Melrose Diner

6/15/22...try the farmer's omelet, it's delicious! 6/5/22...ordered a buttercream cake for someone's birthday. We used to have this cake growing up and it's still delicious! 3/23/22….You get to know the wait staff, Becca, Kim, Duane..they are all so nice. I had the ham and cheese omelette, with the best home fries and one of the best toasted cinnamon buns, ever! Thank you, to the staff, that cooked my delicious food...so much appreciated! 10/31/21...I so wanted real diner food and we opted for the Melrose Diner. It was an excellent choice. I had the creamed chipped beef and a toasted cinnamon bun. My husband had a western omelette and I did a take out ham and cheese omelette and turkey club. Everything was delicious! And yes, the takeout orders were hot and packaged nicely. Becky, our server, was so patient and nice as the place was crowded. We also had our table cleaned by this super nice gentleman, sorry, I didn't get his name; but he had on a most sharp hat. A special thank you to him for his kindness! Real, old fashioned, diner food...awesome! Thank you! The Melrose Diner is truly a classic diner. There is counter service. There are booths and the place even has its own bakery where they still make their buttercream cakes. We recently went for breakfast, sat at the counter and I had to sample a little, or I should say a lot of everything. I opted for a ham and cheese omelet, with home fries, grits and french toast. My kind of breakfast; and it was delicious! The servings are more than generous and the food was freshly made and hot and our waitress, Kristen, was so very nice. In case you get hungry, they are also open 24 hours.

Stopped here for breakfast before hitting the town. I dig the modernized retro theme. The employees are super nice. We got creamed chipped beef on toast, with grits( throw back to my childhood in the 90's) and my husband got a protein packed omlette, as well as coffee. (His was regular- still good, mine was a fancy iced coffee with whipped cream- better then starbucks at home 😄) check out these pics

Early morning breakfast diner. I don’t usually come to south Philly for ANYTHING. On this good Thursday I found myself waiting for a friend to finish an appt so I came to this diner. Glad I did. Great French toast. Great coffee. Customer service was great. Will be returning the next time I happen to be in South Philly.
