Mel's sports charming '50s-style decor and serves traditional breakfast eats that can't be beat. The smell of sizzling sausage draws diners to this all-American favorite, and tasty hotcakes and eggs keep them coming back time and again. Table-top jukeboxes entertain while the waitstaff scurry to keep up with patron requests. Mel's also boasts an interesting fact – "American Graffiti" was filmed here. And with three locations in San Francisco, a Mel's is never too far. The restaurant is especially good at catering to traveling families, with spacious booths and an extensive kids menu. And Mel's recently added a "heart-healthy" option for those who love comfort food but are watching their weight or cholesterol.
