In Short
Teal booths, quirky paintings and pink-neon accents give this place a true diner feel. Crowds vary from punk kids and tipsy revelers at 4am to grandparents and gay couples at Sunday breakfast. On the menu: diner fare like three-egg omelettes stuffed with anything from jalapenos and onions to sauteed apples and cheddar cheese. Hungover? Try the Hobo, a skillet of hash browns topped with melted cheese and two eggs.

The Melrose has everything you'd want out of a local diner. The food is good, though some things are considerably better than others, and the place has a good diner ambiance. The place is decorated with some crazy 80s new wave motif, but it adds to its character. (On most days the music matches the decor.) This may not be a place to make a trip for, but it's a good place to walk a few blocks to.

The Melrose is comfortable, affordable, friendly and palatable. I've enjoyed the experience for years... and years... and years. It feeds the urban experience and is a great spot to bring out of towners to. Everyone is welcomed to this haven... At any given time you can watch the local boys, the ladies of the North Shore and the bohemian youth contingency sit back and enjoy watching each other. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough.

This place has the fluffiest, most well-stuffed omlettes for around $6! The service is always friendly & speedy. All breakfasts come with a piece of fruit (a whole orange or banana). Blitzes are great too! Great lazy-weekend brunch place with no frills.
