★★★★★ 5.0 Jose Martinez · Mar 2026

Burgers are the best and the fries are always fresh. I always get the double cheeseburger and let me tell you it is massive I am 235 pound and it fills me up. The Waite is about 10-15 mins but is not fast food is home style and way better than fast food. The waiter or owner not sure but they are always nice and respectful. Will bring my family here.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Nick Garlinghouse · Nov 2025

Cute little 50s themed diner in the heart of downtown Prairie Grove. Nothing too fancy, but it's a fun stop if you're in the area and looking for some Americana/nostalgia.

★★★★★ 5.0 Michelle Roberts · Mar 2026

Thought we would try something new. Very friendly, cute citchy place inside. Loved the music and that u could still carry on a conversation. Grilled ham and cheese was delicious (not made with lunch meat, nice thick ham). Good sweet potato fries. Not expensive.

★★★★★ 5.0 Joshua Fuester · Feb 2026

Good food at great prices. The staff is super friendly and all the food was fresh. My veggies on my burger were all fresh. The gave me a lot of fries. The wife and I got a great lunch for $25 all together. Definitely will frequent Mel's.

★★★★★ 5.0 Hunter Mays · Feb 2026

Mel’s is my son and I’s go-to spot every Saturday morning. A true American diner, where you know your food is made to order! If you are passing through, or live nearby, stop in and enjoy a relic from times gone by.
