Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Mel's Drive-in offers a classic American diner experience within Universal Studios Singapore, with a menu focused on burgers, fries, and nuggets.

We note that the Turkey Bacon Cheese Burger, priced at $17 with fries, receives praise for its fresh ingredients, fluffy bun, and generous patty.

The Demonic Double Fish Burger and Tarantula Nest onion rings also get positive mentions.

However, some feedback indicates that the beef burgers can be a bit dry and less appealing compared to other burger options outside of USS, though the fries are consistently highlighted as excellent.

The pricing is considered justifiable given its location within the theme park.

We also observed a serious complaint regarding alleged discriminatory service, which is concerning and should be addressed by management.

Overall, it's a convenient and generally satisfying option for a quick meal inside USS, especially during events like Halloween Horror Nights when other food choices might be limited.

We'd recommend it for a reliable theme park meal, but manage expectations for gourmet burgers.

What customers say

Customers generally find Mel's Drive-in to be a convenient dining option within Universal Studios Singapore, especially during events like Halloween Horror Nights.

While some praise specific items like the Turkey Bacon Cheese Burger, Demonic Double Fish Burger, and fries for their quality and taste, others find the beef burgers to be average and dry.

A significant negative experience involved alleged racist behavior from a staff member named Satriviyani, leading to strong dissatisfaction with service and hospitality.

It was one of the few restaurants open during Halloween Horror Nights, and the best bet would be dining here since there is not much food during this event. I feel that their burgers are a little on…

Food is great! The options are burgers, fries, and nuggets. They have a quinoa salad as well. The service is top-notch and the place is clean. Our go-to resto in USS!
