Great food! Came by Saturday for lunch and had about a 1 hour wait. But there's a lot up and down the strip to entertain yourself, and it was totally worth the wait.The bacon avocado Benedict was fantastic on Melanie's bread instead of an English muffin. Husband loved the Ruben. And mimosas were well made (more like how you make them at home!)All staff was very nice! Will absolutely come back!
Very good! I loved the mix-matched tables and chairs, cloth napkins, and kitschy mugs. The food was great and I loved the variety of vegetarian options. I had the pimento cheese grits and my husband had the eggs Benedict. My only regret was not getting the ginger-lemon tea. It had fresh chunks of ginger and lemons. Everything was super fresh and staff was attentive.
An easy Sunday morning breakfast while exploring the blue ridge mountains! On a whim, stopped here during an early morning drive and very happy with the choice. The food was light yet fulfilling. The pancakes were that perfect blend of crispy and soft goodness. Fresh eggs plus orange juice and my stomach was happy and ready for the day’s adventures!

This was delicious! We were on a girl's trip and decided to have breakfast at Melanie's and we were all so happy with our choice. First, the hostess was wonderful! We called ahead and even though we weren't going to make it out for about an hour she started a wait-list for us. She then made sure to save an outdoor and indoor table for us to choose from. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and the food! Oh my was it good. I ordered the fruit waffle and it was crispy yet soft. The stuffed french toast was awesome. Every one of us enjoyed it. We will def go here again next time we visit!
Food was delicious. I had the eggs benedict. Everything seemed fresh and well cooked. Seating is cramped, so that knocks the atmosphere down a bit for me since I'm a bigger dude. Server was good and checked on us several times.
