Serving Southern-Style Sides

Our southern-style sides are a great way to round out any meal. Not only they are a delicious, comforting addition to the plate, but they also offer a lot of variety in their flavors and textures. Whether you’re seeking something sweet and savory, light and zesty, or hearty and filling – there’s something for everyone! Plus, adding a few southern-style sides to your meals will lend them an extra layer of nutritional value.

Expanding Grilled Menu with Healthier Options

Over the years, Mel’s distinguished itself from its competition, by expanding their grilled menu to include healthier options such as grilled salmon salad with its own signature ginger vinaigrette dressing and grilled fish wraps served with their delicious garlic dill sauce.

I love this joint. 40 year old business, classic black LA institution serving delicious fried and grilled fish, with additional healthier options if that's your interest. Good quality, fresh, amazing homemade garlic dill sauce, and friendly management who know how to treat their customers. Go here, get fed, no regrets.

Amazing, my kitchen away from home. We order grilled fish every week and have never been disappointed. The crab soup on Mondays is worth the trip; grilled catfish and salmon are favorites; medium crisp fried fish and whiting play well with summer meals and hush puppies with cole slaw on the side make my multi-generational family happy. Love the staff!

Visited on a Sunday evening and ordered fried catfish and shrimp combo with potato salad and collard greens. Added the peach cobbler for dessert. The food was perfectly fried and seasoned. Authentic southern taste. The people were really nice too. Will be back soon.
