What Tanvi Bhatia likes about Mel's Diner:
Kind of out of the beaten path to this place but was well worth the 10 minute drive off of 77 south; very western theme inside and a large dance floor; live band on Wednesday afternoon with a big crowd; we are a dance group from Sunshine RV Resort and enjoyed the afternoon dancing; we enjoyed a few drinks but didn't stick around to eat as we had made earlier plans for Brownsville; we'll be back on a regular basis nex... View all feedback. What Judy Delgado doesn't like about Mel's Diner:
It is such a disgrace when your husband is a Police officer in town and you have 2 of the waitresses fighting for him as if he was a single man. Ladies sorry to tell you but he is MARRIED and has been for 11 years now and with 3 beautiful kids. Only because a man in uniform is polite with you does not mean he wants something with you. Very unprofessional wait-staff! Get a reality check ladies !! View all feedback.

Ordered a burger and fries and the fries were too soggy. The fries also had too much seasoning making them too salty.
