"I was born in Hollywood, California at the Kaiser down the street from this place and never eaten here. I got to enjoy dinner here on a weekday. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Server did an excellent job attending to our every need. Super friendly. Food was very delicious a must try if you've never been here. Kids meals come in these classic car cardboard boxes kids would really enjoy. Left content and wanting to return."

"We had a fun time stopping into Mel’s for a quick meal. It has a great atmosphere with classic diner vibes. We ordered a Tuna Melt, Reuben, and French Dip, plus a side of French fries—the fries were especially good. For dessert, we shared the chocolate cookie with ice cream. The service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a fun and nostalgic meal."

"Mels Drive-In on Sunset Boulevard is an absolute classic and one of my favorite spots in L.A.! From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with that nostalgic diner vibe, cozy booths, and great music that instantly puts you in a good mood. Everything we tried was amazing, but the braised beef grilled cheese deserves a special shout-out, it was perfectly crispy on the outside, loaded with tender, flavorful beef and melted cheese. Total comfort food heaven! The staff were friendly and attentive, even though the place was busy, and the service felt genuinely warm. The milkshakes and fries were also fantastic, exactly what you’d hope for in a classic American diner. Whether you’re visiting L.A. or a local looking for that old-school Hollywood charm, Mels Drive-In is a must. Great food, great energy, and that perfect mix of nostalgia and fun."

"if you are ever catching a show at the comedy store and looking for food after, go to mel’s dinner. the banana split was jaw dropping (i mean look at the picture). the fries are good. the entire menu is to die for. plus you may never know who you will run into."

"It has to be five stars. We felt very comfortable. The service was extremely friendly and prompt. It was excellent and of very high quality. It's clean, and the decor is magical. Back to the 1950s. Parking free"
