Mel's Drive in

In September of 1985, this location became the first of the "Next Generation Mel's" to open. The restaurant was an immediate success as patrons of the original Mel's brought along their children to experience the legendary chicken pot pie, meatloaf, and Melburger that were the ambassadors of our home-style cooking in the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's. The restaurant's unique ability to satisfy the nostalgia pangs of its customers quickly prompted the Coors Beer and Goodrich Tire Companies to feature it in their television commercials, and Mel's has been a regular star of film and television ever since. Our coveted Cow Hollow location makes us convenient to the limitless shopping, entertainment, and sightseeing opportunites that the area offers.



Steven Weiss and partner Donald Wagstaff opened the first of the "Next Generation" Mel's Drive-ins in September of 1985. The restaurant, located at 2165 Lombard Street in San Francisco, appealed to families wanting to share the tastes, sights, and sounds of the 1950s drive-in era with their children. A little over two years later, a second location was established on Geary Boulevard, also in San Francisco. The next two restaurants opened in Los Angeles, one in Sherman Oaks and the other in West Hollywood on the Sunset Strip. Van Ness Avenue is home to the third San Francisco location, and the fourth opened its doors in November of 2000 next to the Sony Metreon Center in the Yerba Buena area. In the heart of Hollywood on the famous Hollywood Boulevard our fifth location was opened with a full-service Celebrity Bar.
