Mel's Riverside Grill - Rogersville

We had a lovely family dinner for Mother's Day. The food was outstanding, and the staff were very welcoming. The atmosphere was perfect for families! Everyone had a great time!

Now, let me emphasize this: this place is a hidden gem that we stumbled upon while driving by. I still can't believe what I experienced. Everything on the menu looked great, but tucked away in the corner was the Chief Burger. Normally, I don’t go for burgers, but the description was too tempting to resist. Let me tell you, the kitchen is on fire! Our food came out in no time. The burger looked perfect when it arrived. I picked it up, took a bite, and it was heavenly. If there were a burger served in heaven, this would be it. With each mouthful, you could taste the bun, ranch, lettuce, tomato, fried pickles, BBQ sauce, fried onion rings, and the hand-pressed patty—all of it balanced perfectly. Nothing overpowers the other; it’s not greasy, and it’s simply perfect. I know that unless I come back here, I’ll never have a burger this good again. I even heard it was developed by the culinary department from the nearby high school, and I must say, it was executed flawlessly by the cooks who clearly take pride in their work. Now, if you’re the owner, you might want to skip this next bit: this burger is WAY underpriced at $13.99; I’d gladly pay $20 for it every single time. Okay, owner, you can continue reading—I also tried the buffalo tots, and you absolutely need to order them. They were crispy with melted cheese, drizzled with ranch and buffalo sauce. Thanks to how they were made, the tots stayed crispy from the first to the last bite; I could live off these. Definitely splurge that extra dollar for the premium side. I’m so glad we didn’t walk out because it was well worth the wait. I would do it ALL over again!

So kind. So nice. I brought my service dog. We had beers. Boneless wings delicious. Everyone was so kind.

I've always had good service and friendly staff every time I've visited.

Everything is amazing!!! Had the patty melt best I had!!!! Service is great everyone is so happy and nice. If you're here, they treat you like family. My favorite place to eat in Rogersville.
