Mel’s Diner

Typical diner fare and atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good food. Quick service. FANTASTIC prices! Entire breakfast slightly over $ 3! I will return! :-).

When looking for well done, priced right, breakfast faire, this is the place. Friendly wait staff. Retro feel. I ordered Flo’s Special (2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage patties, 2 biscuits, and gravy) for $ 5.99. My compadres ordered the western omelet for $ 5.99, Mel’s Omelet $ 5.99, and a Flo’s Special. The biscuits were amazing. Crispy outside with a fluffy inside. Bacon was thin, but crispy. Coffee was surprisingly yummy. Very flavorful! Mel’s diner is an unassuming, reasonably price, out of the way breakfast must. Hours are 6AM-​3PM daily. Breakfast and lunch served all business hours.

This is always a stop in when we visit Paducah. My husband really likes this place.
The breakfast for the price you really can not beat it. I had the vegetable omelet. It was very good and not over loaded like some places. Plus the cheese was mild and not the cheap packaged sliced American that kids like. The vegetables cooked to perfection for an omelet.
My husband said his eggs over easy were perfect. Not under nor over cooked. He had bacon, hash browns and toast. He cleaned his plate and said too bad I can’t eat more.
So with all the bragging one might wonder why only FOUR stars. Well the waitress was nice but took my Husband’s and Brother In Law’s orders FIRST. What ever happened to LADIES FIRST? Very ill mannered in MY Book.

Oh I wanted to like this place so much. Overrun with flies and the food was just ok. Server was friendly, but it couldn’t overcome the mediocre food

I love the prices and the atmosphere hey have here.
Kinda hidden and seems many don’t know about it but a great little spot to run by on the way to work. Quick and friendly service.
