Havent been in a traditional diner in ages. I'm so thrilled to find this is actually one in food as well as looks. 10/10 recommend ? will be one of our go-to favorite places from now on.
Always a great place for great food at a great price. Portions are always large. Staff can be hit or miss on personality, but it's a diner and not expecting 5 star service.

Was quite interested in eating here but after trying the food out, realised it was a bit too bland for my Indian tongue - I need flavour! The American Idol Burger set is okay, was far too oily for me (3/5), milkshake was also okay - I prefer the Chik Fil A one. My husband ordered the All You Can Eat Fish (4/5). Our server was very sweet. All in all, this was an okay experience hence 3.5 stars-4 stars.

I am originally from Philly, so I have gone to many diners in the Philly / NJ area. Mel's is great. The style and atmosphere are appropriate. The place smells and looks clean (bathroom, too). The food is as expected for a diner. On Sunday, our cups of coffee never got below half full. It was constantly refilled.If you are in the area and want some breakfast, then this is the place.

Delicious food, freindly service, and ANYthing you could think of to eat! My husband got the burger with the egg on the top, and I got the turkey club. Don't forget the KEY LIME PIE! OMGEEEEE.

Darlene and her team have the formula for an incredible dining experience. The atmosphere is incredible. The food is outstanding. Prepared by and served with warmth and and smiles. A family restaurant with a touch of class and experience. To the powers that be please, please increase everyone's wages here. I'm telling you it's the kind of restaurant where you want to have all of your meals. The bar is stocked with quality spirits and the draft selection will appeal to just about all the ale connoisseurs out there. We are always looking forward to making our way to Bonita Springs for a taste of what's on the menu! Six ⭐️'s! Kudos to Jason for being top notch server as well! Thanks for everything guys. Keep up the incredible work!
Fantastic dinner at a reasonable cost. Our server was also very pleasant.

We live here year round and this is our 'go-to' if we want diner food.However, tonight my boyfriend got the steak w/baked potato. He ordered onion rings and asked for them first as an appetizer. They arrived with the steak, and the steak was undercooked and bloody and cool to the touch, he ordered it Medium.We asked to speak with the manager,,,the waitress came back and claimed the manager 'was too busy to speak to us'. They did comp the steak.This is so disappointing and really affects all aspects of this restaurant. Need to find a new favorite.
