This was the worst experience at a deli/restaurant/service place I have ever been involved in.

This 24 hour diner has the worst service in the city.

We showed up at 2 a.m. craving poutine after a late night of working. We drove up and decided to get the poutine to go but when we saw some people sitting outside we decided to eat our poutine outside on the patio. We were immediately told that we were not allowed to eat outside on the patio eventhough another couple were just served drinks out there. I asked why they were allowed and I was told that they were VIPs and they could do whatever they want. So since we already started eating our food we wanted to eat inside and not get our car dirty with the gravy. We were pretty much thrown out by the 5 dirt covered workers and said that we couldn't eat there since we ordered take out. There were plenty of seats inside and it wouldn't have been any issues for cleaning up after us since we had everything in a styrofoam box. We were told that since we ordered take out we have to leave and that every restaurant would say the same thing.

Even McDonalds would let you sit down even if you ordered take out.

I couldn't believe that such service is even possible in someone's mind that owns a place of business.

I hope that no one ever go eats there just like I will never go eat there.

you're a cheap ass idiot who's obviously clueless about the restaurant industry, why did you order your food "to go" when you wanted to eat in? is it to avoid tipping? server's live on tips, they don't have health care and get paid less than seven bucks an hour. go back to the suburbs you fat fool.
mel's is a sub par place for grub but it's damn reliable.
