The Original Mels Diner - Poco Verde

We always stop here on the way to Reno! The best clam chowder I have had in a long time outside of the San Francisco pier area, and that corn bread served with it, was incredible. I have to tip my hat to the cook who made my burger, as it was perfect, the patty crisp from the grill, and a good proportion of veg, to sauce to meat, on a hearty bun. The potatoe salad, was not myfavorite, and traded it in for some more for the cole slaw. The $15.99 seafood combo was quite a rip off, as it was two tiny filets of fish, and 3 shrimp the size of my thumb, and of course they were straight out of the freezer... Our servers and our hostesses were just so kind, and welcoming.

What a fun place to eat good food and enjoy the atmosphere. Staff is friendly efficient and knowledgeable about the food

Of all our visits to Mel 's over the years this Reno location at Boomtown casino and the one in San Francisco is our favorites. Service is good, even when they are slammed with customers. Food is good, but to be honest, it really depends on what cooks are on shift. Prices are the same as let 's say Denny 's. There used to be a Mel 's in downtown Reno, but it was closed when the casino was remodeled and renamed J . Parking: Large casino parking lot. Just depends on how close you can park to entrance Wheelchair accessibility: Ada accessible.

Me an my mom driving across the state, never been here. Big menue, good food and quick service. Not exactly cheap but fair prices.

Great place!! Food was great, people were great and the prices were reasonable!
