Mel's Drive-In

One of the few old-fashioned American diners in San Francisco. Serves good diner food at the San Francisco prices

Wow! They now have a fresh raw juice bar . $5.50 for 16 ozs! Many fruits and veg to choose from. Pick your own, mix and match. Yum.

Try the butterscotch milk shake and the famous Mels burger with potato chips and American cheese , it's very good :-)

Good service , friendly staff , clean facility and nice spot in the area for brunch .

Enjoy the breakfast in this old fashioned place.

Loved the old fashioned breakfast.

Classic dinner food with some modern twists thrown in there.

That pancakes were amazing; so light and sooo good. Breakfast was great value for money .

You can’t go wrong with the Mac and Cheese .

People love hating on Mel's, but you come here for nostalgia as much as you come for really greasy diner food

Supreme burger , substitute swiss cheese for the American and get the curly fries with chili , cheese and grilled onions .. so good!

Pulled pork grilled cheese was to die for!!!

Breakfast is the best option for the price. Milkshakes are great!

Oreo milkshake was delicious and it was made quickly!

MAAAN THAT OTHER DUDE LYIN THE TUNA MELT IS NOT ACTUALLY GREAT IT TASTES LIKE WHAT PEPPER TASTES LIKE

Always what you expect!Great mood as well

This location is open 24 hours and has its own parking lot .

Their kitchen smells, and it stinks up most of the counter area when they walk in and out of there

My faves are the Orange Freeze, hot fudge sundaes and hot apple pie ala mode

The tap water taste better than my mac and cheese . :( Mac and cheese taste like dirty table water. :( so sad. Quinoa and kale salad just needs a bit of lemon and its good

Always perfect for after party

It is a fast food like macdonald but more home feeling

3 eggs !!.......

Order some brown gravy to dip your french fries in! Delicious!

The original Mel's and also the one that was featured in American Graffiti

Not Mel’s best location: greasy food and sloppy service.

Try the butterscotch milkshake !

Denzel Washington's best performance to date.

There's outdoor seating but the servers are likely to forget you're out there. Service is hit or miss. Good as late night dining after drinking.

Breakfast Steak and Eggs .

Try the New Orleans scramble.

Early dinner & $9 milk shakes I don’t think so

Malts are awesome!

Check out the strawberry milk shake !

Out of helium. Go down the street to Sparky's Balloons on 12 Clement st. for your balloon needs.

You should get a chocolate milkshake !!

Their burgers n shakes rock!

Don't try the huevos rancheros ... But the sliders are good.

Chili cheese fries .

The tuna melt is great!

Chili cheese curly fries with grilled onions

Sweet potato fries are a must!

French toast !

Turkey sliders ... so good!

I severely love this place!

Service here is terrible, but then again, it's Mel's. So I guess you should lower the bar automatically.

The malts actually taste like malt .

Low fat chocolate yogurt shake WITH malt .

Probably the worst food I've had in San Francisco. And I'm a sucker for diners.

Worst meal I have had in my life. Every item we ordered was wrong. The onion rings were burnt so badly
