The service was nice, second time here. I just highly recommend checking your food before you leave. I ordered a Wolfman Jack . I asked multiple times for no pork(Did it so I didn't sound rude) I get ham and pork sausage. The pancakes and eggs were OK though. Good I'd you like cheap food.

"Enjoying a quiet dinner at Mel's Diner in Antioch, California, with Ralph. We had French toast, wings, fries, and a Sprite for him, while I’m savoring an Americano. A perfect evening! #MelsDiner #AntiochCA #DinnerTime #FoodLovers #RelaxingEvening"

The food is good, and the service is good as well.
Almost 3 years since my last stop through the diner, and everything was still yummy!

We are sorry for coming in 45 minutes before closing but the staff called on us to come on in, sit down and enjoy a great meal. They did just that and not only did we have a good meal we had an amazing experience. Our waitress was amazing, funny, kind, and smart. She took 6 of our orders by memory and was so nice. The young man making the milkshake freezes was so nice and made great drinks. The burger was Hella good and the root beer freeze was on hit.

An old fashioned 50s or 60s diner atmosphere with food you'd expect to find at an American diner. Their decor was fun to look at. Local pictures from the 50s and 60s among other 50s and 60s memorabilia. Excellent breakfast all day, hamburgers etc for lunch, and dinners too. Excellent milkshakes served the old fashioned way. Prices are reasonable too. We had a great waitress, named Christine, with a pleasant personality. She helped with menu selections and was very nice. They weren't terribly busy so seating and service was very quick. Their hours are great for weekdays, open until 10pm. If you get a chance support one of Antioch's remaining restaurants.

Parking: Plenty of parking choices.

Plenty of space between tables, not bunched in like some other places. Love the 'retro' theme. Food was great... Generous portions... Staff is fantastic!
