Family felt like getting some dinner old school food and this place did not disappoint. We called in to try to reserve. They told us to come in and got us a table(6 of us). Service was quick and great. Food did not disappoint.

Our first time coming to this diner and we love it! The warmth of the staff was a reminiscent of the 60s diners vibe. There are mat choices of food and it was good. As it is on Ventura Blvd so parking can be a little challenging despite the little parking in the back. And of course the vibe of the diner was vibrant.. we will be back.

My husband and I came in here and had the males a Patty melts unfortunately it wasn't all that satisfying I don't know it just didn't taste the same and a lot of other customers that were there this afternoon also said the same thing that the food really has changed the quantity and the quality I don't know if it's the way you prepare food or what but the food really didn't taste all that great the waitress you really try to work hard with us and trying to make it right but I'm not going to eat here again it's not like it used to be 4 or 5 years ago the food was really yummy and delicious I'm only giving a two-star for the food the atmosphere and the service was somewhat okay

Really tasty breakfast food. It was on the pricier side but the meals were very filling. I loved the retro diner vibe of the restaurant. Our server was very sweet and knowledgeable about the (very extensive) menu but they seemed to be a little understaffed, it was a bit difficult to wave someone down to get the check after we were finished. Still had a good experience overall!

Service was good, atmosphere was great—it's Mel's, that's the value proposition here—and the food was reasonably good; but shrinkflation has definitely arrived in the form of a minuscule BLT and majuscule prices on everything, with nothing much in the way of cheaper items. (It's Mel's, that's the value proposition here.) Heck, the menu is printed in like 8-point font so they can cram it onto a bifold for some reason.
It was nice to give my kid the Mel's experience, but I'm not hurrying back.

I sometimes come here for breakfast on the weekend mornings because I find this place truly relaxing. It has that “oldie” atmosphere which good, quiet music is a part of and the food seems to be made with better ingredients than most other places. Also, there are organic options for some things so that’s another place. A special shoutout to Ramiro for the consistent, excellent service that he’s been providing every time I come here!

Decided to try out this neighborhood place, finally, and I'm really glad I did. Got up early and decided to go out for breakfast, thought I'd try Mel's. It was early, before 7am, when I arrived on a Friday so it was quiet. It smelled really good as I walked in, so my taste buds were already waking up. Was helped and seated immediately, and after a quick perusal of the menu I chose the Bomb Breakfast Burrito with grilled potatoes, absolutely delicious! The accompanying coffee was also some of the best I've had in a diner. I will be making this a regular spot, highly recommended.
Always a great experience. My kids love the jukebox.

This was our first time visiting Mel's for our date night! Food was pretty good and came out quick. Most memorable part about our time here was the server...Rosey. She couldn't care less about us, only came when it was time to take our order or bring us food never to check in and see how things were going if we needed anything. And when she did, no enthusiasm or slight smile..just plopped everything onto the table. However we did see her servicing and communicating with others better, the white people.

Retro 50’s diner with juke boxes in the booths and on the counter.
The food is good but pricy.

It’s a 1950’s diner like Happy Days.
