Simple review:
Steak was absolutely delicious and flavorful
The thickness of the steak was perfect and easy to cut
The steak had a little toughness to it and a bit chewy in spots
Nice thin crispy perfectly light golden brown breading on steak (very very flavorful)
Gravy was perfect( excellent taste and consistency) definitely homemade
Definitely hand breaded and wasn’t frozen
The onion rings and homemade ranch dressing is to die for
The size and portion was awesome size for lunch and had enough left over for two more meals
The price was 12.99 and was an awesome deal that included 2 sides and 2 types of bread( cornbread and rolls)
EXTRA POINTS:
Loved the size and atmosphere of this place, kind,efficient and friendly
Very friendly and attentive staff
The place is actual very inviting and homey,very packed (you cam tell its regular customers that eat here) the regular small town feel
I would go back to try other things on the menu,(the LARGE hamburger is a definitely must try next time
Overall Rating 7.5 out of 10

Im a southerner living in NS for awhile. (My husband's in the hospital for over 2 years now❤️) No good food up here, at least not the kind I'm used to, so i come to your channel and eat vicariously through you. 😊 Thank you, Chef, Jeffrey!

Cath, I bet Chef Jeffrey has a pretty mean CFS recipe. Maybe he will share?? We live very close to Mel's but I made a huge mistake. I pan fried, at home, Emeril's CFS recipe and now he won't eat any other. Need to get to Mel's pretty soon since they have opened back up. Need some of their Chicken and Dumplins and greens!!! Sending a prayer up for your hubs.
Good morning Chef Jeffery, the early bird catches the worm. Early morning mañna. Got to go just watch and see Elder Jeffery, luv you in the Lord.❤❤❤😊.

Good morning Chef. I always love your chicken fried steak road trips. It’s amazing they were able to save the tin roof. Those onion rings look delicious.Your chicken fried steak plate looks delicious.That lemon meringue pie looks delicious. I like the nostalgia of the place.Thank you for sharing your review.Have a blessed and wonderful Wednesday Chef.❤

As always Chef Jeffrey, I enjoyed your chicken fried steak review. I love the ride along and your attention to detail. Thank you and be blessed!
Ohh' My that looks so Beautiful and Delicious ❤
Thank you Chef 🙏🏼🥰🙏🏼
Been going to Mel's at least 15 years as it's 25 minutes from my house. The line is out the door on Friday evening for the AYCE catfish and popcorn shrimp. I've visited once since the rebuild. I think they've changed the fish product to swai. I'll have to get the CFS the next time.
Chef Jeffery you r such a positive person I have learned a lot from you I enjoy watching you cook keep doing what you’re doing
That looks so good. Oh my goodness! Nice fluffy dinner rolls in a corn and also onion rings! Enjoy your dinner chef I know it’s good!
My brother, your food went cold during your commentaries! Dig in already!! Lol!
Looks delicious on the thumbnail, onion rings look great too!
Good Morning Chef Jeffrey have a wonderful day and safe travels
That was funny about the ticket hope the food was great hope you enjoyed your trip blessings and abundance
I saw okra and tomatoes on the menu. Guess what I bought for my vegetables tonight for dinner? Okra and tomatoes.😂
Good morning Chef Jeffery. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Good morning Chef Jeffery thank you for the road trip love you 🥰♥️
Yeah I've eaten at Mel's several times and the food in my opinion is some of the best country cooking I've had next to home cooking. I give it 9 out of 10🤘🏾
That's my kind of comfort food 😊 Have a wonderful day, Chef Jeffrey.
I'd have to be running miles, if I had the appetite and ate like you 😆
I love some Mel's ❤❤❤
🤗 GOOD MAWNING CHEF JEFFREY 🤗😋😋😋😋😋
Good Morning , Chef Jeffrey . Thanks for taking us along . On your journey to Mel's Cafe . All the food looked delicious . Happy Fourth Of July .🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
Yummy 😋
Good Morning 🌞 Chef Jeffery Have a bless Day and safe 4 of July.✌🏾✌🏾 enjoy your food.
I didn't notice the inspection sticker until you said something but that happened to me a couple of months ago and i didn't think about it until the police got behind me and it was laying there in the passenger side seat. I don't normally let them get behind me because i've had a bad experience with one. If they get behind me i'm turning off on the next turn i don't care if it's a cemetery. But that chicken fried steak looked really good to me but i wasn't eating it so i was eating with my eyes which is how most people do. I still would try it.
lol you were right by the house chef lol hell I would have bought that one
Great video Chef! My wife and I have been to Mel’s and we agree this place is awesome! May I suggest you try Vernon’s Kuntry Katfish in Conroe the next time you hit the road. Guaranteed you’ll like it as well! I’m not affiliated with them, just a casual place my wife and I like to visit if you’re ever in the mood for catfish.
Hello Chef.
I used to live in that area and I've never heard of that restaurant. I wish I would've known to try it.
Road trip!
Good morning chef Jeffrey thank you for the road trip i enjoyed
❤😊
I used to live in Tomball back in the day and my sister lives there now. We have been to Mel’s many times. It’s fun when you go in groups but I still love Hickory Hollow in Houston. Their only location is on Fallbrook St., they used to have one in the Heights but it closed. The Fallbrook location was next to another hidden gem called The Carriage House Cafe and they had good chicken fried steak too, but sadly they closed. The atmosphere of Carriage House Cafe was so charming and you would have loved it, Chef Jeffrey. I am happy to see you visit a spot that was a part of my early adulthood and is still in my family’s restaurant rotation.
Great country fried steak series.❤ Will you be doing a video for the top five restaurants for chicken fried steak.

Morning blessings everyone, Chef Jeff some of the best food comes out of those lil holes in the wall spots ,thanks for sharing ❤
Good morning , thank you for the road trip .
I haven't been there since they reopened, but I would have told you to go for the catfish and chocolate pie. It's worth the drive. At least it used to be.
Good Show, I Love H-Town / Houston, TEXAS.
