Hidden Gem of Manayunk. After passing this place 100 times, my girlfriend and I finally decided to give Bob's Diner a break and stop into Mel's for breakfast. Breakfast was great, place is cute (a little small) and quaint. Breakfast was good and a more than generous portion. We like breakfast so much we ended up ordering lunch for delivery. Lunch was amazing, the soup and quesadilla were unreal.... do yourself a favor and try for yourself.
You won't leave hungry. I've had a couple of lunches at Mel's and neither has disappointed. Went once myself and had the Chicken Cutlet Parm. The cutlets are house made and the sandwich was huge. I barely touched the fries I got on the side (they were good, but I couldn't put the sandwich down!).
The second time I went with three co-workers and we all were extremely happy. I had the roast pork with prov, which was sublime. Another co-worker had the chic parm at my suggestion. The other two had a breakfast burrito and a turkey club and both raved.
My wife also tried it one Saturday and didn't stop talking about the roasted pork Italiano for days.
A must try!
I discovered this place by accident about 3 weeks ago. I had the Roast Pork Italiano with roasted homemade hot peppers and I think it's the best in town. Since then I have been back several times and have had an excellent meal each time. The cheeseburgers blow away Five Guys and the turkey is made fresh daily.
I also like the fact that they serve breakfast all day, especially for those days I may be a little hungover. They have had different soup choices each day which I have enjoyed. I loved the crab corn chowder. It is addicting. I have recommended this place to everyone I know.
The best breakfast and lunch counter in Philadelphia. Every single thing is made w love and care. The staff is 100% phenomenal and super nice. The have crayons and paper form my daughter.If I had the money I'd eat here 2 meals a day. They have outdoor seating with umbrellas. Enjoy
A small local spot with delicious fare. There is always something good for breakfast and lunch here. A family favorite brunch spots that does take out as well. A friendly staff is always waiting with a great daily special and a smile
Quick & Friendly service, delicious & filling food and reasonable prices. Great 'go-to' spot for a bite to eat. Haven't had anything bad here. Only annoyance is the lack of seating. Parking close to the restaurant can also sometimes be a bit difficult.
“Great customer service. Usually very early before the arrival time today it came later and he had great customer service and told me to keep the food. Thank you Mel’s kitchen absolutely the best!”
I think mels original google maps pin was deleted somehow, so I guess I’ll be the first to review the new one. I love the food here, and highly recommend jc’s breakfast creation. It’s a phenomenal idea, but if I could change one thing it would be to use thinner bacon. The thick bacon she uses is on the hammier side
Their breakfasts are pretty good. Another restaurant that wasn't quite open yet suggested I go there since they were closed
Thanks for correcting my
Order. This food and service is amazing. We will be ordering again.
My roommate is orders the turkey club once a week, would recommend!
I always get the Double Down for lunch.
Great food and awesone staff
Great breakfast sandwiches
