Mel Dogs Cafe - Elk Grove

This place used to be brilliant. The service is no longer so great and the portions have drastically cut back, the prices certainly not.

Love this place! A true neighborhood eatery. Great breakfasts that don't scrimp on portions, excellent service. No complaints. Will be our go to...

Good food, service, prices. Had to wait 10 mins for table. On w/e morning. Was visiting friend and would go back, for sure.

Couldn?t tell you what the food was like because I never got to a table. I stood inside the door near the big sign that said ?wait to be seated? but after I spent 10 minutes waiting, still not one server even so much as looked toward the door. Then another couple came in?. And then another as well. Here we are, all standing here waiting, and being ignored. That was when the gentleman from the 3rd group to walk in notices a sign in sheet and added his name to it, never mentioning it to the rest of us obliviously awaiting customers in line ahead of him. By the way, when have you ever seen a restaurant with a sign in sheet for seating?? When one member of their staff finally noticed half a dozen people standing there, still zero acknowledgement. I always try to find new local businesses to support and I had plenty of time to sit and enjoy this place but instead, left to find someplace that actually wanted my money that?s a whole other story and ended up late to my next appointment due to the 25 minutes I wasted here. Can?t tell if the food was good or not, Only that I won?t be returning to find out.

Cute little local place. Small staff, but they were on it. I had placed a larger order a couple days in advance, then had breakfast at the time of pick up. The food was good, and the kiddos (20) were really impressed with their breakfast sandwiches.
