Mel's may be the "original" diner as advertised in neon lights around the building but it wasn't our original destination. We were in fact headed for Baker's Square restaurant because we had Entertainment Book coupons for that restaurant. We drove around the block 3 times before calling the phone number on the coupons. "This number is no longer in service," was the response.
Our alternate destination was Fresh Choice but we had to pass Mel's Diner on the way and I guess it was nostalgia for the 50's diners and the late 70's TV show "Alice" which took place in Mel's Diner that made me want to try it out.
This man's opinion: The food was good and 3 specials of the day indicated the chef was somewhat imaginative. The service was prompt and friendly which we attributed to a nearly empty place. However, as the evening wore on the restaurant
filled up and the service was still good. We'll be coming back.
