Very nice attitude and a very good personality of the lady server. She does an awesome job, and the pizza is the best in Somerset, hands

What a great little place to spend an afternoon. Had breakfast for lunch that was perfect. I tell myself every time I am there that I should go more often. I am going to hold myself to that

I ordered food for take out. I did not eat inside or stay for very long. The girl who took my order was really nice and helpful. We asked for wings with sauce on the side and we did get sauce on the side, as well as on the wings! Their turkey for a turkey club was ? not good quality lunch meat. The rest of the food was satisfactory.

Cheers to 90 years. You have to love a place with that type of longevity. Maybe a dive bar, but definitely a local hang out. Burgers were great, staff was friendly and beer was cold. The restroom was great. Rubber ducky your the one...
Mel's is a cool little dive bar in the middle of Somerset. When we first moved here I heard less than favorable things about this establishment. Since then or near then I believe it was bought by a new owner. I have eaten there many times and must say the food is excellent for bar food and beyond. Everything has been cooked just right not burnt. The prices are reasonable in todays age I suppose. They have daily specials for an excellent price and the specials are really quite good. My favorite is the Friday special where they make a mashed potato, corn, and fried chicken bowl. All in all the food and service are great.As for the cons of this business, the soda seems to come out flat and warm every time I order a drink. This is not a deal breaker but some refreshing cold bubbly is sometimes needed to compliment a well cooked meal. The last con is a tough one because we live in America and everyone should be able to make their own way. BUT it is 2023, and as such some expectations to take a business to the next level might be in order. This is a bar and I realize that, but maybe if smokers were limited to certain hours of when people could smoke inside it would help or better ventilation. Just to be clear though it is not super smokey inside or anything but I know many people who are impartial to not breathing cigarette smoke while enjoying a delicious meal that this place is capable of delivering.All in all the owner is a nice guy who seems to care about his business so I would definitely recommend this place for a meal or a fun night out, just be prepared to take your food to go (which they do) if you do not like the smoke in the air.

I really cannot understand how the owner (or manager?) of the bar could not get his phone number straight with multiple police officers from various jurisdictions, nor with the front office manager at the Hyatt Regency Cleveland at the Arcade. Why was he so combative?
