Reviews of Melina's Family Restaurant (Catering)

Aaron Wile

Great place to go for breakfast in Port Colborne. Friendly staff and decent prices.

Samantha Menagh

Loved this place! Great food, portions and price. And even better than that is the service! Legit next level. Well maintained and clean as well. Will be back many many more times!

Carolyn Wells

Food was ok, service was Okay. Waited 10 min before we were brought a menu. The table they put us at was under the air conditioning and it was leaking all over the table, even though no one sat near the wall at that side it was splashing when it hit the table and we were still getting wet. The waitress new it was leaking and still At us at that table. They were not busy and there was lots of other tables we could have been sat. Also the spice they put on the hashbrown according to my daughter and husband they didn't like, so couldn't eat them. We also spoke to the waitress about it and her response was well you could have asked to not have spices put on. The price of the meal was very reasonable.

Cam McIntyre

Food was very filling and decent. Staff was very friendly and amazingly fast service. To top it all off the food was very cheap! If I had to change anything it would be switching from canned drinks to bottle or machine fill and unfortunately it's cash only. But worth a stop on way through!

We visit Port Colborne often and while asking a local resident where to find a good dining establishment, we were steered towards Melina's. Every meal we've tried has been excellent. We are especially fond of the big breakfast meal since it feeds all four of us! Service is great even when they are very busy and they are busy often. The staff have always been super friendly. We've seen lineups out the door but it moves quickly. The restaurant is kept clean and prices are very reasonable. We will continue to eat at Melina's every time we visit Port.

Gladys Pickell

Big breakfast portions and reasonable pricing. Food was fast and delish. Service was great. They should have real syrup as an option. No fresh brewed decaf. A good experience tho!

Don Cormier

Melina's has delicious food. She has specials everyday but the weekend. The soups are homemade and served hot! The atmosphere is always relaxing. The wait staff are always friendly and accomodating to your needs. Paula & Ron Potter Welland

David Schulz

If you want comfort food from the days of diners look no further! The Clam Chowder is fantastic. Classic Banquet burger and fries and don't forget amazing fish and chips! They also serve a fantastic all day breakfast menu. I can't say enough about this sincere restaurant. Truly a classic.

Trevor Lightbody

Jean Noordhoff

LeGaLiZe WeEd

Took my family here for supper. Was excellent! Everything was delicious food wise. Just disappointed that they seated us in the very very back away from all other customers especially when the back isn't finished renovating:( service was food also but only giving 4 stars due to seating arrangement. Gonna try breakfast next time.

Great breakfast joint. Cash only thought

jeff doan

Excellent. Distance seating. Cleaned tables. Great meal. Will come back. First eating out experience in months. Great treat.!!

Bill Darton

We love this place! Good food and awesome staff! Delicious, simple diner food with great service and good prices. We try to eat there once a week. Sundays can be busy because of the 'after church crowd', but if there is a line, it moves quickly. A fav place of the locals. Staff are very pleasant and attentive, always with a smile and a laugh. Cash only, but there is an ATM in the restaurant. Lots of free parking.

Excellent location for Sunday morning brunch. The staff is warm, welcoming and eager to serve you. The omelets are very tasty and come with plenty of hashbrowns and toast. Be aware that you cannot use your credit cards as it is cash only!

Remon Hanna

Vee Hope S

We had a party of 16 and our waitress was absolutely amazing. Our food was comforting and great tasting. It's my first time here and I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you for making my first time a good time.

J.P. Walker

Always a terrific place to eat with friends. The staff are awesome ????

George Duemm

Excellent food. My first time coming here and the server was the friendliest person ever. I'll definitely be coming back. I had the steak and my oh my it was super tender it literally melted in my mouth. Also the apple pie was phenomenal

Linda Pidgen

Busy place at 1pm on a Sunday with a cozy atmosphere. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger plain on a sesame seed bun. Huge burger, however it was dry and had an off putting taste reminiscent of rancid canola oil. I will visit again in the near future and revise my rating accordingly.

Lynn Riel - Van Bolderen

Great food and great prices

Paula Lynn “Roberto” Potter

Dined in last Wednesday,had breakfast with my sons 32 and 17 years old good eaters ????????. It was amazing! Clean,great prices, really good homemade food,friendly waitress????. Big portions, younger kid hardly finished his breakfast and it lasted till evening.Thank you so much for great experience!

Niko Estrada

Pradipta Datta

Our large group loved the food!

