Seriously was one of the places in this part of Sacramento for a well cooked meal without having to use your entire savings account for .... I had the California eggs Benedict... Had fresh sliced avocado and tomato that pairs perfect with there sauce!! Mmmm

The restaurant was mostly empty. Vagrants near the parking lot. Stressed out waiter. And the food was not as good as it was just a few short months ago. It just made for a bad experience. I just left a tip because they are losing a customer.

Das Original Mels American Diner gibt es schon seid 1947. Es ist sehr cool eingerichtet und erinnert an die 50iger. Der Burger hat super geschmeckt, aber wurde eher außergewöhnlich angerichtet. Das Service ist auch erwähnenswert, da super freundlich und engagiert. Zusätzlich gibt es da einen Wurlitzer (Jukebox), die von jedem Tisch aus gesteuert werden kann, auch nice. Zusammenfassend kann ich einen Besuch im Mels sehr empfehlen. Wheelchair accessibility: Großzügiger Eingang, alles ebenerdig und im Lokal gibt es auch genügend Platz

Great Americana food. Blue plate specials bring back a lot of memories. We shared a Creamsicle shake, which was delightful!

Outstanding, as usual! On this day there just seemed to be a larger than normal group of panhandlers in the parking lot.
