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.

My wife and I have visited Highway House numerous times--at least once a month over the last few…read moreyears. Our last visit was the fourth time now that we have gone and they have run out of an item. This was around 6pm. We hadn't been in for a couple months, but they have now completely stripped the menu. No more pork chops, no more fried shrimp dinner--lunch portion only now. We also were not given bread. Not sure if they have decided to just cut back on things, but it just isn't the same as it used to be. It's unfortunate, because it's a nice place and the staff is always very friendly. But they have so few options now and it just isn't worth it for us anymore.

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.

This particular RT has very friendly and helpful staff. I told them I wanted extra cheese and they honored that and then some, which is really hard to get at some other locations, even when you pay extra for it. Over the past year I have noticed a huge improvement at this location. Not sure if it is due to new management or new franchise ownership or both, but I wanna give these guys an atta boy and GREAT JOB! Thank you. Now if we could only get all the RT's to go back to ye old-fashioned dim lighting with booths rather than the more open cafe look, that would greatly improve ambience, at least for me. But as a RT, these guys get 5-stars across the board and not deducting points for ambiance because that is my personal preference and with the franchise deal, they may not have a choice.

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!

Two rooms, one has lots of tall bar seating and one room has regular sit down tables. Service was really good. Our server was very attentive. We ordered the bbq wings and giant pretzel for appetizers. The wings were delicious and moist and the pretzel was fluffy and hot! They were delicious! The disappointment was in my sandwich. I ordered the gobbler. It was a combo of hot and cold. The bottom bread was soggy and the turkey and cheese being hot with the Cole slaw and cranberry relish being cold gave it a weird taste. I didn't like it. Sadness but the fries that came with it was great! So crispy! My husband's bbq tri tip sandwich he liked but didn't like because he said the chimichuri sauce was not good with the tri tip.. he had to scrape that off and added bbq sauce. Overall I think it's a hit and miss. But I will be back to try other items.
