We stopped at Melba’s Place on our way to Nola and thought it was a great choice!! The shrimp chili appetizer was great, thoroughly enjoyed the crab claws too. Shrimp PoBoy was good. Great service. Thank you!!

I spent almost every night that I was in town at this establishment. Great food, amazing staff, and reasonably priced. They also have a special menu or specials to keep it interesting.

Come to Brookhaven quite frequently.Have eaten at all of the beaten path restaurants. Decided to do a search for "the best burgers in Brookhaven."Melba' Place was one in the listings.The unique place is not on the main strips. I ordered the Shack burger and fries.It was the best burger I have had in a long time.It is one of those burgers that we with mustaches, or guys with besrds, get burger all in our facial hair. Gals with long hair not tied back, get it in their locks.Its one those hugh, sloppy burgers that the patty upstages the bun.I got bacon and grilled onions, which are add-ons, and yes at an additional cost.Well worth the money. One of my pet peeves is a resturaunt that reduces the amount and quality of their product to make their servings more affordable.I can understand that principle, yet do not agree.If you have a good product, people will pay the extra for quality and leave the restaurant fulfilled.I went in to dine at about lunch time.There were about 20 diners seated.Just one waitress and one cook in the kitchen. Within 15 mins, I received my order. To me, thats prompt service.For those that like beer wirh their meal, Melba's has a good selection of name brand beer and some I did not recognize. I chose to sit at the bar so as not to take up table space, I had good un-sweet tea, not much of a beer drinker.The atmosphere is new, clean, quiet.The diners? White collar, blue collar, and retired. Of race, an assortment.For years, I have tried my best to give a review of any place I dine.I have never given a 5 star review for all 3.Great work Melba'a

I am so glad that my grandmother and me stopped by here for the first time this evening. The atmosphere was peaceful and the food was delicious. The seafood was absolutely wonderful, and the quality was grand! I wish there was one of these restaurants at home! We also brought home some dessert, because we were so full! Definitely will come back!

Great food and plenty , best seafood in the area . Yes it's pricey but was worth it . I haven't had fried oysters in years bcoz many places don't cook them good. But tonight I got the seafood platter that come with oysters, shrimp and catfish. The oysters were soo good I couldn't stop eating them to even try the rest of the food . But it was all great , 12 oysters, 10 big shrimp and 2 catfish, hushpuppies and fries on the platter . Couldn't eat it all , was so much food . I'll definitely eat here again.
