There's free parking for customers. After working out at Equinox or SoulCycle Union Street, get the Mel Burger and make it 1/2 lb for added protein. Inhaled it after SoulCycle. Feeling satisfied!
Low-calorie turkey hash with two eggs is a great healthy selection for breakfast . Avoid the French dip -- they microwaved the baguette . Fries are great!
My tip is don't try the French Dip , especially if you like to have some meat in your sandwich . The Avocado Bacon burger was one of the best burgers I have ever had, and I've had plenty. French Dip NO!
I came here for breakfast and as written in other comments it is a bit pricey (~21 $ with tips). The food was super yummy
Got the supreme burger with curly fries , always a safe bet ;) Nothing spectacular but it was nice, go there if you want an American atmosphere in your lunch
I ordered the lumber jack and clearly I am not one! Sooo much yummy food. Love this place... Food and service! Plus there is a fresh juice bar !
It was a great bkfast, really good coffee , fresh squeezed yummy OJ , and the music off the jukeboxes keeps on rollin - my endorphins are elevated !!
Hungry, you have to stop here. Good food, great value , and breakfast anytime. Get the steak and eggs !!!
The espresso , and strawberry milkshakes are fantastic
Their hamburgers are awesome. Try'em all. Fresh juices instead are very healthy. Try'em as well .
Service was quick, waitress was friendly , and place was clean . The food wasn't amazing but for the price very good. One of the only places open at 6:30 AM so it was good for us!
Delicious food with good services , it's little bit pricey .
Bring Quarter to play your song while having the special " Mel's thik French toast "
The Steak and Eggs and Potatoes for $8.95 is the best bargain at Mels. Served all day 24/7 Fri, Sat, nights song along to SWEET CAROLINE.
Still a great spot for cheese burgers ,fries and shakes .
Get the grilled cheese and braised beef sandwich . It's a winner
I always order from the Mel's juice-bar: with just the veggies to balance the rest of what I came for.
Good selection of breakfast food , but on the expensive side. Expect spending $45 for two.
Best 50's decoration!! Great food & services!!
The home-made corned beef hash is delicious and they open at 6:00 AM
Greasy, tasty, yummy... and a beloved Americana classic in SF!
It's a must! Steaks are realy good! (just like our argentine ones)
Yell for coffee .. They get busy and forgetful at times :)
Milkshakes and gravy fries were awesome! Fast friendly service .
Close to our motel , very friendly service . Would dine here again!
Thanks Sandra for your kindness and smile, we've had a great time here! Mel's burger is delicious!!
Great place to have delicious milkshakes !
Play a song from the jukebox !
Great black and white milkshake . Love their curly fries too.
Very good burgers !
Delicious breakfast
Fantastic breakfast here
Patty melt was a pile of unseasoned ground beef jammed into only the center of the bread and cooked to well instead of my requested medium. This place has gone downhill, don't waste your money. ????
Try the Apple Pie a la Mode - Big enough for two...or more?!
Try the Grilled Cheese & Pesto Sandwich - Served w/ beets !
The San Francisco hot dog is awesome!
The *new* expresso milkshake is AMAZING! the best if you like coffee
Shakes , burgers , desserts , and drinks.
Tell them to take it easy on the chocolate sauce in a black and white.
Try the chicken and waffles !
Get chili on Fridays clam chowder
Burgers are great. Try the chilli burger
Take your time at this place - enjoy the atmosphere and great food!!!
It's kind of hit or miss here, but, breakfast is always good.
Meatloaf was cold in the center & hard as a rock.
Patty Melt
Love this place. Great brkfst
Grandma’s chicken soup with noodles ????
The food was OK, service was slow and seemed stressed out, items were forgotten or prepared incorrectly, and the overall experience was underwhelming. Oh, and the juke box are one of our quarters :-(
The burgers do not come with fries . It cost $1.75 to add fries to the already expensive burgers . Sandwich 's on the other hand come with fries . I suggest the Turkey Melt .
You get complementary scones with homemade jams. The pancakes are incredible. My favorites are the special mixed juices. - Markus Gögele
Good and cheap! (Compared with all options around). Reuben sandwich ???? is huge and tasty! - Gsus S.S.
So beautiful! The houses nearby are very beautiful as well. - Secil Sanseven
Very interesting place, good for a walk because the surroundings are very nice, close to ghirardelli square - Rodrigo Artavia
