Mel's Diner - Essington

Great diner! Amazing French toast, does not look like much on the outside, but the interior is extremely clean and well decorated, the waitress was very nice and helpful. I was in many diners, even many in Nj who are known for their diners and this is easily one of the best

Came up from Macon Georgia on our annual baseball trip visiting different parks. Choose Mel's for breakfast. Couldn't have chosen a better place. Everything was home made. Great sausage. Great omelette. Totally recommend. ß

I'm a sucker for old school diners (not the NYC polished aluminum ones of yore-but those are great too) and this is one. American comfort food in a clean, easy to get to place. People, Denny's will still be OK if you go to the local Mel's every so often and the money will stay local.

Do yourself a favor and drive past the diner and Dennys down the road and pull into this place. You will not be sorry. The outside is a bit neglected but once you walk inside you will be pleasantly surprised. It is very clean inside and the staff is extremely friendly. The menu for breakfast is complete and the grilled sticky buns are super yummy!

The gentleman in the accepting owner) was very nice. It's a very clean place. Food and coffee was great! Prices are also great, but you can only use cash as the form of payment. But they have a breath! Not busy. Come back.
