One of my fav breakfast diners in San Francisco. I particularly recommend the Yuppie Joe's Scramble. Gorgeous.
Update October 2025: after a couple of years of really minimal footfall in this area, I'm delighted to see San Francisco is on the recovery path. Today it was really busy, an Autumnal October Sunday morning. And what's more, as you'd kinda expect, the busier the breakfast griddle gets, the better the food coming off it. Awesome this morning. Thanks for sticking it out through the hard times, Mel's.

The tomato soup tasted more like thick pasta sauce, and the turkey club had the most flavorless, dry turkey I’ve ever had. I left feeling genuinely disappointed because I really wanted this to be a classic, authentic diner experience.

Mel's was a super fun experience and the authenticity was on point! We all enjoyed the food, and everything was so fresh. The burger was definitely fresh meat, and the fries tasted hand cut. We stumbled across the place as we were exploring the city, but I would absolutely come back!
mediocre food, vastly overpriced. wait staff were not helpful,very abrupt, took ages to come abd get our order (despite only 3 other tables in)

The food was delicious I ordered the New Yorker with the 3 eggs and it’s delicious!! Their service isn’t attentive they tend to talk amongst each other too much. They are nice people! I also tried their dessert the Apple Crisp and was huge for the price.

Place was decent, food was decent, but the service had a little to be desired. Acted put off that we ordered water. Brought us Luke warm water with no ice and then acted put off again when I asked for a cup of ice.
