I recently dined at Melvin’s at Riverside, and it was a delightful experience! 🌟 The atmosphere was cozy and casual, perfect for a relaxed lunch. I ordered the ribs and they were fantastic - tender and flavorful! The crab balls with a kick of Asian dipping sauce were a hit too.
My only wish was for sweeter baked beans. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Don’t skip the banana pudding; it’s a must-have! 🍰 I’ll definitely be back for more delicious comfort food...!
