If you dont know the employees by name dont expect to get service. Tried to get breakfast took 9 minutes to get a water and after 15 minutes without ordering food I left. The waitress was walking around saying she is to busy. I came here for years and will not be coming back anytime soon.

We stopped by because of a Google search and need for a late breakfast. We were out of town. Great little place.obviously a nice town family place. Everyone knew each other. It was great. Also bought a loaf of raisin bread after having it for breakfast. The bread, and omlete along with the blueberry pancake were good. My husband said there were too many blueberries making it soggy but I noticed he ate the whole thing. We would definitely go again when back in the area. Service was quick and very friendly.

Went there for breakfast on a Friday morning with two of my grown kids and my husband.
The food was delicious, portions were big enough to eat some there & still have some leftover for home. We had a really good time there.

Imposible. I tried to place an order to pick up. They said a hour to a hour and a half. I understand that sitting customers are more important because of the direct complaints and tips. Sorry you guys needs more staffing. Hopefully, they get the help they need. Can't rate their food or service I travel to work and I was hoping to pick a breakfast.

We are not local but I found this little gem on Google maps, so we stopped here for breakfast and were not disappointed. Very good omelettes and the service was great. Didn't have to wait on coffee refills. Would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.

From start to finish Mel's is the only diner car around making Mel's a stand alone diner in Lebanon, if your a Philly boy like me you'll love this place. The earlier bird specials are unbeatable in taste and price. Expect to seat yourself as the waitress will go out of her way to make sure you come back. And when you do she'll remember something about you. UPDATE 2025: Mel's Diner embodies the classic diner experience with its traditional dining cart design. It’s a laid-back, self-seating establishment, and that's exactly why it stands out as the best diner in Lebanon, PA. The breakfast is exceptional. I ordered two dippy eggs, or over-easy as most people call them, along with fried potatoes and sausage links. It was absolutely delicious! I wholeheartedly recommend Mel's Diner to anyone looking for a great meal.

Mel's diner is pretty much a historical landmark in the restaurant business and Mel's diner has been around since I was very young and I never had any problems with the staff or the preparation of the food I ordered and my food was very good and hot when I received my food and since the last time I've been there the staff is changing but in a wonderful way

The food was almost as bad as the service. The waitresses argued over who had to take us... loudly. The one that got us groaned.... loudly. I almost left at that point i did not feel like my business was wanted. Practically threw the menu at me. And after all that when I went to pay with my card it was like I insulted her by using debit. Never will I ever eat there again.
