Melrose Bar and Grill

As a long time patron of Melrose Bar and Grill it has been a favorite of mine since they opened their doors. The cozy atmosphere and the friendly staff are just a wonderful added addition to their amazing menu. Along with the $5 Happy Hour, it’s a fantastic way to unwind at the end of the work day. Check it out, you’ll love it. more

i used to go to melrose bar and grill all the time but we had two terrible experiences back to back. first of all, my husband ordered a chicken dish and the bartender told him it was organic chicken. my husband later got sick (we haven't eaten unorganic meat in years) and called the manager. he said the chicken was never organic and when we told him what happened he said ""oh well, he was a new bartender"". we decided to give them one more try and came in to the bar again. the manager opened the window while we were having drinks and a patron outside was smoking and the smoke was filling the bar. we asked him to please close it and other patrons were unhappy too. his exact words were ""i can't"". we left immediately. i rather pay $20 a drink then ever go back again. Cons: rude, unaccomodating more

Melrose Bar and Grill is family owned which is appropriate because you are made to feel at home with its delicious entrees, desserts and a friendly staff. It's warm and relaxing atmosphere that just hits the spot to unwind after a days work. Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Friendly Staff, Affordable Cons: Parking more

Loving the lunch specials. My co-workers and I go to Melrose Bar and Grill twice sometimes three times a week for their lunch specials. Everything is always fresh and delicious. It's a friendly family neighborhood place to relax. more

What a terrible experience I had here. I brought friends from out of town- and was totally embarrassed that I did. The management was rude and didn't care about anything- the food is completely overpriced- a $15 burger does not even come with fries- you have to purchase them separately. The valet closed at 1030p and they said they would keep the cars overnight if we didn't get them!! And today I woke up feeling really sick from the food. AVOID this place!!! Pros: the close too early! Cons: Bad Parking, Aweful Service, Overpriced, Food made me sick more

We love to stop in during the day and just grab a quick snack, like the Pretzel & Sausage, it's my absolute fav! Pros: Tasty lunch snacks more

We just got back from lunch and enjoying their Happy Hour deals. I Love it! I Love it! I Love it! Pros: Everything more

We were regulars at the Melrose Bar & Grill. We loved the food, ambiance and the two sisters who were the hosts. We had not been there in a while and arrived and met the new host, Chris, who is also an owner. He is completely put out that patrons are showing up, expecting to eventually be seated and served. We arrived on Saturday evening and he refused to seat us or acknowledge us.We ate at the bar (we had no choice) because Chris wouldn't talk to us after we gave him our name. He did go around complaining about us to everyone within hearing range. Best of all, there were open tables but he never offered us a table (even though we asked) because ""we felt entitled to be seated"". We also heard him call a towing service to tow patrons cars and then he also called the city to ticket the restaurant patrons cars (and its $70 a ticket). Of course, he denied it all as numerous customers complained. If you are looking to be berated and insulted, Chris is your man. He doesn't want customers because none of us ""work as hard as he does or have his problems"". Change the host and Melrose Bar and Grill will be the great place it was when the sisters were in charge. It used to be one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. Pros: The food and atmosphere is great Cons: Nasty owner and host, Chris more

I wish i would have read the reviews before ever walking into this restaurant. This guy named Chris who apparently is the owner, was the one that yelled at me and my girlfriends. He told us that the wait is going to be 25 minutes when the restaurant was empty and we had a reservation. I explained that their are tables avaiable and he walked away and then a young lady was helping us. I wish we would have left but we dont know the area to well. This restaurant is terrible, the reviews speak for themselves. Please go somewhere else. Cons: Service/Host/Food more

Sounds like my terrible run in with the Host at this place is not the first. With reservations last Saturday night, we were disappointed to be taken to a table in a completely empty back part of the room, even though there were several open tables in the packed and lively front part of the restaurant. After initially asking if we could wait for another open table, it quickly escalated into some mysterios pissing match with this grumpy Host ultimately sarcastically referring one Latin member of my party as ""Amigo(!?) and threatening not to seat us at all. We left, vowing never to return, and ultimately had a WONDERFUL meal right around the corner a Il Picolino, showing up without reservations, but being treated with respect and dignity. Melrose Bar & Grill is badly run -- don't waste your money or your time. Cons: Too many to list here more

