Was User at Mel's Diner a mag?
This was our first visit, and we had a great experience. The service was quick, and the food was delicious. We were part of a large group and were able to sit in two booths right next to each other. I ordered the pulled BBQ pork, while the kids had cheeseburgers and fries with mac and cheese. We're definitely looking forward to returning to try more dishes. View all feedback.

What User dislikes about Mel's Diner:
I love the environment here it's a blast from the past and the milkshakes here are amazing. But the food leaves a lot to ask for I got the bacon cheeseburger and the burger was over done and the bacon was chewy but if you are someone who is all for the 70s you would love this place and make sure to order the milkshakes.

Mel's Diner was a welcome nostalgic that took us back to a familiar time. The service was great and the food came out really quick. I loved looking at all of the memorabilia on the walls and listening to the jukebox.

We had the breakfast special. Just right for my husband and I.

Mel's Diner offers a charming 50s-inspired atmosphere, complete with vibrant décor and a lively vibe. While wait times are short, and service is generally friendly, opinions about the food vary. Many patrons praised the milkshakes and desserts, while some found the main dishes underwhelming, citing issues like rubbery chicken tenders and overcooked burgers. The bustling environment, highlighted by nostalgic memorabilia and upbeat music, delights many, though it can feel cramped and noisy. Overall, Mel's Diner is a fun culinary trip down memory lane, ideal for those who value atmosphere over a flawless dining experience.

I love diners. They remind me of growing up in South Jersey. Mel's is two thumbs up diner vibe. The staff is down to earth, knowledgeable friendly. The menu is pretty extensive and my son's grilled cheese was a two thumbs up, my husband's burger was a hit my club was delicious. A diner that lives up to its reputation when we're back in town we will return. Check it out!

We had a wonderful dinner! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We only waited a few minutes to be seated, and it was definitely worth it. The only thing that could have made it better would have been if Alice had walked in and made an appearance!

A fun and authentic old-school diner experience! They offer everything you’d expect from a classic diner and are open very late. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I had to wait about 10 minutes for a table, but it went by quickly. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is that they could improve their cleanliness a bit. I would definitely return!

This charming, authentic old-school diner offers a wide variety of classic dishes that you would expect from a true diner. They stay open late, which is a big plus. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We only waited about 10 minutes for a table, which passed quickly. The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars is that it could be a bit cleaner. I would definitely return!

I had an amazing dinner! The food was outstanding and the service was top-notch. We only had to wait a few minutes to be seated, and it was absolutely worth it. I just wish Alice would have come in and made an appearance!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The music was fantastic, and the prices were reasonable for the delicious food. The sweet tea was also very good. Our waitress, Miranda, was excellent and very attentive. I will definitely be returning!

The food was amazing, and the service was outstanding. Our server, Amanda, was particularly helpful. She offered excellent meal suggestions, was very friendly, and established a great connection with us during our entire visit. When it was time to go, she even provided plastic utensils for us to take our leftovers back to the hotel.
