I tried Melrose Kitchen for breakfast on a Saturday. They were busy, which I took as a good sign.
I ordered the country fried steak and eggs. The country fried steak was good. The menu advertised it as coming with sausage gravy but I'd never know. It tasted like basic white gravy. The eggs were ok, although a little more cooked than I preferred for over medium. But the hash browns were not my favorite. They looked good. Crisp and golden brown, but they tasted like reconstituted dehydrated potatoes. That was disappointing since I love hash browns.
The coffee was excellent and only $1. The whole menu is relatively cheap. On the bad side, the hash browns tasted like they came from a Waffle House.
Not a bad little place. But I really wished they'd use fresh potatoes.
