We went to this location of Mel's and it was closed. There was another business there that was not a food joint

Honestly Victory Alley is an amazing bar and grub spot! Always lots of good chill people! The bartenders are wonderful and the owner Kevin is amazing and loves his patrons. He treated us like gold . Will be back !

We were wondering looking for a place to eat and the owner Kevin and Mike saw us and brought us to the Sports Bar. It was just like Cheers, a friendly and almost family atmosphere. The food was great and when we get back to Cleveland we will certainly stop by again. The bar was quiet and right in the middle of the area where the Cavs were playing the first playoff game and the Indians had their first Saturday game. It was very nice, the hot dogs were great and the staff was nice. Thanks Kevin and Mike!!

Great breakfast place to grab to go stuff. Their bacon was crispy, the kielbasa was amazingly tasty and had a great grilled char on it and the eggs weren't bad. Service was also pretty top notch so I would totally recommend this place for breakfast.

Went here with my boyfriend, owner was super friendly and the food was amazing. I'm extremely picky with my potatoes and omelettes, and they're better than any place I've tried before..... I'll be back in November for more. :-)

We are visiting from out of town and we needed a quick bite for breakfast. We found Mel's on yelp and figured it looked like a quick and easy place to stop by. We ended up sitting down and eating there because it looked too good to wait. Everyone had their fill for around $15 a head and the folks working there were super friendly and fun to chat with. I'll be having dreams about the pumpkin roll. We're already talking about going back.

I like Mel's cafe it's a no frills little breakfast diner that most people use to get take out but you can also eat here. Their kielbasa is the best side item you can order, it's perfectly smoky and has that charted flavor yet not over done. I also had a breakfast sandwich with bacon which was tasty. The owner introduced himself and was very nice while I was dining there, and the waitress was also awesome. I would come back here it's like a perfect mix of lucky' s and non pretentious diner.

On a whim we decided to ride over to Mel's for breakfast. Mel and the waitress were both very friendly. It was early, so we we're the only ones there. Mel came to see who rode in and chatted with us for a while. We both ordered egg breakfast dishes and they were excellent. Corn beef hash for me and cheesy eggs for my wife. Definitely worth a stop.

I live right around the corner. Delicious simple food and great people serving it. The perfect place to have right around the corner. And they always have a biscuit for my dog, too.

Traveling through Cleveland we were looking for a good, friendly place to eat. We found it at Mel's Cafe. The owner was really friendly and worked with my picky taste buds. He did a great job of creating a meal for us. My boyfriend got the shrimp and pasta, it was perfect. He toned down the Cajun for him and added extra spice. Very tasty. He made me a BLT with extra crispy bacon. The bacon was served true to form, very crispy. I got the pasta salad with my BLT and it was AWESOME. When we come back to Cleveland we will certainly eat at Mel's again. Thank you!!!

Amazing place to stop and get breakfast. This is a no frill cafe. The food is delicious, the service is stupendous and the black coffee is just what you need. Perfect local spot. Do yourself a favor and support a local cafe.
