From the bright lights to the location on the Sunset Strip, Mel’s continues to delight thousands of diners every year. Even the building’s imagery is iconic, having appeared in TV over the years. Read more

Burgers , salads , fries etc. This is old fashion diner serves good food 24/7 in Hollywood. Jukebox 's on the table for you to choose your music...more 50's, 60's, 70's etc. (may require coin)?

Abdulrahman Fetyani

I saw Lindsay Lohan's picture eating in this place among other celebrities???? love the decorations here and music box was nice, classic Mel's burger with shack was heaven✌????

Quintessential American eatery complete with retro decor and friendly service . The menu offers all the diner classics you crave, from juicy burgers to fluffy pancakes . Love their chocolate milkshake !

Chris Deale

The one in Universal doesnt look like much after you have been to the original, this place is awesome. It real is straight out of the 50s

Emily Smith

One of my fave hang outs... I recommend: The steak & eggs (If ur hungry), the oreo cookie shake is incredible (if ur naughty), Chef 's Salad (if ur good), juice bar smoothies (if ur really good) :-)

Michael Parks

If you'd like to have a potluck to eat, try the 3 sliders combo. It's good if you don't feel like having a full-blown burger for the night!

Steve Johnston

At-mo-sphere! It doesn't get much more authentic than this. Great shakes , great burgers !

Steak sandwich was good and fun interior design . I wouldn't recommend the tasteless avocado on toast though

Thirsty James

Nice little outdoor patio to watch the Sunset Blvd traffic- avocado toast is bomb

Chad Tovar

Iconic place, food is fantastic, and if your really hungry order the lumberjack it's good!!!

Great breakfast in a genuine 1950ties atmosphere

Muthspell .

Had the Corned Beef Hash and French Toast . The waitress seemed a bit unfriendly. Could not get her to bring us the check for like 15min. In the end we went to another waitress at the front desk to pay

Chip Pecchio

For a healthy alternative , try the turkey hash & eggs with their homemade salsa and tortillas instead of toast . BYO breakfast burrito !

Always people to watch here, even if you're only watching the waitstaff . ;)
