Recently remodeled, but they had some problems afterwards with water and men's room. Our server was very helpful and took care of replacing or refunding the drinks made with the water. The onion straws and Mel's special beef was excellent except for the cheese.

Their Menu should satisfy just about everyone at a reasonable price. Ii highly recommend stopping here if you are hungry an looking for some good food they also have pick up service to

Stopped here on a road trip because we like to find off the beaten path little gems. And Mels did not disappoint. The waitress was super friendly and helpful. The food came out fast and piping hot and was absolutely delicious. Will definitely stop back through here on our next road trip.

We were first time customers and will definitely keep coming back for more! Compliments to the chef!!!
What a great meal! Seven of us came for dinner last Friday from a nearby campground. We had various meals from hamburgers to the pollack dinner, and everyone of us were happy with our meal. Our server was great, she could not have done a better job and was so busy but kept on hustling. Her personality shined!!
Thank you for a wonderful experience... we will definitely be back!

Large portions, Fast service and my burger and the fries were perfect. Friendly atmosphere, nice folks. I have family there in town and we always go for a bite at Mel's. I'm told their food is always good and in my experience, it is far better than any chain restaurant anywhere. Prices were also very very reasonable. Highly recommend.

stopped in for italian beef and a pub burger last night,food was excellent and the server was super fantastic and running around like an octopus on roller skates,loved her sense of humor and personality, will definitely be back
My FAVORITE secret breakfast spot in Northwest Indiana. Food is always great, quality of ingredients are decent. Wish I lived closer to this place or I’d frequent it much more.

Whoever is making the skillets needs to put on a hair net, during my not so pleasant breakfast I encountered a hair hanging out of my mouth on two occasions, suddenly I'm not so hungry anymore ?
