Our waitress was extremely friendly and made sure that we had what we needed. The restaurant was very clean and organized. Even the cook checked to see how we were doing. The food was definitely worth the price and customer service was great. I would give 10 stars if I could. Shays will be my restaurant whenever I am in Louisiana.

What I received were soggy, cold fries and room temperature chicken tenders on a literal hotdog bun. My wife, who's from the area and had raved about how good Mel's was when she was younger was equally disappointed at her room temperature chicken tenders and soggy, cold fries. When we visit Winnsbori, we'll stay far away from Mel's.

This became confirmed after many people came to take our orders, deliver our meals, and check on us. Google says they opened at 4pm, and we came in time for the Buffet; but the Buffet didn't start until 5, and there was no mention of that on Google or their Facebook post for the Buffet. Our choice was to wait almost an hour, or order from the menu, which we did. I heard from reviews how good the Fried Broccoli was and we started our meal with that. I feel like our meals of fried fish, shrimp with sides of french fries, fried okra, fried onion rings, and slaw took longer than needed to prepare because they were cooking for the Buffet. The Fried Broccoli IS NOT TO BE MISSED. It was surprisingly delicious with a well coated batter. The fish and shrimp were delicious as well. The food with the exception of the fries were thoroughly seasoned, not just salted. I don't remember seeing any dessert options on the menu, a lemon, cherry, or blackberry pie would have been a welcome addition. We were well taken care of by an attentive staff. The business was clean and well maintained.

My husband said they may have been the best oysters he's ever had and he's tried them all over the country. I had the shrimp tacos and my son had the blackened fish tacos - portions were very good and he said his was great. Blackened seasoning wasn't overly salty. Service was great. Super laid back, casual atmosphere. We'd definitely go back if we are in town again.
