Brings back memories of Chicago. Has that mom and pop doghouse feel. Vienna dogs were great! Staff behind counter were great. Told the girl I wanted to bring an Italian beef home to St Pete for my husband. She went an extra step to pack the bread separate, so not soggy, and told me how to reheat meat in the aujus so not overcooked when we got it home. Great customer service!

Great dogs! Only problem is they have beer on the menu and when we ordered, they had no beer. I drank a root beer instead. Would have been a 5 star visit if not for the lack of suds!!!

I was working around the corner, framing an apartment complex, when Mel opened. My coworkers and I looked at each other and said, "A hot dog place on Busch Blvd., pfffft. Fat chance." Forty plus years later, it looks like we were wrong. Mel's not behind the counter, honking the horn much, these days, but he was a piece of work, back in the day.

The hot dogs are the best in town and the atmosphere and friendly staff make every every visit to Mel's a trip down memory lane. I've loved hot dogs all my life and discovering Mel's after moving to Tampa they took me back home making me remember the hot dog stand in my home town. 😀Great food and reasonable prices🌭
