Mel's Hard Luck Diner

Food was average.  The singing staff was ok, sometimes it was a little creepy to be honest.  Probably won't return.

We're in Branson for the first time and staying not far from Mel's.  After reading the reviews we thought it sounded like fun. HOWEVER...if you have ever been to a diner before you don't need to go here. There are much better choices in the area. All the hype about singing; we arrived at 5:45 pm and were there for about an hour - no singing. The food, well if you don't mind $10 sandwiches that are much cheaper elsewhere and just as good, you might  feel this is OK. All I can say is we were very disappointed.

The success to this place is obviously the singing wait staff, which were good. Food was good and priced well. I don't feel like our waiter was all that friendly, but it was a pretty good experience.
