Another fabulous dinner at Mel's! Had rib special. Fall off the bone perfect. Generous portions. Will come back often!

For a diner in Naples, this place is okay. Not one I'd plan to visit on purpose, but usually just as a convenient comfort food stop in a pinch. As you walk in, you see the historic decor that reminds you of an old time diner and that's kinda nice. And the menu with all the options is a plus. From breakfast to full out dinner style entrees, you'd be hard pressed to not find something to eat. My three star review comes from the service and the fact that we both weren't feeling great later that night. That didn't stop me from eating the leftovers the next day because the country fried steak was so delicious, and my moms hamburger and onion rings with special sauce were also yummy. The waitress was less than friendly, and just seemed annoyed to be working that day. Maybe she was just having an off day but either way, when asked about our food since it was taking a very long time to appear, she gave a short response that she was waiting for it. Instead of apologizing for the delay which is a customer service basic. Oh well! Atmosphere - good Food - great Price - good Service - meh read more

Today, I had a Mediterranean omelette with grits and pancakes for lunch. I held off the onions. And I had a mix of sprite and sweet tea to drink. I have had this delicious omelette two days in a row. I would definitely recommend Mel's Diner. read more

You ever like a place so much that you go there twice in one day? Well, we ended up doing that on our recent trip to Naples and Mel's diner delivered two quality meals for us. We started off with breakfast. It took me 10 minutes just to go through the menu as it was humungous. Our food came out in no time and was very satisfying. The portions, quality, service and the price points were really good. Fast forward to later in the day, and if you're like us and not from Naples, you don't realize that basically everything in this town is either closed on Sundays or closes early on Sundays. Mel's was open. We called in our to go order and it was ready 20 minutes later. I got there and was showed our order assuring that everything was correct and the staff couldn't have been nicer. So after eating Mel's for breakfast and dinner, the next time I'm in Naples I'll have to check out their lunch as I'm sure it won't disappoint. read more

Great experience at Mel's Diner. Our server Jessica was amazing. Kids were cranky and Jessica brought us paper, crayons and stickers. It worked like a charm and we were able to order and have dinner with out any other meltdowns. Food was good, servings were more than generous and price was reasonable. High point was service. Ask to sit in Jessica's section and you won't be disappointed. My drink never got below half empty and she served us with a smile. She had a great attitude and obviously likes her job and kids. As far as the kids were concerned the emoji and tsum tsum stickers Jessica brought from home were the best ever! And I quote "this chocolate milk is the best I have ever had in my life" that's five long years which they have been deprived of chocolate syrup for anyone wondering :). The strawberry smoothie also got a great review "amazing, look, it has real strawberries, yummy." This was our second visit and went Saturday early evening. Although they were busy we got a table right away and the service was on point. Definitely will be back next time we are in Naples and ask for Jessica again. read more

What a great place! We enjoy the hometown diner feel every time we are in Naples. The food is always great and the service is exceptional. Thank you Jessica for incredible service and the carrot cake was perfect ;) read more

This place is fantastic! Try to go on a busy night when you have a wait because one of the best parts is getting to watch the magician and his card tricks while you wait for your table. He has a great personality and has fantastic tricks. You can't miss it! The food is wonderful from start to finish. The homemade biscuits taste like warm fresh biscuits your grandmother would make. The salad is fresh and crisp and chopped up perfectly. We got lobster tails, ribs, grouper- all the meals were fantastic! The service was impeccable- super quick and very kind. The price can't be beat!! Don't forget to end your night with a key lime pie! read more

We went for breakfast. I got the pot roast skillet and my husband got the biscuits and gravy. Both were delicious and was more than we could eat. Our server, Adriana, was the best! Make sure to ask for her when you go! You won't be disappointed! read more

The food was good except for the chicken because of how dry it was, but the service was the worst part, it was absolutely terrible, The waiter we had didn't even go near our table, I couldnt even get a refill of water because of her ignorance and it took forever to get our food! I could've had a whole hair appointment by the time she finally got back with our bill. read more

I think three stars is fair, because the food was fresh and good, now the negative part the hostess was kind of rude, definitely not friendly and in a rush, clearly didn't want to be at work. She rushed to our table to drop off/ throw down our menus didn't even look back for us, no greeting just off to the next. Sometimes you wonder ok is it just me but nope she clearly did this to other customers as well so finally making it to out table, a party of three we noticed that on the both chair customers had left crumbs all over the seat so before sitting down we asked our waitress to please clean it for us as she rolled her eyes and walked away to grab a rag, this was our first time and last, I would order takeout or if you have to dine in don't expect much hospitality. read more

First time here and I loved it! Honestly by the looks of it from the outside, it looks very old style and vintage, I wanted to eat somewhere more modern and new - but don't let that fool you! The portion sizes are huge and the food is definitely yummy! I ordered the egg breakfast burrito and it came with roasted shredded potatoes and I also ordered separately a side of grits (a must have for breakfast) and everything was delicious! Super glad I checked this place out and the next time I'm in Naples, will definitely go again! read more

Old school feel and I was definitely the youngest person there . I had the fish sandwich and fries and the serving size was huge . I think this is a place that my granny would definitely appreciate so I will take her to try out for sure . Our waiter was very attentive and checked in on us frequently read more

Quintessential example of a true Americana diner. Love the service and the food was DYNAMITE! Will come back over and over when I'm in town. Prices are FANTASTIC! read more

