Po Melvin's - Irving

The drinks are great, but the food is even better! I will definitely return and make this a regular spot on my list. Highly recommended for anyone!

Oh my gosh! The food was delicious and the staff were really welcoming. We had chicken and dumplings, mango salsa grilled prawns appetizer, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, steamed cabbage, a sample of their beef with gravy. Wow! If we ever come back to the Dallas area, we already decided we are coming back to try more and I want that beef dish. Yum! I would love to rate 5 stars but the bathroom needs some TLC.

Good service but horrible food. I ordered Gumbo, Okra with roll. Gumbo was normal with barely any shrimps I Guess Shrimps are on Vacation) Rolls taste like sitting in the kitchen for few days. My tooth really ache after trying one of the rolls. Okra taste and looks like few days old Overall horrible food quality. I paid $20.00 including tips. Food worth is below $2.50 Gordon Ramsey, Please come and assist this below standard joint in our neighborhood.

Come with an appetite! Mel has deep roots in Cajun cooking, and his kitchen delivers the authentic flavors perfectly. You can’t go wrong with any dish, but my personal favorite is the chicken served with two sides of veggies. We always kick things off with the cornbread. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, and the service is deserving of five stars. After more than 20 years of dining here, we’ve always experienced excellent service—never a disappointment. We absolutely love this place!

The sides were average, and the sweet tea was good. The highlight of our meal was our server—she was very attentive and friendly. It’s not often you meet someone who genuinely enjoys their job, and I loved that for her. The atmosphere was what we expected, although the booth seats had some rather large holes in them. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.
