Cute little 50s themed diner in the heart of downtown Prairie Grove. Nothing too fancy, but it’s a fun stop if you’re in the area and looking for some Americana/nostalgia.

Good food at great prices. The staff is super friendly and all the food was fresh. My veggies on my burger were all fresh. The gave me a lot of fries. The wife and I got a great lunch for $25 all together. Definitely will frequent Mel’s.

Mel’s is my son and I’s go-to spot every Saturday morning. A true American diner, where you know your food is made to order! If you are passing through, or live nearby, stop in and enjoy a relic from times gone by.

We stumbled upon Mel’s Diner while on a road trip and loved it. Fun atmosphere and my burger was perfect – amazing flame-grilled flavor. Highly recommend.

If you live the 50’s and amazing food, then look no further! You have found a little slice of heaven in Prairie Grove, AR! We recently stopped in and was blown away! Outdoor seating, too! I had the chili and let me tell you! You will want to slap your momma over this one! I tried the chicken, as well. Just can’t go wrong with anything on their menu! Portions were huge for the price! The entire place took me back to a simpler time and I enjoyed every second of it! Even met the owners and they were just as kind as I knew they would be! Get on in there and have a great meal! Or just grab a fried pie! You can’t lose either way!

Just had a super delicious carnivore diet breakfast and the music and atmosphere took me back to a chill relaxed era. Clean and service was on- point.

There is not a better Burger that I have ever ate! Everything at Mel’s diner is amazing! Including the owners who cook and serve you everytime no matter what . And their pancakes are amazing!!! I couldn’t find a picture of the pancake but it was bigger than the plate! The sidewinder fries so crispy hot perfect . Fried mushrooms! Plus the price you can’t beat! I just thank the Lord that they are close to where I live!! If you live far away it’s worth the drive. The only downside is …. They close at 2:00 pm. But how else could they have a life and be the ones that cook for you and serve you every time no matter what. Thank you Mel’s diner for amazing food every time we come in and I’d like to think we are frequent flyers for not living in the same town . Sorry this post is so long but this place deserves it!! Yummy

Excellent burger, fries and salad! Service was fantastic,meaning friendly, efficient and cheerful. Food was tasty and we could tell that they used fresh ingredients. The prices were very reasonable. We had a classic, small-town diner experience and Mel’s exceeded our expectations.

Pancakes for days!!! Be prepared to feed the homeless with your leftovers.
Finally got to have lunch here. It was delicious!! the chili cheese fries were great. And the burger was amazing!!! Bacon cheeseburger the fried pies are to die for!!! Was a little disappointed we could try the baked potatoes on the weekend.
