A place in full 1950s style. As Italians, we were pleased to recognize Chiara Ferragni's photos. Abundant and tasty dishes. Super recommended burgers. Friendly and kind staff

Our son recently moved to the area. Enjoyed a celebratory dinner here. Outstanding service. Great atmosphere. Two of us had burgers. Two of us had a sandwich and chicken wrap. We had a strawberry shake, honestly the Best shake we've ever had! We also ordered the cherry pie. Had it ala mode, in My opinion the pie can stand alone. Delicious! The burgers were also delicious. Our family and I would 1000% come back and recommend this restaurant.

What a fun place to dine, filled with history !
I haven’t been here in years and was reminded of my past life.
This time it wasn’t with friends, it was with my daughter who was pleading for a burger and ice cream. Texas Chili was delicious! Yum!!!

Went golfing then had the urge to find a place that was open after 9 and Mel’s was!

The staff are the sweetest.
Our server was so kind.
Thank you for a great night! ??

I ordered the Mels fried Chicken.. it was $26 and all i got was 4 pieces of fried chicken which had no flavour. It was bland!
The fries were ok but the coleslaw was bitter.
My husband ordered burger which was again average. No flavour at all.
Tbh i regret going there.
Would rather go to KFC .
Service was perfect though!

My fav place - they know me here.

Good ol' American food, service, smiles...

Dig their Caeser Salad, Grandma's chicken soup, sliders, burgers, hot dogs, blue plate specials, Coffee shake, chocolate fudge cake, cherry pie à la mode (chocolate ice cream)...

Seniors get a discount, if you ask nicely. I don't ask... why cut into the tip base?

Enjoy...

Bad approach with janitor who cleaned outside the parking lot, I still wanted to try a coffee and pancakes.
The espresso was watered down and expensive, $5.25, the pancake ok...
However, $19 for breakfast seems really excessive to me.
Friendly staff at the counter.
