MEL'S DINER - GATLINBURG TN REVIEW!
Greetings all!
This diner was SO good I had to make a post about it. It is located near Gatlinburg, TN and hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for. @alovelymess and I were searching through Tripadvisor trying to find a nice place to grab a bite for dinner, and stumbled across this gem. It's kind of a small place, and it was somewhat crowded when we arrived, but we figured if there's a crowd...it's worth it.
This place reminds of my childhood. My brother and I grew up in a small town with a similar diner, and we loved going there with the fam. A few years back, they leveled it and built a...ready for this? Walgreens. Damn you, big pharma!! Both places had a jukebox where you could pick some classics.
Ironically, the menu items are named after famous singers/actors. I picked the Elvis Club, which was a triple decker sandwich filled with Turkey, Ham, Bacon, Tomatoes, Lettuce, and Mayo. The day we visited was August 16th, which coincidentally is the 40th anniversary of the day Elvis died. I wasn't aware of this under later! Mind blown.

wow looking peaceful place😍
Thanks!
Looks like a great place to eat. You would think a sandwich named after the king would have peanut butter and bananas. If you've never had a peanut butter and banana sandwich I highly recommend it. Just don't fry it in butter like Elvis used to do.
Super awesome place! I have heard about peanut butter and banana sandwiches, can't say i've had one though. I'm not a huge fan of bananas. Haha.
this place looks cool and the food looks good!
It was delicious! For sure the best food we had there. Thanks!
Well done, my friend! Congratulations!
Thanks so much!
Cool place, so happy days style!
Yes, Happy Days! It was like a trip in time!
This looks awesome, I would love to visit. And what a coincidence that you had that sandwich on such a historic day. I can definitely appreciate the local diner feel. We actually had a Mel's Diner just down the street from me in Toronto when I was growing up (same name, different type of restaurant). And they were a Canadian family owned restaurant. They had the best damn poutine I've ever had. But unfortunately they closed down a few years back :( We need more independent restaurants like this, and less big franchises in my opinion :)
Right? It was crazy when I found that out, haha. Very cool! I can't say I know what poutine is. Bummer they closed! I agree, more small businesses!!
Another awesome post that's making me want to join your life's adventures!😋
