Very much enjoyed food, atmosphere and service. Mel and the curly blond with the black glasses, unfortunately I don't know her name, were very attentive and even allowed to have breakfast outside the Diner (which normally is possible just on weekends) - where she had to take care for us. Even Mel's Diner T-Shirts look great (which I saw the... more

We eat in Boulder City at least once a month. Mel's is our favorite place to stop. Food is fantastic and the service is great. Waitstaff is attentive and you are always made to feel welcome. Love their gravy and the yummy onions served with the hashbrowns. more

I don't know what the other reviewer was talking about!? Nothing is further from the truth. The WHOLE staff has been nothing but sweet, helpful, efficient, and cleeean....now, the other diner down the street, well that's a whole different story. We have been to Mel's at least a dozen times in the last six months and it never waivers, good... more

Ate there and my meal was prepared wrong. The owner, named Mel verbally attacked me for telling my server about it! And I even told my server I wasn't complaining, that I thought she should know that they messed up my order!! This woman, loudly, and I mean so loud that customers stopped talking to see what the heck was... more

We tried Mel's Diner this past weekend. Great little place! Friendly staff, clean restaurant, & very cute. I had a waffle with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, which was delicious. We will go back next time we're in town. more

We spent the morning touring Hoover Dam and we were hungry and hot and needed a break. A local recommended Mel's Diner and it was a great recommendation. The place has the great diner feel and the service very personable. My sandwich was stuffed full of meat and very tasty. It was a great place for lunch and I'd love... more

Our group of 8, kids and adults, found ourselves in Boulder City for Mother's day breakfast. No reservations, but we were seated right away and the server did a great job taking care of us despite the packed house. The food was fresh and tasty - loved the hash browns - and prices very reasonable. On the way to Hoover... more

We came in from Vegas for a breakfast and what a great meal it was. Literally THE BEST hash browns ever. For that alone I will try to come to this place as often as possible! Then there is the heart shaped toast they give you with the fresh home cookin'! With the exception of the loud local retirees, it... more

From the wait staff, to the food, Mel's is consistent. Food is always good...chicken fried steak is excellent. Hash brown are the best I have ever had....come with vadalia onions in them (can be ordered without). Same girls always working in there. Quick, good service. Clean. more

Diner.” We live in Las Vegas and decided to make the drive to Boulder City. Well, when we arrived at the restaurant, we were pleasantly greeted by the staff, and ask to sit were ever we were comfortable. Not missing a beat, our waitress “Timber” greeted us, and asks what we would like to drink. When you are sitting in... more
