Their order came with fries and I ordered mashed potatoes and coleslaw with my dinner. Hush puppies and a corn muffin came with my meal. It took about 25-30 minutes for our meal to arrive. My dinner was delicious. Country fried steak was tender and crispy. Mashed potatoes had chunks which I like, the coleslaw was creamy with great taste, hush puppies were fantastic, and the only disappointment was the corn muffin was not warm. My wife loved her burger.

You order, they plate it, you pay and either take it to go or to sit in the small dining area. Service is very quick and efficient, and you can tell there are a lot of regulars who come here because the staff joked and laughed with them as they waited in line. Speaking of the line, it moved fast but while we were there a woman came around with a tray and offered little cups of brightly colored something. I chose red and was delighted to see it was a frozen punch, red is cherry. My friend got orange and he said it was like a mango or peach flavor. I ordered the fried chicken, with cabbage and red rice. The cabbage was absolute fire, it was so tender and delicious. The red rice was good, but a bit on the dry side. I feel like had I been there when a fresh pan was brought out it would have been a lot better. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and had a flaky crust but it needed salt and the tables did not provide any. I would come back, there are so many other things I would love to try and this place is busy for a reason.

There's actually a restaurant in Hilton Head that serves Lowcountry cuisine, but we didn't get a chance to visit it, so finding this spot was a real treat. We arrived promptly at 11 am, and while the inside was a bit musty at first, the cool air quickly kicked in and made it comfortable. We wanted to try a variety of dishes, my partner and I decided to share some lunch specials. We went with the Homestyle Meatloaf and Fried Pork Chops, both served with two sides and tea. The sides included collard greens, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and corn nuggets. Gosh, I'm still dreaming about that delicious, home-cooked meal! The service, food, and ambiance exceeded my expectations. It's a charming spot that's definitely worth a visit if you're passing through. I'll be dreaming of that meal for a while =) highly recommend giving them a try!

Self serve on beverages, napkins, and utensils. Staff was nice. Food: this is mixed. I got the Baby Shark which is 6 fried shrimp and a piece of fried flounder, comes with 1 side and 3 hush puppies. The shrimp and flounder were nicely cooked without heavy breading. The hush puppies were weird. They were cooked but had almost a beer batter thick outside and the inside tasted almost like raw meal or flour. Tasted greasy but they were not visibly greasy. Since it's their namesake, one would think the hush puppies would be great. I couldn't eat them. The fries had batter on them. They were crispy. I prefer no batter on fries but for those who like that, you'd probably like them. Now the sauces: the tartar was too salty and was missing something that I couldn't figure out. The cocktail sauce was also too salty but did have a nice horseradish kick. There was something missing from it too that I couldn't put my finger on. Maybe it was just the salt overload messing it up. Overall the seafood itself was pretty good but the sides and sauces bring my review down.

I ordered the quesadillas and what I believe was a brisket (4 my friend) sandwich and the pictures of the macaroni looks like trash and I'm here to verify it is. Absolutely no flavor. It tastes like kids in the third grade home economics made it. Your collard greens and macaroni has to be good in a barbecue joint. Come on, man.

I grew up in Charleston SC, lived almost 20 yrs in Kansas City and recently moved from Austin TX,…read morewhich means my BBQ knowledge is fairly extensive. I inevitably get the question "who has the best BBQ?" to which my response is always any state can have great or poor BBQ these days. That leads me to writing a review of Melvin's BBQ in Mount Pleasant. Located in a fairly easy location to access in Mt Pleasant but depending on the time of day traffic can be horrible, Melvin's has an extremely modest exterior. I'll admin I never went inside, but through the drive-thru. The service was fast and the people were nice. I'll start off with the sides. First up, I've been craving REAL onion rings for some time. I've had it with the prefrozen, fast food garbage and wanted the real deal. Melvin's rings are a step above but I admit, they had way too much breading to onion ratio. A lot of mustard Q sauce made me forget that indiscretion. Another item I've been craving for years is hash. Well again I believe it was an average effort. I didn't detect much meat, rather a lot more filler veggies than an assortment of meats. This affects the flavor as texture tricks the mind; an example is spaghetti & macaroni noodles, same ingredients but hits the mouth different. Back to the point, the hash left me craving - hash. That said the rice was really good and if the meat volume was increased this would have been a "winner winner hash dinner." I got the spare ribs and it was above average as I was expecting less resistance when biting down and pulling away. The smoke was on point but if I'm splitting hairs could have used a wee bit more, but I'm being overly lustful. Part of my disappointment is I literally just had BBQ twice in Texas within the last two months and the ribs; spare and babyback. Sorry, Texas rules in BBQ, in this case technique as SC is the Pig Capital. As for the pulled pork sandwich - pure bliss. The pork was moist and flavorful while having the perfect amount of meat piled high on a soft bun. That and I love the Golden BBQ sauce. This sandwich is worth its weight in gold! In summary, I went to another Melvins growing up. Once a month my dad and I would stop in and get a BBQ sandwich and onion rings on the way to the lake. These memories have stuck with me and while the onion rings are a tad off, the sandwich is exactly what I remember which brought a smile to my face. I have a feeling my nitpicking might have caught them on an off day so I'll be hitting the restaurant again. The sandwich and sauce is good enough for the sins of the masses!
