Best breakfast in town, From our farm fresh three egg omelettes to our made from scratch pancakes. Real sausage gravy and biscuits and of course southern grits. A real diner Messy Burger. Half pound hand pattied sirloin burgers with awesome toppings. The diner fits all appetites. Sissy burgers are great for the small eater and the colossal mess will feed the hungriest eater.

Been driving past this place for years, should have kept driving.... Went in with zero expectations and it's pretty hard to mess up eggs but...
Everything came out cold, greasy and parts of our order were missing or wrong...
The server was nice enough, and I can understand if the place was busy and the order was complicated but none of those factors came into play... the place was empty and we order pretty basic.
The decor was old school diner with cute wall art and the place was very clean so I'll give the place credit for that.
I feel bad for the owner, this place could be a gold mine if they just changed some things...

$36 for 2 people to eat breakfast!
We've been eating at Mel's for years - starting with original owners. Food is pretty much the same - but $36 for eggs, pancakes & coffee. That's ridiculous.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0

Charlotte D.Celebration, FL35113Feb 3, 2024Updated reviewReturned to this cute little diner to check out the changes with the new owners. Go! Patrick and Kelly have done an amazing job transforming this place! Had the shrimp and grits, came out hot, was obviously fresh ingredients, the grits were cheesy and tasty. My husband's breakfast was equally good! So glad we tried it again!

Only some of our food arrived, had to get up and find our own condiments and napkins, and had to go get our check. The food that we did receive was cold. It's a shame, because we really want to like this little diner.
Jaclyn M.Oviedo, Orlando, FL602115Jan 13, 2024The food was very tasty! We had the Skillet with Ham & the Hungry Man! The portions are generous and tasty! Taylor was attentive and very sweet :) It was an enjoyable breakfast. Check them out!

Debbie M.Tampa, FL2197Dec 29, 2023Mel's is back but better! They have been going through some changes but the new owner has brought back the original menu and the food is awesome. I had the 3 egg omelette that was very large packed with fresh vegetables and sausage. Glad we have our Mel's again to enjoy.

This place is great! Was visiting Sanford for the day and was craving a classic breakfast. We got the Biscoff waffles, biscuits and gravy, and chicken and waffles! Everything was delicious and the service was great.
