Closed today while our family honors the life of David Chavarria Jr.
Errands, prep, delivery or dishes “Pops” did it all. A warm smile and big hug, he always made you feel loved. He will be greatly missed by many. Please be patient as our family mourns his passing. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and continued support ❤️

Mel's Blueplate Express will be closed today. Monday. Heavy hearts today...
When I started this journey my Dad, David, walked with menus daily for weeks. He picked a different direction every day and he walked.
Persistent and patient, one of the most understanding and forgiving men I've ever known. He was a talker, a friend to most anyone he met. Ups and downs we had those for sure. Still my Pop. We will all miss you Old Man. Rest in ☮️❤️🎸
It's been a rough year. And yes I've been warned the year isn't over yet...
Hug your family and friends, be good to each other. "Let's not forget we are all just walking each other home."💔
Apologies for any inconvenience. And thank you for your thoughts.

🌊 Harborside Clean Up – Galveston | Event #4 is this Sunday!

Join us Tomorrow, Sunday, June 28, 8–9 AM as we keep cleaning and preserving Galveston's working harbor and ship channel.

📍 Where: Meet at Pier 21, Harborside Dr & Moody Ave — in front of Willie G's. We'll be set up at Hendley Green Park, right where the Groovy Grind Coffee Co. truck and Mel's Blueplate Diner will be with us.

✍️ When you arrive: Come by the table to add your name, number, and email to the sign-up sheet — that's how we keep you posted on future events, updates, and news.

🅿️ Parking: Free street parking until 9 AM. After that, you can pay by phone in the app (1-hour minimum — only a couple of bucks; no 30-minute option).

🧤💦 Trash bags, gloves, and water bottles are provided. Please wear close-toed shoes, and feel free to bring trash pickers, extra bags, or any tools you have! They are welcomed and appreciated.

💪Here's the plan:
We'll split into four groups to cover the alleyways between The Strand and Harborside, plus Harborside on the way back.

🥾Two groups head east four blocks — one cleaning the alleys, one along Harborside. After four blocks, both turn back: the alley crew picks up along The Strand, and the Harborside crew works the Pier 21 side of the road back toward Moody.

🥾The other two groups go west four blocks toward Rosenberg, same plan — one in the alleys, one along Harborside. After four blocks, both turn back: the alley crew cleans The Strand, and the Harborside crew takes the Pier 21 side back toward Moody.

🧼 We’ll regroup at our central spot in Hendley Green Park around 9, where soap and water will be on hand to wash up.

☕️🍳Once you’re cleaned up, stay and connect with fellow volunteers over free breakfast courtesy of Mel’s Blueplate Diner, plus 20% off coffee from Groovy Grind Coffee Co.

See you Sunday. Let's keep our harbor beautiful. 💙
