MELBA’S SOULFOOD KITCHEN - San Bernardino (CA)

5 /5 Marcy Blandon: The second and I do me the second I walked through that door I was greeted like I was family ! Came for the 5 piece chicken and walked out with 10 ,some fish and a slice of lemon cake ! For under $40! Like where do you find that now in days?! The sides were amazing , the yams by far are my favorite but followed closely by the greens ! The chicken is crazy crispy and seasoned perfectly! I would show ya’ll the food but there’s only the after math ! You have to try . They did tell us that they are moving soon to highland and sterling . I can’t wait to see you guys at the new location !

5 /5 Rob: $10 soul food plates! Say less, I had to stop in! I havent had a good soul food plate in a while so when I saw the deal online, it gave me the extra nudge to check it out. Lol with that price is so low one should be able to scrape up some recyclable money to get a plate. And the plates are big too. They give you 5 pieces of fried chicken. Seriously two people can eat from it. So I guess if you and your friend got $5 on it, youll be eating good haha. I wound up ordering an extra plate to take my mom since I was going to see her. But I’d come back here if I’m around, it was worth the stop.

5 /5 Wendy Nguyen: Ill definitely be back! Great price, you cant beat $10 plates for awesome food. The catfish, greens, and yams were perfect and my nephew loved his fried chicken and double mac. I look forward to trying the banana pudding and peach cobbler soon. I have tried many, many soul food restaurants and vendors at community events throughout the IE, and most places average $20-25 a plate. This spot is a keeper.

1 /5 E M: I was really disappointed today. I watched one of this restaurant’s delivery drivers actively throwing trash out of the car while driving through Ontario. On top of that, the vehicle itself looked dirty and poorly maintained. As a food business, this kind of behavior is unacceptable. Littering shows a lack of respect for the community, and an unclean delivery vehicle raises concerns about hygiene and professionalism. I do not condone this type of behavior from a business that handles and delivers food. I hope management addresses this, because it reflects badly on the restaurant as a whole.

4 /5 Ereka Mil: I love seeing our people out here making moves! Congrats to these brothers. They appeared to be family, and they were working hard to get those plates out in a timely manner. I would suggest getting some sistas in there to help keep things flowing and make sure the customers stay happy. Overall, I see the potential in this being a great place to grab some soul food in the Dino.
