There are few places as fabulous and as nostalgic as the Mel's Drive-In. This amazing eatery is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner any night of the week, and in true diner style they're open late for any late-night cravings. The very first Mel's dates back to 1947 when the original carhop opened in San Francisco and was made famous by the 1973 movie "American Graffiti." Today, many diners still crave a taste of the 1950s, when the days seemed less complicated and frenzied, and the spirit of that time lives on at Mel's in Santa Monica. From the minute you see the giant neon sign, you know you're in for a treat. The decor is a modern take on the '50s with comfy booths, counter seating, and tabletop jukeboxes for playing your favorite tunes. The deliciously nostalgic food is what keeps bringing guests back, with popular breakfast favorites including their famous New York steak and eggs, homemade corned beef hash and eggs, skillets, French toast, and more. For lunch or dinner there are gourmet burgers, sandwiches, salads, and dinner entrees like Mel's Southern fried chicken, all-American meatloaf, homemade turkey dinner, and slow braised short rib. Beer and wine service is available or get a vitamin boost from the juice and smoothie bar, and no trip to Mel's is complete without a creamy milkshake or decadent dessert. Also offering delivery and catering, Mel's Drive-In is a tasty step back in time you'll be eager to return to again and again.
