Food is great and service is wonderful. Everything is as expected for a diner experience. They have all the food you might consider plus healthy options you might not expect a diner to offer. We had a great waitress who was thoughtful and kind to every customer which was nice to see. The reason for the atmosphere score is the tough customers that wander into the establishment. Saw a likely homeless person order a piece of pie and walk out without paying. It’s sad but I guess part of the deal in San Fran.
This is the definition of a great American diner. We stopped in for breakfast, though they offered lunch and dinner as well. We sat at the bar and was promptly attended to with menus and drinks. Breakfast was exactly what you'd expect from a diner like this. It's absolutely perfect. I would've had breakfast here every day of our trip if it were up to me. Use the parking garage 100ft. from the restaurant, it's $5 for an hour. You won't be disappointed.
We went around 8 PM and the attention and burger and MALT were all just fantastic. Malts were THICK with lots of real whip cream. Burger was hot at the cheddar was great quality. Service was fun and impeccable. Jukeboxes at tables -very cool. Great times on at all times. Make sure you see either Happy Days the series, or American graffiti the movie by George Lucas and you will LOVE the awesome decor! $20 for a burger and fries was a bit high for me, but flavors and freshness were right when you're on vacation.
We were in town for a conference last week and stopped in twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both times, the service and food were wonderful! A bit pricey for diner food, but the quality of the food and the ambiance made it worth it. My husband enjoyed the reuben and corned beef hash and I had the burrito. The ingredients were fresh, the portions were large, and the fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious. We had a big day planned after breakfast, and were in and out quickly despite the restaurant becoming increasingly busy. Overall, we had a great experience and look forward to eating here again on our next visit!
Mel’s Drive-In is a solid choice if you’re looking for a classic diner experience. The menu has a little bit of everything, from traditional breakfast plates to burgers and lighter options. I went with the avocado toast, and it didn’t disappoint—the eggs were poached perfectly, everything tasted fresh, and it was served hot. The service stood out just as much as the food. My waiter was attentive without being overbearing and kept my coffee cup full the entire time. The retro decor adds to the charm, making it feel like a proper old-school diner. It’s also conveniently close to the Marriott Marquis, and I’m glad I chose it over the hotel restaurant. If you’re in the area and want a great meal with good service, it’s worth stopping by.
