From the bright lights to the location on the Sunset Strip, Mel’s continues to delight thousands of diners every year. Even the building’s imagery is iconic, having appeared in TV over the years. Read more

Burgers, salads, fries etc. This is old fashion diner serves good food 24/7 in Hollywood. Jukebox's on the table for you to choose your music...more 50's, 60's, 70's etc. (may require coin)?

I saw Lindsay Lohan's picture eating in this place among other celebrities👍 love the decorations here and music box was nice, classic Mel's burger with shack was heaven✌💕

The one in Universal doesnt look like much after you have been to the original, this place is awesome. It real is straight out of the 50s

One of my fave hang outs... I recommend: The steak & eggs (If ur hungry), the oreo cookie shake is incredible (if ur naughty), Chef's Salad (if ur good), juice bar smoothies (if ur really good) :-)

If you'd like to have a potluck to eat, try the 3 sliders combo. It's good if you don't feel like having a full-blown burger for the night!

Nice little outdoor patio to watch the Sunset Blvd traffic- avocado toast is bomb
Chad TovarFebruary 24, 2015
Iconic place, food is fantastic, and if your really hungry order the lumberjack it's good!!!

At-mo-sphere! It doesn't get much more authentic than this. Great shakes, great burgers!

First time here during the day- $4 mimosas! Sliders are bomb! Great people watching, great for the drunk crowd when all the bars close.

Steak sandwich was good and fun interior design. I wouldn't recommend the tasteless avocado on toast though
Omar SanchezApril 26, 2019
Amazing!!... food is great and the place is beautifully stuck in the 50s... a must everytime in LA.

I usually come here if I've been drinking on Sunset. Hollywood location is too far. Burger & fries. Yummy
Darryl MunsonJuly 21, 2015
Great location, hamburger cooked to liking...it was very tasty. 70's decor. Good seating inside and outside.

Good late night eats whilst people watching. Try the goat cheese and turkey sliders. They are devine! :-)'''

The corn beef hash was excellent, the fries are dinomite, but the coffee.. all I can say is screw Starbucks!

A classic holiday diner with monthly specials. There is a large menu, so take your time perusing through.

Just felt in love with this 70's American style restaurant, great for a really early morning breakfast.

For a healthy alternative, try the turkey hash & eggs with their homemade salsa and tortillas instead of toast. BYO breakfast burrito!
Porfirio PinaMay 13, 2014
The steel cut oatmeal and egg whites omelette with spinach and mushrooms. Cholula on the side.

Had the Corned Beef Hash and French Toast. The waitress seemed a bit unfriendly. Could not get her to bring us the check for like 15min. In the end we went to another waitress at the front desk to pay
