"Local resident; respect that Mel’s has been open for decades and people told us to try it. We ordered a spread between old and new: the famous Benedict along with some holiday spiced French toast. Place was packed, even at 8:00 on a Saturday morning. Our service was rushed, sides were forgotten initially. The French toast was fine but didn’t seem much more than you’d make at home. The Benedict was (sweet?), covered in bechamel, and cool to the touch. The scrambled eggs were mostly scraps. I may return in future for the pancakes, but was hoping for a little more for the $$$."

"It was super amazing! Went on a Sunday morning and it was packed (for good reason!) Despite all the customers, the service was still pretty great! I had the pancake sandwich, and it was awesome. It was way better than I expected. Also, their muffins are AMAZING! Do yourself a favor and get one of them poppyseed muffins :D Toasted and buttered is OOOHH BOY! It was sort of expensive (just shy of $20/person) but probably worth it. Staff was friendly and attentive as well! I'd totally reccemed Mel's Cafe!"

"Mel's Café never disappoints. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. The place is always full, but you always find a place to sit or only need to wait for a few minutes to be seated (Not waiting for 2 hours is definitely a plus)."

"Paul and the Staff here are awesome update 8/13/25 had the most amazing breakfast the one egg omelette was amazing! The best ever, fresh food made to order spectacular place a hidden gem on a back road ! Best diner in the area ! Incredible clam chowder a must try!"

"Portions are big, food is good, pancakes are fluffy and flavorful and coffee is flowing. Themed diner vibes. Definitely recommend!"
