Driving past Mel's Diner, I told my boyfriend, "We have to eat breakfast here before we leave town!" For those of us who remember back that far, the TV series "Alice" was set in Mel's Diner in Phoenix. Only now, the new "Flo" wears jeans & a t-shirt and has a tattoo and an eyebrow ring.
The food was what you would expect...it's just a hole in the wall diner after all! Actually the breakfast was pretty good, and the prices are pretty cheap compared to a lot of breakfast places. The bacon was tastier than at most cafes.
Funky interior, about the sort of garage sale decor items you see at a lot of places like this one. Though there was a cool old mirror in the bathroom, set just about waist height so you can check out how your pants fit after you ate a big breakfast.
Lots of regulars seem to come in and the people watching is somewhat fascinating.
