mel's drive in - review
Okay, so it's diner food on a restaurant price!
But its food is actually better than some other diners. The all-time special Rotisserie Chicken (half a chicken) with the mashed potato (sauce was very very good), and the good portion of boiled veggies albeit a bit overboiled was making me feel less guilty of gobbling down everything in addition to the dinner roll with way too much butter that I put on.
Their All American Meat Loaf was not traditionally stacked, and it almost looked like thin sliced dark spam but the homemade gravy was very beefy taste, for which I love.
Definitely will have to go back for their milkshakes and desserts!
Service wise it was a bit slow and the server this time did not write anything down, just mental noting what we ordered, obviously forgot one drink... but I like the fact that this place is relaxed, lots of space and neon lights. While it's not in the middle of a no-name town in a diner bus, it certainly tries to create some similar environment.
I ate:
chicken and mashed potatoes: failry good ($13)
