Mel's Burger Joint
|
"Not A Fast Food
Establishment"
|
Mel and Don recently retired from the
8-5 rat race, and moved to Copperas Cove, TX, to be near their daughter
and grandson. They needed to have something to do, other than
drive their daughter crazy, so decided to open a Burger Joint. They
were looking for something like Ty's Diner, in Wichita, KS. It is a
friendly place, that serves great burgers and fries. Hence, Mel's
Burger Joint was born in Copperas Cove.
The first priority was to provide good food, and service, with a friendly smile.
To get the food part, Mel, Don and daughter Leslie ate hamburgers
for months. The trio finally settled on a special beef, with a 81/19
blend.
The pickles went through a similar process, with the tasters eating every
type of pickle they could buy. They finally settled on two brands
that met the taste test. A kosher filet was finally selected.
French fries are fresh cut 12 ounce Idaho Russet #1 potatoes. The
crew shows up early every morning to wash, scrub, and cut the fries for
that days business. A full order of fries, is enough for two adults
to share! They are deep fried in 100% canola oil.
Mel's has recently added something new to their menu. Texas' own
Blue Bell ice cream. They make old fashion shakes and malts. What
could be better then a big juicy burger, fries and a shake?!
As for the friendly part, stop in and say "howdy," you won't be
disappointed!!
