Mel's Drive-In is a classic eatery that offers a nostalgic dining experience. The menu features favorites such as Oreo milkshakes, fish and fries, and a spicy chicken burger. The Party Melt and 3 Deck are popular choices that satisfy. The ambiance is old-school, with a friendly staff providing excellent customer service. While the prices may be slightly higher, the overall experience is enjoyable, especially for families with children who are treated kindly.
The restaurant's setting and atmosphere evoke a vintage diner feel. Customers have praised the fried chicken for its crispiness and juiciness, while the smashburger has received mixed reviews. The meatloaf and short rib are described as surprisingly tender and delicious. The Yuppie Joe's Scramble is a recommended breakfast item, and the food is described as fresh and delicious, with hand-cut fries. The Apple Crisp dessert is also noted as being a large portion for the price.
