Very good food and great service!…read more My daughter and I had lunch here a few days ago and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Cheeseburger and my daughter ordered the Cherry Street Burger. They make them to order so we asked for them to be smashed. They were awesome! My daughter ordered the fries and I ordered the onion rings so that we could share both. Both were also good. The service was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stop in again soon.

My son and I were in Peebles for the morning so we stopped in for breakfast. It was around 10am…read moreand there were only a few people eating when we arrived. The young woman who served us was friendly, took our orders, and a short while later returned with our meals. I had pancakes, eggs and sausage while my son had biscuits and gravy. The pancakes were huge and tasted great. I could only eat about half my breakfast. My son enjoyed his breakfast as well. Several times throughout our visit our server checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. As we ate, more people started to arrive and filled in the dining room. At one point our server went out the door in order to help an elderly gentleman with a walker navigate the ramp and door. This is everything that a small town diner should be. I look forward to a return visit when I find myself in the area again.

Let me start off by saying that I LOVE small businesses and I LOVEEEE diners and cafes. They're all…read moredifferent and it's just nice to go into a small town restaurant! Me, my one year old son, my father and my husband came to grab lunch at Mel's after a nice day out. I am biracial (black and white) and my husband and father are Caucasian. The moment I walked in, all eyes were on me. We had no greeting which was the least of my problems. We sat at the table near the door. Once we sat down, we were handed menus but not a word was mentioned to us as our waitress spoke with another gentleman she just handed a menu to. I kept using my manners and being respectful to our waitress but she NOT ONCE made eye contact with me or said a single word to me. Only spoke to my husband an father. To the point where she handed us TWO SEPARATE CHECKS BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO TALK TO US LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW WE WERE ON THE SAME TAB! While we were ordering my husband and I heard someone say "I didn't know we served people like that here" and "well we're all republican here." Now I know they cannot manage conversations that are happening while people are enjoying their food but it still made me feel VERY uncomfortable. Our food was okay. I got fish and chips which were pretty bland. No seasoning at all. My husband got BLT wraps and he said they were actually pretty good! My father had the meatloaf and he rated it 8/10. My son had the mini corn dogs and he seemed to like them. Pricing was really decent other than the fact that when we asked for ranch she brought over packets of ranch and failed to ask how much we wanted and also failed to mention there was an extra charge. I will not be returning. I felt discriminated against and that the service was horrible. Your food is not good enough to make up for your bad service.

The menu was nice and diverse, something for everyone. Two of use got the Thursday special, meatloaf and the other two, fried chicken. The meatloaf was spot on good. I ordered mashed potatoes/gravy, and cabbage/green as sides. The potatoes were good but the gravy could have been seasoned a bit more, but still good. The cabbage and greens were very tasty with a good smokiness from bacon. A little bit of acidity would have put this over the top, and again, still very good. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly with a nice coating, not greasy at all. The staff were great and the restaurant itself was simple but nice and clean. Prices were fair. I highly recommend stopping at this humble little restaurant for some good home cooking.

Good food and great service!…read more We had lunch here last weekend and we enjoyed our meals. We both ordered the Hand Breaded Fish Dinner for our lunch. It's served with two sides. I chose the Coleslaw and Hash Brown Casserole. My husband chose the Onion Rings (for a small up-charge) and Green Beans. Everything was very good - except the hash brown casserole. I may have been expecting something different. It was mushy and gooey. The fish was fried perfectly and tasted very good. The onion rings were great and my husband enjoyed the green beans. Also, I thought the coleslaw was quite good. Sweet without being cloyingly so. The service was awesome! Friendly and quick. Especially for how busy it was. We had a bit of a wait at the door for a table but it was a nice day and we didn't mind.

The ranch dressing was good and the onion petals were delicious. My husband had a mushroom burger and French fries. He said it was outstanding. Fresh hamburger. It was not a frozen patty. The French fries were not frozen...they were good too. I had a side salad. It was fresh...no brown lettuce. I had a fried chicken breast....again not frozen and freshly battered. The food is outstanding and did not disappoint This is a seasonal restaurant and closes in October. We are going back before they close to try the pizza. We enjoyed dining outside by the Ohio Riverm There is seating inside as well. Everything was clean. You can pull a boat up to the dock and buy fuel. There is plenty of parking for cars. Everything was perfect. If you are in Ripley during season I highly recommend stopping by here to eat. Food is reasonably priced. Everything was clean. I wish I could give more than 5 Stars.

This little place was awesome!…read more We stopped in for lunch recently while out running errands. We ordered the Battered Mushrooms appetizer and both of us ordered the Catfish meal. Both with green beans and coleslaw. It comes with hush puppies, also. The battered mushrooms were ok. My husband enjoyed them more than me but they were ok. The catfish was really good! Fried perfectly and the thin breading with good flavor. I'd order it again. The service was quick and friendly. We'll stop in again.
