“ Well, let me say this, since I was a little boy, I always love to go to Mel's Dairy Dream for a Steak sandwich with cheese and a large chocolate milkshake... Been going here since at least 1 a week for 40 years, and everything is still in place, and food is still surpassing expectations. They need more places like this, it never get old just to stand in line, and wait on something good. Believe me, it is worth the wait. ”

“ One of the original food spots in town. They have the best country style menu and the Steak Sandwich is delicious. But the best thing .... Their chocolate milkshakes. If you haven't had one, you need to. ”
“ I would rate Mel's Dairy Dream 10 stars for its exceptional customer service and warm hospitality. Mrs. Pam's hamburgers were delectable, and the ice cream was a delightful treat. The steak burger was cooked perfectly, and the fries were crispy with just the right amount of salt. As a first-time visitor to this charming town, I was impressed by the southern hospitality displayed at this establishment. I look forward to returning for more. ”
