Clean restaurant and welcoming staff. Tons of choices and lots for your money. The desserts are to die for and don t forget to have a chocolate shake. Air conditioner is on and lots to look at. Has a true local following.

We stopped off at Mel's Diner on the off chance when passing and found the experience to be surprisingly good. We asked for adaptions to the published menu due to food intolerances and were given what we wanted without fuss or any problems. The food was very good and plentiful. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

This is most definitely not the height of sophisticated dining but nevertheless it certainly deserves a visit. No reservations are taken so you may have a short wait for a table.

While the prices are very competitive (especially for the daily specials), the old adage "you get what you pay for", seems very appropriate.

Great food with quick, efficient service. Menu catered to all age levels and diets. The Key Lime pie was awesome.

This was my second time eating at Mel's first time at this location. I will admit that I like but don't like the seating policy "everyone must be present to be seated" I can see some circumstances that this is great and others like mine that this hurts. I have a two year old who was hungry and wanted to... More