Uncle Duhn

Comfortable atmosphere and Friendly staff but a little slow with their table service. The menu has a good variety and prices were some of the best We've seen and the food was enjoyable. Did have room for dessert and was looking forward to some home made pie......should have skipped dessert! I ordered rhubarb pie, thinking that would be nice, a little tart old school treat. The "pie" put in front of me was a flat, oozing mess I would not have served to anyone, almost asked Her to take it away but I couldn't do it. I was embarrassed for them. My Wife and when I was a kid my Mother made delicious rhubarb pie that stood up an inch thick, this was just terrible and the crust was SOGGY, not moist. So enjoy Your dinner but go somewhere else for dessert.

Justin Lemieux Reale

Good food. Good service with friendly staff.

Cash only policy is annoying, the restaurant closes at 2PM for some strange reason. The food is ok.

Trinity Meleg

Absolutely love this place! The staff are the sweetest people you could hope for and the food is fantastic. I come here (almost) every Sunday with my boyfriend and everyone remembers us (and even what I like to order!) If you’re looking for amazing food and exceptional service this is the place for you.

Jim McDonald

We have breakfast here quite often. The staff are very courteous and efficient, even when it is really busy. The food is home style, fresh made. The prices are very reasonable. If something isn't right they will make it right. We've come for their Thursday chicken parmesan special...excellent meal!! Their French fries are fresh made too.

Alan MacIver

Tim Kennedy

Great fast service - not skimpy on the bacon! Great prices , will come back for sure next time we are in town!

Shelley Hotte

Bring cash! Their atm charges 2 $2.25 and only gives 20s. Wasnt impressed with food or service. Had 2egg breakfast, and poutine. Poutine was mozzarella, and breakfast was fine. Didn't take pics, so I wasn't impressed. Won't go back. Lots of better restaurants in the area.

H E

First time here. Staff extremely pleasant, premises spotless and delicious lunch.

Mario Benacquista

Great atmosphere and breakfast. Staff were very attentive and food came out quick. We will be back!

james ens

First timer today, breakfast was excellent. Everything cooked perfectly. I will definatley be back when i am in Port

Tom Dyment

Cant say much for the food. We walked out before we got that far. After sitting for over 10 minutes without any attention from a waitress we started getting a little impatient but when another table was seated and received their drinks and had their order taken before us we decided to go..

Christine Hutchinson

Great food, awesome service, big servings, good prices highly recommended

Jennifer Macdonald

My family and I tried this restaurant for the first time today. We were seated quickly even though there was a line almost out the door. The waitress Diane, was beyond fantastic taking our orders quickly and being extremely friendly. The food was correct, hot and very tasty. The prices were great with the large portions that you received. We will definitely be back and have already told friends and family how great it is!

Rob Hogg

Great breakfast! Homefries were fantastic (asked for added onions) and the breakfast sausage was the best i ever had. Staff was friendly and quick even though they were packed. Great price and portions, too. Definitely would recommend.

Matthew Billard

Awesome breakfast, really affordable, nice restaurant and super friendly staff

Carol Macallister

Always great food and friendly service.

Robert Lehan

Delicious food, great prices and awesome staff and service!

Donald Fraser

Wonderful restaurant. Always friendly service, and the best breakfast you can have in the Niagara Region guaranteed. I have no clue where they get their bacon, but it's the best bacon I've ever had. Best of all, the greatest prices I've seen for breakfast. Order the "big breakfast" for just over $11 - two giant saucers of food. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, breakfast sausage, home fries, toast. Giant portions too. I say this as someone from Niagara Falls, where a place like the Falls Manor won't let you leave without spending over $25. Nothing against Falls Manor, but the comparison of prices and food quantity is ridiculous. Wonderful family place, good comfort food - 10/10.

Michael Cockhill

Great food, great service! First time there but definitely will not be the last. Very impressed with the quality and portion sizes of the food and the attentive staff!!!! Fair pricing too!!

Mal Currie

Breakfast was absolutely fabulous, Egss over easy,sausages with homefries/with onions,wife had 3 egg omelet with home fries,both had coffee(2 cups) total $20.00 plus tip = $25.00 we will be back .. Their patio at back ,very nice and clean ,staff attentive and nice

Wendy Lovell

This is home cooking at its best. Breakfast or lunch, you’re going to enjoy your meal. Staff are very friendly and are attentive to the details such as ensuring you’re coffee is full. The menu will entice you to keep coming back to try something new.

Jennifer McMillan

More than a 5 star! Was told to go here by my friend Leeann and her husband Pete. Was NOT disappointed!!!! I ordered the steak breakfast which she said is the best in Niagara and oh boy was it ever good!!!’ Filled to the brim!! Bringing my entire family on Wednesday!!!

