Additional Information
The Food Was Good, but it Wasn't anything spectacular . One Waitress Brittany Compained The Entire Time And Was Loud And Clear... About How Much She Didn't Want To Be There. My Waitress Tonya Was Super Nice, Attentive, & Had Southern Hospitality! Overall TheExperience Was Okay, I Feel Like it Could Have So Much More Potential With The Right Staff Put In Place ! Read more
Very busy because of their location and proximity to certain venues. The server was super friendly, the food came quick, and the... decor was 50's themed. Everything everyone else ordered was good (the burgers, patty melt, hot dog, chicken fried steak) but DONOT ORDER THE MEATLOAF!! Blah! It was just an overcooked puck of over peppered ground beef. Doused in brown gravy. The mashedpotatoes and squash for sides were ok but i wouldn't order them again. Read more
I had never had such a bad experience as today, I came with my baby to eat. and when asking the waitress for a milkshake, she... explains that it will be 30 minutes and I agreed and asked for something else while she was less busy, then I ordered somethingelse and she told me that she had 6 more tables to serve that was on her way, and in the end the diswasher took my order. Afteralmost 40 minutes, and asking the dishwasher to put my food to go, I waited for my ticket and she went to other tables and notmine, in addition to leaving a metal glass and a spoon on my table,I felt very disappointed because had never find someone tomake me feel so bad, I would have loved to know the name of the waitress to put it.

Just as expected! It was a great experience with a kind, quick waitress. Food was a great price and tasted delicious. The... atmosphere was just the type you'd expect it to be: nice and noisy but not too much so. I'd definitely go back here! Read more

I?m giving this visit 3 stars because the service was good. Otherwise, it would have been 2 stars. My husband and I both ordered... chicken fried steak sandwiches. Sadly, they were not very good. The lettuce was awful, limp with brown places, the tomato wasold and mushy, and the patty was frozen and mostly soy with a little beef thrown in for color. The bun was mushy too. The bestthing we had was the fries and the drinks. They didn?t have Diet Coke but they did have Coke Zero. I drink regular Coke but myhusband was okay with the zero Coke flavor. It just surprised us that the food was sub par when they just recently remodelledand re-opened. I was expecting a great old fashioned chicken fried steak. I guess Covid did a number in Mel?s Diner too. Read more
