Great prices! Private patio, beautiful this time of year if you want a Sunday brunch without no ling waits. Also, open late Friday and Saturday which is huge for the Melrose area! Food was 10/10!! The owner is awesome

It’s our first time back in a couple years. New ownership as of May 2023. It is a must try if you have never been (or it’s been a while). The new menu is very well curated. You can tell that the chef loves food. I tried the pork belly blt it changed my life! The service and vibe was great as well!

Good food overall. Did feel like the service was a little slow but nothing too bad they just seemed distracted. Very decent breakfast place with pretty tasty food. The pancakes alone are worth coming back for.

Went here today and it was so great! The food and drinks were tasty and fresh. Had the curve scramble and added mushrooms. For drinks, we had the cold brew and had a coke float and it did not disappoint! Harmon, the owner was so genuine! Definitely recommend to everyone! The atmosphere was super awesome with local artwork and live music in the back patio. Will be back!

We went here about a month ago and we loved the menu! Our food was outstanding. We had the chicken and waffles and the caprese salad with pork belly and it was delicious. We are definitely planning on going back soon. Service was a little slow but kind and knowledgeable. I believe there was only one server that morning and we weren’t in any rush so we were happy. I’m sure as more folks start figuring out how good this place is they’ll start bringing on more staff.

During a recent trip to Phoenix visiting our daughter my husband and I went to a restaurant called Melrose Kitchen on three (3) separate occasions. Twice for breakfast and again for a late night meal after leaving one of the area's entertainment spots. The food was amazing! Everything came to the table piping hot. The pancakes are to die for. My omelet was incredible and the chicken in waffle was so so good. That's right I didn't make a mistake it's not a chicken and waffle it's chicken in a waffle. You must try it for yourself! I can't say enough about this restaurant. The new owner Harmon Swartz and his staff were extremely friendly, and very professional. The owner shared with us that he would be opening the patio in a few weeks. The patio will add another dimension to this hidden gem. When you are in the area stop by Melrose Kitchen you won't be disappointed.

Ive been coming here for 7 years and I can confidently say as 2023 comes to a close that Melrose Kitchen is better than EVER. Food, service, and atmosphere have been elevated - and the coffee! They leave an insulated pot of locally roasted and freshly brewed coffee right your table. If you haven't given the new MK a try, you are missing out. Get in here now!

What a hidden gem. Located in the Melrose District, this restaurant is small, quaint, quiet and clean. Great customer service and the prices are very reasonable. You seat yourself and there was not a wait. I had a Melrose cheeseburger with fries. The bun was so soft, the beef patty was juicy and the fries were handcut and cooked perfectly. That was the best burger that I've had in a while.

New owner and they are so much better than the last one. Wait staff understands my wheat allergy and the cook was very careful not to have cross contamination. I had the sausage and peppers. Very tasty dish.
Donald Martinez
I love the new Melrose Kitchen!
Great service, great food!
I loved the R&B music being played. The only thing keeping my wife and I from going more often is that we wake up early and generally go to breakfast around 7, which is before Melrose Kitchen opens. But when we get up late, this will be our go to.

The food was just amazing. I don't know what to tell you.
Irbin Tapia
Very unique place and entertaining. Really enjoyed the seafood omelet it was super delicious. The Banana walnut French toast was super delightful and cool part is its handmade from the owners.100 percent recommend this place.
Jillian Foss
The food was sooooo good!! I absolutely loved the music! It was more Calming and not overly loud like most breakfast places. Highly recommend and will definitely be back 🤤🥰

Edit: recent visit. Do yourself a favor and order the Pork Belly BLT (picture added). No really, DO IT. That's focaccia (Just from Scratch), a local bakery, is amazing!
Also, open late night on Friday and Saturday, till 4AM! Bar crawlers, shot callers, hospitality people! We've got a place in the hood that's not a chain, local, and delicious.
Edit: New ownership! Just reopened. Fresh paint 😁 New elevated menu (8.5.23) * pictured (Breakfast & Lunch). New staff.
Welcoming, tasty food (enjoyed the French toast casserole *pictured and Midwest omelette), and cold brew coffee.
Looking forward to Patio late fall 2023. As well a liquor license 🙌. Check them out...again?
Thanks for the great hospitality Harmon!

Old post/owners: Step back in time. Super charmer of a place. Wonderful people, delicious food (enjoyed the stuffed french toast), and good ol' fashioned charm.

The food and atmosphere was great. Music during Sunday breakfast was a pleasant bonus, and we will be bring friends and family with next time.
Thank you Harmon, Amber, and staff for your great service as well as!

It's a small place and if you blink you'll miss it but it serves a nice breakfast.
The server made sure our coffee was never empty. The food is good and prices are worth it for what is given. You can get large meals or their waffles and pancakes which are more "a la carte" style. The large waffle or pancakes run about $7-$8 and it'll be extra for a side like bacon, egg or hash browns.
I'll come back to try lunch sometime.
Christal Beebe
Everything we have eaten here is absolutely phenomenal! Waitstaff and owners are personable and generous. Definitely a go!
Ronald Cook
I think this is a really cute little restaurant. If the food were a little better it would be a goldmine. My mushroom swiss burger was not great. it was well done though I asked for medium rare.The bun was thin and soggy. The experience was OK. I have been here for breakfast and it was better. this place should be packed at lunchtime.
John Holaday
Great food with a very friendly staff. The back patio is a hidden gem!
MaryJane Irwin
Can't wait for this place to open for dinners! We've had nothing but good food and good experiences eating breakfast and lunch in this (our favorite neighborhood restaurant) almost weekly for several years now. The staff and especially the owners and their son go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. And they've never failed to honor our "special requests."
Ian J Wajand
Only my first time here, but amazing food, great menu, great vibe (love the secret garden), and each and every person working here could not be nicer! Would go back later today to try some lunch if I wasn't so stuffed, but I will definitely be going back again and again in the future. Couldn't be happier to have this as a neighborhood spot.
Rodney Cook
A great little gem of a restaurant serving a nice variety of quality dishes. I have eaten here many times and always enjoyed. The staff is super friendly and the decor makes it worth checking out in and of itself.
Emily J Reyes
Huevos Rancheros are bomb. Great place. Very friendly staff.
Ashlee Gutierrez

Lee Mather
Love their breakfast, the best bacon! They are now open for dinner I can't wait to try it!
Jennifer Gleason Valentine
The atmosphere was cozy. No waiting. Ordered the chicken chilaquiles and was VERY impressed. Best beans ever! Flavors were well developed and the green sauce was awesome! Will definitely recommend to friends and family! And will definitely be Back!
Patuniua Sanchez
Outstanding service. Great food. Dog friendly. First time there. Will be back.
Jenny Burchette
We had a wonderful breakfast in the eclectic secret garden in the back of the restaurant. It was a great time!
Spike Lincoln
It's a great family owned & operated restaurant.
Full Breakfast & Lunch Menu 7 days a week.
From their Stuffed French Toast to Banana Almond Pancakes, or a simple burger it's all good.
Everything is made to order. This means your order might take a little longer than large, chain or franchise places.
It's worth the wait.
Great people, awesome food, convenient location, inside / outside seeting.
Jose Mendoza
