America's Busies Poboys Shop according to INC Magazine. Also ranked by GQ Magazine as one of the most unusual restaurants in America. OPEN 24/7. Go where the locals go.
I never remeber to leave reviews, but this one has been on my mind for a while... Melba's on Tulane is hands down one of my favorite resturants on all of the Door Dash!
It's the most consistent, delightful, easy, insanely quick, uniquely NOLA comfort food ever, in my book. No matter the time of day or night, the quality remains unmatched. They've never messed up my order a single time, they send you an entirely full bag of stuffs (condiments, butter, syrup, utensils, napkins...), I mean, it's just the little touches like that, coupled with really shocking great food, a wide range of menu options, being open at the wild and crazy hours I finally decide to eat, and their excellent consistently prompt service that sets them apart. Oh and I guess it's worth noting that it's so reasonably priced for the massive amount of food they give you... like an -overflowing portions we eat on for 3 consecutive meals- kinda deal.
It feels as close to a home cooked meal made with love in your mom's New Orleans kitchen, more than anywhere similar.
Melba's on Tulane... obviously I really enjoy and highly recommend you.
Big Melba's fan over here... huge HUGE fan!

That burger was heaven in a box. Bread pudding amazing. Mac n cheese perfect seasoned. The tenders.... kinda had too much Tony's on them so they were wayy salty. But I'm not even taking away a star cause it's Melba's, and Melba's is sacred.

So first off the red beans smh how you mess these up ?No seasonings in them. The sausage that came on the side needed to be reboiled wasn't cooked all the way. The stuffed pepper tasted like mushy mystery meat. The hot sausage patty is what it is. The pecan pie had no pecans on top just the gel filling. When I tell you I am beyond disappointed never will I ever eat at this place again. A waste of $51 dollars, If rather eat a fish filet from Mcdonald's.

Absolutely DELICIOUS! Was warm when it arrived, sealed, and delivered quickly. Not overly seasoned but full of flavor, truly so well made. Melba's always gets it right. I hadn't had Shrimp & Grits in a very long time, and this was the best I've had in years.
