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, though some customers have found the dishes to be average in terms of flavor and quantity. The fried chicken, however, is praised for its crispiness and juiciness. The smashburger has received mixed reviews, with some finding it lacking in flavor, while the meatloaf and short rib are described as surprisingly tender and delicious.
