We arrived before 6 pm on a Friday night. There was a line at the door waiting to get inside. There were about 7 parties ahead of us. It was confusing because we thought we had to go to the front of the line to put our name on a waiting list, but when we got to the front of the line we discovered that there was no list. We had to go back to the back of the line and stand and wait. A lady heading up a group of 7 people was grumbling because small parties were being seated ahead...
Went for lunch with my daughter & daughter in law. Both live in other areas. The food is always outstanding. I always get the patty melt. Daughters had the veggie burger, wife had chilli and 1/2 turkey sandwich. All were perfect! Of course the entertainment is part of the draw to Mel's and it was very nice! We were too full for desert, so had to skip the banana split...bummer!
It's pretty noisy. But they got us in pretty quickly and seated our group of 14 relatively close to each other, Although not all the same table. The food was hot and fresh. The singing was pretty good. The desserts are over the top. I know the prices look outrageous, but the dessert you receive will be equally outrageous.
