We often visit Mel's Diner in Fremont when we're servicing our cars, and it's always a fun little…read morestep back in time. Given the recent storms hitting the Fremont area nonstop, we figured we'd support this local mom-and-pop spot for lunch this weekend. We walked in and were quickly seated at a booth near the kitchen window and the lunch counter stools. The greeting was prompt, and drink orders were taken--iced tea and Coke Zero. Yep, this little diner is proudly a Coke Zero establishment. Classic! I usually get the club sandwich, but this time I took a moment to consider if I should branch out. But, I ended up sticking with my original choice. I went for the club with tots, crispy of course. My husband opted for the Big Bopper Burger and crinkle fries. While we waited for our food, we chatted, checked our phones, and had a little people-watching session. One memorable moment was watching a toddler trying to feed boogers to a teenager. Classic diner experience! I couldn't help but overhear the servers gossiping at the lunch counter while rolling silverware, occasionally letting out a few choice words. I'm not one to judge, but it is a business, and I can't help but wonder if that might bother other customers. On top of that, I overheard them questioning whether a to-go order looked right before boxing it up. Makes you wonder... After what felt like an eternity, our food finally arrived. My tots were supposed to be crispy, but they were more like soggy, sad little bites of disappointment. I could tell they'd been fried crispy and sat around too long. The club sandwich was good, as always, though I wish the toast had been a little crispier. I get it, though; that happens when a sandwich sits in the window for a bit. My husband didn't have complaints about his burger, but there was one odd thing. The fries on his plate were barely there. He had just a scattering of a few cold ones. The server then mentioned they were making him a fresh order of fries, which left me wondering: did he get leftover fries from a previous order, or whatever was left in the fry basket? It seemed a bit off. He said the fries on his plate were cold, so I guess the mystery of leftover fries remains unsolved. Unfortunately, this was the most disappointing meal we've ever had at Mel's. I'm not sure I'll be in a hurry to return next time I'm in the area. It's still a cute spot with a lot of potential, but it fell short this time.

I don't understand the 4-5 star ratings. I ordered a cheeseburger, figured that a Diner…read morecheeseburger would either be thick and juicy or smashed (my favorite).. It was neither, it was a dried out, pale, tasteless, frozen patty. I only ate it because I was starving. Then the waitress "accidently" brought a Coke instead of water, asked if I wanted it anyway so she didn't have to throw it out, so I took it. She said I would not be charged, I WAS charged. We got there are 11:15 a.m., not many customers inside, still took more than 30 minutes to receive our food. Too bad my husband didn't read our bill before paying, never again will I visit this place.

DP ordered Lemon Berry Pancakes, a plate-filing short stack of goodness. I'd like to say it tasted as good as it looked, but I couldn't tell as DP chowed down like a hound from hell. In a good way, of course. She did allow me to share her Maple Braised Bacon (meaning that I was able to snatch a piece while she wasn't looking). Really, really fine, something I'd definitely order again. For me. Not to share. I had the Schnitzel Bennie with tart cherry jam and lemon hollandaise. Sound unusual? Tasted great! My only gripe was that the pork cutlet was a bit small and could have used a bit more seasoning in the breading. Would I order it again? You betcha! Service was fast and efficient. The decor was quirky and inviting but the space was loud enough that it was really hard to carry a conversation. Overall rating: yahoo!

Fabulous!!!!! Will be back!…read more Atmosphere was fun. Checked tableclothes, super fun salt and peppers shakers, chalkboard dessert menus. Even the restroom had fun things to read and look at on the walls. Loved the vibe. Husband thought it was too loud and busy. He would like to be in permanent quarantine I think. Not many places even attempt the Monte Cristo sandwich and when I saw it on the menu I had to! Love love love a good Monte Cristo! It did not disappoint! Fantastic! Would have liked the raspberry sauce to be a little more fruit and not so gel but it had an amazing flavor so was not too much distraction from the whole picture. The homemade broccoli salad was delish. Finished off my meal with a German Chocolate cake whirl. Wow! Husband got the Poor Man steak (- onion) and a salad and cottage cheese. He was already crabby cause I drug him out of the house to go to the vets office with the dog and a large bill.... so when the salad came with chopped cucumbers on it the grimacing from across the table was almost more than I could take. No worries the flavor of the gravy which he thought was homemade was enough to win him over. And a homemade butterfinger whirl turned even a grumpy farmer into a fan. Koi
