  • Come for the fried chicken, but stay for the dessert! Melly Mel's may be hard to find, but it's soooooo worth the effort. Once you locate the poorly marked entrance and descend a long flight of stairs covered with threadworm grey carpet, the welcoming aromas of the kitchen will guide you the rest of the way. Despite the unassuming exterior, the interior of the basement restaurant is spacious, clean and well lighted. The eclectic décor and mismatched tables and chairs create a homey vibe for those who venture in. The highlight of any trip to Melly Mel's is when owner / chef Carmell "Mell" Jackson pays a visit to your table. Even if you're in the sourest of moods when you enter the restaurants, your conversation with the effervescent Mell will brighten your day. What you need to know: * The fried chicken is the star attraction at Melly Mels. The meat is juicy and far more delectable than any $7 plate of chicken has any right to be. The coating is has a wonderful crunch, not greasy at all. Best of all, it is served piping hot - there are no heat lamps at Melly Mel's - everything is made to order. With a little hot sauce sprinkled on top, eating this fried chicken was a near life-altering event... * There is an extensive breakfast menu. It has the usual fare (eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, etc.) as well as chicken and waffles. * The lunch deals are a fantastic bargain. For $7, you get a generous main course, two sides and a drink. * The sides were hit or miss for me. I loved the cornbread muffin and the fried potatoes and onions. The black-eyed peas and rice & gravy not so much. The yams and the mac and cheese ordered by my dining companions looked promising. * If you are looking for a quick meal, this is not the place to go. Because of the made to order nature of the food and the volume of carry out orders, give yourself a good hour and a half for lunch. My last piece of advice: DO NOT LEAVE UNTIL YOU ORDER DESSERT. I love, love, love, love, love, love the desserts at Melly Mells. On my first visit, I had the strawberry cake with a smooth cream cheese frosting. My second visit featured a lemon pound cake. Both were out of the oven fresh and both were Oh.So.Delicious. 'nuf said. Just get the dessert, trust me.
