Mel's Drive-In is a delightful nod to classic Americana, nestled in San Francisco’s bustling Lombard Street. The cozy diner atmosphere transported me straight back to the ‘50s, complete with vibrant decor and friendly staff.
I sampled the southern fried chicken and the Creole fried chicken sandwich, both bursting with flavor and evoking a homemade touch. The fries were simple yet satisfying, though they could use a pinch more seasoning.
Don't skip the milkshake - it's the best I've had in years! 😊
While prices felt a bit high for a casual diner, the ambiance and quick service made it an enjoyable outing overall. Perfect for families and groups!
