History

The most famous diner in the world and an American classic since the 40's.

Where History Serves The Future

Since 1947, Mel's Drive-In has been flipping burgers and shaking up the diner scene to become the most famous drive-in and diner in the world. It's not just a restaurant; it's a slice of Americana, serving up a side of history with every order. At Mel's, we're about more than just meals; we're about creating memories and preserving a legacy that's as rich and flavorful as our shakes. Our mission? To keep the spirit of the classic American diner experience alive, serving up smiles, one nostalgic bite at a time.

Why Work At Mel's? 

Because life's too short for boring jobs. Imagine clocking in at the world's coolest diner, where every shift is a blast from the past and any customer could be a celebrity—or at least, leave feeling like one. At Mel's, our team is family, and we support each other like the cast of a hit 50s sitcom (minus the canned laughter). Here, your job is a fun way to learn and grow—whether aiming to expand your hospitality experience or just looking for a sweet gig. Plus, you'll be part of something bigger, with opportunities for community service, fundraisers, events, and making the world a happier place, one burger at a time. So, ready to join the Mel's family?
