We come here several times a month. Food is delicious. Friendly attentive staff. It's a great diner experience. They also have a parking lot. We usually come for brunch, but this time it was dinner. I tried the chick pot pie which instantly reminded me of my childhood. Highly recommend!
I've been to all Mel's locations in the city in the last month, and this one has given me the best service and best plate even though i ordered a simple waffle plate that comes with an egg and bacon it was well prepared to my liking. I will definitely be returning here soon
Breakfast was good. But $28 before tip? Eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast, coffee, orange juice. I think I paid less at the Meridian Hotel in downtown.
We had not been to Mel's for quite some time, but this trip up to SF we knew we were definitely going there for lunch. I had the Mom's Turkey Dinner, it was fabulous, especially the stuffing, I love stuffing, and the red potato mash was so creamy and full of flavor. They only use fresh turkey breast and it tasted like it...melts in your mouth. My daughter had the fabulous root beer float and the French dip sandwich. She did not leave a crumb behind. The ice cream tasted like homemade, as did the root beer. The French dip has the freshest roll to complete the very tender roast beef. Yum. and the juice was tangy and plentiful. I would of given them 5 stars, but the bottled Kraft mayo and ranch dressing put us off. Other than that, you cannot go wrong getting a true home style meal here.
Recently visited Mel's and had a great time. The friendly Latino staff is bilingual and helps you order based on your personal preferences. The steak was delicious and the Aesthetics of the restaurant takes you back in time with its authentic atmosphere. Mel's restaurants treats Queens as Queens and gives roses to moms on Mother's day. Mel's Drive In is a must visit restaurant! Highly recommended.
Was so sad that the mini jukeboxes at the table were not working we always sit by a jukebox table and play the music what we want to hear they should really fix those that's part of the charm! Besides that I still like going to Mel's good food getting to be a little expensive though but what are you going to do.

Definitely a very good diner!
To begin with, being in SF, it had parking (seemed very safe) - Win! Win! Win!
Vibe - Suddenly transcended to the vintage America. Potion sizes - American Size Jumbo, Furniture, gum ball machine and jukebox(though they don’t work) will give you the American experience!
Food - As a vegetarian with a partner that can’t have eggs, we found limited options. Having said so, it’s supposed to be a vintage diner - not sure if we were expecting a little too much!
Mac and cheese: Godly! Amazing! Not the first option for breakfast, but incredible!
Black bean veggie burger: Much above average but a little dry.
Mimosas: I’d say they were quite authentic! $5!
Chocolate Milkshake: Must try!! Heaven! It’ll be a little too heavy for 1 person, so reevaluate before order, and note- always room for chocolate milkshake!
Service: as expected, diner styled. The waiter was kind enough to have our chocolate milkshake in Togo boxes without smirking(yes, we’ve faced this in other diners).
Price: we’ll a little overprice, but it’s a diner in SF! What’re we even expecting! I mean we all have overspent for breakfast, this is way under over-spent threshold though. Our bill for 4 items came to around $40ish!!
Definitely recommended once for vegetarian people. For food maybe other options are best but chocolate milkshake and Mac and cheese, let your gym trainers know you are cheating it right!
Very classic diner vibes!! Grilled cheese was delicious though a bit overpriced. $5 fries plate is a LOT of fries but that’s good because they are delicious skinny fries with a nice crunch in the outside. Chocolate cake goes crazy and they give you the left over milkshake that doesn’t fit in your glass. See you there!!
We have stopped in many times to Mel's Drive In. For Service, Food and our nice wait staff... I wanted to say his name is John - nicest Asian person worked in p.m. was so much fun. From the first time we had him and yesterday, hysterical, loved his attentiveness to all customers and jokes we heard. so many favorites meatloaf, hot dog and onion rings, breakfasts.SUPER great place to chill, this is now our favorite hangout.
....impossible burger... not bad at all. pretty easy to find and convenient since it's right along Geary Blv. The great thing about this place is that it has a free parking lot right in front of the restaurant.
