Our first time coming to this diner and we love it! The warmth of the staff was a reminiscent of the 60s diners vibe. There are mat choices of food and it was good. As it is on Ventura Blvd so parking can be a little challenging despite the little parking in the back. And of course the vibe of the diner was vibrant.. we will be back.

Decided to try out this neighborhood place, finally, and I’m really glad I did. Got up early and decided to go out for breakfast, thought I’d try Mel’s. It was early, before 7am, when I arrived on a Friday so it was quiet. It smelled really good as I walked in, so my taste buds were already waking up. Was helped and seated immediately, and after a quick perusal of the menu I chose the Bomb Breakfast Burrito with grilled potatoes, absolutely delicious! The accompanying coffee was also some of the best I’ve had in a diner. I will be making this a regular spot, highly recommended.

Really tasty breakfast food. It was on the pricier side but the meals were very filling. I loved the retro diner vibe of the restaurant. Our server was very sweet and knowledgeable about the (very extensive) menu but they seemed to be a little understaffed, it was a bit difficult to wave someone down to get the check after we were finished. Still had a good experience overall!

What’s not like an amazing old school diner? I ordered home-made corn beef hash and two eggs over easy with hashbrowns and endless coffee sour dough toast unfortunately not in the photo. Please forgive me it was early hence the pace was very quiet. I also had a hangover helper juice would highly recommend this place to anybody And the staff were amazingly nice. Will definitely come back tomorrow morning.

So honest time. Only reason I found or even knew about this place was due to the fact it came up on an episode of the Golden Bachelor. And I said to myself that reminds me of an old Diner I used to visit when I was a kid.
The location we went to on our to our Thursday Night Football Game was in Sherman Oaks on Ventura. The place looks like it was one of their first locations, your greeted right away the moment you walk in and everyone is dressed like the 1920’s.
They have something for everyone’s indulgences. I got one of their burgers on grilled sourdough and their crisp fries with a side of ranch. Everything was perfect!
I enjoyed every minute of it and I’m sure you will too.

This place is great!! Came here to eat dinner on a Friday evening and it was a relatively pleasant experience. The food was tasty, I ordered the clam chowder with chicken tenders. The clam chowder was very delicious, and the tenders were good but a little bit hard to chew and more on the bland side. The vibe of this restaurant is what really stood out – perfect old school, vintage style diner. Their amazing shakes here are also something positive to consider. Will definitely come here again, the location of this restaurant is also very convenient.

I sometimes come here for breakfast on the weekend mornings because I find this place truly relaxing. It has that “oldie” atmosphere which good, quiet music is a part of and the food seems to be made with better ingredients than most other places. Also, there are organic options for some things so that’s another place. A special shoutout to Ramiro for the consistent, excellent service that he’s been providing every time I come here!

Mel’s Drive-In is the perfect spot for a classic American diner experience! Their brunch is delicious, with fresh produce and perfectly cooked eggs. The juices and smoothies are fresh and yummy. I could feel the strong ginger in one of them. I saw a lot of family dining here. A great spot for brunch with family and friends! Parking in the back although space is quite limited.

I had a very unpleasant experience at Mel’s Diner that left me feeling embarrassed and upset. From the moment I arrived, I felt unwelcome. The manager and another staff member whispered, snickered, and made disparaging looks and remarks toward me. It was incredibly unprofessional and made me feel judged and uncomfortable.
On top of that, the waitress harassed and finessed me into signing up for an email listing, promising I’d receive free ice cream as a reward. However, when the bill came, I was told I would be charged for the ice cream and that they’d remove the charge and then recharge me again. It was such a complicated and confusing situation that left me frustrated. Honestly, I could’ve just gone to the store and bought my own ice cream without the headache and stress this caused me.
As for the food, it was just average—nothing above or below expectations. It was edible and decent but not remarkable. I had the turkey dinner, which was a good portion, and the chicken wings, which were cooked very crispy.
I was so embarrassed with how I was treated that I walked out of the restaurant upset and furious. It was not a great situation, and based on my experience, I cannot recommend anyone to visit.
