It's been awhile, but still on my list of good neighborhood diners in Natomas. I ordered the Bacon cheese burger with garlic fries ? ?.Wow that was a big burger. And very tasty, juicy and did I say big burger.The garlic fries were great tooJust the way I ordered, crispy.My service was good,my server and the host were very nice.

Have not been in since 2019! But as always come in the morning for my husbands steak and egg special and my French Toast and bacon. Never disappointed the gem to this little spot is SHARON. A native at the establishment will go out of her way to make sure you enjoy your experience. She cares about her customers and her regulars even more! She knows what you will get every time! Thanks Mel’s till I come back over from Carmichael till next time!! :)

Looking for a last minute brunch spot in our area on a Sunday we stumbled upon this gem. The staff, food and service were excellent. Will definitely return.

Good old fashioned diner feel with jukebox and memorabilia decor. Had breakfast on this visit. The service received was exceptional and the food was good. Didn't have ice cream this time but they have very good ice cream and hand scooped shakes. I especially like the banana split. Good place to get dessert.

It was alright. I dont think I'll come back. Food average and nothing stood out as a wow. A little overpriced.

I was staying at the hotel across the street and had dinner here. Service was very fast and the food was great. Will be returning to eat here again the next time I'm in town

Literal animal crossing diner! Kidding aside, the food was superb and personally, they have huge serving! Milkshake was good too! I love the ambiance there. Really cute interior. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re around the area!

Was here for lunch today, food was absolutely and amazingly delicious, and our waitress and manager,Sharon,was very friendly, outgoing, kind, helpful and very professional, always enjoy coming here!!!:)If you are in the area, please stop in and help support this amazingly awesome, family friendly establishment!!!:)Thank you so very much to the cooks for an amazingly awesome lunch!!!:)

We always had good experience with Mel’s both at Natomas and Folsom and never left either hungry or displeased

The food was like homemade. I was impressed. The interior was fascinating to look at. Love the music players at all the seating booths.
