MELS was our go-to for a relaxed lunch/supper for my husband, myself, and adult kids. We've overlooked the dirty walls & sagging booths bcz the tabletops were always cleaned. We've overlooked the grimey menus. We've even overlooked the old, dirty bathroom. All because the waitstaff had always been friendly, the prices were fair, and the ambiance was relaxed.
Today, I was alone for a late lunch. The food was fine; the service was good. However, when I rcvd the bill, I was overcharged $1. I nicely asked the waitress to correct it, showing her the menu price difference. She smiled and left to take care of it. Then, an unidentified angry woman came over to my table and informed me that a sign was posted on the inside front door that I had been expected to read, informing customers there was an extra 50cent charge for each egg. Unfortunately, reading any of all the posted signage on the door while holding my phone & car keys in one hand, my cane in the other, and trying to pull the door open, was not possible. I calmy explained that I had ordered what was printed on the menu. The angry woman said it didnt matter; their doorsighn was posted and I'd have to pay the extra amount anyway. So, I said ok, that I would just take the $1 from the tip, and the mgmt could compensate the waitress if they wanted. The angry woman said, "Then don't come back," and stormed away with the bill in hand. Next, a stringy-haired boy brought the bill back to the table and said I'd better pay it or they were going to call the police. Paying the bill was never the issue - what had the angry woman said to cause him to say this to me? For a $1 overcharge? I asked a familiar waitress to take my $20 to the register to pay the bill for me bcz by then I WAS upset. I left the 20% tip and collected myself to leave.
Then, I thought, how hard is it to just add a sticker to the menus? So, I went to the register, anyway, and tried to give this suggestion to the older gentleman standing there. The angry woman took that opportunity to falsely accuse me of yelling&screaming. Meanwhile, the older gentleman looked very confused bcz he recognized me as a good, repeat customer (if I HAD been yelling&screaming, he would not have been confused). The stringy-haired boy told me to "get out bcz I was hurting business" and "losing them profits." Unfortunately, they are doing that on their own. So, ok. Our $200/month will now go elsewhere. Sorry, my sweet waitresses, but your 30% tipper is now gone, as well. All for $1 of misadvertising? Not really - for not respecting me as a decent customer and a human being.

Wow! Delicious food! It’s also always a good sign when I see the owner helping out the staff instead of barking out orders!! Loved this place, 5/5, will be back!

This place is always busy on Saturday mornings, the only time I can really get there, the food is always incredible. Service is usually pretty good, very crowded, shared a table with another couple, but it made for good conversation. Still recommending highly.

Sadly this place only gives 'military discount' to those in UNIFORM when asked if I (VETERAN) could have a military discount.?Nothing for VETERANS. ?RUDE.
