Great local restaurant

by twistah

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.

• Pros: Pretty decent food, good ambiance, mostly good service
• Cons: Some dishes aren't very good (but the food is good for the most part), services can be shaky on rare occasions

could be home

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.

Awesome omlettes!

by kristen0218

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.

• Pros: Good value, Quick Service, Stick-to-your-ribs!
