BEST SOUL FOOD IN THE SOUTH
While traveling down I-240
I exited on Danny Thomas Blvd, headed
to where it intersected with 629 Chelsea Avenue.
This is a part of Uptown, and a historical little strip. This is where Sun Studios and Select-o hits originated.

Once named Melanie's Restaurant it was located in North Memphis. Jimmie Leach had a vision of having a family owned restaurant. She started her business with very little money in hand. A purchase of regular restaurant furniture, a stove, pots, pans, tumblers, napkins, and a cash register, and of course food, and she was in business. Her, husband, sister, five children pitched in. With the help of her Mother Girlee Smith, and many grandchildren, Melanie's Restaurant was born.
Years later, after, the murder of a Chinese born merchant across the street from the restaurant, the decision was made to stay at the N. Watkins location.
Melanie's Restaurant became the go to location for not only the people in the neighborhood, but from all over the city. City Hall, Federal Express, Memphis City Schools, Churches, Police and Firefighters. You even saw the neighborhood street people. Melanie's was home to everyone, and no matter what the element was Melanie's was given the respect that you would give Mama.
Entertainer's when in Memphis always stopped by Melanie's. It was a big surprise when Stevie Wonder walked thru the doors one day.
After a fire burned thru the strip where Melanie's was located, the family did not know whether they would rebuild, or even whether they would reopen at another location. The restaurant is now open as Ms Girlee's Soulfood Restaurant.
