    Very retro, love the jukebox! Great breakfast menu, decent coffee, amazing burgers and milkshakes! Try the lime milkshake, sounds weird but it tastes really good!

    The French Skillet is the bomb. Crispy chicken and potatoes covered in hollandaise sauce.

    Good ol' Mel's is back, and slightly bigger than before. It's almost as good as before, but they seem to have taken hash browns off most egg meals.

    When you order scrambled eggs, don't be surprised if you get an omelette. That's just how they scramble their eggs. True story.

    Check out the awkward setup of the men's washroom! Don't miss the spring loaded taps!

    Mel's Favourite (standard 2 egg, 1 meat breakfast) isn't on the menu, but is on the chalkboard. $4.99.

    Worst breakfast ever! Freezer burnt french toast with no butter. No jam for toast. Very undercooked eggs! Gross! Good servers though, can't blame it on them, get a new cook.

    Service is considerably slower in the evenings and night. Food is mediocre but I'll come here once in a while for Mel's fave

    The chicken Parmesan was not as good as I expected, the service was slow but the servers were nice.

    Just like the old Mel's but with sprinklers. (Too soon?)

    The service is still slow and has not improved. The food wasn't that good this time around.

    I find mel's has a high price menu and the food lacks taste.
