I came in twice at night and my food was so delicious. I usually get skillets , mozzarella sticks & French toast. The service at night is excellent as well. I came in today for lunch to get the French toast again & it was horrible so was the service. Very eggy, no flavor and I sent them back. They remade them and they were still horrible.

First impressions make a big impact. The restaurant is so cute from the outside with its decorative black and white checkered tiles and neon sign! There is plenty of parking in their lot and on the street. The diner looks clean both inside and out. I was greeted within seconds by not one, but two friendly servers. The excellent customer service continued throughout my meal. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger. It was cooked to perfection. The burger was the perfect density. The Swiss cheese was stringy in that good way where you take a bite and pull away with a cheese trail. The first were crispy and tasty. I saw several shakes being made and they were gorgeous. I was envious! None for me this time. Gotta catch a flight. Until next time...

I'm a fan of the Mel's on Howe, but I recently visited the J St. location for the first time. Pros: they have generous, delicious, and reasonable daily specials. Service was very prompt and the food came out quickly. I got the eggs florentine which was delicious and a massive portion that kept me full most of the day. One thing I noticed was that I didn't hear any music for a while until I think someone at a booth used their jukebox--this created a bit of a cold ambiance in comparison with the Howe location. We also were not offered refills on any of our drinks until the bill came. If I am in the area again and need breakfast I will probably return just because it is a great value.

Earlier tonight, my partner and I sat down to have our dinner. I saw the driver of a Dodge Ram parked next to my truck that was TOO DAMN close. When I saw this driver walk into the restaurant, which was one of the cooks.When it was time for us to pay for our dinner and leave, I knew I couldn't get in my truck and had my partner come back inside to ask a manager to find out who drives that truck and request to move, please. After 5 minutes, still did not come out to move his truck. My partner is hearing and asked multiple times. It's in the customer parking lot in front of this restaurant. I am Deaf and have bad knees that I am required to make some room to get in my truck, eventually, I am 6'7" and like a football player, a stocky body here. What kind of customer services does The Original Mels serve? POOR, NEGATIVE, and they are not respecting the disabled in the community at all. This cook should be disciplined or let him go. I am eventually going to file the BBB on this restaurant.WE WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN

Thank goodness there's a late night spot that isn't a dennys. This location was a cute one. I first like that they have security, because midtown can be sketch sometimes. Secondly the staff was friendly. Third, my toddler liked playing with the jukebox. And fourth, the cornbread was so good.
