Mel's Diner

This is a staple in the Yakima Valley and I'll be honest, it was looking a little scary during the pandemic. First, they closed their doors and there were rumors that it might not open again.

In an effort to get Baby Joel 'Yaklimated' to all of the great food we have to offer in the Yakima Valley, we like to hit up a different restaurant every week. This week, thanks to your recommendations, we had to have him try the legendary garlic butter steak tips and eggs at Mel's Diner.
