★★★★★ 5.0 Elizabeth M. Lynch · Jul 2025

This was our first visit, but we will definitely be back. My husband had the fish dinner with coleslaw and potato and I had the fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and bicolored corn. They also give you homemade sliced bread to go with your dinner. We have to say the coleslaw was the best we've ever had, and we are coleslaw snobs. The homemade bread was so good we bought a loaf to take home and made french toast with it the following day. It was amazing! They also offer daily specials

This pecan pie was Delicious! They have so many varieties and their service is great. The entire staff is wonderful and you are greeted as family at the front door. Taylor, Erin, Melody, and all the other servers are fantastic!

This restaurant’s specialty is their “broasted chicken” which really isn’t that special in my opinion. I would almost compare it to gas station chicken. I got the broasted chicken tenders, but also fries and onion rings. The rest of the food really is delicious, and their homemade bread is to die for. I would come again, but maybe get something else.

Mel-O-Dee’s in New Carlisle is fantastic! The broasted chicken is delicious and brings back memories of the classic broasted chicken restaurant in Dayton. that we used to have. They’ve been serving the community for over 60 years with great food, friendly service, and a warm, family atmosphere. The service is great, prices are reasonable especially for the portion sizes. Don’t miss their all-you-can-eat fish Mondays and freshly baked bread available daily, it’s always an enjoyable experience. Lastly Michael was very professional curious and clearly cares about his customers.

My very good friend took me here for lunch yesterday. From the atmosphere service and the food, delicious, welcoming, and very respectful and attentive. The food was delicious. The best coleslaw I’ve ate in my entire life. You must try this place. If you’ve never been you won’t be sorry I ordered a double burger, fries and the coleslaw at lunchtime and I was so full the entire day delicious just delicious.
