Our server Tasha was incredibly kind and attentive, she never missed a water or coffee refill, which is quite amazing. She noticed when we sat down that we were looking around and she came to check on us, we told her we were looking for my father. She walked up front and found him for us. The food was good and the atmosphere was nice. Ultimately I’d go back just to have Tasha’s amazing service

I’m in town for a convention and decided to try out Mel’s Diner for breakfast. Turns out it was a very good decision! I liked their decor. It looked like a 1960’s diner. The only thing missing was the tabletop jukebox controls🙂. After being shown to my table and reviewing the menu I opted for the Taco Omelette. It was made perfectly and I enjoyed every bite. There was an abundance of diced jalapeños and made it a nice, spicy breakfast. The wait staff was friendly and appreciated my joke. I enjoyed my visit and meal at Mel’s Diner in Yakima, WA.

Excellent retro-styled diner, very authentic to period and rich in details. I ordered a pancake special, and I love that they were considerate enough to bring the pancakes on the bacon and eggs on separate plates. 👌🏼 Solid diner experience with strong nostalgia vibes.

Amazing is all I can say! Our waitress Tasha was so kind and gave amazing service! Food came out quick, hot and delicious! Probably some of the best waffles we've ever had!!

Staff is so cheerful and kind, our group had unexpected guests and they quickly put tables together. They were extremely busy but the food came out quickly and we never felt neglected. Love the 50s dinner atmosphere. Highly recommend the steak tips and eggs! We can't wait to go back the next time we have in Yakima.
