The Original Mels Diner is a popular restaurant chain, known for its super friendly staff, laid-back atmosphere, and delicious milkshakes. Breakfast foods are a standout option on the menu, and customers recommend taking advantage of the Steak & Eggs deal. The waitstaff is courteous and many are bilingual in Spanish, which is helpful as the menu has little to no pictures. The diner has a fun and uplifting music selection and is kept clean, with well-stocked bathrooms. The wait time can be lengthy when it's busy, but it moves quickly. The food is satisfying, if not particularly exceptional. The retro diner atmosphere is a highlight, with children's meals served in a cute car-shaped box.
