Customer Reviews

"Where the locals eat. No fancy decor but the food and service were excellent. Sweet tea and country fried steak was amazing and fried chicken sandwich was very good. Ended up talking to the owner for most of our meal and nearly everyone that walked in the door he greeted on a first name basis."

- Mason

"Menlo's Restaurant had some of the best breakfast plates I've had in a long time. Great local feel. Service was fast and very kind. Food was delicious! If your looking for a traditional southern breakfast, you have found the place."

- Michael B.

"First, let me mention that me and my husband are picky eaters. We love taking pride in our food and we stumbled across this amazing place that does also! The burger was amazing! It was fresh meat and it was not over cooked! We got the onion rings and tried the chicken nuggets. The chicken nuggets were fresh and hand dipped! We both are truly shocked we found this place. We came to mentone for a few days but we will for sure come back just to eat at Menlo Restaurant"

"We had a yummy country breakfast, served by a friendly waitress, with good prices. The only downside side is the acoustics allow you to hear every conversation in the place. Bring cash, because they don't take cards."

- Karen S.

"The Menlo Restaurant isn't just somewhere you stop in for lunch, and order a delicious burger with a side of onion rings. It's a place where you walk in on a community. People are talking and laughing or maybe crying together. It's family. Literally and figuratively. It's family run, but everyone feels like family there. It's neighbors fixing the world problems philosphising over there grits and eggs. Definitely stop in, slow down and enjoy some great food and fellowship."

- Gtube R.

"A little pricey for the quality of food, but it's yummy . It needs updated badly, but otherwise atmosphere is ok. Service is friendly, but lacking on the rest. They try hard, harder than it should be."

- K C.

"I was pleasantly surprised by this small town restaurant. I thought the food was very good and prices were very good as well."
