Do not park in the parking lot if you don’t want to get out. That was our mistake. Do the drive thru. Took us about 15 minutes to get out.
Food wasn’t as great as expected. The hush puppies weren’t cooked all the way, they forgot the person I was with bacon on her burger. My chicken sandwich was okay. The fries was the best part. Tons of flavor! Did appreciate all the sauces but wish more bbq flavors to choose from for sauces

Now this is old school Southern Barbecue family style. We need places like this and I am glad to have tried it. Simple good food at good prices with great service.

Stopped here for lunch for the first time with a large group after hearing great things about it. Even with our big party, we had no trouble getting seated — the restaurant is spacious, clean, and even has a side area for private dining.
I ordered the patty melt with potato salad. The burger was fantastic, loaded with caramelized onions and mustard, and the potato salad was solid — though after tasting my girlfriend’s mac n cheese, I definitely had some envy.
My girlfriend, who’s eaten here many times, went with her usual: a half rack of ribs with mac n cheese and fries. She loves these ribs. Any time we’re not here, she’s talking about them (and craving that golden BBQ sauce). Pro tip: don’t skip the mac — it’s unbelievably good.
We also shared some onion rings, which were huge, lightly battered, and perfectly crispy.
The golden BBQ sauce is a tangy vinegar-based sauce that’s perfect for drenching your BBQ. The Alabama white sauce was another hit, great for dipping fries and onion rings. They have a self-serve sauce bar that was clean and well stocked, so you can help yourself.
All in all, this will absolutely be a guaranteed stop any time we’re in town.

Melvin’s was the right choice for us. Loved the atmosphere, the service was great, the food was delicious, and the portion sizes were actually good for the price. Especially loved the onion rings and bbq with the Alabama sauce!

The food is the best BBQ we’ve had to date and we’ve had a lot of different kinds of BBQ over the years!! We had their sliced Brisket (lean), Pulled Pork, Smoked Turkey, Pulled Chicken for meats. For the sides we had the Butter Beans, White Rice, Sweet Potato Souffle, Baked Beans, Collard Greens, Hush Puppies and Banana Pudding. All of the meats were moist, very tasty and they don’t give you too much of anything, which is great for us! All of the food was outstanding and the staff is so nice. There is parking but it can get a little hairy trying to get in and out but not a show stopper. They have a drive-thru and you can also order inside and take it home or there is mobile ordering. You wait in line to order and then go sit down if you’re dining in, they’ll call your name and bring you your food. You’ll need to throw your trash out. So, if you’re in Mt. Pleasant, SC and you love BBQ, you definitely need to go!!

We were in town for a medical visit and decided to try something new during our overnight stay in Charleston/Mt. Pleasant. After checking reviews, we landed on Melvin’s, hoping for top-tier brisket and mac & cheese.
Upon entering, it was obvious we were first-time visitors confused and scanning the large menu but no one acknowledged us or offered help. It felt like we were left to figure things out on our own, which set a poor tone.
My husband ordered the brisket grilled cheese with a side of mac & cheese. I went with the patty melt and onion rings, with plans to sample each other’s meals.
The food, unfortunately, didn’t measure up. My husband said the mac & cheese was dry and flavorless. The brisket sandwich needed more cheese and was just average, definitely not memorable. As for my patty melt, the burger itself seemed well-seasoned, but the sandwich overall just wasn’t giving “patty melt.” The bread was dry, and I even tried to salvage it with BBQ sauce, wasn’t a good save. The onion rings were massive with a good crunch and tasty batter.
The real standout? The Southern Sweet Tea. That was the only thing we’d come back for.
We paid $38 for two meals, which felt unreasonably high for what turned out to be a letdown. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

The food was great but I was sorry that they ran out of barbecue ribs. My cousin told me they were the best tasting ribs for her.

This place has a solid reputation of flavor and freshness, they did deliver all of the hype. The chicken wings were well seasoned & tender. Okra, Mac and cheese, brisket and ribs were delicious. Great choice if you’re hungry! The only thing about these places is they run out of certain things toward the end of the day. Next time we will try the banana pudding and potato salad.

First time visit to Charleston & Melvin’s. Turkey was very moist and flavorful. Also had the pulled pork it was also very good. Great selection of side, all very good in preparation and size. Service was also excellent.
We’ll be around a couple more days, I think I’ll check out some other offerings.

We picked up a couple of pounds of pulled pork with the Mac and cheese, and hush puppies. We ordered potato salad but they were out so we got the hush puppies. We ordered ahead and after a ten minute drive everything was cold except for the fresh hush puppies. There wasn’t much of a line on a Saturday, so I wouldn’t recommend ordering ahead of time. Mac was ok, a little dry. The pork was what we were there for and it was delicious. The golden and spicy golden bbq sauces were really good. They forgot the red sauce in the order. If I returned I would just dine in so I could guarantee it was hot.
