First time here. They’ve been open for only a week. Got seated right away. Ordered the chicken fried steak. It was pretty good. The service was great. Overall, it was a good experience.

Expeditious service, great food. The portions are big, but offer 1/2 portions if you’re not a big eater. Got the chicken fried steak, and it was delicious. The onion rings are huge and made in-house.

The best hand breaded chicken fried steak I’ve had in a long time!! The restaurant is clean and stylish. The wait staff is super friendly and helpful. The menu has a great selection of home cooked favorites. Generous portion sizes including large drink cups. Highly recommend! Our family loved it and will definitely make this place a routine stop!

We were so excited to eat here again because the first time was so great! We stopped for lunch and ordered 2 chicken fried steak sandwiches with fries! Very few fries on each plate and one had a bottom bun that was all tore and just pieced back together. We asked waiter for mayonnaise for our sandwiches and he said ya sure and never brought it back! We saw it sitting on the counter but I’m guessing he was too busy between leaning on the counter and counting tips to bring it! That wasn’t even the worst part! 4 separate times he walked by us to go check on other tables and than back by us and acted like we weren’t even there! We kinda thought that was how it would be when he gave us ticket with our food! But the best part of all was when he brought the mayonnaise over right as we took our last bite! Seriously who does that? The sandwiches were good but the chicken fried steaks needed to be cooked a little bit longer!

He had steak fries with country gravy, mashed potatoes, and steamed carrots. I had lemon pepper chicken over rice with fried okra. The meal started with 2 hot rolls (no butter which he commented on, but that I loved! They tasted so delicious no butter was necessary in my opinion.) He said the only good thing was the steak fingers and the gravy. I tried his steamed carrots. Mushy. My chicken was so overcooked I could barely cut it; it was literally burned. The okra and rice were edible yet flavorless. I would be willing to try again if they’d stop ringing that Mel’s Diner bell when an order is up. You guys don’t charge diner prices, so please, lose the diner order’s up bell.

Very loud. If you want a place to have cozy conversation go elsewhere.

We were on a road trip and ordered ahead by calling in our order. It was ready when we got there with an easy drive thru. The food was delicious! The fried chicken was delicious. The kids menu is great with such reasonable prices! Would definitely order from here again.
