Dined at the Mel's location on Mission. The food was good, normal diner fare. I was disappointed that the buttery, delicious fries they had back in the day were replaced by regular shoestring fries. They were wonderfully crispy though. The wait staff are very busy, but available as they were waiting on a large family group with kids. The restaurant was busy (around 1030-1100), but our order arrived to our table very quickly. This location was very clean and had a nice diner atmosphere, especially if you sat on the counter seats. I would visit this location again next time I'm visiting the city.

This is a great diner! The food was reasonable for the area. $12-20/plate. There's any kind of breakfast, lunch, dinner you could want. I had the chicken soup which was also good. I'm not sure about vegan or vegetarian options. Kids will love it. There's parking beside the building, but I don't know how much it is. … More

Found this place using Google maps while in the bay area. I've always liked 50s style diners. The atmosphere was very 50s. Traditional styling for the Era. The service wasn't too bad either. They were quite busy and still stayed on top of things. The food wasn't Supreme, I mean I can't even remember what I had. But I know it wasn't bad. I do know that this Mel's is cheaper than the one across town. Overall, I do recommend this place for sure. I think we will be going again when we are in the area.
