The menu is full of classic, comfort style dishes that will make you feel at home. Or server was a true southern belle with all the charm and kindness you would expect. I had a burger and it was delicious. This thing was MASSIVE and cooked to a perfect medium well as I had requested. The fries were also pretty good. They could have used a bit more seasoning but there was salt on the table!

Down in Rome this past weekend and decided to get into the Harvest Moon, as I had never been…read more Asking my girlfriend how it was, she just answered "okay". I now agree with her. This is a Southern Restaurant in a southern town. So I opted for a Shepherd's Pie from the St Paddy's Day menu. Yeah, go figure. It was rather bland. When I make this dish, I use ample cream in the potatoes (Irish style) and make a thicker, more moist pie, with a good deal of tomato in it. This was a bland substitute. Far better the next day when I added in enough butter to make the potatoes shine. I will give props for using lamb on this. She had the salmon patties. Fairly simple, also rather bland. Mashed potatoes as well. Breading on the okra was fine. Staff? Very friendly waiter. Answered all the questions and even described the drinks. As this has a good craft beer selection, I opted for one I had not had before and she got a smokey old fashioned. The old fasthioned did not have the cherries or orange peel you would normally see, but was rather strong and did use a rye whiskey. I would not go there for the drink, but reasonably priced. The ambiance is great. Typical of Rome, GA establishments, you can feel the history. They also have a rooftop bar and a separate bar area, for those seeking out a drink or two. Summary: The experience was good, but the food was bland. If you like to heavily salt your food, this might not be as big of a deal. On the whole, 3 stars, for average. Compared to other places in Rome, some of which are really bad, you would prefer this to many places. Nothing really bad to say, but nothing really good. Just average.

The burnt ends tray was delicious. Sauce is on point. The food just speaks for itself. They make homemade strawberry jam cheesecake fried pie. If I had time I would have sat around till I was hungry again and tried everything else. It's a nouveau riche style dining inside and out. The staff are super helpful and friendly. They are very accommodating and informative. We had the best time. It is a little pricey but it's worth the money. I had 5 kids with me and they loved it. One of my kids has autism and it was good enough for him.

The new restaurant recently opened on Broad St. We have dined there three times over the past two…read moremonths and it had been a memorable meal each time. On the first visit, I had the red snapper and my wife had the shrimp and we both had the house salad. Everything was excellent. The fish was grilled to perfection and the shrimp wasn't the slightest bit greasy. If you are not starving I would recommend that you only get the half salad option since it is more than enough. I can't imagine how much the full salad would be. The champagne dressing was very tasty. On our second visit I started the evening with a Mel's Martini and it was the perfect kickoff to another great meal. Our most recent experience was this past week at what will be their monthly wine dinners. The theme for this dinner was Italian. There were six courses in total with a corresponding wine served with each course. Everything was delicious and was way more food than I could finish. This is a small restaurant and is just starting up so the menu is a bit limited but there should be something everyone could enjoy from the southern fried Cornish hen, steak, seafood, and pork chop. On our first visit we did notice a few couples take their seats, look at the menu and decide to leave. I really can't understand why that happened. Their menu is available online so it is pretty clear what they have to offer as well as their prices. The prices are reasonable and inline with what you would expect. The 98% of us that remained all received excellent service and meal experiences. They suffer the same problems with staffing as everyone else seems to be going through in recovering from the pandemic, but the staff is very attentive and we never experienced any delays in service. The wine dinner really put the staff to the test since almost every chair in the place was occupied. They did an excellent job in both serving and clearing the tables so everyone seemed to enjoy a perfect dining experience. If you are looking for a special evening out or just want to enjoy a great dining experience, make sure to give Melinda's a try.

Service needs improvement and they fries are greasy and not potato flavored. Don't see any reason to return.

Great place to hang out with friends, eat decent food, watch sporting events, and drink cold beer…read more The menu is not the most expansive I've seen in similar establishments but offers enough variety to not go home unsatisfied. The portions are huge. The waitresses can be very friendly once they come to take your order. Before that, they won't even acknowledge even if you're sitting in their section. The several times I've gone there, no hostess was on duty. I'm assuming the hostess stand is manned by whichever waitress is not busy at the time you enter? The pretzel bites appetizer is a must-have. This is a great place to go after a long day at work when you don't want to cook and just want to eat some comfort food, drink something cold, and unwind.

Not near as good as it used to be or, as I remember it being in the past and way overpriced. Last trip to the gravy boat.

We stopped by for dinner based on alleged reviews. I ordered the hamburger steak and my wife…read moreordered pulled pork, with two waters. The hamburger steak was dry and hard, and the pulled pork mushy with hard end pieces (like leftover with new sauce added). The food was bad enough, then I saw the bill and they charged us $1.00 for two waters. Thought I was done when the clerk asked me cash or charge, and I handed him my credit card, signed and thanked him after getting my receipt. The receipt was more than what was on the check so I asked the clerk if he made a mistake and he said no, we charge a fee for paying with credit cards: however, the clerk never mentioned this when he asked me cash or card. Don't you think he should have told me as much?! No worries, definitely will not be back!!! Like a lot of the alleged 10/10 cabins, we are finding that their reviews have to have been written by friends or family, this place is one of them. Just saying!

I had the Downtown BLT (and they accommodated my request to substitute the Kaiser bun with the croissant) with a side of fries. The sandwich ingredients were quality, but (and this is just my personal taste), they didn't synergize the way I expected. The fried green tomatoes had an excellent coating and perfectly cooked and the bacon was nice and crispy, I liked the sauce on they used, and the croissant was nice and soft. The fries were a bit under cooked and limp and dense instead of light and crispy. I also had the Chilly Willy Dog and the footlong was tasty except for the bun which was dry.
