Best onion rings in the lowcountry. Sweet potato soufflé, barbecue chicken, and macaroni &cheese are also superlative quality. 🙌

I used to eat meat but when I did I loved the cheeseburger! But the onion rings are to die for

I admire the fact that Melvins gives their employees Sunday off, but they serve up some very mediocre BBQ - mustard sauces aside. It's fast food, so it's to be expected I guess.

I know it's a BBQ place, but the burgers are second to none!
