Summary: A Googie diner open 24/7 with a 50-seat patio.
Mels Drive-In is a blast from the past, serving comfort food in a Googie-style diner that's been a staple since 1997. With its roots stretching back to the '50s and '60s, when it was known as Ben Franks, the venue has been lovingly restored by Steven Weiss and Donald Wagstaff. It now features a 50-seat patio perfect for people-watching on the Sunset Strip. The menu is a homage to American classics, featuring burgers, sandwiches, chicken potpie, daily specials, thick shakes from McGoo's Ice Cream, and freshly baked pies. While it may lack carhop service, Mels Drive-In maintains the nostalgic charm of a bygone era, making it a beloved spot for locals and visitors seeking a taste of Americana.
