has gone in the toilet – I remember when the Melrose was a failsafe - good, consistent food and service. Since the ownership change things have done a complete 180-degree turn for the worse. The past three times I've been there for breakfast I've had to wait at least 30 minutes for my cold food to be delivered, and at varying stages (toast came first, bacon 10 minutes later, etc.). Sadly, I'll not be going back - see you at the Oregon Diner.
Always prompt service, not sure what all the complaining is about – I'm 35 years old, no longer live in South Philly and still stop by every once and a while... Not sure what everybody is complaining about, food is still good, place is always clean and prices are reasonable by todays standards. Seems to me that people just don't like a change in ownership, things change people... get used to it.
I x'ed Melrose off my list after going there my whole life – I went to Melrose today to surprise my Grandfather who before we moved him out of Philly was there 7 mornings a week for his oatmeal and coffee and at least 3 nights a week for dinner. I myself went atleast twice a week when I lived in the city. Since I moved I have popped in from time to time and it was ok at best since the new ownership. Well, today was the end of me going to Melrose. I ordered MP1 which if you know Melrose at all is the chicken cutlet. The chick... read more
Once A Titan, Not So Much Anymore – I grew up in Philly and would go to the Melrose at least once a week if not more as a kid. The food there was incredible, the service was friendly, and the place was always spotless. I ate there a few weeks ago on a business trip back to Philly and I was a little disappointed. I had the world famous cream chipped beef with a side of scrapple with coffee. The chipped beef was excellent but the scrapple was not well done and the coffee tasted like dirty dish water. I can deal with lousy coff... read more
EVERYBODY WHO KNOWS SHOULDN'T GO TO THE MELROSE!!!! – I wanted to give new ownership a chance hoping that the would have left the daily operations intact, but that wasn't the case. I use to frequent the Diner 3-4 times/wk, but not anymore. I've had too many bad experiences such as undercooked food, wrong items in take out orders or items left out of orders. The menu changes from week to week & if you arrive after 6:00PM for dinner, most of the entries are already sold out(they must make two servings of every entry), not to m... read more
what happened to the new owner? – i had stayed away from the melrose for a long time, even though i live only a few blocks from the diner because i couldn't get a cheesesteak until after 3:00 pm along with other reasonable requests. i did begin going again this summer, when the new owners took over and it was a pleasure. now things are back to the way they were, who ever went to eat lunch & was told they couldn't have the basic "philly cheesesteak" at (1:00 pm) lunch?? this wasn't a problem when michele (mgr) and michael (ow... read more
A great tradition has become even better! – I have to admit that the new owners have topped themselves. The chicken soup is always delicious as well as the spaghetti & meatballs (as good as my italian grandmom's). The daily specials are just that "special", and Michael & Michelle are working very hard (day and night) to make sure the customers are satisfied. The bakery items are just as good as always. I can't wait to go back to see what new dinners will be severed next. It's been a much needed change, while keeping the old ... read more
Glad that I gave Melrose another chance, I'd tell others to do the same! – I've lived in S. Philly all of my life & stopped going to the melrose several yrs ago, the management was arrogant (that's putting it nicely). After hearing that the melrose had been sold a couple months ago, a few friends and I decided to give it another chance. I am so glad we did, the food was hot, and delicious. The service was quick, and friendly. The new owner obviously knows how to treat customers, and isn't so arrogant that they'd forget they ... read more
GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE – Everyone goes to " MELROSE " best price - good service and the best cakes!! Clean, and the 24 hrs. service is what everyone is looking for. ENJOY
