Mel’s Diner

There were only 3 other tables occupied when we walked in for lunch. We waited a while for menus, and drinks. The waitress wasn’t very nice from the start… Made it seem like our presence was annoying her. We ordered food, and waited over a half hour… And still no food… So we left. Waste of time. I left hungry and angry. Won’t be back.

Mel’s Diner is fantastic! Being from the North and not knowing the area too well, I must say this is one of my favorite places to go! Their burgers are out of this world! Staff is friendly and everything is enjoyable!

This Mel’s diner is a favorite spot for my family. The food is always delicious (I LOVE the baby back ribs!) and very reasonably priced! We met Herb (Stephan) tonight and his warm personality made for a fun and relaxing dining experience. We will be back soon!

had lunch yesterday… portions were great… prices very inexpensive, service very fast and efficient… very impressed for my first time… I will be back

The vibe from this Mel’s diner is so so. Good food but the atmosphere is a bit off.

I have been here a handful of times, and I’ve always left satisfied with the food and the service. The sauteed, blackened fish is excellent. Happy dining!

We had Lisa for a waitress she was wonderful and very accommodating to our needs. Very friendly atmosphere

I’ve been to the other location more than this one. We were quickly greeted and met up with another family who really enjoys this location. For a Saturday night it was pretty full. They have 4 main areas to eat 1 was a dinning bar with stools. We sat in the back area which had two large flat screens.
The entrees was all around $ 9 – 15 range. I had the open faced meat loaf sandwich very tasty. The flavor comes from good chunks of garlic. The gravy tasted like generic beef gravy a little high on the sodium. The mashed potatoes were plenty hot and had a very good taste and texture. I was hoping the Texas toast to be a little toasted my guess it was done way earlier. So it was not a warm or crisp at all.
Foo: 3 for a Saturday end of the evening~8pm. They ran out of prime rib. And baked potato. Burger and my strip got good reports.
Amb:4 good décor comfortable seating
Ser: 4 we were a group of 7 had two servers and they happily split the tab 3 ways.
Loc: 5 good parking near home. 7 miles.
Val: 5 Seven blue plate specials.

The price was super low considering the amount of food. Also you can’t go wrong with $ 3 margaritas! Nothing fancy but service was great!

I had chicken fried country benedict. It was to die for. Great food, fantastic service. I love this place and will return often while we’re here

The food traditional american food, the Cobb salad was great and the breakfast was good.

All the Mels Diners are great. This one could use a bit of an update versus the one in Bonita or Naples. The waitresses are always nice and the food is a great value and tastes great.

We came here to eat after a long few days. It was a great experience to have nice service and really good food. I had the American idol cheese burger, which was perfect and my husband had the Mediterranean omelet, which was also perfect.

Great food! The kids eat for only $ 4 including drink and dessert. The prime rib was huge. Great meal for your money

had dinner there tonight, prime rib, sweet potato fries, ice cream sundae.
pure 100% crap… poor qualityeat, soggy fries, cold hot fudge
my second bad experience with mel’s was on tamiami in naples
the young lady who served me on collier was great.
they must strive for mediocrity and have failed miserably… crap, crap crap food!!!
again…crap!!!

The food was so good we went back a second time. The first dinner we had Grouper, the fresh catch and a grilled chicken salad. The next time we had ribs and chicken tenders. The tenders were high quality chicken. Service was excellent and they were very friendly.

Great food!!! We had the country fried steak w mashed potatoes. AMAZING! The cheese burger was huge and tasty. Great fries! Definitely worth the wait! Every seat was taken bc the food is so good! Huge menu… Cant wait to come back!

This was by far-​the worst meal I’ve had in a very long time. They couldn’t even scramble eggs right. My mother said her eggs tasted «chemical like». My son wanted the celery and carrots to snack on. When they came– the carrots were oddly cooked. Typically when a carrot is cooked, you can push on it with your finger and it will smash the carrot-​when you push on this thing. It didn’t smash, it made a weird dent on the baby carrot. Both myself and my mother were sick after eating here. Maybe it was a bad day for them, but I won’t go back to see if they have good days. Totally not recommended.

I’ve had several good breakfasts and dinners at this location. Portions are large, and prices are cheap. Food and service are consistently good.

passed by on our way to Tampa… and will do so every time I’ll go back to Tampa. Food was great, the service very friendly and the prices very moderate.
Really enjoyed the experience!
