Reviews for Mel’s Diner in Waterloo, Ontario
We ordered a short stack of cinnamon roll pancakes and an ultimate skillet. The pancakes were huge, had a nice texture, and had a good cinnamon taste. It was a bit annoying spreading the icing to the pancakes at the bottom, but that was essentially unavoidable since they take up ... the whole plate haha. We really enjoyed the ultimate skillet too, but we would've liked it hotter. However, I ordered mel's favourite for takeout before, and it was disappointingly mediocre. That could've been a one off, but I prefer dining in-person anyway! Their takeout packaging is nicer than other places though. The restaurant has a very old school diner vibe and the service is good. Overall, it's a great place to go for breakfast or brunch! Read more
This is a super cute diner in Waterloo for breakfast! We ordered the Classic Benedict and the California Benedict. Our breakfast was very filling and freshly served. Service was great! I really liked how they have this randomized program where a portion of the customer's bill goes to charity! We ... were the chosen ones by Mel that day :)! Would definitely visit again! Read more
Went for Sunday breakfast and the place delivered in every way. Great food, fun ambience and friendly and prompt service. Has an old school diner feel with posters from old movies. I ordered the Huevos rancheros which was excellent, plentiful and fresh. Food arrived quickly which was great ... because we were hungry. I will definitely be back! Read more
We ate at the Waterloo location, great spot tuck for all you can eat breakfast. Old school style dinner with a lot of options on the menu. Customer service was great, very attentive and friendly. Prices are on par for breakfast and the decor is really cool! No wait on ... Saturday morning prime time for a table. Old school diner vibe in a great location. Food was amazing as well and came out very quick. Read more

Great food. Went on a hot day and there AC broke so had to eat with sweat dripping. But love the retro vibe of 50’s to 80’s. Nice choices for breakfast.
