Mel-O-Dee Restaurant & Catering is a popular spot known for its delicious coleslaw and broasted chicken, which is highly praised. The restaurant has a nostalgic 50s and 60s vibe, serving fresh Midwestern country food, including excellent pies and freshly baked bread. Customers appreciate the good chicken, the sweet, creamy coleslaw, and the homemade bread served as a wonderful appetizer. The food is generally outstanding, with generous portions and quick service, making it a favorite for many. The atmosphere is reminiscent of small-town old-fashioned charm, creating a cozy and welcoming environment. While the place can be busy, many diners feel right at home thanks to friendly staff and the warm service. There may be rare instances of overcooking, but overall, the food quality remains high. Prices are as expected, and the baked potato is not covered in salt, with the loaded potato being truly loaded. The restaurant strives to accommodate all customers, and arrangements can be made for wheelchair accessibility if called ahead. Most visitors leave satisfied and often plan to return for more of the classic, down-home meals they enjoy.
