Probably the best classic hamburger I’ve had on the island!
Visited Mel’s diner today and ordered a large order of onion rings. They were delicious. A meal in itself. I highly recommend Mel‘s diner for a great lunch. Amanda waited on me and she’s top-notch. Make Mel’s diner a place you want on your bucket list.
Great place for a burger, I was tired of eating at The hotel . Don’t let the look fool or deter you since it’s inside of the gas station. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had
