We've been here a few times, but finally remembering to post a review this time! We sat outside on the patio this past visit because we brought our dog along with us. The outside patio was a cute little space with heaters. The food was delicious as always, and staff were very friendly. The server even told us about his childhood dog so it was a nice connection. I recommend eating inside when you can though because it's a cool old school vibe. Also, the hot chocolate was amazing and a lot bigger than expected!
Just moved to the area and wanted to try this place out. The service was awesome. My waiter was friendly and the food came out fast. I got the corn beef hash with house potatoes and it was great! Definitely want to come back.
As a fan of the long ago show, One Day at a Time, I tend to eat at Mel's whenever I'm in the neighborhood. The day before yesterday was one of those days.
The service was efficient and friendly, and the food, organic and delicious. I had the 4 cheese grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread. It was delicious, but it could have been better if the chef had used port wine cheddar instead of ordinary cheddar cheese. Chef, please email me when you make the suggested change in the recipe for grilled cheese sandwiches. I'll come back and re-review the grilled cheese sandwich. I also had a cup of meatball soup. It was outstanding.
There's free parking and outdoor seating with a peaked canvas roof. It's entirely open on all four sides, an ideal arrangement during a pandemic. This restaurant is accessible to differently abled patrons.
If you're in Sherman Oaks at mealtime, I recommend Mel's Drive-in on Ventura Blvd.
