melito's restaurant

A brief history of how we started

Since 1981, Melito’s has been a proud family-owned and operated restaurant right here in our community. What began as a small local spot has grown into a beloved gathering place where friends, families, and neighbors come together to enjoy great food and friendly faces. For over four decades, we’ve stayed true to what matters most — serving handmade, high-quality dishes crafted with care, consistency, and a touch of home.

At Melito’s, we believe in supporting our neighbors, which is why we source fresh, local ingredients whenever possible. From our world-famous hot dogs to our daily Chef creations, every plate that leaves our kitchen reflects the same dedication and pride our family has poured into this restaurant since day one.

Join us for lunch or dinner and experience why Melito’s has been a local favorite since 1981 — where good food, good company, and hometown hospitality always come together.
