I love the look/food at Mel's. I was however extremely disappointed when I ordered and Malt to go. The malt was 4.99. When I took it and walked out the door I realized what a small amt it was, the cup it was in was only 3/4th full. I went the car and was more annoyed by the moment, I said to my husband I really feel like I should go back in a say something, he said they wont do anything anyway. My mother had just had denal surgery and requested a malt. At least fill them to the top of the cup your giving the customer, or pur... read more

Great after a hike – A few friends and I went here after a hike and loved it. The service was great and the ice cream sundaes were awesome!

Great Place!! – When I go out to eat, I expect to pay a lot for my meal. I also expect to get a lot of food for that money. I'm a bit of a foodie and only want the best. Well, this place did deliver a great meal that I really enjoyed, only the portion was so small that I left feeling hungry still. The price wasn't worth the meal. However, the ambiance is very nice.

under rated – I was met at the door by charming friendly people. My order was correct and ready to go when I got there. The steak and egg special was delicious !!! Only $4.99 the new york strip was tender and well seasoned the red potato hash browns with green onions was crisp, hot and savory . My eggs were cooked as I requested. I got my order to go but I wished I had eaten there. The place was full of laughter and music ( at 9 am ). The staff deserve their tips. I will return and recommend Mels to others ! Special thanks t... read more

Hey...It's Better Than Denny's! – For Roseville all-nighters, you have two options: Denny's or Mel's Diner...you decide! This Mel's seems to have better service than the one in Rocklin, but the food isn't as good here. Burgers...they're okay if you compare them to Denny's, but compared to non-24-hour-joints, they're pretty mediocre at best. Chicken Quesadilla...it's usually pretty good (I get it on a wheat tortilla) but the salsa leaves a lot to be desired (think Pace with less flavor).

Open 24 Hours & Better Than Denny's! – For Rocklin all-nighters, you have two options: Denny's or Mel's Diner...take your pick! Denny's is more visible and located right off I-80 and Rocklin Road and Mel's is off Hwy 65 and Blue Oaks (near Chevys and Carls Jr.) Burgers...they're okay if you compare them to Denny's, but compared to non-24-hour-joints, they're pretty mediocre at best. Chicken Quesadilla...it's usually pretty good (I get it on a wheat tortilla) but the salsa leaves a lot to be desired (think Pace with less flav... read more

Good service, great price – Everything about this Mel's is above par. From the food, to the shakes, to the service (which I've never had problem with) its all great. To top it off, its open 24hrs! Great for a lunch or midnight snack
