“ If you’re looking for a comforting place to enjoy Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, Melba’s is a wonderful choice! Every dish is made with genuine care and passion, so you can truly feel the warmth in each bite. Come and experience the love that goes into their food—it’s like receiving a heartfelt hug with every meal. You're sure to feel right at home! ”
“ Went there with a big group, there were only two workers and they were so busy but they did a wonderful job! Food was good and still delivered in a timely manner! The lady working the front was so sweet too! Portions were way bigger than I had thought! I got the grits and they were so good! ”
