Mel's Diner

The diner leans directly into its age, where the dated decor is the whole theme. Orders from the kitchen run to unpretentious comfort, from breakfast burritos and Belgian waffles to thick strawberry cheesecake shakes. The room stays brisk and down-to-earth, pairing fast service and reasonable prices with an easygoing staff that handles solo counter visits just as smoothly as tables with kids.
