Melba's On Tulane Ave.

Melbas was born from the rubble of Hurricane Katrina, turning a blighted corner into a New Orleans landmark. Located at the intersection of North Claiborne Avenue and Elysian Fields Avenue, this PoBoy Shoppe has become the cornerstone of the neighborhood and well-known as a favorite among the locals. New Orleans tourists crave Melbas Creole flavor and urban atmosphere. Located just blocks away from the French Quarter and en route to the Lower 9th Ward Katrina tours, Melbas is the perfect place to stop and experience authentic New Orleans cuisine. Come discover our authentic PoBoys, where what you see is absolutely what you get. Off-street parking is provided for tour buses and large groups. Enjoy Melbas casual atmosphere, listen to the jazz music and let our delicious sandwiches make your taste buds dance. The only thing more flavorful than our PoBoys is the Melbas experience itself. Dont miss out! Melbas purchased the blighted home and renovated it into a beautiful Chapel and outreach center for Pastor Corey Hicks. Pastor Hicks started out as a young man on the mean streets of New Orleans who took all the wrong turns until reaching bottom. From that point, Pastor Hicks picked himself up and dedicated his life to the Lord and the youth of New Orleans by growing The Vine Community Church into one of the 8th Wards more premier congregations. Melbas is proud to partner with Pastor Hicks vision of rescuing New Orleans troubled youth. And if you would like to support Pastor Hicks and The Vine Outreach Center, we encourage you to round up your change to the next dollar the next time you come to Melbas.
