I wish we had a Mels like this in Tahoe. Gotta leave the hill to find great places. We always stop by here on our excursions to Apple Hill.

The Original Mel’s Diner is such a gem! Their veggie burger is one of the best I’ve had anywhere, and Joey’s Caramel Monkey Crunch is simply outstanding—sweet, crunchy, and unforgettable. We left with our stomachs full, and honestly, it felt like an all-day meal at such a great price. A big shout-out to Ashley R, who made our visit even better. She was super kind, attentive, and generous with her suggestions, helping us pick the perfect options. Great food, great value, and excellent service—I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I am driving to Tahoe!

In a classic Mel’s setting this place has a nice hometown vibe with delicious food and quick service. After some of these experiences we’ve been through with some other diners. I really appreciate the fun and friendly service here. We will be coming back. Amanda is our new favorite
I asked for very funny scrambled eggs. When my plate was brought to me the eggs were well done. Please advise your cooks that once eggs are removed from heat they still cook for 1-2 minutes. The waitress had to take my meal back. I hear her tell the cook that she was going to throw up because I asked for runny scrambled eggs. I truly didn’t appreciate that. Also, our toast was burnt and we couldn’t eat that either. Please send your employees to proper training in customer service and your cooks need schooling on how to cook. We’ve always have had great experiences here but this one time and how we were treated, it’ll be awhile before we come back, if we do.

Love the cute town of Placerville that is home to this historical diner. Great service (they were so kind and patient with my mom while has dementia), yummy food, and cute diner atmosphere.
