We spent a few days in down town Nashville and walked past this diner numerous times. We were…read moreintrigued by a 6 story diner, and this morning, decided to give it a shot. So glad we did! They seated us on the 4th floor, next to a large open window, where we had an excellent view of the street below. My wife and I decided to split the waffle sliders: Omelet Style Eggs, Cheddar Cheese, and Bacon sandwiched between 2 pieces of Belgian Waffles. There were 2 'sliders' - which were huge! Everything was cooked to perfection. And the combination of flavors were unbelievable. We both thought they were delicious. I can't wait to try making this at home! The decor was great. The staff couldn't have been better. Service was quick and efficient. We're so glad we decided to eat here!

It was also pretty cool that there's different floors to eat on. We were on the 6th floor so the view was great. Our server was knowledgeable about Nashville so that was a great conversation with her. The food was mediocre - I had the avocado toast that did not have a lot of avocado but it was ok. I wanted an over easy egg but they only have scrambled eggs. My husband had scrambled eggs, potato's and bacon...again nothing special. Go for the view from the 6th floor!

I'm a sucker for an old school themed diner, so this was an easy choice. The atmosphere while small, was warm and inviting. Sit where you will, and they'll come to you. Enjoy classic style diner burgers, sandwiches, and I think I even saw some shakes. Lots of typical automobile type memorabilia on the walls, intermingled with real pictures from perhaps family, locals, etc. Good service, and reasonable prices. I had the Foghorn Leghorn Chicken Sandwich.

I don't know how someone could rate Mel's Diner a 4-star experience, but it's most certainly not…read more In this quaint little space, whiteboards display specials and kitschy signs occupy every remaining bit of turquoise wall space. The paint matches the tables and chairs, with two brown-colored, old-school restaurant booths located in a second room. A western movie plays on the television in the corner, and there are no carryout shelves, no WiFi, no frills. It's not what you come here for. But you will find lots of camo, long beards, and locals engaged in boisterous chatter with heavy southern accents. It's an authentic southern experience. The Saturday morning breakfast rush was just winding down at 8:45 when I walked in and took the only remaining seat. The other 45 spots were taken as the place was packed! It took 30 minutes to get my food, but I hoped it was worth the wait. The loaded hash browns contained a mixture of ham, peppers, onions, and one of my least favorite things - a melted square of despicable American cheese. The potatoes are closer to soggy than crisp which is a cardinal sin in the hash brown game. But the ham was really good. The sausage patties were obviously store bought and very unimpressive, and the biscuits were either picked up at the local grocer or simply underwhelming. The gravy was thick, but the wonderful texture was utterly flavorless. The entire meal was under $10 without the tip, so you get what you pay for. At least it's affordable.

Parking was easy, which was a plus. The restaurant itself felt a little worn down and somewhat dirty, though the bathroom was extremely clean. Once seated, the service was friendly but very slow. We ordered a basic breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, grits, coffee, and home fries. The coffee was delicious, and I loved the stainless steel mugs. The grits were not good, the bacon looked and tasted old, and the home fries were huge and just okay. Overall, it was a very basic breakfast and not really a place we would return to.
