"This restaurant is truly disappointing, offering some of the worst food I've ever encountered. I spent $20 on what was easily the most terrible chicken and waffles I've ever had. It's outrageous that they charge so much for such unappetizing dishes. I feel cheated. I highly advise against coming here—let's not support this place. I hope they close down soon so we can have a better diner, as I am tired of the poorly made chicken and waffles available in this unfortunate city."

I ordered a fried chicken steak via Doordash, but I was disappointed to discover that it was a processed frozen steak. On the bright side, I did enjoy the dressing that accompanied it.

My friend and I decided to dine at Mel's after a day of shopping. The food was fantastic, and the service was exemplary. It reminded us of our younger days spent savoring late-night meals.

My partner and I chose to eat at Mel's after a day of shopping, and I have to say, the food was delicious and the service was outstanding. It brought back fond memories of our younger days when we used to go out for late-night meals after having fun.

The place was good, a little bit crowded wich is a good sign of the people love this place. Food was good, our waiter was really very nice and also you can pick the song you want to listen while you're eating. First time here, I'm thinking to coming back soon. View menu

The service at Original Mel's was fast and friendly, with the staff full of great energy. We hardly waited for our food, which was absolutely delicious! The charming oldies diner atmosphere perfectly complemented the experience. I really enjoyed exploring their menu and would highly recommend it!

This is a horrible establishment with some of the worst food imaginable????. 20 dollars for the grossest chicken and waffles I've ever had in my life. Like how dare they charge this much for such disgusting food. I feel like I was robbed lol Do notcome here, do not support them, hopefully they'll close down and we can get a better diner, cause I'm sick and tired of the lackof good fried chicken and waffles in this terrible town.
