We loved this restaurant. The food actually taste fresh. After traveling the states for 4 weeks this would have to be one of the better places we've eaten. I cant understand why it has gotten such average reviews! More

We always loved Mel's dinner on Sunset but this year it was a lot worse. We ate one lunch there and one breakfast because our hotel was near there. Both the lunch and the breakfast were pretty bad. They also don't serve the kids meals in the cool cars like they did in the past. We were disappointed. More

The location is close to the strip which was convenient, but was expecting it to be fun. Hostess was nice, but waiter was just average. Food was good. Was really expecting this to be a fun dining experience, but ended up being just another meal out. More

Until now I just had breakfast at Mel's - "stephens omlette" is my favourite - but after a particular late night, ordering a Breakfast at 14:00 felt wrong. Mel's has a full menu - of course - and also has wine by the glass. Now if they would just have Hefeweizen, it would be 5 out of 5! More

We went here for breakfast one morning. They have a diverse menu so anyone can find something to eat. I wanted to try a smoothie but ended up getting an entree. More

We went here for lunch whilst on a bus tour of LA and really enjoyed it. It is very touristy but when you come 15,000km that's what you want!! The food was hearty and very reasonably priced. We really liked the decor, atmosphere and the food. More

I recently had breakfast at Mels. It really feels like an old school diner. The service was good and the food was good and reasonable priced for breakfast. Worth stopping by for a traditional American style breakfast. More
