More information on Mel's Drive-in on Van Ness

Mel's Drive-in on Van Ness is the sister restaurant to Mel's on Lombard Street and is often filled to bursting with tourists due to its location. However, that does not make it any less fun. When you finally secure a table, order a frosty milkshake and peruse the menu for the most outrageously calorie-packed item you can find. From meat loaf plates to enormous hamburgers to truly soothing Chicken Noodle Soup, the menu has it all. It is the perfect place to take younger siblings or rowdy friends or a date.Takeaway available.
