Mel's Diner is one of the most popular places in the park for a bite to eat. A classic fifties diner, Mel's serves some of the best burgers, fries, and thick chocolate shakes in the park.
The atmosphere is pure fifties and there are a few more exotic choices on the menu for the daring (anyone for a buffalo burger?).
Be prepared for long lines as there are relatively few places in the park that sell burgers and fries and Mel's is usually packed with families with children.
During peak season, have someone in your party stake out a table while someone else waits in line, because seating can be scarce.
