What happened to this place? We love the food at Mel's diner but today was the last time we will visit. The food is still great but service sucks. Apparently there is a new owner and he doesn't like a lot of tickets in the kitchen therefore if there are tables who have ordered you can't order your food until their order is complete. Here is a thought, don't own and operate a restaurant. Secondly it's a breakfast joint, breakfast is the easiest and the quickest meal you can make. We watched 2 tables leave as they were told you can sit but it will be a 45 minute wait for your food. I mean come one this place is barely bigger than my living room and people have to wait that long to eat. I'm so angry and I feel this place is a joke. I truly hope some wakes this man up before he is telling his employees to go stand in the unemployment line. P.S. you know you are in for a wait when your waitress brings you a game to play while waiting for your food. I kid you not they brought us a game!
