A local reviews Mel's Classic Diner in Pigeon Forge

There is a reason the classic American diner has endured from its heyday in the 1950s into modern times. And it goes well beyond nostalgia. You give the right person a griddle and a few classic ingredients, and magic happens. There are a lot of great dining options in the mountains, including some truly fantastic, high-end choices. But sometimes, you just want a classic burger and crispy French fries. Also, if you’re feeling indulgent, a classic banana split for dessert is the way to go.

For more than 30 years, Mel’s Classic Diner – located on Wears Valley Road in Pigeon Forge – has been dishing out classic American Diner fare from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday to Thursday and until midnight Friday and Saturday. Mel's is closed Sundays.........
