Burger with curly fries. Burger good fries nope. The fries were barely fried. - A burger with a sesame seed bun, lettuce, and other ingredients is partially wrapped in white paper. Next to it are curly fries, served on a sheet of white paper. The food is placed on a beige surface, likely in a casual dining setting.

Fun little diner before you hit nephi. The seasoned fries were great and so were the burgers. great flavor and buy portions. The milkshake didn't really have any flavor or toppings in it. The onions chips not good. But I love a good small diner and I want it to do well so if you go stick with the burger and season fries. It's also hot inside so plan on eating outside if you go in the summer. The owner was great and so was the service.

The image shows a glass door with a gold-colored frame, featuring a welcome message, an open sign, and business hours for Mel's Place. The door has a reflection of the street outside, including a sidewalk, some snow, and buildings. The signage indicates the business is open and provides hours from Monday to Saturday. There is also a sticker showing accepted payment methods and a note that the business is closed on Sundays.

Found this gem on accident and it's amazing. Everyone's food was perfectly prepared. Even if we showed up 15 minutes before close. 15 out of 10 recommend.

Grilled ham and cheese with battered fries, and single cheeseburger with onion bites. - The image shows a cheeseburger with lettuce, cheese, and a beef patty wrapped in paper, accompanied by battered potato wedges on a paper-lined basket. In the background, there is a serving of fries and a sandwich with a toasted bun. A large white cup with a blue straw is also visible on the table, which is covered with a paper placemat featuring a pumpkin and a coffee grinder illustration. Part of a person wearing a black shirt is seen in the background, sitting at the table.

This is a great mom and pop shop in Mona, Utah. Traffic came to a standstill on I-15 and lucky for us, Google took us down Main Street in Mona to bypass the back up. So we stopped at Mel's on Main st. Very friendly staff and great service and food.

The food is fresh and so delicious! It's a cute little diner in a cute little town in Juab County. Highly recommended!

We came from Manti, UT for a viewing. They were out of everything we wanted at the drive thru that…read morewe were at in Manti so we decided to drive to Nephi which was about 50 minutes away. We Googled the closest drive thru ands came across Nebo Queen. It was dark by the time we got there and we saw a menu board on the side of the building. This sign was black with no backlighting in the menu items and had the prices on a white background. We could only see the prices. We thought that was odd so we drove to the end of the building and found the same menu board that was lit up. That was really weird. My brother-in-law ordered a grill cheese with tater tots, my wife ordered chicken nuggets with ranch, and I ordered a mushroom burger with tater tots. My brother-in-law was starving so in think he just inhaled his food without tasting it. He said he liked it. Btw, how hard is it to screw up a grill cheese sandwich? My burger was over $9. It was as small as a hamburger from McDonald's. It had Swiss cheese, barely any mushrooms, and 3 pickles on it. McDonald's hamburger tastes like a gourmet burger compared to this. It was greasy, the pickles did not have any business being in the burger, and it was OVERPRICED!!! The tater tots were greasy and the tater tots that I had at the Intermountain Care Hospital cafeteria in Midvale, was 1000% better! My wife's chicken nuggets were also greasy but also tasted like grease. It had the texture of fried fish. My brain was confused. We paid $30.10 for the bill and got the feeling like we just ate all the grease at Long John Silver. At least when you eat at L.J.S. the flavor is good. Skip this place and go to Mc Donald's. You'll pay less and won't feel like you're going to break out in zits afterwards.

Was down in Nephi for a volleyball tournament (all-day) and when there was a break I ventured out…read moreto see what I miss every time I drive North or South on I-15. I passed Nebo Queen a couple of times and thought - "I'm really craving a Hot Dog!" - so I pulled in (didn't do drive-thru, I went in) "Small Town Greasy Spoon" sure, but I expected (wanted) nothing less. I ordered the Foot-Long Deluxe dog (all the fixings) and got it to go. A little over 5 minutes and I had my dog in my hand, and I just opened the bag and started to eat it by my car. The staff was super friendly and kind - even though it was kinda busy. Paid a little over $6 but overall, a solid hot dog with good toppings (grilled onion, cheese, lettuce, mayo, ketchup, relish)! At first, I wished it was a little more...but when I finished, I was satisfied. Sure I could've gone to the "big national chain" spots, but I like to support local businesses- yes, even the small-town greasy spoons! Would I go back? Sure would! Normally I would've got the combo (fries / onion rings / fried cheese curds) but like I said, I just wanted a hot dog! If you have a little time during your travels, this is a nice alternative to the "Big Guys."
