    The Reuben.
    Steven P.

    I got a Reuben and home fries. The sandwich had little meat and the home fries were cold. This was after 11 PM but just so you know, they're not making it fresh, that's for sure. I might have known it, as I took it to go and asked how long it would be and the cashier told me "less than 5 minutes". At least I survived!

    We wanted a quick breakfast after a long morning of yard work, and the overall experience was second to none. We arrived and was seated quickly, great ambiance with a family friendly feel. Our server was outstanding, and the coffee easily the best we've had. The pork chops were delicious, very well seasoned, and with the eggs, hash browns and toast was a great breakfast addition. The Pancakes were very nice, soaked up the syrup nicely. The grits were made fresh and was definitely worth the wait. Best breakfast we've had in a while.

    Great breakfast! Our first time there and would definitely recommend for breakfast. We were in town for a couple of hours and just got done with our appointment and it was still breakfast time. It was recommended to us so we decided to try. The ambience and setting was reminiscent of the old school diner look and feel. Our server was very friendly and our food was delivered expeditiously, which surprised us because they were extremely busy. Gotta try when in Broussard, LA.

    About the only option other than Waffle House for a late night hot meal. Been twice and both times it was great! Love the atmosphere and the food was actually really good and not expensive.

    Reminiscent of a 1950's style diner down to the neon lights, Mel's is such a fun place to eat! The walls are adorned in Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and James Dean photos and Norman Rockwell paintings. The food is your basic diner fare, nothing fancy but hits the spot especially if you're in the mood for Waffle House-esq grub with a much cooler vibe. I got the western omelet and hash browns and had to try one of the biscuits they claim to be the best in the world. The omelet and hash browns were decent but the biscuit truly was one of the best I've tasted. I had to stop myself from ordering another it was so good. It was very good all on it's own, too. I didn't need any butter or jelly, just savored the delicious light fluffy flavor all on it's own. Do yourself a favor and order at least one biscuit when you go! Service was not great on our visit. The waitress rushed us and forgot several items that our table ordered. I'm hoping that was just a one time thing and would go back to Mel's in spite of that, just hope to not get that same waitress-haha. Take a step back in time and visit Mel's! It's definitely worth trying!
