Mels Diner - Mingus

My wife and I, along with our best friends, visited this restaurant for a late lunch on Saturday, July 13th, 2024. We all ordered the small chicken fried steak, which turned out to be quite large. Our server, Missy, was delightful, and we had a pleasant chat with the owner, Melissa. The food was delicious and tasted like a homemade meal. This restaurant is a hidden gem that is definitely worth a visit, just a short detour off I-20 in Mingus.

I adore this restaurant! The staff is amazing and the food is consistently delicious. Plus, on select Sunday nights they host a Christian karaoke night that is incredibly enjoyable!

Tried this place several times. Over $2 for a can of coke. Advertised arcade had no games. Food served cold, then brought back burnt. Nothing special or homemade. Just frozen food you can get anywhere. The atmosphere is neat, lots to look at. Try it for the hand dipped milkshakes, but there are better places to eat...... even in Mingus

Booths and tables are kinda uncomfortable, but the food is to die for. Mel can really throw down in the kitchen! You have to try the macaroni shrimp salad side and the chicken fried chicken ?

Love Mel’s! MmmmmmmmMakes me hungry just thinking about them.
