In 1947, Mel Weiss and his partner Harold Dobbs opened a drive-in restaurant in San Francisco that may have quietly vanished had it not achieved recognition first in the 1967 movie “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” and then was catapulted to fame as the setting for the film “American Graffiti” in 1973. At Universal Studios in Orlando, this is a quick serve restaurant that offers burgers and fries plus awesome root beer floats.
