Melody's Coastal Cafe

We took a little road trip here.
It was Saturday and not to busy for about 2:00 pm we had a good choices of food.

Ever since my first visit I loved going any chance i get. The employees are very kind, the food is great and while there you can drop your shoulders and feel a sense of relief. You're very welcomed, you aren't rushed in ANY way. I have no complaints and wouldn't change anything.

Only 4 stars because the clam strips we got as an appetizer were very chewy and didn't taste fresh. Other than that, food was good. Prices were fairly reasonable. Will be back in the future.

Great place! The food is awesome. Service is amazing. And the atmosphere is stellar! We will be making several trips to Jacksonville over the next year, and we will be stopping in each time!!

So, it may not look like much, but the food is top shelf, the staff are very professional and pleasant, and one of them is actually a robot. That was a little unnerving, but pretty cool. Whether it's a shrimp Po boy or pizza, this place really has it going on

This place is amazing! I loved the vibes as soon as you walk in. They have paintings on the wall for sale, a jukebox on your way to the bathrooms, and an arcade to the left when you walk into the restaurant! They have a bar area with every kind of drink, ever, on your right as you walk into the restaurant.

Did I mention the bathrooms? Well, they are absolutely pristine. They have these cool chic blue sinks that are made from marbled stone that resembles lapis lazuli! It's cooler in the bathroom than in the restaurant which is something that I liked a lot.

The food was (and always is), cooked to order. This was my first time here but my husband used to come alone all the time and he said that's the main thing he loved about this restaurant venue. The meals are definitely filling!! We received burgers as big as our faces.

The only thing that could have been a little better is the service. It is family owned and I can appreciate that! Our waitress was very sweet! We did have to ask a few times for different things and look around for our waitress quite a bit. However, I tipped more than 20% because it's so important to do that!

They also have paintings for sale on the walls and the prices are VERY generous for quality stuff! The only thing I'd recommend is that the sides of the canvases get painted as well so no white area is showing and it looks completely 3-D! We love our painting and will cherish it for many moons!

Thank you guys a lot for a magickal experience!

Traveling on I-95. Stopped at this local restaurant for an early dinner while traveling. Super experience! Cheryl was an excellent server with great recommendations. Blackened Grouper and hush puppies.were excellent!

Seafood with a country atmosphere. Loved it. Food is perfectly cooked and tasty. Loved the robot that delivers the food!

One of the first Restaurants I tried when I first moved to the area. Very impressed with the Waitresses, food,service. It was a great dining experience. I will indeed be back to try another dish.

We stopped at Melody's while we were passing through the area. We had Wendy for our server. She was very nice and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. We received great food and great service so we would definitely stop here again given the chance.
They had many options on the menu, from a variety of seafood options to burgers and tasty appetizers. I got the loaded nachos with chicken. It was very good. The aioli drizzled on top was quite spicy, but with a side of shredded lettuce and sour cream, I was able to balance it out. My boyfriend got the fried oysters with a side of fried okra and he ate every bite. We wanted to try the fried cheesecake with vanilla ice cream and chocolate drizzle but we were just way too full.
The atmosphere seemed fun and fresh. The decor was lovely and beachy. The ladies bathroom was very clean and had pretty sinks, mermaid theme decor and a full length mirror. There was a full bar with craft beer options and more. There was a cute arcade area and a stage where I assume they have live music on occasion.
If I had a suggestion, it would be to get another fryer for non seafood items. I was unable to get any fried food items because I have a shellfish allergy and they only use the one fryer. The other thing would be to add some cushions onto the booths, because some just have hard wooden seats.