There was a birds feather in my salad. A BIRDS feather. It was the grossest experience i have ever had. I let the waitress know and she said sorry and walked away and didnt take it off my bill. This restaurant is horrible, please stay away. I cant believe how obnoxiously rude everyone is who works their. There are a ton of better restaurants in the area. Stay away for your own good. Pros: good location Cons: FILTHY KITCHEN- BAD SERVICE more

Oh my gosh, rude, rude, rude host. Or was this the pig of an owner? He showed absolutely no manners, scowling at eveyrone who came in. The music was SO LOUD that I couldn't even talk to my guest for two minutes. We walked out it was so bad. Pros: Nothing Cons: Everything more

This place is cute & charming, but the first thing I noticed was how bad the service was. I happended to fall upon this place with my girlfriend. Dont throw away your money, there are other choices out there, we should of gone to a fine dining restaurant. Waste of money. don't waste your time. We won't go again. It tasted as if they had opened a can of food and served it. Pros: Sorry, but nothing Cons: Overrated more

I went with my boyfriend to try this place out and it was a really bad experience. I love my steak so i decided to order the steak and it was overcooked and so so salty. My boyfriend ordered the fish and it was undercooked. We then decided to let the manager know and they said they do not take back any meals what so ever and that is their policy. This is the last i will ever eat at this crummy restaurant. i hope they go out of business. Pros: close to my house Cons: Terrible Food more

The moment i walked in this restaurant, a guy by the name of Chris was rude to us, i later found out he was the owner of the restaurant. The food took over 25 minutes and by the time we finally got it, it was COLD. if i am going to wait 25 minutes for food at least PLEASE bring it to our table hot. It was my birthday, this was very embarassing. I would NOT recommend this restaurant. Go to Cecconis for the same price Pros: Nice interior Cons: service and cold food, yuck more

My partner and I just moved into the area and found this place walking our kids ( I mean Dogs LOL). Anyway, we love this place, it's super casual but you can go in either gym clothes/sweats, or your saturday night club ensemble and have a great , high quality meal no matter what your wearing. Pizzas are a must , but I'm hoping they add a veggie pizza. Go with the sausage & rstd pepper one...it's FABULOUS. My hubby loves the duck burger and we hitt them it up for great happy hour specials with $5 appetizers. They have some email blast that offers specials that the owner told us about. There's also never a shortage of hotties as the clubs are all right up the street. Pros: Happy Hour Deals Cons: None (but would Love a Veggie Pizza if your listening) more

I was about to write to a nice review for this restaurant and then noticed these two outrageously unfavorable reviews. Went there on Saturday night and had a great meal with outstanding service, and not my first time. While I was waiting for my car, a group of obnoxious teenagers stole their keys from the valet stand and ran away to their cars. It became clear, moments later when the manager came out, that they had also run out on their dinner bill. I have some suspicion that these are the same kids that wrote these bad reviews.\r \r The bottom line is this is a great restaurant and should be patronized often. I have had consistently good meals here. And the wait staff is always kind and attentive . Don't be fooled by these people. The owners take great care of their restaurant and their patrons. I am a stickler for good food and good service; this restaurant has both. Pros: Wonderful service, good food, relaxed atmosphere more

The absolute worst service ever! The owner is a total pig who somehow believes that he is the only person in the world who knows how to prepare food. I feel sorry for the people that work for this guy. Everything was fine until they wouldn't take back a salad that was untouched and we didn't want. All they knew how to say was NO and this turned into the owner telling us to get the F out. The service and the people who work there including the owner are complete JERKS. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!!!! Cons: OWNER IS HORRIBLE- THEY SAY NO TO EVERYTHING more

A friend turned me on to this place for the great happy hour deals. You can basically go and have 2 drinks and be stuffed for a mere 20 bucks between 4 and 7 pm. We had 3 apps. One was 5 mini cheeseburgers, another was a great quesadilla and finally spring rolls which were my personal favorite. Tap beers were only 3 bucks and martinin's or any well drink were 5 bucks. We left full and with a buzz for only $20 each and the crowd was mixed (both straight & gay) , great looking and young. Pros: Fun Hip Crowd Cons: Not open Sunday more

The absolute worst service ever! The owner is a total prig who somehow believes that he is the only person in the world who knows how to prepare food. Don?t even think about asking for any type of variation?such as grilled onions on a burger?because he will come out and tell you that he wont do it nor does he need to explain why he wont do it. \r \r This type of behavior could be explained if his dishes were complex?but when you are serving simple basic food?then its pure snobbery. I feel sorry for the people that work for this guy. Pros: The food is good Cons: The environment is horrible--not because of the place itself--but the attitude of the owner more
