🎉 BIG NEWS— IT’S OUR ANNIVERSARY!! 🎉

Today, we’re celebrating 77 incredible years since Mel Weiss opened the very first Mel’s Drive-In at 140 South Van Ness in San Francisco. That’s right…77 years of unforgettable memories! You might even recognize this iconic spot from George Lucas’ 1973 classic American Graffiti!

From a groundbreaking carhop restaurant to becoming a beloved staple, Mel’s has been serving up smiles and good vibes since day one. Now, three generations of the Weiss family later, a tried and true family run restaurant, we’re still going strong—thanks to YOU, our amazing community!

The road hasn’t always been easy, but your loyalty and love have kept us trucking for over seven decades. We couldn’t be more grateful for our Mel’s family— our regulars, and everyone who’s been part of this journey, past, present, and future.

Here’s to 77 years of great food, classic vibes, and countless memories! Thank you for being part of the journey. Let’s keep it rolling!

Happy Anniversary and Happy Holidays from all of us at Mel’s! ✨🫶
