Mel's Drive-in

Mexiburgers, foot long coney dogs, breaded mushrooms , blackberry cobbler, milkshakes and so much more. You will love it.

A true local place. Car hops come right out to take your order so be ready. The menu is on the outside of the diner. Felt like I was back in the 50's. Happy Days but without the kids.Nothing to look at but still pretty cool. We had a double cheeseburger, grilled ham & cheese and a large chocolate malt for $11.50. What!!! Love these little places. So simple but so satisfying.

They open at 10:30 am but today at 10:25 am they were already open based on their "open" signs. Nothing fancy here, just a good old fashioned drive up diner, with service in your vehicle, just like the good ole days. There is no tray on the window deal anymore just a to go sack so you can be on your way when done. There is no signage other than a message sign if northbound on Kentucky Ave but that sign was blank southbound just so you are aware. Didn't really matter to me since I've had this place bookmarked since Ken's review in 2020. Today I finally got to try them on my way home from a medical appointment downtown.I ordered the Cheeseburger dressed, with fries and a root beer soft drink. The total price was $6.86! Unbelievable that you can still feed yourself for that little amount of money these days. The cheeseburger was great. It was charred a tad on the edges just like you would get if you were grilling it in your own backyard. I was pleasantly surprised the burger was that good. And it was way better than that other fast food joint that "chargrills" their burgers.As Ken notes, they do take credit cards and there is no up charge for using said card. Service was very prompt and the food came out almost immediately and that burger was well cooked as in no pink in the middle. I almost used the picnic tables provided over by the big shade trees but I got lazy and just ate in my van. I repeat myself, to eat for way less than ten bucks and it being good food is a rare and unique find these days.

What Mug n Bun used to be. Absolutely amazing food for extremely reasonable pricing. I typically order a cheeseburger and a chili dog when I go! This is a drive in with some tables in back so most people sit in their cars to eat. Fast, friendly service. I go here typically every other week.

Delicious. Cheap. Fast. Perfect. Shakes, jalapeño howlers, tenderloins, blts are all delicious.

Yes for our first time there the people and atmosphere was friendly but the food was soggy undercooked and wasn't friend to perfection at all I'll never go back to there at all wasn't satisfied for our first time and there was missing food as well also and spending over 50 dollars

So sad they closed. These were in our top three onion rings in the country and the tenderloins were amazing.

Great lunch spot. The food and service here is better than almost any fast food joint and the price is probably half of most.

Friendly service, old fashioned establishment. Got the pork tenderloin and a corn dog and it was delicious. Root beer was tasty as well. Highly recommend!

I have been eating at Mel's since 1969, great food and so happy they are still in business 2024!! Stay with us as long as you can.Marge G.
