melt bar and grilled

after hearing about the menu and concept, i was excited to try that restaurant. the place itself is very nice, has a good and authentic ambiance with arcade games and a big bar area and a spacious seating area. we ordered some appetizers, one sandwich and one mac and cheese. the sandwich was fabulous, huge in size and very tasty. the mac and cheese... i received it barely warm-which is nooot a good thing for a mac and cheese. the waiter was very responsive and even brought me a new plate as he said that reheating the same one would harm some of the crusty ingredients. so kudos to the management for this! but even the second one was not warm enough...cheesewas not melted! i still would advise finding a better way to keep the orders really hot while they are preparing the other orders for the table. other than that, it was a very good experience and i would recommend trying this place!

calling these massive sandwiches grilledcheeseis not really an accurate description. the bread is too thick and there is no emphasis on the cheese. with that said the beer list at melt is great and worthy of a stop for a few pints at their large bar.

wow what an awesome sandwich! after trying melt for the first time, i can't understand the amount of negative reviews; my meal was incredible!
i ordered the winter chicken: honey dijon chicken with pepper jack, mozzarellacheesesticks, and grilled onions and peppers. the pulled chicken was really moist and the slightly sweet honey dijon went perfectly with the spiciness of the peppers and pepper jack cheese. the mozzarella sticks were incredible, and i would've easily accepted them as an appetizer at any restaurant. they added extra cheesy goodness for a perfect grilled cheese. and last but not least for a solid grilled cheese: the bread. melt got this perfect too; it was buttery but not greasy and toasted outside but super soft inside. the sandwich came with a heaping pile of fries which were decent but definitely some of those fries that "need ketchup" to be good if you know what i mean.
the atmosphere is really cool with interesting decorations and awesome music as well. the servers even walked around singing along to some of the songs. one word of caution: come very hungry because the sandwiches are huge! i'm normally a pretty big eater but i couldn't finish this massive sandwich and all the fries.

gourmet grilledcheesewas a relatively new concept for me before i went to melt bar and grilled  for the first time, and with the innovative, delicious, and fantastic sandwiches at melt , i am thrilled with this new trend.  of note is that melt  has weekly changing specials which i would suggest taking a look at on their website .        if you ever plan ahead of going to melt  ahead of time, i have one simple suggestion for you, save room.  every melt  grilledcheesesandwich comes with the massive sandwich, a huge serving of delicious french fries, and a pickle.  even for a hungry teenager my first several visits to melt  resulted in me taking about half of my sandwich home.  no complaints here of course, the sandwiches are just as good later on.  the prices are relatively low for a restaurant with such big portions so keep in mind the portion size when dining their or considering where to dine at.        now to talk about my favor

overrated. i got the bbq chicken sandwich and there was nothing "grilled cheesy" about it. it was dry and didn't have enoughcheeseor bbq sauce. the fries were good though. prices are a bit inflated as well.

good grub, noisy venue. large portions of good food. my first gf grilled sandwich i ordered out in 5 years and it was delicious! we ordered the grilledcheeseoptions ... clevelandcheesesteak and perogi sandwiches. both were excellent. arrived piping hot and had good flavor. we each took a 1/2 sandwich and the fries home. at the restaurant we were under impressed with the side of fries but take them home they were excellent the next day thrown into a skillet while reheading your leftover sandwich. our server was great, friendly and knew the menu well.

we went at for an early weekday lunch and it was only 1/2 full and the noise level was pretty loud, no sound dampening what-so-ever in the place. we snagged a meter to park at out front without much effort. we learned later there is a small parking lot to the north off hubbard with free parking for the restaruant.

get the war pig.. i went to melt for the first time with a friend. i was leaning toward the backyard bbq sandwich, but i enticed with the war pig sandwich. the war pig has espresso & ancho rubbed pork, seared pork belly, honey ham, tamale cake, house made mole sauce, crispy chicharrones, pepper-jack. my friend had a couple of bites along with the fries. she enjoyed it. every sandwich from melt can make about 2-4 meals out it. i ate mine up on first sitting, but share some with my friend. i will be back to melt again, trying another grilledcheesesandwich that melt has.
