Mel’s Drive In

Mel’s Drive-In at Universal Studios Florida. Universal Studios built a replica of ‘Mel’s Drive-In’ on its lot, pursuant to the restaurant being used in American Graffiti – this amusement attraction also served as a gift shop for years. There are also a number of ‘Mels’ located in Northern California that shares the same general American Graffiti nostalgia theme and the similarly styled Mels logo.
