Mel’s Drive-In

this place is just adorable beyond words — the decoration of the place, the little stage outside for apron-​donning waitress-​pretending performers to dance, the whole thing reminded me of a scene out of my childhood hanna-​barbera cartoons.
you gotta eat at these places with a pinch of salt (not literally) — be aware that theme park food is often expensive and measly, and more akin to standard american fair food than high dining, and so adjusting your expectations will help you enjoy it.
serviceably crisp leaves and a large — truly generous by any regard — mound of heated chicken in my salad, as well as well as chicken and beef burgers «like macdonalds or better», upsized chips and drinks that provided respite from the sweltering afternoon.
I didn’t get the chance to try the other eating places — we tried to get in at the KT’s grill but it was full, with a long waiting list — and I don’t want to say it’s much better than I expected (though it was) since that’s rather putting it down, but this was a good option in itself.
