Mel's Drive-in - Carta

Great diner, good food. It's worth checking out if downtown. Parking is in the garage, which isn't far from Mel's diner.

I went at midnight and the atmosphere was great, and the servers were super nice. They have good sandwiches and are one of the latest open in the area that serves full meals. Vegan and gluten free options.

This was my first time dining at this fantastic restaurant with my family, and we enjoyed the food, the ambiance, the service, and the friendly and welcoming staff. We had a great experience with our meals and drinks and would highly recommend this restaurant. Ver carta

This is a decent diner with a 50's vibe. When I went in for a quick bite, I found it to be spacious inside. The service was good, the food was decent, but the real selling point is the nostalgic atmosphere. If you're in the area and want a fast meal, definitely give this place a try.

Not to mention, the prices at Moscone Center for food can be outrageous. Mel's, located on the bottom floor of a parking structure, is a convenient option for those driving in for classes. Make sure to allow some time to enjoy a good breakfast before heading to your class. And don't forget to save room for one of their delicious Fountain desserts!

I don't get to visit here often since I have no reason to visit San Francisco due to how horrible it is currently. I loved coming here though. The restaurant is awesome and the food is amazing. Prices were good the last time I visited and the food was satisfying and delicious. It aleays teminds me of American Graffiti too since a Mel's was featured in that film. Ver carta

I recently dined at this restaurant for the first time in several years. The interior is pleasant and the surrounding area has improved in the last few months, although there is still less traffic than before the pandemic. I was disappointed with the French Dip sandwich, as it seemed to be lacking in portion size for the price. However, other menu options looked promising. The restaurant still retains its old-time charm and history, with good service. While the prices were slightly high, they were still reasonable.

The best part of Mel’s Drive In is its American diner atmosphere, complete with neon lights and jukeboxes scattered throughout. There is counter seating in front of the kitchen, as well as a mix of booth and table seating. The noise level can get a bit loud at times, adding to the bustling ambiance. The pricing at Mel’s Drive In is average for the quality of food being served. The service was good, with friendly staff and quick food delivery after ordering. Overall, Mel’s Drive In provides a nostalgic dining experience with good food and efficient service.

The service and experience is what drove up the rating, but if I was strictly rating the food, it would be 0 stars. Ordered several breakfast plates and the bacon was burnt and bitter. The hasbrowns were soggy. The omelet was OK. We also ordered dinner plates to go. My family cooks a lot of short ribs, so we thought we should give their Braised short rib a try. It was definitely not short rib, rather chick roast. The meat was very dry and lacked any flavor. The meatloaf was also very tough. The best part about dinner were the vegetable medley. Our family would not be coming back. Ver carta
