I've been going to Melitos from the day they opened in 1981. Always felt at home like I was part of the family. The staff always welcomes me and I consider them as friends. They know about my eating disorders and always accommodate me. I love the food, more importantly I truly love the people. Sunday mimosas and bloodymarys... see ya there

Love Melito's! Been awhile since I've been there. Great to be back. Wish the peanut butter pie would come back.

Lunch experience was overall great. Promptly seated, fast and friendly service. Waitress frequently made sure everything was up to par. Straight forward menu and ordering process. Food didn’t take long to come out and was overall excellent. Highly recommended.

Wow! What incredible food. Everything is from scratch, and delicious. My kids live the ice cream. Love that the owner is active in the community with the Freedom Flag Foundation.

One of my regular dinner spots--good food that the owners could easily get away with selling at a higher price, but they don't so it's a fantastic deal! The mashed potatoes and fries are some of the best out there. Steaks and burgers are great options for entrees, and the brownie-ice cream desert option is also great.

Great food and service. Sailor sandwich was the best I've had.
