My friend and I tried the Mac n cheese grilled cheese with sweet potato fries, buttermilk pancakes, and bacon, and everything was absolutely delicious. We will definitely return to take on the godfather challenge with some friends next time!

I can honestly say that the chicken rice soup was the best soup I have ever had outside of my own home. My friend ordered the French toast and she absolutely loved it.

Our group was around 13 people and there were lots of space early in the morning when it first opens (it does get quite busy later in the day and in the evenings/nights). The ambiance is bright with retro designs and very aesthetic. The food itself is good. Got the Lobster Benedict the poached egg was cooked well but the fries were a bit on the drier side. Mel’s is also known for its milkshake so those are a must try! Overall great diner to try if in t

This is a classic breakfast spot near campus. Just go with some friends and grab a booth.

The food isn't anything special to be honest, but the vibes are good. I'd recommend their Chicken Waffle Benny and I'd probably steer clear of the Buffalo Chicken Poutine. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't enjoyable to eat in terms of texture and flavour.
