We often visit Mel's Diner in Fremont when we're servicing our cars, and it's always a fun little…read morestep back in time. Given the recent storms hitting the Fremont area nonstop, we figured we'd support this local mom-and-pop spot for lunch this weekend. We walked in and were quickly seated at a booth near the kitchen window and the lunch counter stools. The greeting was prompt, and drink orders were taken--iced tea and Coke Zero. Yep, this little diner is proudly a Coke Zero establishment. Classic! I usually get the club sandwich, but this time I took a moment to consider if I should branch out. But, I ended up sticking with my original choice. I went for the club with tots, crispy of course. My husband opted for the Big Bopper Burger and crinkle fries. While we waited for our food, we chatted, checked our phones, and had a little people-watching session. One memorable moment was watching a toddler trying to feed boogers to a teenager. Classic diner experience! I couldn't help but overhear the servers gossiping at the lunch counter while rolling silverware, occasionally letting out a few choice words. I'm not one to judge, but it is a business, and I can't help but wonder if that might bother other customers. On top of that, I overheard them questioning whether a to-go order looked right before boxing it up. Makes you wonder... After what felt like an eternity, our food finally arrived. My tots were supposed to be crispy, but they were more like soggy, sad little bites of disappointment. I could tell they'd been fried crispy and sat around too long. The club sandwich was good, as always, though I wish the toast had been a little crispier. I get it, though; that happens when a sandwich sits in the window for a bit. My husband didn't have complaints about his burger, but there was one odd thing. The fries on his plate were barely there. He had just a scattering of a few cold ones. The server then mentioned they were making him a fresh order of fries, which left me wondering: did he get leftover fries from a previous order, or whatever was left in the fry basket? It seemed a bit off. He said the fries on his plate were cold, so I guess the mystery of leftover fries remains unsolved. Unfortunately, this was the most disappointing meal we've ever had at Mel's. I'm not sure I'll be in a hurry to return next time I'm in the area. It's still a cute spot with a lot of potential, but it fell short this time.

Fair size portions at decent prices. The server was cold to us at first but she came around. Definitely a place that locals visit often. This place only takes cash but has an ATM on site. All in all, a decent place, when you just want something to eat, but aren't expecting much.

We actually didn't even know Penny's was here but happened upon it because we missed our turn to Arby's. It was such a lucky accident and we greatly enjoyed the vintage diner vibes here. The aesthetics of Penny's are so cute, endearing, and truly embody the vintage soda bar diner environment in every way. Also, our server was the absolute best, very friendly and kind, and she checked up on us regularly. The food did take a little bit to come out, but we were a slightly larger group of four, but we were excited to dig in! I got the waffles and bacon combo, which was a great serving and enough for a snack later. The bacon was super crispy and tasty, and the waffles were a bit drier but still yummy. Everyone else was impressed with their meals and the chicken and gravy was a huge hit with my dad. I would love to come back here in the future, and very likely will!

I read through the reviews beforehand and thought, "There's no way it's consistently THAT bad..."…read moreOMG IT IS. We arrived about 12:45. There was 4 or 5 other tables in the restaurant. Our waitress took our drink orders about 5 minutes later but didn't come back to take our food order until about 1:15. We got one malt at 1:20 and didn't get the other until almost 1:30. The table across from us had ordered shortly after we sat down and still didn't have their food at this point. The lady asked their waitress about the wait, who said they only had one cook, and it would be about 5 more minutes. 15 minutes or so later (1:45ish) the lady got up, walked outside, came back, and announced that the cook was outside smoking. She also observed that her order was sitting in the window. It's now 2pm and neither of us have our food. 5 or so minutes later our waitress comes to our table with multiple baskets - my Patty Melt and Fries (which the lady also ordered and observed in the window 20ish minutes earlier), my cup of Chili, a Reuben we didn't order, my son's Burger and Fries, my older daughter's French Dip (but not the Au Jus or Fries), and not my younger daughter's Philly and Fries. I informed our waitress of the errors and that the Patty Melt was cold. The table across from us got up and walked out. After several minutes, the other waitress came by and asked if we still wanted the Philly or Patty Melt. We said "No". They comped our meal which is why they get an additional star. That was just absurd. 30+ minutes for a malt?! An hour and 20 minutes after sitting down (50 minutes after ordering) to get about half of what we ordered?! And to mix up 2 tables orders that ordered nearly half an hour apart? What in the name of hot messes everywhere is going on at this diner?! I left a $20 tip to cover the malts, which were actually pretty good, and ($6 each I was told), and for the attempts at service.
