Mel's sports charming '50s-style decor and serves traditional breakfast eats that can't be beaten. 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 scurries to keep up with patron requests. Mel's also boasts an interesting fact â" "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.
