I've passed by this joint numerous times and on one of those passes, I decided to stop…read more No one was there except the bartender/server guy and he was affable enough, that is once you broke the ice. I ordered the Beer Battered Mushrooms, but after some time, I guess the call from the kitchen said they were out of it. So...I settled for the onion rings. It was fair. So there I was, just having a Coke to drown the greasy onion rings with the TV at the bar broadcasting some inconsequential program, on an idle afternoon at an uneventful roadside eatery. I suppose life can be worse. :-)

Good food. Open room. Fun atmosphere…read more Carl was great The mushroom poppers were great. Had salads too

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.

Love the food and large portion sizes at Mel & Faye's. They are always busy, but worth the wait…read more I'm vegetarian, so super appreciative that they added a plant-based protein option.

One of the antique shops had recommended this place and I'll say it was a good one. We didn't expect it to be as jam packed as it was however it didn't feel over crowded and we came in and musical bingo was being held. Great songs that I think we've all forgotten at some point and i definitely added more to my playlist. My husband got to play in the last round and kept "bugging" our waitress Madi about how close he was to BINGO- he was never close. She was amazing and kept the laughs going and the drinks flowing. The food in and of itself was 10/10. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back.

It seems whoever was baking the pizza's doesn't understand how to clean the stone oven prior to baking. The pizza came out burnt on the top "black burnt" and they still tried to push it through. The bottom of the pizza had so much burnt corn meal that it was flaking off everywhere. This shows that they did not clean the stone oven. Pizza sent back immediately. 2nd time. Ordered the $40+ ribeye med rare... we waited 45min to receive a super well done piece of rubber. Again immediately sent back. Paid for our overpriced tiny app and drink and left. Won't be back!

We were recommended this bar from people after the Lodi wine fest. I showed up with and 8 of my…read morefriends for my birthday. We had a blast in the beginning. We were there for about four hours.... everybody left except me and my friend both of us females. As the night went on however, the locals came in. We had some big broad, flipping us off across the way while we were just sitting at the bar, and it got way worse. The two gentlemen sitting next to us were there from work and it was their first time as well. They were pipe fitters and they were staying at adjacent hotel, they were going to give us a ride home. For no reason at all about 10 Cowboys hats came our direction and threatened all four of us. We were backed up against the wall as they all stood up and walked over our direction. My friend and I got up and walked around, my friend kept saying this is horrible. We didn't do anything wrong. We keep asking the bartender what's going on why is this happening ??? My friend asked some guy are you just gonna let these guys jump us? The bartender said she was shutting it down told us that we needed to go around and get out of here from the back.. we called 911,four times!!! and no one showed up. We feared for our lives, fortunately one of the locals told us to sit by him and not move and assisted in getting a stranger to drive us all the way back to our hotel. We were so worried about the other two men who did absolutely nothing and were getting punked by the local hillbillies. We have no idea whatever happened to the two guys. We ended up going to their hotel and explaining in case they didn't show up from work the next day. I highly recommend that no one attends this bar unless you live in that neighborhood and know everybody; it's clear Lodi people should be NOT be recommending it. It's a safety concern at this point. And this probably won't be the last time.

I really hate leaving a review like this, because this was a favorite drinking hole of mine prior…read moreto tonight... I went to this establishment by myself. I spent over $200 there and only had four drinks towards myself. I bought a round for the whole bar and tipped the waitress over 40 bucks. Spent over $200 plus $40 in tips then I was toldI didn't tip well enough. I'm a disabled vet that and I'm a ECV camper member never in my life have I felt more disrespected than tonight. I have the text message to prove it.
