Totally stuck in the 80s. Literally nothing changed. Probably just the staff, who were super hardworking friendly and seasoned.
The surrounding area is scary, homeless and their “stuff” were scattered all over the parking lot, and the vicinity. The thing that attracted me was the price and nostalgia, which we got.
Food came out lickity split, fresh and hot.
I got the veggie breakfast burrito. Not bad. I wished they used home fries instead hashbrowns, makes it crispy instead of soggy texture. Other than that the burrito was good. Son got the kids pancake with bacon. The pancake was too chewy he said.

Very cool old school diner. They have a few pictures on the wall from when it was used to shoot Alice back in the late 70s. We got 2 eggs, corned beef hash, hashbrowns and toast. 3 eggs chicken fried steak and 2 pancakes. The portions are HUGE. We didn’t come close to finishing it. It was good. Very typically diner food. Our waitress was great. Its definitely a place to come visit when youre in town.

Absolutely worth stopping in! Great food & nostalgia! The huge pork chop breakfast was well worth the price; seasoned & cooked well! Lunch special included home made chicken noodle soup. Will definitely make this a stop next time we’re visiting from Tucson.

Finally made it to Mel’s Diner! They have been here a long time, I have driven by for 20 years as a resident and even more as a visitor. The food is classic diner food that hits the spot. The servers were friendly and understanding of our kids. Pretty chill spot, not too loud for table conversations. We split a farmers omelette and had a biscuit with gravy. The gravy could use some sausage, otherwise it’s pretty good. The omelette was meaty, just the way we like it!

It was a cool nostalgic place to eat. Menu was pretty decent. Typical breakfast food. Price was comparable to other breakfast spots. Enjoyed the servers who seated and took our orders. Very friendly and service was quick. Would definitely return.

This is my 3rd vist in the past year. Food always great service fast and prices responsible. I would recommend trying it out. Only downside is the decor is dated but that is the whole theme.
