Im sure this review wont help the locals as they already know that this place is great. Great hot food at a reasonable price. Service was on point and this is a great place any day of the week.

Stopped in for breakfast on our way to Rolla. The parking lot was packed so we knew we had chosen well. When we got in the doors we were greeted immediately and seated right away. The service was exceptional. Everyone worked together to make sure all the guests were served and taken care of promptly. The food was delicious.

I went there today , visiting family in Jeff city. Me and my wife decided to try a place we’ve never been to. Our service was good, bit our highlight of the day was the cashier. She greeted us very kindly as we came in, we told her it was our first time here and she welcomed us warmly, made recommendation and even explained the menu and popular picks to us. Even as we were getting checked out she greeted us warmly and asking about our service and experience. I believe she said her name was Courtlin. This young lady was absolutely excellent and a real good pick to put at front of house. We will be back again.

Nice breakfast in this updated country diner. We opted for an omelet and biscuits and gravy. Food was tasty and food came out fast. Service was friendly and atmosphere was welcoming. Good coffee! Nice distance for breakfast from lake of Ozarks on our way home from the lake

Opening morning for their new location. Very busy and major rain event to boot.
First the good news; food was very good and prices surpassingly low considering other places high costs. Ham and cheese omelet was perfect. Diced potatoes had just right texture and seasoning. Biscuits and gravy were complimentary with soft biscuit and flavorful gravy at just the right consistency. Table workers were fantastic and genuinely friendly.
The bad – for me at least. The comfortable home style feel of the original building is gone. Replaced with lots of echoing noise and an “industrial” setting with bright lights, dark ceiling and white walls. Menu is limited but the food provided is excellent. (Best pancake I ever had this morning.) I hope they can reduce the noise and hang some paintings.
Will return as the cooking and staff more than overcome any atmosphere issues.

We’ve now visited Mel’s twice since they opened this new location, and unfortunately we have not been impressed either time.
During our first visit on a Sunday, they were out of many menu items. The bar area itself looked nice, but alcohol options were extremely limited. There was no orange juice or pineapple juice available for mimosas, and there were small gnats flying around the bar area, which made it feel dirty and disorganized. We were seated with menus but no silverware, and our food took a very long time to come out even though the restaurant was not busy. The outdoor sign was covered by a banner, which we assumed meant it was broken. The bathrooms were absolutely awful, which was surprising considering how many employees were on staff.
We returned today to give them a second chance, but sadly many of the same issues were still present — even six months later. The outside sign is still broken. The seating benches were stained and dirty. We were seated quickly, but placed near the kitchen, where the wall was visibly filthy and clearly in need of deep cleaning and fresh paint. Again, we were seated without silverware.
They still do not offer flavored creamers for coffee. My coffee mug was chipped, and I had to stir my coffee with a straw. The water mug was also worn and chipped. Once again, they were out of food items, including potatoes, which is disappointing for a weekend service.
The bathrooms were still gross. Service was decent, but the food was not. My omelet was watery, and my son’s pork chop was not edible at all.
Overall, this place desperately needs fresh paint, a deep cleaning, and better organization. What’s most concerning is that this is a newer restaurant — which raises serious concerns about cleaning habits and food preparation standards. Running out of basic food items repeatedly on weekends points to poor management and lack of planning.
Please take this as constructive feedback and fix this place up. We never experienced issues like this at Oscar’s. Unfortunately, due to ongoing concerns, I will be notifying the city so a thorough inspection can be conducted.

This was my first time going to Mel’s since their expansion. I went to brunch with a good friend and we both ordered breakfast. We were immediately waited on by Jay. It was so good seeing his face again! He did an outstanding job serving us. Our food came out fast, hot and delicious. Jay made sure our coffee cups stayed full and followed up to make sure everything was o.k.

The new inside feels like you’re in a high school gymnasium or airplane hangar.
We were seated at the bar for breakfast even though there were plenty of open tables.
Service was slow.
Received the wrong side orders.
Only came with 3/4 pieces of toast.
The condiments were disgusting. See attached photos.
