Service and food was good. I had the Philly dip. Fries were outstanding. My date had grilled cheese. Plenty of cheese and cooked as ordered. Very tasty.

Not your average diner. The food is phenomenal. The chorizo skillet I had makes the Dennis version taste like a child's play. They give you an incredible amount of meat and red potatoes and top it off with mouthwatering cheese, avocado, and sour cream. Finish off your meal with multiple options for dessert. From various shakes and floats to ice cream sundae. The environment is very clean and the decoration will throw you back in time with portraits of James Brown, Janis Joplin, and Elvis. The music will make the experience even better with throwback from Michael Jackson and 60s favorites. Come here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Eat here all the time and decided to try something different for a change... My buddy and I ordered the taco salad and the meat was so salty, I nearly choked do to it's high sodium content... They were quick to fix the issue and I went with the usual, country fried steak and eggs!

Great service! Plenty of open places to sit on a late night during the Christmas holiday, when nothing else was open. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Mint chip shake was very good and large enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. Very pleased.

Mel's has always been the place to go for a hearty breakfast, a good old-fashioned burger and shake, or a good meal meant to cure the spinning of drunkeness or a wicked hangover. I come here when I want something better than fast food, and the taste is always consistent. The service has been decent here in all the years I've been coming to this location, and I can't recall a time when I was disappointed in the service or food. Since I'm obsessed with the 50s and 60s, this place is right up my alley with decor and vibe. Clean and well-maintained inside and out. Overall a great place for a good all-American meal that doesn't break the bank.

Fantastic breakfasts. I love the skillets and the kids love the waffles and pancakes. My wife loves the breakfast sandwich with sausage. The decor is a fun throwback to the 1960’s.

😀 The staff are very friendly and courteous, knowledgeable. The restaurant has a nostalgic atmosphere and is fantastic. It brings back memories of eating fast foods when I was a teenager. The restaurant is very clean and cluttered free. It's also great place to bring family to eat. What I discovered was that Mels Diner. Also has breakfast menu and the restaurant is opened 24 hours. That's so great. Next time I'm in the area, plan on eating breakfast there. Also there is a Television on inside the restaurant that has sport channel on, along with nostalgic music from Jukebox. 😎 Keep up the very good work. 🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

Services was great, milk shake was wonderful, food was ok. Had chicken fried steak breakfast, it was over cooked. Hash brown and eggs were cooked perfectly.

Terrific for a late night grub grab. Had the Patty Melt, which was excellent along with the fries.

Questions & Answers

Yes but I wouldn't trust the WiFi at any place.

I would call and find out to make sure.

Yes and it's good

No not yet. It has a opening soon sign with no date posted. Note, that this location will not be open 24hrs.

Not sure if Fairfield has a Mel's but Vacaville is open 24 hours.

I didn't know they were opening another. Maybe check their website.
