Cheryl R.

Stopped in for breakfast & its was super tasty! Service was great, the restaurant is dated but its cute, lots of people coming in, looks like locals, we are visiting in Ione

Biscuits and gravy
Henry C.

The food that we ordered was narely average in taste. Biscuits and gravy, French toast, eggs, sausage. The wait staff was slow to get to our table to take our order. It took 25 minutes for our breakfast to arrive, the place was not busy at all. There was a group of 10 local friends show up about 15 minutes after us and they got immediate attention and their drinks arrived faster than ours. We finly got our meals, but less then 5 minutes later, that large group got theirs. I was very disappointed in this place and I have been here a number of times before. I don't think that locals should get better service than us occasional visitors. I am going to consider not eating here again, this left a sour taste in my mind. Average food, slow service. ( The waitress was friendly and did a semi good job, just slow).

Bacon chicken sandwich. So good!
Rebecca R.

This place a gem. Thought it got great reviews because there aren't many options in the area but it surprised us. Hubby got the grilled bacon chicken sandwich and raved about it. I got the patty melt. My lord! Drool! And the fries are thick and clearly hand cut. Whenever we're back in the area, we will certainly try more items.

They could have said that they were closed Wednesdays on Yelp

The food here is excellent and so is the service. The bartender, Bailey was welcoming and friendly and treated us to a number of personalized, unique and flavorful craft cocktails. She was incredibly knowledgeable and even made the raspberry rose syrup herself! We were very impressed. She went above and beyond to make our experience here enjoyable. We enjoyed a delicious appetizer and both had lunch as well. Everything tasted very good, but the fries were incredible. Some of the best I've had! I would definitely recommend a stop here to anyone in the area. The hotel has a lot of history and we were hoping to get a tour and learn about the prohibition basement and see the pool, but unfortunately we ran out of time on this visit. I look forward to returning and seeing more of this hotel and hopefully seeing more of our amazing server as well!

We stayed at the National and went to Luka's 2 nights in a row. Our first night was prime rib,…read morewhich knocked our socks off with how perfectly it was seasoned and perfectly cooked. It was late afternoon in the dining room, and it was quiet and lovely. The second night it was hard not to get the prime rib again. Saturday night, no reservations and we were seated in the outdoor patio just before sunset and it was gorgeous. We started with the clam chowder, which is thick and creamy and everything clam chowder should be and often isnt. There are signs announcing that Luka's won the chowder cookoff several years in a row. I had to order it, even tho it was in the 90s during the day. If you like chowdah, get you some. You'll be happy you did. He had the generous Shrimp Louie salad and I had the clams and mussel with foccacia. Lots of yum. For dessert was an apple cobbler with ice cream. Oh boy. The hot flaky pie crust was so good! Both nights the service was attentive and warm. The food was super and we had a wonderful time. 100% recommend!

We sat at the bar and received a friendly greeting from the bartender. I decided to try something out of my box and had the spicy cucumber margarita which I really enjoyed. For our light bites, we had the Bavarian Pretzel with the smoked Gouda cheese and it was truly gooda!! The pretzel was soft and chewy the way a pretzel ought to be and the cheese was yummy. We also had a cup of clam chowder and I thought it was so good! Kind of unexpected for a small restaurant in the foothills but it was cooked nice and thick with the right amount of clams. People next to us had this amazing looking gigantic cheeseburger that made me wish I was hungrier! I would definitely recommend!

This is my first time coming here. I usally dont have a chance to eat out as much as I would like,…read morebut vecause of work, I was able to try here since I've seen it a few times as i pass by for work. I dont come to Jackson CA, city that often other than work, but i was hungry to try somewhere new. At first, coming in, made it feel very old school and homey feeling. Still holding on to traditional looks and feels. I love that about this place. When it came to seating me and ordering, it was pretty quick, I did pop in at about 2ish and got my food at about 245, not bad on time but it was the lunch hour rush, I couldnt expect much. I order the sourdough burger and i got it with the 1/3pound patty instead of the 1/4 pound. I believe it was the best choice for this kind of burger and I dont think it was a bad choice either. I really recommended this place, especially since its been here for 70+ years! Thank you for a good time and for the food!

Mel & Faye's isn't just a diner to us... it's home…read more This place will always hold a special spot in our hearts. We moved out of state, and we still haven't found...and probably never will find...another place quite like Mel & Faye's. It's the food, the drinks, the service, but more than anything, it's the people. My go-to is the cranberry walnut salad with chicken (so good!), and Sean loves the sourdough burger. The food is always great, but honestly, we come back for the atmosphere and the people who make this place feel like family. Mary is always a hoot as our server, and we absolutely love the entire staff. Bart and Maura have created something really special here, and we appreciate them more than they know. Every time we come back to town, one of the things we look forward to most is walking through those doors, seeing familiar faces, catching up, and feeling right at home again. We miss everyone when we're away, but it makes our visits that much more special. Mel & Faye's will always be our home away from home.

I ordered a breakfast burger which was delicious. Comes with cheese bacon and a sunny side up fried egg on top. If you want a different style cooked egg, eg hard cooked you have to ask. Also comes with lettuce, tomato, fresh and pickled onion plus you can ask for ketchup and mustard. Great size, delicious and the bun was like no other. They also have gluten free buns. I got smashed red potatoes as my side, also delicious. I opted for water, it's "strawberry" water so has the essence of strawberries. The large pitcher which they serve from has big ripe strawberries. What a refreshing treat instead of plain or lemon water. My mom and I had a very nice breakfast, again the customer service was excellent and the woman owner chatted with us, was quite friendly and personable. Again she was just a delight. I can't wait to go back and try some other menu items. Reasonable priced, please tip your waiter, their customer service and care is amazing.
