I gotta say, this place is a hidden gem!! We have lived in Greenwood for 22 years and had no idea about this place, so let me say it loud enough for those in the back, "WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!" We will most definitely be back as well! We loved everything about it! Everything was clean, inviting, our waitress was super friendly, the food tasted AMAZING, the sweet tea was on point, the prices were FANTASTIC & I lived seeing a lot of locals coming in and meeting up for dinner and catching up with old friends & neighbors. Everyone was talking to everyone and was super friendly even with us. It reminded me so much of my grandmothers restaurant she used to have many years ago in West Texas. As my husband and I looked around, we noticed this appears to be a family owned business, and we just fell in live with it and will be back! I would also like to say that our waitress who was suffering from horrible allergy issues was still working hard & killing it! She was still friendly and was in no way looking to go home sick or let it get the better of her or even sliw her down. She was a gem, and in today's world, that is quite rare. She is so far above average workers that we tipped her really, REALLY well and commended her on her smile, her friendliness, her work ethic, and customer service skills even while she was clearly suffering. We will be coming back soon and will be bringing ALL our family to support this amazing small business!Parking: plenty of parking even for multiple 4 wheelers! ?
Mel’s Hwy 10 Cafe is a cozy haven for food enthusiasts seeking genuine home-style cooking. Here’s why it’s become one of my favorite spots:Comfort Food Bliss: From the moment you step inside, the aroma of comfort food envelops you. The chicken fried steak here is nothing short of legendary. Crispy, flavorful, and generously portioned—it’s the best around!Belt Buster Breakfast: For breakfast lovers, the “Belt Buster” is a must-try. Fried eggs, hash browns, sausage gravy, and biscuits—this hearty plate will keep you fueled all day.Friendly Service: The staff at Mel’s is warm and welcoming. They make you feel like family, and their attentive service adds to the overall experience.Pancake Adventure: The morning special, complete with bacon, eggs, hash browns, and a choice of pancake, left me satisfied. The pancake had a unique sponge-like texture—different but delightful.Roadside Charm: Mel’s Hwy 10 Cafe may be a roadside diner, but it’s a treasure trove of flavors. Whether you’re passing through or a local, this place feels like home.In summary, Mel’s Hwy 10 Cafe is where comfort meets flavor. It’s a slice of small-town magic that leaves you craving more.

Amazing service, even better food! When you want a break from the prices at the Lodge on Magazine (do NOT miss going there) give your finances a break and try the diner! Nothin' fancy.. just great food!!

Best chicken fried steak I've ever had! Such a crispy batter. I love the sides, too, and the staff are sweet as tea.

I've never had a bad meal here. The chicken fried steak is the best around! Today I had the Indian taco, and the fry bread was IMMACULATE. I had to give my compliments directly to the chef because it was just perfection.

Had the belt buster, fried eggs, hasbrowns, sausage gravy, and biscuits. Got the 1/2 order. Good, but I had eggshells. Also ordered the morning special, bacon, 2 eggs, hasbrowns, and choice of pancake, which I got, biscuits and gravy, or toast. Good, but I missed a little flavor. Pancake was like a sponge texture and very good ?.

Prices have gone up and hours have gone down. No more large to go cups and a surprise at the end if you want to pay by credit card...tack on and additional 3% fee!Food is still decent and good service but questionable management since new owners took over. Used to love stopping in for breakfast but cheaper places in the area for breakfast now!

The waitress was extremely slow. We had to keep turning around to see if she was going to help us. We almost walked out. Finally, took our drink order, and took forever to take our order only two tables were occupied at the time. Then he asked for a refill on a glass of tea that was sitting on the edge of the table for 10-15 minutes, I finally had to get her attention and ask for it. Food on the other hand was good.
