Bobby C's Melrose

Bobby C's in Melrose is so far from the center that it's almost in Malden. I was going to the North Shore today, but traffic dictated otherwise.

There is on-street parking and also parking around the corner, but only on one side.

They have outdoor seating. They also have live music at dinner on Wednesdays.

The inside was nice and bright. It was very quiet at lunch today.

Nice place setting with linen napkins. You get some soft bread and a dipping oil.

The dipping oil was a surprise! Really tasty and flavorful. Look at all the stuff in there.

They have a lunch menu and I went with the Pork Chops ($9.99) from the BBQ section. "With vinegar peppers and potato". Well, the pork chop on the bone wasn't medium as requested, but it wasn't overcooked, so it was still tender and juicy. The potatoes were cooked well, and the sauce was terrific. The vinegar peppers weren't the flabby sort out of a jar, but crispy and vinegary made in-house peppers. What a surprisingly good lunch this was. I have to get back and try their Linguini Alle Vongole since this was such a good meal. Service was also very pleasant and professional.
