"With its colorful spirit and lineup of Southern classics, this comfortable spot—as charming and lovely as its namesake owner, born-and-bred Harlemite Melba Wilson—is a perfect reflection of the neighborhood's flavor, culture, and past. . . . Equally enticing is the Southern fried chicken—darkly bronzed, sweet and salty when paired with Melba's iconic eggnog waffles." - Marguerite Imbert
