I was happy with the thick bread and melty cheese (bread was Texas toast thickness). Also, the fries were crispy and hot. They needed a little salt, but no biggie. It was an order at counter and pick up your food system. The numbers getting called overhead was a bit much given thst we were there during the busy time. It was casual with lots of interior and outside seating. My group of six was able to secure high top seating quickly and easily. But, it definitely wasn't a spot you'd want to linger in. Great to grab a bite of reliably good food on the beach!

Ketchup, mustard, onions, slaw, chili, and hot sauce- these are your toppings options. We make it a point to come to Melvin's every year when we come to White Lake. I wouldn't call them smash burgers but the way the secret blend of meat crisps up on the outside is something I haven't found where I'm from. When you step inside and see the line don't fret. They move customers thru like a machine. Everyone behind the counter has a responsibility so burger and dog production is high. I've heard they only make so many burgers a day so if they run out you are out of luck. The chili for topping the burgers and dogs is homemade as well and is bangin'.

This was day (2) of my east-coast road trip (Florida to New Jersey) and the one thing I wanted do…read moreto is to stop at road side food shacks when ever possible...day (1) drive did not produce any, but on this day, yes. I had just left a muscle car museum out side of Myrtle Beach, which I was a bit disappointing, and was making some distance from and heading to Rocky Mount. It wasn't long till Siri got me on some back roads which I wanted to take, keeping clear of major highways and chain food places. Nothing but mom-pop food stands for me and Fritz (my car). Rolling down route 410 (Green Sea Road) I starting to get hungry and looked over and saw a sign for Burger Ranch. I drove past for some reason and told my self to turn around, and glad I did. Pulled into the parking lot which only had one car parked. Once I stepped inside I knew this was a bona fide burger joint. There was only one person working the place and she had it going on. Did not know there were call-in orders being handled till it started to arrive. I ordered just your basic cheese burger, fries and a root-beer. When the sweet lady brought my food to me I could see this was your standard burger, not something you can't fit in your mouth. I had lettuce on mine and she was good enough to put it on the bottom as to not make the bun weak. And the fries where as tasty as they look. I thanked god I turned around and stopped, it was a pick-me-up from the car museum I had just visited. One last thing, get in your car drive and yourself an epic food shack to share. I so recommend this place. Follow me to my next shack. Peace.

We've tried pretty much everything on the menu. This is an older establishment that has kept its old charm. One aspect we appreciate about it. Very simple ordering process and great customer service. Simple menu with plenty of options for everyone. The food is cooked to order and doesn't take long even when it's really busy. Plenty of seating and a large parking lot. We have enjoyed every meal here and will continue to do so. Recommend dining here. Interesting note: if you search for the best burger restaurants in NC, they are on the list.

I joined the Marine Corps and left the area, but I would always stop there when home on leave. About 15 years later, I was so disappointed when the store was no longer there. Well, I have finally found the closest thing to what I enjoyed over 50 years ago. Awesome dogs with thick meat sauce, sweet onions and mustard. They also put coleslaw on them, but I had to go with my boyhood passion, so no coleslaw for me. A friend told me that he had never had a dog with coleslaw before, but he thoroughly enjoyed it. The shake was pretty dang good too. I will be back this weekend again!

The burger itself was juicy and had a good flavor. One of the better burgers I've had honestly and you have a ton of toppings to choose from. My one bite score came out to a whopping 8.2/10 which is the 4th highest rated burger on my scale ever. The sweet potato wedges were amazing the cinnamon is the way to go! I was kind of disappointed with the sizing I ordered a large to split between the two of us and it wasn't enough. The 12 oz shake was amazing the only thing with that was it took forever. I was done with my food by the time the shake was done. It did look like they only have one shake machine so that could be why it took so long but the fact the I was done with my food before even seeing the shake was a bit crazy. The price of it all was a bit steep in the 40 some dollar range, but it was great. Also kinda in a random place but the vibes were great in there and the food was good I would say it is definitely worth the drive.

The fries, were a bit salty for my liking, but obviously that can be shook off and better than having none at all; they also offer mesquite bbq as a seasoning instead of just salt. Located at the end of a strip mall, with plenty of parking. Come down and check this place out for yourself. The staff were awsome, kind, and polite with energetic spirits, the restaraunt was clean, and most importantly....so was the bathroom.

The restaurant is located on the end in a strip mall - there is seating outside in the grass and also two tables in the front on the sidewalk under the awning. When you walk into the restaurant, the first thing you notice is it's old diner feel. There are booths alongside the wall to the left and there is the entire cooking station and grill to the right. You must walk to the back of the restaurant to get in line to place your order. I was incredibly shocked how busy this place was - I counted 23 people in line ahead of me and 40 something people inside the restaurant in total, not counting all of those who were sitting on the picnic tables outside. I could not believe how busy this place was especially for serving pretty much only burgers, dogs, and fries. Woah! As I waited in line, I could hear people talking about how much they love the burgers. But I was on a mission for a hotdog which is what I ended up ordering. This was without a doubt, the best hot dog with chili and slaw that I have had on the East Coast of North Carolina. While the burgers in Wilmington are OK, I would say that this place beats it all by far. It's probably the chili. My dogs were $4.50 each, fries $3. Everything on the menu is cheap and they only take cash. The good news is if you did not bring any cash there is ATM on site. I will never make the mistake of not stopping by here again next time I am driving from South Carolina to Wilmington.

The menu is limited, but that means that they have perfected everything!! If you're hungry, you may need to get two hot dogs. They are great, but aren't the biggest. The crinkle cut fries are standard hot dog establishment fries. Soft on the inside, crisp on the outside, you can't go wrong. The tea is weak and is a bit watery. The restrooms are clean but are old. When it's busy, you may have to wait for a table. You stand in line to order and then grab a table, so the line may be about 10 mins max. The service is great! They know what they're doing and are efficient. Just make the tea better!
