Always a nice experience, love this place!
My friend got the meal deal for $18, which is slightly on the expensive side. Chicken steak and eggs and hash browns. Taste is just as you expect. The portion size is decent.

Aesthetic 5 ⭐ it looks really nice inside. Food was okay, I got a jalapeno burger and it was nothing to brag about. Husband got fried steak and mashed potatoes. The milkshake was really good tho! And they give you leftovers too.

The food was great, portions were huge! The prices were fair as well. Our server was good and visited at a proper rate. But the star of the show is the throwback look and decor.
Pictured is the Hangover, 2 huge biscuits, sausage patties, bacon, sausage gravy and scrambled eggs.

Food was just OK. The potato salad was not to my liking. And the guy behind me was annoying playing video on his phone with the volume turned up!

I ordered a classic Mel burger w/ cheese that came w/signature fries and a pickle. Fries very tasty. Pickel good. The burger didn't taste or look freshly cooked. It came out fast but it wasn't hot? The kaiser roll was not fresh tasting. Not that much thousand Island put on. I added ketchup and mustard. I expected more from a classic diner burger place. The service was friendly and fast.

Went in for a meal. Because I am new on a prosthetic for my amputated leg I sat in a chair while the two cashiers helped those coming up to pay. I waited and as new people came out to forma line I remained patient. When the line was done, I watched as this guy was doing something and made eye contact with him. He said nothing. He came back and was busy on the cash register. A family walks in and he seated them right away. I felt ignored and very upset. I left. And plan to not return after going there for a few years. I even supported them after the pandemic. No more.
