Mel's is a busy, bustling diner with lots of great menu options. My family has frequented Mel's for many years. Their food is even delicious as takeout to eat at home! Their eggs benedict and bagel sandwiches are to die for. We also love their silver dollar pancakes.

Superior wait staff. They always take your order very quickly and bring your drinks very fast. Food is cooked perfectly every time and comes out super fast. One of the best breakfast/ brunch places around. Great value for your money and time, highly

"Absolutely fantastic breakfast experience! The eggs were cooked to perfection, the bacon and sausage links were deliciously savory, and the home-fries had just the right amount of crispiness. And let's not forget about the pancakes – they were fluffy and flavorful, truly the cherry on top of an incredible meal. Highly recommend stopping by for a hearty and satisfying breakfast!"

Food is good, service is good. Love Mel's, but they need to close for a week and do a full deep clean - the place is GRIMEY. Please, please clean this restaurant.

Not sure what the food is like because we were seated and then ignored for 15 minutes while the staff stood around the POS station talking. We walked over to get a server and ordered some coffee. They disappeared into the back and didn't return so we just left. The restaurant was moderately busy but there were 7-8 staff in the front of house. Very bad service.We ended up going to Zaftig's, which was just as busy but managed to serve everyone with half the staff. And their prices are better.

Best breakfast place I have been too so far. Not one breakfast item I have not liked from there. finally found a place that makes homefries the right way!

ADORABLE diner. It gives you that feel of that place you and your friends used to go in your hometown after a really long Friday night. Wait wasn't long and I actually came back about 2 days later for a second meal. You won't go home hungry. Shouts out to my boy Paul running the show. Good guy right there.REUBEN REVIEW: SO a bit of a mix up here. They did a RACHAEL here instead of a Ruben so they changed up the corned beef to be turkey. Don't worry they still do a classic as well as a fish based one! The sando itself was pretty good! Wasn't wet at all which is great and the slaw on the side was STELLAR.?? ? ? ?HONEY MUSTARD MATCH UP: so I ordered my sando and asked for honey mustard and it didn't come originally so like... I'm down a leg here. But the honey mustard comes out looking like nacho cheese but the taste? Very good balance between mustard and honey. Right in the middle so I'm going to give this a SLUUURP? ? ? ? ⬛

2 star restaurant with 4 star pricing. Food is ok, but overpriced for what you get. Kind of a dinner feel, but generally run down.
