“Mel's is an awesome place that is like walking into a Saloon in an old western! (very good thing for me) The atmosphere, service, and food were all excellent! Thanks Mel and staff for helping to make a great day!“

“we have ate here on and off since moving here over 20 years ago. I love the salad bar and have always been very satisfied. However our most resent visit was NOT good. I got the cod and mashed potatoes . Our food took a long time and then my mashed potatoes and gravy were very cold. The waitress did not come back to the table for a long time. The boys were done eating and I was still waiting for a waiter to come. Eventually she came and warmed them up but by then my dinner was ruined and everyone was done eating. I will not eat warmed back up cod. So my whole dinner was chicken food. We may return but im in no hurry . Very disappointed in this visit. Never encountered this before, so hopefully it was an off day.“

“This is one of the best kept secrets in Iowa. The people at Graceland are great. We started stopping here after a golf outing in Galena and only wish we had more time to spend there. They are welcoming and jump in on fun. Can’t wait to visit again this year…“

“It makes even the cheaper grades of steak tender and juicy.“