It was hard for me to decide on 3 or 4 stars. This is your basic old-school "diner". A nice-sized menu gives you plenty of options. Many of the locals rave about Mel's. This was my second time there - once many years ago, and once just recently. Both times my experience was decent. The food is solid. This time I had the prime rib - just to treat myself. It was a nice cut - not overly fatty, and it tasted good. Not great, but good. The sides of baked potato and salad were on the spot. Service was good. We didn't have the friendliest waiter, but he got the job done accurately and efficiently and he wasn't rude or anything. What puts this place past 3 stars is the selection on the menu as well as the old-time diner atmosphere. The menu has everything from big dinners (prime rib, ribs, etc) to patty melts to open-faced sandwiches and beyond. If you can't find something to eat here, well, you should be able to find something. The atmosphere is cool - lots of the old 60's style memorabilia and music. It's pleasant to sit around and soak it in. Our wait to be seated was quoted at 20 minutes (which felt low compared to all the people waiting), but was more like 5. If that. So kudos to their efficiency. For me, this isn't an "ohmygod" place to rave about, but it is a solid standby for a good meal at a reasonable price. I keep hearing the burgers are great - I must try one before I head home! read more

This is my first time here, came for a quick breakfast with my bud James who likes this place very much. I had the ham, eggs and home fries. The service and the breakfast were very good. I wish I could tell you more.... read more

Not a big fan of their breakfast but love the variety they have for lunch and dinner specials. We haven't been disappointed yet. Be prepared for feeling rushed as they push an in and out kind of service but the food is exactly what you would expect from a diner. Have to give it a try, then judge for yourself! read more

We are visiting for 3 days Came upon this restaurant by accident and we will be back each morning! Breakfast was incredible. Service is excellent. Our waitress Anjeza was the best ever!! I can't imagine a better breakfast. I am sure lunch and dinner is just as wonderful. See you all tomorrow! read more

Mel's Diner - Diners Near Me - Naples, Florida

It's not the Mel's we have known from the past years. Four of us had lunch Wednesday at 11:15 am. The food; chicken tenders looked and tasted good, blue plate cabbage rolls needed some flavoring, short stack were ok but we ordered a full stack, other short stack was ordered with pecans but no pecans. The waitress said she would bring pecans we said no but she brought them anyway. The pecans were cold and hard since they had not be cooked inside the pancakes. Anyway the bill came and we did not want to pay for the pecans so they deleted them. We did not mention the full stack- we just said to ourselves this was the last Mel's diner experience for us read more

I don't make this place a regular spot for my family and I but whenever we go there, it's consistently good. As stated in previous reviews, this is not Morton's or Flemings.... You get a fair meal for fair price. The servers are appreciative and kind to the children which you won't find at a lot of places in Naples. I remain a Mel's fan. read more

We've been coming to Mel's for years but I had to review today's visit. Had Teresa as a waitress.... Dumber than dirt!!! Asked for half a cup of coffee and whole milk. She filled coffee to the brim tiny drop of milk. Honey, sweetie, meandering, eating her food behind the waitress station! Waited forever for eggs and a burger! Will come again.... Never at her station!! read more

Mel's is a steady, measured, feel good Naples landmark. The food is an excellent value, the service is outstanding, thank you Donna. It's the kind of neighborhood diner that brings back memories of diners from your past and childhood. We had the Rueben sandwich with fries, pickle and slaw, flawless and the shrimp dinner. The martinis and Cosmo specials are perfect. read more

Always the Best Buy and great taste. We frequently did carry-out during the pandemic because we wanted them to be here after the shut down. So glad we can always count on a great miner-meal at Mel's! read more

Awful! Ordered take-out. Cheeseburgers, ordered well done - they were browned (slightly) on the outside and almost raw inside. Burgers placed in container on top of tomato and pickle making bottom bun soaking wet. No seasoning detected on the meat. Fries tasteless - no seasoning detected. Carry out bag--no napkins or condiments. Server not even trying to be friendly. No idea why anyone would eat there! I will never go back. read more

Mel's is definitely a good place for a quick bite and diner food. The burgers are yummy, classic American style. The food is delightful, good for what you order. I felt as though it was a bit overpriced. The dining area is a bit run-down but the bathroom was SO nice. I would come here again. read more

We went to Mel's Diner on Easter Sunday for dinner. Our party ordered the prime rib, turkey dinner, chopped steak, and ribs along with drinks. the drinks were perfect! not too strong and definitely not weak. Our meals were all served quickly, cooked to perfection and delicious! The greatest part of our visit to Mel's in addition to food was the service! Jessica our waitress was Amazing! The best! We had a great time! Definitely a must try and if you decide to give Mel's a try ask to be seated at Jessica's section! read more

Came here with my family for a quick breakfast. This is the first time I came to this Mel's Diner. I ordered the chopped steak with eggs and potatoes. It was DELICIOUS!! My daughter ordered the kid's sausage and eggs and she LOVED the eggs. Unfortunately, the father of my kid's did not like his burrito. They used some type of sun dried tomato tortilla which gave it a weird taste. He couldn't even swallow it down. So he just ended up getting eggs and toast. He was not amused that day. read more

I was in naples over the weekend and stopped by mels diner. Exactly what a diner is supposed to feel like and food taste like. I had breakfast eggs were cooked perfect, hash browns were delicious, and sausage links were quality. Coffee had a lighter flavor in the best way and got me ready for the day. I would recommend. read more

This place has great staff, really nice food and a really darling aesthetic. It is also pretty affordable! I would suggest this place for a nice first date or just a dinner with your family! read more

Cute little spot. We ordered the greek salad with grilled salmon and it was huge! We ended up splitting the huge portion and being somewhat full already because we also ate a small playe of ceasar salad before hand. We also got the strip steak to split and it was also just as big and came with mashed potatoes and gravy (Awsome) the value was great and you get your moneys worth. Strip steak unfortuantly was very bland and tasteless and didnt really seem like a strip. Staff is awsome and very polite, id visit again. read more
