Mel's does not let you down for late night eats! Esp after late airport pickups and post-concert bites if you're feeling peckish or hangry they will suffice both cravings. The fried anything: potatoes, onions, cheese sticks, fish & chips, wings and other things are always life altering after nightly ventures. The kids nurse their shakes and the adults w/ an iced caffeinated bevy to wash down all the unsaturated lipids and soak up any remaining ETOH. It's a perfect combo of splendor and depraved. Mel's has a very cool 50's vibe and love the jukebox playing big bands and Motown in the last century. Service is spotty so you will need to hail the servers down for refills and the check but not bad. We always come back, we feel it's better food options and service than Denny's!

I must say, when I first discovered this breakfast place, I prefer Mel's over the 2 famous breakfast places in the world IHOP and Dennys. Mel's has all my favorite breakfast food and never fails every time I go in. Service is always friendly and fast. They are good at checking up on you if u need anything. The inside I love it. I love all the arts all over on the wall. I won't change a thing. #1 Go to breakfast spot good and affordable for a big family.

A huge menu selection and the food here is pretty good. I've got several favorites that are my goto. I like most of their sandwiches and there's plenty to choose from. The blue plate dinners are nice comfort food when I'm in that kinda mood too. The service is always friendly and fast and they get the extra star because they are literally the only restaurant in Pinole that has decent air conditioning during the hot summers! Yes that matters when your house is 80 degrees inside and it is 95 outside. lol. And on those type of days they've got delicious shakes, malts, freezes (my fav) and sundaes.
