[DannyDisneyFreak]

My wife and I split a chicken sandwich at the Sci fi for lunch last time and they even cut it in half in the kitchen & served it on two plates for us, they evn gave us enough frys for two people! So I thought we could try this at Mama Melrose's. So, Anyone know what is good and large enough to share for lunch at Mama Melrose's in MGM? Here is the lunch menu to boost memories.

None of the things we had are still on the menu, so I cannot help you with specifics. However, be aware that Mama Melrose is one of the places that has smaller portions at lunch.

We often get an order of calamari for the table which for us is 2-6 people. It is probably 2 or 3 cups of calamari. Tons for two to share and a nice appetizer size even for 6.

My husband and I sometimes split a side salad (love the vinegarette) and a flatbread. But we just each order one thing and then share.

We really enjoy Mama Melrose. Kevin and Dori are wonderful servers there.
