Reviews for Mel's Drive-In Hollywood in Los Angeles, CA
Don't hesitate to stop in! Being such an iconic spot in Hollywood I was excited to enjoy a meal here. What's cool is you're... able to select music over the jukeboxes that are set up around the restaurant. Music selection is solid, but the food is evenmore so. There are some great photos around the place of celebrities who have dined here as well. The food is absolutelydelicious. Service is friendly and prompt. I don't think we waited more than 10 minutes to get out food. Mel's Diner is theplace to be! Read more
I read reviews and someone said the sunset burger was the ?best burger? they ever had. Those are strong words. So I decided to... try it. Let me tell you what?s in it. it?s only toasted bread, cheese, icebergs lettuce, red onion, and pickles. No spread orsauce and some dry as* patty. Yes the service are bad as well. The only thing good was the strawberry milkshake. Read more
We had lunch here. Western food like hamburger and sandwich. Pretty good. Portion is not too big, but this place is full of old... American atmosphere like the 70s. We love this place and it is really unique in terms of decor. The food is common American andstandardized. Read more
The food was great. It lived up to its expectations. The sweet potato fries were crispy and had a good flavor. Sometimes, other... places cook them & they are tasteless and soggy but these were excellent. The omelette was a large size and also full of flavor& tasted as the description read. The only issue I had, which wasn?t a big one, was that the table was sticky & the restaurantwas so packed that our service was a bit slow (for refills). That speaks volumes for how good the food is. I would recommendgoing if you are a movie buff and hungry. Read more
When today in the afternoon. My mother and I were really in the mood to eat breakfast! They had the option to get breakfast for... the afternoon which was good. We ordered the corn beef hash with sides of hash browns and griddle potatoes. As for parking aslong as you get your ticket validated at the restaurant it?s only 3.50 for the first 60 minutes. The vibe was also very awesomeand great waiters and waitresses! Read more
We had been wanting to try Mel?s Drive-In for awhile now and finally decided it was time. We went last night a little more than... an hour before closing. I loved the theme and the music. The food was great! The cherry pie was delicious. They make an amazingblueberry martini too. Everyone was super friendly. Read more
I had to come here for its iconic nature is a big allure for me being that it?s a diner I love brunch foods? The atmosphere was... just like I expected! Food was pretty good I just had issues with service being slow and it wasn?t busy at all. My Bloody Marytasted off and was filled with spices it tasted like salt and pepper only and my celery was old and they were out of olives forit. My shake was excellent and very crispy salted fries! I suggest getting lunch over breakfast here. Read more
Came here after walking around Hollywood a bit and wasn't expecting much but I was surprised tbh. First the ambience is... fantastic giving you that fantastic old school diner vibe. I really enjoyed seeing the old music boxes on the tables with theturnstile knob to select a song. Haven't seen those since I was a kid in NJ. Now on to the food. I ordered the BLT on white withfries and wasn't disappointed because as some know I love bacon lol. Crunchy and tasteful and the fries were really good too. Mywife had ordered the chicken fingers and she too said they were really, really good. I sampled a bite, crunchy and flavorful.The service was a bit slow but I believe they only had 2 waitresses working but she was working her heart out. I am sad I can'trecall her name because she was a sweetheart. Overall enjoyed my experience here. Stop by and have a quick bite to eat. Read more
