In Short
Modeled after the original Mel's featured in ''American Graffiti,'' this vintage '50s coffee shop is decorated with old-time movie stills and tabletop jukeboxes that pulse with yesteryear's greatest hits. The menu offers classic diner eats, from standard burger options to all-day breakfasts, featuring the Hangover Five Alarm Three-Egg omelette with cheddar and chili, and the Elvis Scramble with chorizo, peppers and Monterey Jack.
