This is a place you shouldn't pass up! It's a great retro diner with neon lights and other decor that will reel you in. When you walk through the door you'll be greeted with a happy face and wonderful atmosphere. Once you find your seat at a booth or the bar, one glance at their menu will have you w
We absolutely loved eating here. It was worth the wait. All the food was fresh and tasted amazing. It’s one of those places you feel like slowing down the pace of life to hang out and catch up. We all ordered the Hamburger steak special and it was 10/10! I would happily recommend this dinner to all
I absolutely love this place. Great atmosphere. Wonderful servers and delicious food.
Great diner fare. Retro feel. Breakfast 24 hours a day. It's great for what it is. It immediately became a family tradition for whenever my mom comes to visit. I spent many late nights/early mornings studying in one of their booths during my bachelor's degree at UL.
There is not much you can say about Mel's other than its a Great place to go for some really good food and an Awesome staff. Annette was just a fabulous waitress with an awesome smile and personality to match and very knowledgeable about the menu items. I spent 4 days here in Lafayette eating 2-3 me
We fell into this place right after a couple of football games so the teens were loud and a bit hyped up. As busy as it was the food was worth the wait. I had the 2 eggs with a meat. The bacon was cooked perfectly and the eggs were very good. Summer provided great service although when I asked for c
The service is amazing I took my mom there today I got chicken fried with mashed potatoes and she got the taco salad we both loved it. The reason I didnt rate it 5 stars was because one small part of my chicken fried steak was raw but I'm still gonna go back and I highly recommend going there open 2
Best pancake you'll put in your mouth. If you get a sandwich for breakfast, get it on grilled texas toast. You'll be glad you did, regular toast was kinda disappointing. Fast service, no wait at all when we went. Prices weren't too bad and food was awesome. Probably my top 3 for breakfast anywhere.
Met the owner halfway through my meal. Great guy ever though his wife owns it. Our waitress was second to none and a delight. Haven't been there since 2011 but I'll be back in the hopes I get the same waitress. Fantastic.
Pretty fast service ! American diner type food, full menu all day! Love that they are 24 hrs.
The cinnamon roll was premade ;(…the grits were ok, had to add a lot of butter and salt. Coffee was weak.
Pancakes were delicious 🤤 service was good
We go here about once a week, so obviously we like it. It's what you would expect of a diner; low prices, good food, fast service, and a variety of options to eat. The food may not be exceptional but it is very good. You'll get enough to satisfy your appetite at a good price. An added bonus is the o
Mel's Diner in Lafayette, LA... Great place overall. It was a bit on the noisy side for my preference. Food was excellent. I ate the eggs & liver w/onions. I would definitely recommend this restaurant as well as the location on Hwy 90. Our waitress was vibrant and professional. Order accuracy was 10
24 hour diner serving breakfast around the clock! The food was great!
Fair dinner food, breakfast is by far their strong suit. Sunday eggs benedict with Mel's biscuits is a delicious and filling. Service is quick and efficient, your in and out quickly, even when crowded.
This is a good little dinner very busy you will likely need to wait to even get in the door but it has a quick turn around and the food is good and comes out pretty quickly.
I’d just like to say the service and food was AMAZING. My waitress, Summer, was super sweet and was amazing. She deserves a raise I had an amazing experience and felt welcomed in the restaurant. I will be coming back and bringing friends
