Mel's Drive-in 
bookmark add photo write a review this is my business
Steven Weiss and partner Donald Wagstaff opened the first of the "Next Generation" Mel's Drive-ins in September of 1985. The restaurant, located at 2165 Lombard Street in San Francisco, appealed to families wanting to share the tastes, sights, and sounds of the 1950s drive-in era with their children. A little over two years later, a second location was established on Geary Boulevard, also in San Francisco. The next two restaurants opened in Los Angeles, one in Sherman Oaks and the other in West Hollywood on the Sunset Strip. Van Ness Avenue is home to the third San Francisco location, and the fourth opened its doors in November of 2000 next to the Sony Metreon Center in the Yerba Buena area. The most recent addition to the Mel's family is our Hollywood & Highland location complete with a full-service Celebrity Bar.

The BEST turkey burger I have ever had!
There's a Mel's in San Francisco, whose driveway is packed full from the time they open until the time they close - such is it with this Mel's as well. A hamburger is an American Classic, and Mel's is definately The American Classic drive-in of all times, simply said - They're #1.
great diner!!
Yum Yum Yum - they are worth the monthly drive in from Las Vegas - Way to Go
Gotta love the 50's.
