Step back in time for this classic diner with booth seats, a jukebox and fun atmosphere. Stopped by for a quick bite and wasn't disappointed. Ordered Cheeseburgers and fries which were delicious and had option of choosing 3 different types of cheese to go on burger. Service was quick and server friendly. Favorite item, the onion rings. They were so tasty, really made the meal.
Went in this morning for breakfast at Mel's Diner. Our server Kimberly C. was awesome. Very attentive and really friendly. I got the special two eggs, two pancakes and two meat for $8.99. The pancakes were thick and fluffy. The bacon was good and the eggs were good. It was good for the price. My girl got biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns and scrambled eggs. She enjoyed her meal but was not overly complimentary. I to enjoyed my meal but wasn't super impressed. I'm not saying it was bad because it wasn't just not top tier. The atmosphere is very cool with excellent music and a lot of the girls singing. Has a 50's feel to it on the inside. Really awesome memorabilia on the walls. Mel's is an institution in Pigeon Forge. It's completely worth a visit for breakfast or lunch. I would go back and definitely reccomend a visit.
What a fun experience! The nostalgic atmosphere alone is enough to put a smile on your face. We arrived and were told that will be a 30 minute wait we were given a beeper and we sat in our car and waited and within 15 minutes we were called in. You could hear the music outside, as well as inside. They play some oldies from several eras. My husband ordered the strawberry sundae and I had the chicken salad sandwich. He was in the mood for dessert for dinner, and was completely satisfied sundae. I like the taste of the chicken salad and had what appeared to be may be sweet, relish, and there was a garnish of tomato, lettuce, pickles, and onion, I got the side of fries with it. The fries didn’t disappoint either the staff was really nice and they move people in and out quickly. They’ve got a great system and if you’re in the area I have really recommend you stopping bye they’re open until midnight, but they’re not open on Sundays.
This place was a great experience! Love the music, the atmosphere is very retro. The food was good! I got the catfish and it was some of the best I’ve ever had. My wife got the hotdog and it was okay. Too sweet for me and her. Check this place out!
1st time dining and will definitely repeat. Their staff was super and friendly and our server was very attentive. Pot roast portion was plenty and their kid's meals were just right. Banana Split was enough for 5 people.
