Good solid breakfast place. Great wait staff. Not fancy! But I loved their waffles, light and crispy.

The Original Mel's Diner, where the TV show was filmed. The food was tasty. I had a BLT with the chicken soup. Everyone else had breakfast. Great place for nostalgia

This is the 3rd time I've eaten here. Growing up in the seventies I watched the TV series pretty regularly. Since Polly Holiday just passed recently it felt like it was time to give the old place another visit. It's very much just a diner, but with reasonable prices, good food and good service.

Lived in Phoenix for a long time. Never eaten here until a friend recommended it. I didn’t know what I was missing.

It was a cool nostalgic place to eat. Menu was pretty decent. Typical breakfast food. Price was comparable to other breakfast spots. Enjoyed the servers who seated and took our orders. Very friendly and service was quick. Would definitely return.

Food was awesome I had eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy and grits coffee. Rebecca was amazing and the place was like stepping back in time. Came from Indiana and I am so happy to see this place.

I made the mistake and came here during the summer and it was horrible don’t even bother getting some coffee the diner was miserably hot with the fans on low barely working. The biscuits and gravy had no flavor and the bacon was microwave bacon. We had to ask each time we wanted coffee. Also fix your parking lot people go there because it’s Mel’s Diner have some respect for it’s history.
Had breakfast, hope you're hungry. Good food, decent prices, lovely staff.

The “gravy” has zero seasoning for one thing. The meat on the Reuben had the texture and taste as though it had been defrosted and then heated in a microwave. No seasoning on the French fries. And the pancakes were hard. The nostalgia is nice until you notice all the dust. My family had a good laugh on the way home, but honestly I’m a little sad that it’s gone so far down hill. Keep in mind in the photo I added the pepper.

Finally made it to Mel's Diner! They have been here a long time, I have driven by for 20 years as a resident and even more as a visitor. The food is classic diner food that hits the spot. The servers were friendly and understanding of our kids. Pretty chill spot, not too loud for table conversations. We split a farmers omelette and had a biscuit with gravy. The gravy could use some sausage, otherwise it's pretty good. The omelette was meaty, just the way we like it!
