Mel's Diner

This all day, late night diner is a classic bit of Americana, full of shiny stainless steel walls and counters. It's covered in American Graffiti movie posters and outtake photos, since part of the film was shot in this small chain's Lombard St. diner. Good solid comfort food, free parking, with good desserts and ice cream treats. A jukebox control at every table, sucking down your quarters to hear hits from the 1950s.
