Special?

by kcs404 at Citysearch

Just tried their lunch special that was posted on their board. A "cuban" sandwich... with "two" sides, and a drink. After paying over $10, I have to say that the lunch special was neither. Lunch: I only got one side...(okay I thought- I don't really need two), but the size of the sandwich was tiny!

Special: $10... really?!?

Never again Sweets.

  • Pros: I don't have to go back

Sunday brunch at Sweet Melissa's? Never Again!

by RustyTrailer at Citysearch

After eating at Sweet Melissa's this past Sunday I would not recommend it to anyone I liked. The handling of seating seemed chaotic. We had a group and was told it was no problem to be seated together . When it came time to seat us they split us up and seated us NOT even close to each other! There was a live band playing which made the noise inside the already small space worse. The service was slow also. Finally being able to order the "famous" french toast , a "Full Order " of bacon and coffee, I was very hungry by this time. The food came after awhile and what a surprise. My french toast was 4 "Solid" slices of challah...in no way light and flavorful. The powered sugar sprinkled very liberally on them had more flavor. My "Full Order" of bacon was 3 soggy slices of nondescript bacon. A full order of bacon is $3.00! A dollar a greasy slice. The waitress never came back to give us more coffee and we had to hail another down just to get the check finally. If you're looking for a nice brunch place for a sunday morning to relax and have a good meal...Sweet Melissa's misses out on that.

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: no parking, noisy, badly cooked and tasteless food

Excellent Breakfast in Decatur: Sweet Melissas

by Bethlynndamon at Citysearch

I have loved this restaurant for years, always wished they were open evenings because the breakfast and lunch food so good. They make the best waffles I've tasted - with fresh strawberries and bananas if ordered that way. The breakfast burritos are delicious. My favorites, which I alternate between, are the Supreme Breakfast (with delicious supreme cheese in the scrambled eggs) and the "Hopple-Popple" which has pepperoni and sausage in the scrambled eggs. I love coming during Passover so I can get Matzah with my eggs. Omelettes are too big for one person and delicious. The owner is very friendly, usually there and circulating to get feedback; the wait people are friendly and after a few visits remember that I like my eggs soft scrambled and my biscuit hot, without me asking. I have introduced many friends to the place, all of whom have agreed and go back. We usually go on Saturdays, but Sundays they usually have jazz music being played . In good weather the atmosphere of hanging out in front with the people waiting to go in next door to the bar is fun and convivial. I also notice on Saturdays many of the same people again and again - the food is so good one would definitely be a repeat customer. Also, they are constantly going by with coffee, and even if the waitress with coffee is not "your" waitress, she offers it to you - they are so friendly and help each other out. I heartily recommend Sweet Melissas for delicious, filling food and good treatment by everyone.

  • Pros: Delicious food, tastes homemade, always hot (a sticking point with me), good portions, good music on Sundays
  • Cons: Parking in Decatur, but I've found if you park in the Eddies Attic area and walk across, there's usually a space
