Reviews for Mel's Cafe in Charlottesville, VA
Mel's is a great relaxed spot with honest and tasty food options. Breakfast for dinner is a win all the time but lots of BBQ... sandwiches and fried chicken passing through the doors too! I would definitely have the George Omelet again! Read more

Haven't been to Mel's for several years. My experience yesterday was a very pleasant one. Staff very friendly like always and... the food was pretty good. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't offer cornbread just dinner rolls. All in all, myexperience was good! Read more
Highly recommended. I had the barbecue ribs with cabbage and red beans and rice. Very delicious. Also an ice cold slice of... watermelon and lemon meringue pie. One of the best things you can do for yourself is eat at Mel's. The service is exceptional. Our waitress was very attentive and wouldn't let us lift a finger. Read more

Absolutely off-the-chain ridiculous so good. My boyfriend and I shared the Turkey Breast with Red Beans & Rice, Mashed Potatoes,... & Gravy, Fried Chicken, Mac & Cheese, and Cole Slaw for LUNCH and I?m walking like a penguin but it was so worth it. Everythingwas so fire but the Fried Chicken Chicken was the G.O.A.T. Oh and we got the Apple Pie - hands down the best I?ve ever had.Super thinly sliced apple and a strudel-type crumble on top.
