What Juwan Yundt doesn't like about Mel's Hot Dogs:
I thought it was overrated. Dogs are good, but small. The Cheeseburger was nothing special, not bad, not great, although the French fries are a plus. Place was clean. Service was good. atmosphere okay. If nearby, stop and get some food, but just to try a trip... maybe not. View all feedback. What User likes about Mel's Hot Dogs:
that was a great sound. diner atmosphere with only the nicest people and bonus, an amazing veggie dog. I took mine as it is, but they are very accommodating. of the five of us, I'm the only vegan, but the omnis were super happy there. I'm not sure if the kids would have noticed if I had ordered her vegan. I have to try next time. very reasonable prices. I was too hungry to make a picture, but it looked good too! ever...
