een leuke echte "oude" diner style restaurant. Leuke aankleding en super vriendelijke serveerster. het eten was echt goed.
Mel's hasn't changed since I studied at Waterloo from 1997-2001! I was visiting the fam-jam with my bestie and we had a blast! Great food, positive vibes, all in a great environment!! Beyond 5 stars. See you again at Thanksgiving!!
