I've probably been to this restaurant more times than any other. After an all-nighter as a college student this was the place to go. Great atmosphere, friendly faces and service, they even remember your name! The place is usually packed with people of all ages, and around 2 AM its packed with cops (I've come here all hours of the night). All the food I've tried so far is good and the icecream sundae is piled so high its a wonder it doesn't topple over on the way to the table. The food doesn't drip in grease like Denny's food does. Great place for a Sunday brunch. Also, beware that this is the only Mel's out of the three around the Sacramento area that is open 24hrs. My favorites are the mel-fries dipped in ranch and their sandwiches or chicken strips. I've always been too full to try the shakes, but friends say they're delicious.
Pros: open all night, song requests from your table, good quality diner food, good for kids
Cons: nothing I can think of
