All iI can say is that fish dinner is worth the wait. Also the tues. night dinner specials are fabulous, all homemade just like Grandma used to make. the atmosphere is dull but the people are friendly. more

Mel's is truly the corner bar. Without the neon on the front it could be anything. Once inside, it is as dreary as the outside. The window are dirty, inside and out. Curtains are missing and the floor tiles were missing while I waited at the bar. The what appeared to be underage bartender was pleasant enough when he finally... more

I used to go to the crows nest from time to time for lunch to have a sandwich which was good and at a nice price. I couldnt stand listening to the owners BS and watching him fumbling, bumbling and stumbling while taking peoples orders. I heard they had a good fish fry and I waited and waited and waited!... more

Finally after another 20 minutes, our order was taken.......Great, we were on our way finally....Wrong,... more

I decided to try having a fish fry there last Friday with my husband to satisfy my curiousity about the corner bar/ restaurant. Big Mistake! Not only is the parking limited, the windows so dirty you can't see in or out, but it... more
