What User likes about The Original Mels Diner:
celebrated the birthday of my niece and nephew. they had no banana split ice cream, but made them sunk. our server hunter was great! eating was good, but I had hoped it would be amazing when it was really or what I was hoping to be it. View all feedback. What Scott C doesn't like about The Original Mels Diner:
Food was very bland and the waiter was no where to be found. We will not be back. We ordered a $10 banana split and it was nowhere near $10 worth. Over priced and under seasoned food. View all feedback.
