"American Food at its Best". So pronounces Mel's Drive-in, a long time San Francisco favorite.

It has a cheery interior.

There are mini-jukeboxes at every walled booth.

Dad tried the caesar salad, he said it was very fresh.

And the salad was combined with half a chicken salad sandwich for a lunch special. He said it was really a whole sandwich, considering its size with half of an oversized slice.

I tried the old-fashioned turkey dinner, was standard diner fare, but good - the turkey was quite moist. Mel's also serves breakfast. It was hot here in Marin again, but a few degrees cooler than yesterday!
