I saw something about a hamburger, it was lunch time and I decided to take the detour into town and see if I can get something to go. Suddenly, I was in downtown Elizabethtown, and it was quite charming. A lot of times I go through the small North Carolina towns that used to thrive at one time but are now pretty much shut down and deserted. It was not the case with Elizabethtown. I saw coffee shops and boutiques and clothing stores and of course, Melvin's. When I first walked in, I got nervous because there was a long line and I was not in the mood to be waiting a long time to get a hamburger unless it's for White Castles. But let me tell you something, Melvin's got it worked out to a science. One person takes your order. One person makes your hamburger. One person puts the hamburger in the bag and the other person takes your money. I was in and out of there in less than 2 minutes. It cracked me up. The menu is quite limited. You can have a hamburger or a cheeseburger or a hot dog and that's it. You can't even get fries. You can get a bag of chips which is what I did and some random cookie for a dollar. I enjoyed getting in the car and having my lunch for the ride back home. The hamburger was good and so was the pric... less than five bucks. I got it all the way with coleslaw and ketchup and mustard. and chili Melvin's has been around forever, and it was clear that the locals love it. The line was long and the place was pretty full. People are in and out of there in a few minutes. So anyway, if you're on your way to the beach and on 87, grab a burger at Melvin's and keep the tradition going at Melvin's.

The burger itself with mustard, slaw, chili did the trick and was pretty good. The Deets: I've had a few experiences with Melton's in Elizabethtown, the majority of which have been breakfast biscuits/sandwiches. They have been enjoyable in past visits. We decided this year when coming home from the beach and passing through E'town to grab some lunch to go at Melton's. I have to say, this visit did not hold up to past visits. When going in, it pretty much is what you would expect from a fast food type restaurant. Beyond the usual lit up menu over the ordering counter/register, there are a lot of printed paper items taped up all around as well, looking like they were possibly printed from an inkjet printer. We had a few customers in front of us that ordered then we placed our order to go, then waited. And waited. Yes, waited more. It was a long time, very much more than expected. I'm not sure what took so long, not only for us but other people that were waiting around us. Upon receiving my hamburger with mustard, slaw, chili, hold the onions, I was hungry indeed. The burger itself was pretty good. However the fries, they were not done to a crispy finish on the outside and were rather, mushy, in texture is the only word I can find...a bit disappointing. Enjoying this burger, as well as figuring good visits in the past, but disappointed by the very long wait and the fries not being crispy on the outside, I have to go 3 stars this time.

It was all typical fast-food faire and was priced accordingly. My expectations weren't super high and I was pleasantly surprised. Also, the bathrooms were clean and there was plenty of parking. I don't usually go to BK, but will try it again soon based on this experience.

They have a large parking lot with numbered spots, so you don't forget where you parked. The decor is casual and unassuming. It is a large place, though. It can seat 220 guests and has both booths and tables. I dined here for brunch, but you order from the all-day menu. I read to go early to avoid a wait. Service was friendly, but the goal seemed to be to turn the tables quickly, so many customers left with to-go boxes. Well, I was on the road, so I couldn't go, so they had to wait for me to finish. I ordered the flounder with a baked potato, and it came with hush puppies. The food was really good, and I would have ordered dessert too, but I wasn't asked or even finished with my meal when the bill was dropped off. I liked my food, and the prices were reasonable. I don't like feeling rushed, though and like to enjoy my meal. Payment is taken at the front register. I paid cash because I wasn't sure whether they took credit cards, since that register was closed. By the time I got through the line and got change for the tip, people were already seated at my table. So I had to find my waitress to leave my tip. I might return again when it is less busy.

The staff is rude and disrespectful and even called my husband a "child". My husband had a rough day moving along with some other things and even acknowledged and apologized. The manager stepped up on him trying to intimidate him and told him to come back at 10pm when he gets off and he'll have something for him. My husband called up to the restaurant to get corporates number. After he hung up, he started getting text messages from another manager from his personal phone trying to sell my husband weed and a prostitute. We got in contact with the owner and met with him this morning. To our surprise, we were met by the police. Why call the police if it was supposed to be a friendly meeting to gather information from all parties involved? He seemed racists, very prejudice and didn't want to hear anything my husband had to say. I even tried to ask questions about how he would handle it and he literally stood there looking dumb founded. He made all these accusations but couldn't back anything up with proof or videos. Even after showing him our proof, he didn't want to hear anything that we had to say. He does not value or respect his customer like his employees don't value and respect him. They even talked bad about him and again, we showed proof. Please do not visit this location in Hope Mills. We will be sharing our story to any and everyone. Edited: my husband pointed out that I omitted some important facts. When we got there, after placing our order my husband was leaning on the counter by where they make the desserts. He had been leaning there for a while but not continuously. We had moving so he would lean a few, walk around, go stand back over there and lean some more. The worker told him to move. He asked if there was a sign because usually establishments have a sign advising customers not to lean. There was no sign visible anywhere. A coworker said something in the background and the female who asked my husband to move said, "I don't have time to speak with kids". Then that's where the situation escalated with the manager approaching my husband. When we spoke with the owner, Adrian Madsen he said the worker reported that my husband standing there minding his own business was intimidating to her.
