Mel?s is a local staple and we did not pass up on the opportunity to eat here again on our last day in town. I ended up ordering... the high protein breakfast (menu pictured for contents of said meal) and gobbled that up rather quickly due to how simple, yetgood it all is. My wife ended up eating getting some scrambled eggs with gluten free toast, bacon, ham, and a side of hashbrowns. All in all, the environment is perfectly retro and it makes for a cozy dining experience no matter which location yougo to! Sorry that the food is not pictured, for some of these reviews I find myself enjoying the experience so much that Iforget to capture the meal. Suffice to say, Mel?s is a safe breakfast / lunch / dinner spot with a classic edge to it that willfill you up and see you leaving with a smile. Read more

Famous, touristy, whatever. It's just cool. Aside from the memorabilia, jukebox, and selfie-takers, which are expected and... perfectly fine, it's just a cool vibe. The food is good. Large LA-size portions, the staff friendly, and if you're a local orvisitor you have to have a shake (or malt). Read more

I have never been to this historic site, and I am glad that I visited the last stop along Route 66! The food was amazing! The... service was timely! Plus the restaurant and the restroom were clean! I would definitely go again, and recommend it to others! Read more

We were so excited to finally eat at Mel?s since it?s an iconic diner spot and has been featured on several films. The jukebox... on the tables were neat (just .25 cents to play a song)Unfortunately the food wasn?t favorable, the coffee wasn?t great and thewaiters weren?t welcoming. Read more

I did a takeaway of pancakes, French toast, omelette, potatoes and French fries, food tasted average. Inside the restaurant it?s... nice and big with coffee refills and kid friendly! Price was higher than the restaurants around this area. Read more
