Mel's Riverside Grill - Rogersville

Family dinner for Mother's Day. It was very nice. Food was excellent! Kind staff! Family friendly atmosphere! Everyone enjoyed it!

So kind. So nice. I brought my service dog. We had beers. Boneless wings delicious. Everyone was so kind.

ALWAYS has been ever time I been their good service an friendly.

We ALMOST walked out.. but doing restaurants 20+ years.. sometimes it gets busy... Waited about 10 minutes till a server could greet us... 3 whiney kids, it late in kids time... oh it was close.. however, in the nick of time.. she arrived.. and perfect service the entire time... However... And I can't stress this enough..This place his a hidden hole in the wall, we found just by driving by not from around here and W.T.H. what I experienced, I still don't believe.. all the food looked appealing.. but in the bottom corner is this Chief Burger.. kinda hidden and I usually don't do burgers.. but the description looked tempting.. so why not..That KITCHEN is lit... Like the food came out in NO TIME... The burger looked perfect.. picked it up took a bite... And... how do I do it justice...If a hamburger was sold in heaven.. this is that burger..As you eat this burger you taste bun, ranch,lettuce, tomato, fried pickle, BBQ sauce, fried onion ring, patty, white American cheese, patty, bun..And it's a perfect blend.. each ingredient you taste, nothing overpowers anything and the hand pressed patty is star.. it's not greasy.. there is nothing over compensating because this burger is perfect.. I know unless I return to here, I will NEVER have a burger that perfect again.. and I heard it was created by the culinary department at the high school nearby... But I will admit.. it was recreated by some cooks who take pride in it..If you are the owner.. don't read this next part:This burger is WAY underpriced.. $13.99, I would pay $20 for it every time.Okay owner.. keep reading..I did the buffalo tots.. get them.. just do it.. crispy tots, melted cheese.. then ranch and buffalo sauce.. on top.. but because it was done in this way.. the tots didn't get soggy.. first to and last tot.. just a crispy.. I could live off these... Pay that $1 and go premium side..So glad I didn't walk out.. it was well worth the wait.. I would do it ALL over again..

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent music on Saturday evenings with Six String Sundown! Mel is the best waitress ever! She is always on her toes, very friendly and helpful, each time from the first day she was super friendly to us and made us welcome that place like a friendly neighborhood hangout where everyone knows your name and we can always wait until the next time we come back:
