A fun place for a quick bite before events in Hollywood on Sunset, since its an easy walk to the clubs afterwards. They have a good selection of American California food. Breakfast is served all day. They offer gluten free and vegan alternatives for many things

Excellent service, Chasen was awesome! He greeted us with a smile and made our dining experience enjoyable! Love the atmosphere and ambiance. I traveled 3,000 miles from Miami to Hollywood and I had to visit the iconic Mels DriveIn while in town! Highly recommended ...
