Mel's Diner

Kids loved it. Ribeye and fish and shrimp were the specials. They were both great. Steak was made perfectly. Kids enjoyed their food. Wait staff was really nice and made sure we paid for what we wanted. Very nostalgic wall ornaments that kept my kids asking questions

Stopped in on the way to Nags Head. Although they were very busy, they were able to accommodate a party of 9 with outdoor seating and gave the kids Frisbees and a field to play in and have fun. This is a must try for folks passing through!!

Super cute diner! Service was great and food came up super fast! Will definitely come back.

Not bad at all. Maybe a tad bit overpriced but the food exceeded expectations. The BBQ Plate was great as was the stuff for the kids and the Italian Dressing. (Sounds random but it's quite good) ... Lots of cool signs on the wall, old school music and vibe. We had slow service but it seemed as though they were short-handed. Very nice woman as our server too.

This is one of very few places between Elizabeth City and the Outer Banks. We're happy it's there because it keeps you from the drive-thru.

We ate here all weekend! The food was home made and perfect. Prices were great and portions were huge. If they know you are visiting they will recommend great sites to see.

A great place to stop on Your way to or from the beach. Much better than fast food places. Our waitress was wonderful. We had two eggs & Country ham Yum. Our only criticism was the hashbrowns were not what thought they would be. I love the potatoes shredded & fryed with onions . Loved the atmosphere of the place . It's like going back to the fifties! We will definitely stop next year !

Great place to eat btrakfast...very friendly people..go try it..you will like it..a locals favorite ...

Not a bad diner to stop in and get some breakfast or lunch... The staff is really nice.. food was pretty good..my favorite breakfast food that I ordered was biscuits and gravy..

Very nice local Diner that should be supported. Food was good 😋

This place was FANTASTIC! Soooo delicious, and the prices where absolutely reasonable. Coffee was so yummy and they supplied lots of cream and sugar. Plus the pancakes where so yummy and the bacon extra crispy. It’s good for small to large parties! If you go here for breakfast lunch or dinner you will not be disappointed. Also there are a million older signs on the walls so lots to look at and enjoy.
