About this location
About Original Mel's - Reno (Arlington)
1947 – 1975
As a pioneer in the restaurant industry, MELS began its history as Mels Drive-Ins in San Francisco back in 1947. David “Mel” Weiss and Harold Dobbs built their first car hop eatery, inspired by similar restaurants serving motorists in Los Angeles. It didn’t take long for the first unit to multiply into eleven! Six Mels became landmarks in the Bay Area with additional clusters achieving their own notoriety in Stockton and Sacramento. They reigned for almost twenty years growing to over 35 restaurants. Mels Drive-Ins peaked in popularity in the 1960’s and ended up selling in 1972.
1985 – 1987
Steven Weiss, David “Mel” Weiss’ son, had an itch to bring back the Mels “good times.” Succumbing to his son’s urgings, a grand re-opening of Mels Drive-In took place in 1985. Soon afterwards, there were opportunities to grow and Mels Drive-Ins added 3 more restaurants. An unfortunate rift developed between father and son. Soon thereafter, an agreement was made that David “Mel” Weiss would continue on as “The Original Mels”, while his son, Steven, would create Mels “Next Generation” and operated as Mels Drive-Ins.
1987 To The Future!
The Original Mels has now grown to 22 restaurants, serving All-American Family favorites throughout Northern California and Northern Nevada.
