Mel's Hard Luck Diner

Address: 2800 West Highway, W 76 Country Blvd, Branson, MO

Debarshi and I always look for small local places during my travels. Some small restaurant owned by mom and pop or hole in the wall. This time we discovered this absolute gem in Silver Dollar City. Foodies, you must visit Mel’s Hard Luck Diner. It’s a cute little place with live singing. The waiters and waitresses sing and they do it between taking your orders. It’s not a place to have a serious conversation but to sit back, relax and enjoy. Even Prisha (3 years old) had a great time 🙂

The portion sizes are good and so delicious 😋 it’s a small local place and worth going.

I had a chicken steak dinner with mashed potatoes, bread, gravy and sweet corn.

Debarshi had a Philly cheese steak sandwich and Prisha had her favorite hot dog 🌭 with fries 🍟

We shared the dessert and it was so huge that it took every inch of our belly and will power to finish it 🙂