Jon Mac

Went and had the big breakfast. 11.95 and it's huge. 2 big pancakes, homefries, 3 eggs, full serving of bacon and 2 full size sausages. All of it was on point and came out ridiculously fast. Coffees not bad either. Staff was nice and atmosphere is good. Will be back once I fall off the keto wagon.

Jason Botelho

Always love coming to Melina's for breakfast and lunch. Tho food is always amazing and the staff is very friendly. Special thanks to our great server Rose who is always very helpful. looking forward to our next meal here.

Diane Steeves

Awesome breakfast spot. Really thick cut bacon, cooked perfectly and the waitresses are always pleasant and good. Dont think I've ever had a bad experience here in the hundred or so times I've been. Only downside is theyre cash only.

Jennifer Chanda

Just had a DELICIOUS meal at Melanie's! The steak was done perfectly , the service EXCELLENT ???? , the price point A1. Dont miss the experience of eating at Melanie's ????

rob pietz

Our Go-To breakfast place in Niagara. The food is always amazing and the service is above and beyond great.

Great home-style food and amazingly friendly service. Food served super fast (lunch). Recommend! One note: the restaurant is cash only. There's an ATM on site.

ken callahan

What a find. First time there, food was great and severs were just wonderful. Definitely a must try.

cass amyotte

UNDERCOOKED FOOD Went for a breakfast #1. Bacon undercooked. Home fries undercooked and under seasoned. Called and went back for a second batch of potatoes. Told them about complaint. Food still undercooked and no seasoning. They asked what could be done and I said I dont know. Nothing was offered other than to come back and try again another day. Will be going to breakfast barn for now.

Emma Prentice-deWeber

Had a great experience here for a Saturday morning breakfast. Staff was stretched thin but hustled. Great service and a fast hot meal. Did I mention the portions were generous. Good coffee too.

Angie Petruk

Service

Jane Doe

Slow service, our food was a little too greasey for our liking. Overall an ok experience. Probably won't be going back though

Ed Holder

Food was good. Obviously a popular place as there was a line. No interact, so bring cash. The reason for the 2 star review is the fact that I found hair at the bottom of my coffee cup, after drinking most of it, barf. I know things happen, but it wasn't dealt with very well in my opinion. Didn't wish to hear of the waitresses own horrible experiences. Expected some horror or embarrassment at this find, an apology and perhaps at least the coffee comped. Nope, just here's your bill. Certainly made it seem like it was commonplace. Good food but I won't be back.

Jennifer Sider

Great food, love the greek salad. I would have given it a 5 start but the place could use some redecorating and a good clean up. However it is still a family favourite because food is soooo good, always homemade and the service is excellent and the prices are reasonable.

Dean Rooney

Great breakfast (extra onions on my potatoes!). Good coffee and a great price. Stopped by on a ride from Hamilton and made a lucky discovery. I will be back!

leeann sigurdson

So good!! Great atmosphere! Staff is sweet and attentive! Food is incredible every time we go!! Love it here

Fabian Vernazza

Food and service were amazing. Great prices and delicious food.

Darq Burns

So the atmosphere and furnishings aren't the greatest. The food is fantastic! The waitresses are like superheroes, only better looking, and if you haven't had their souvlaki dinner, then I recommend it! Love this place for that home cooked food!

Logan McLeod

We are from out of town and had never been in before. We were pleasantly surprised to see the place full of people, that being a sign of good food. It was excellent in every way. Good food, great service and very reasonable prices. I will recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Jacquie Lenson

Breakfast was good. Huge amount of of food. Could not eat it all. Prices were pretty reasonable and fair. Service was good and friendly. Would definitely go back when in the area.

Wyman Lawrence

Love this place. The big breakfast isn't awesome value. So much food for a REALLY decent price. If you are near here and hungry get the big breakfast

Lynn xxx

The bacon comes two ways.... rubbery and not cooked or burnt when you ask them to fix it. Service was good. Food not so much

Holly Nickols

Just had cheese burger and fries don't recommend it it was like a slider in full size bun worst experience with this meal not worth the 10 bucks i paid

Darren Whyte

Awesome breakfast! Fully loaded and delicious for a great price! I recommend the number 1 for anyone with a big appetite looking for a bargain!

Lennox Nelson

Dine in

Jason Ropp

Very nice place. Quiet patio. Excellent service. Good breakfast. Awesome prices. Only downfall is the terrible coffee

Roseanna Gucciardi

Best fish & chips in town, at a great price.
