“So iconic, most simple serving snd atmosphere for great hotdogs and burgers! Wonder buns must be steamed since they are so soft. My wife and I both had a hotdog and burgers each for under $15. All the way includes mustard, chili, onion and slaw. My burger had no slaw while my wife had a cheeseburger with just mustard. Really appreciate the locals at the resale shop telling us how Melvin’s is written up in Southern Living. We traveled from Wilmington to buy old bricks here so I hope to return one day. Easier parking out back than on the main street out front. BIG UPDATE, they do take credit cards now!”

“Always worth the trip for a Carolina Style cheeseburger! Chill, Slaw, and mustard. As for the service, have your money ready because it's made in about one minute.”

“Went there yesterday on my way back to Wilmington NC for a quick lunch, it was the first time I've been there in thirty years. Bottom line it was just as good as I remember in the eighties and nineties. One of the best 🍔 I've ever had if not the best. Melvin's Elizabeth Town NC it's a must!”

“Passed through Elizabethtown with family and saw their good ratings so we wanted to try out the hotdogs and hamburger. Love the old school vibe and simple menu…hot dog or hamburger, you choose from chips or cookies, they have the option of bottled drinks or fountain. Sweet tea was really good. Hotdogs and hamburger were fresh, I had chili and slaw. They were a little heavy on the slaw. More chili than slaw would of been great, same for the hamburger. The kids enjoy their ketchup only hotdogs. Definitely worth the stop.”
