Got mels thin sliced beef dip...so simple yet so amazing, the milk shake was a treat..do your self a favor and go here

Mel’s is ALWAYS a good idea but last night (this morning if we wanna get technical) I was there and we ordered several things. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent from the moment we walked in until the time we left. Even the security guard at the entrance is welcoming. I had a question about one of the things we had ordered and our server immediately addressed it and brought her manager over to confirm. The manager was AWESOME!! He wanted to make sure my question was answered to my satisfaction and he went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with the answers. I was beyond satisfied. I was so grateful and impressed by his genuine care for his guests’ experience. This is almost a nonexistent aspect of our culture in today’s times. He could’ve been flippant about it but he was so cool and nice. I have been going to Mel’s for over 20 years and will always be a loyal customer. The experience from this morning/last night was over and beyond and made me so happy to know that some people still take pride in their work and care for others. Thanks so much, sir!

We stopped at Mel‘s on our drive to Santa Monica and had a great vegetarian breakfast und a classy and friendly atmosphere. Was also not really crowded and we liked the Merch.

This place is worth a visit. Good food and plenty of choice with gluten free and vegan options. Vegan milkshakes are delicious. Staff are so welcoming and helpful.
