Mel's Diner is a neighborhood favorite, known for its generous portions and quick service. The chicken fried steak remains a highlight, with perfectly breaded and tender meat, served with delicious gravy. The biscuits are soft and fluffy, and the coffee is always hot and refilled without asking. The staff is friendly and efficient, though the service can feel a bit rushed at times. Customers have the option to pay with cash or Venmo, and the establishment has a unique policy where unpaid bills may result in being asked to wash dishes. Despite some price increases over the years, the overall dining experience at Mel's Diner is satisfying and enjoyable. Whether you're in the mood for a classic breakfast or craving the signature chicken fried steak, this diner is a reliable choice for a hearty and delicious meal.
