Had Chicken Parm sub and fries. I like cutlets for my chicken parm, not small tenders but it still tasted okay as there was plenty of cheese and sauce was okay. A bit pricy at $18 for what I got.
November 2025
Mel's Café never disappoints. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. The place is always full, but you always find a place to sit or only need to wait for a few minutes to be seated (Not waiting for 2 hours is definitely a plus).

This place is our hidden gem! Food is always delicious never have to wait more than 5 minutes. So many menu options and I love that they cover so many dietary needs. Today I watched a mom concerned for her child’s allergies speak with the chef and he showed her a package just to be extra cautious of their needs. I look forward to my next trip in!
