Mels Country Cafe

Perfect onion rings!!! - the best I have ever had. Vegetables were good and not overly salted which is really nice. Our waiter was Jace and he was a joy! He was attentive, polite and fast!

Have been enjoying Mel's for a couple of decades now, and it never disappoints! Anything on the menu is great, nothing on there you can go wrong with. Had a stop in on a Sat evening at 5pm, and were able to get a table within a couple of minutes. Decided on their onion rings, fried mushrooms, bacon cheeseburger regular size!... not the Mel or Mega-Mel and the Monte Christo. The food is always hot, crispy and not greasy. The hostess and wait staff are super friendly and even tho the wait staff are going what seems like a million miles per hour.. they still take great care of you! The only nit-pick on our meal this time, was with the Monte Christo... they needed to melt the cheese in the sandwich before frying it! That sandwich needs to be warm inside when you bite in, not cool.

I had the Monte Cristo on fried mushrooms and they were good. I would recommend it. If I'm in the mood again I will return. I would recommend they have a permanent non-pork option for Monte Cristo.

We love this place. We visited first time in several years and I was worried it had changed like many places do! But as far as my taste buds can recall it's still delicious as it was several years ago. I'm so happy to be back in the area and I can dine at Mel's again! They have the best home made onion rings! I had the Reuben sammich and my daughter had the lunch special of Beef tips. Both were absolutely wonderful! No disappointment here! Parking: Parking is limited and not many options. Don't park in front of the restaurant because on a not so good day you may not be able to back out to leave. Been there done that. Lol Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kid friendly options! Wheelchair accessibility: It's there. But parking is not friendly.

We showed up on a busy Saturday lunch and were able to get a table for 4 within a few minutes. The food was all excellent. The chicken fried steak was epic and delicious. The smaller size was still plenty big. The chicken steak fingers were delicious as well. I tried the chicken aguacate. It had Cajun spices, avocado, pico de gallo, and cheese. So good! The cornbread was great as well, a little sweet though. Service was good too. We would highly recommend this place!

We have visited this restaurant number of times while we were staying in Corral Rv Park as we travel full time in our rv. Great food great service friendly servers. Thank you Michael and Pamela.Food: 5/5

This was our first trip to "Mel's" after hearing about it from some local friends. They swore by the place so we figured we would check it out. Honestly it was one of the best meals I have ever had, and this place really is a true hidden gem! The service was incredible!!! Our waitress was very nice and helpful. She was patient, and didn't rush us to make our choices, etc - and at the same time was nice with giving us her recommendations, answering questions, etc. The employee's busing the table referred to us as sir and ma'am which I found impressive. Just very nice staff all around, and very courteous, well spoken and mannered! The food was amazing from the rolls and corn bread, to the dinner salads, to the entree's and burgers. We had a little bit of everything and nothing disappointed. Kids popcorn shrimp basket and burgers were great for our young ones. The burger was excellent!!! The Chicken Fried Steak might be the best I have ever had anywhere definitely Top 3! Catfish was excellent however I would go Chicken Fried Steak or Catfish Christopher over the Fried Catfish when I return again. Everything we had really was excellent, and everything on the menu really sounded good. I have added some pictures of a few of the dishes we had....but again knowing what I know now I would go #1 Catfish Christopher photo attached, #2 Chicken Fried Steak photo attached, #3 Burger, #4 Fried Catfish photo attached. This place is so good / I can't wait to go back. Would give it a 6 star review if I could!

This is an amazing and delicious local restaurant. The onion rings, burgers and the catfish dish are amazing! Highly recommended!

Had to come try the chicken and dumplings after several recommendations and it is really very good. The right blend of shredded chicken, so you get it in every bite, and good quality dumplings. Just like momma used to make! The sides were great too, and the chocolate pecan pie was a good finish. It's a bit out if the way, so we will have to make it a trip to visit again, but it will be worth it. Next time we are bringing a sweater though! Lol!

This place is always packed. Some days you get great service, some days it's a bit slow. Today was slow. The food is wonderful comfort food. It's worth the wait and worth the slow service. Food: 5/5
