Mel's Place — Restaurant in Lower Township

The Marvellous Mel's Place Oh, have you heard, by golly, by gee, Of a place in Lower Township, for you and for me?

Not a palace of gold, nor a castle so grand, But a culinary wonder, the best in the land! It's Mel's Place, a marvel, a peculiar treat, Where the value's so splendid, undeniably neat! You enter the door, with a rumble and grumble, Your tummy's a-gnawin', about to go tumble. But fear not, dear friend, for relief is quite near, For Mel's magic kitchen will banish all fear!

The prices, you see, are for those with good nouse, A veritable bargain for every old house! No gobblefunk charges, no swindling so sly, Just honest-to-goodness, a gleam in your eye!

But listen, my dearies, lend me an ear close, For the star of this show, from its head to its toes, Are the sausage links, plump and quite gloriously brown, The most scrumdiddlyumptious in all of the town! They're not like those dismal, drab things you might find, These sausages, truly, will boggle your mind! A snap on the outside, a sizzle so grand, Then a burst of warm flavour, a delectable band! Each bite is a treasure, a secret, a clue, To the joy that good food can awaken in you!

And while your tastebuds are dancing with glee, Don't you dare overlook, no, not you, no, not me, Those magnificent Potato Tots, golden and hot, A crispy-fried comfort, a delightful small dot!

And the Club Sandwiches, piled high to the sky, With layers of yumminess, for you to espy! A tower of turkey, and bacon so crisp, A truly grand sandwich, you'll eat with a lisp!

So next time your stomach begins to feel queer, And you crave something lovely, abundantly clear, Dash quickly to Mel's, with a skip and a hop, For their sausages and more, are simply the top!

You'll leave with a smile, and a pocket still full, Oh, Mel's Place is marvelous,...

We went for breakfast on Sunday of memorial day weekend, so they were quite busy. We were seated immediately. It took about 10 minutes for a server. We put in our order and it took another 10 to get beverages. Our server apparently had to get ice and switch out the ice tea on the machine. This place is packed, people waiting outside. All the servers are running their butts off and there are 4 ppl standing behind the counter basically doing nothing and watching. To get things moving along you'd think they help getting ice and switching out the machine right? So I had to wait 5 more minutes for my iced tea. We asked for another water, napkins and silverware. And then my boyfriend asked where the bathroom was. She told him and asked him if he needed anything in there and said she's just kidding.

I guess that's what we get for being impatient and not wanting to wait a few minutes to get in at our favorite place, Castaway. Well we've...

However , they were not scrambled eggs. Instead, it was a plain egg omelette . Again, most know the difference between scrambled eggs and an omelette .

At my first visit at this new Mel’s, not remembering the details … I remember being disappointed then . Today , once again , disappointed in the food .

Fresh cooked bacon and 2 scrambled eggs (not a 2 egg plain omelette ) is what I asked for . That is not...
