MEL'S DINER — Restaurant in Beatty

We came to have breakfast in the morning. This place was recommended both by google and by the local hotel where we stayed over night.

The peace was easy to find. It was nicely decorated for Christmas, there is a large parking in-front of it.

Inside, there were some customers but no large queue. We took an available table, we could order in 5-10 minutes once the waitress came to us. We decided to go for standard breakfast : one omelette with ham (Denver omelette) and two eggs with sausage, also coffee.

The food arrived fast, everything was tasty and freshly cooked. We liked the taste, the portion was big, we could hardly finish it (but we are not big eaters in the morning). We paid around 25 usd for everything, notice that it is cash only.

Overall the place is nice and cozy, although a bit old-fashioned and it’s charming. The atmosphere was friendly and pleasant. Perhaps what could be improved: it would be nice to have fresh milk for coffee, also less waste (the plates were of paper) and would be great to be able to sort food remainings from other trash.

This place can definitely be...

Someone working on the door who I later learned was the owner was extremely rude. As I approached the entrance he gruffly said, "No lady go around I'm in the middle of something here" First of all Mr. Grumpy Pants....I've never been here, had no idea there was another door. A more polite response would have been "oh I'm sorry if you walk around the front the other door is operable." :) Same gentleman was later overheard cursing about traffic and other issues, he's probably a really unhappy person, but nonetheless weary travelers coming in for breakfast could be greeted more professionally. Aside from Mr. Grumpy Pants, the other staff were smiling and friendly and the coffee and our breakfasts were tasty. Had I known the door repairman was actually the owner I might have just left...without coffee. Overall, be kind to tired travelers...we just...

Everytime we travel to northern Nevada from Vegas, we always make sure to skip breakfast at home so we can eat at Mel's! It's a very small rural diner, conveniently located right off the 95. I had an omelette with hashbrowns, and my wife had eggs and bacon. The real kicker though is that they include biscuits and gravy as a side! The portions were large and filling, and the service was lovely. Only suggestions I would make is to maybe do some light renovations on the bathroom (it's outside, and not the nicest, but it's understandable), and maybe consider taking credit cards. We didn't realize it was cash only until it was time to pay, and thankfully we had some. I know there are merchant fees for cards, but I'd be happy to pay a surcharge for the convenience. Overall fantastic breakfast, you won't be...
