Awesome decor and a lot of fun surroundings. Huge selection of both bottled and draft beer. The saniches are different to say the least, Huge portion that there was no way i could eat the whole thing and i like to eat. Awesome french fries come with the meal. Not a big fan of the cole slaw.

Ordered 2 sandwiches (One was the Gyro Melt, one was the play on a french dip sandwich) to share with my wife when we were in town. My friend (a local) recommended the place and even picked up the order to go for us. The sandwiches were large, but so delicious. I was expecting to be overwhelmed with grease /... More

My brother has sis-in-law have been insisting on trying this the past few trips back to see my family. Schedules had never lined up until this past weekend. Should have listened sooner. We went early on a Friday evening and were pleasantly surprised to get a table right away. The atmosphere was fun with all the old school signs around... More

My wife and I went to Melt on a Sunday morning at 11:00 am (when they opened) and we got there at 10:45 am, waited in the parking lot...and we were surprised to see a crowd of people lining up to get inside! I rarely see this and it was very interesting, just people watching while waiting for the open... More

We have seen this on many of the food shows and heard about it from our friends, but had never visited - we had tried to stop in the past, but never wanted the long wait we encountered. So, we visited Saturday at 4:30, only to find a 45 minute wait. Undetered with 3 kids, we stuck around, and it... More

We were in the area to visit the Rock & Roll HOF and decided to eat here since we had seen another location on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. The place was packed when we arrived but we got a seat within a few minutes. It took quite a while for our server to come to our table but I wasn't... More

The food was actually nothing too special... Some slightly funky sandwiches, served with good fries. But the album cover menues were fun to read, and the decor, consisting mostly of vintage light-up Christmas display statues, was fun to see as well. We visited here because we had seen one of the chain's outlets on Man vs. Food, and we wanted... More

I went for the 1st time to Melt on March 14th, 2013 with my family. Usually there is a long wait. We were told 20 minutes, but were seated in about 12. The decor is awesome. Plenty of nostalgia including Clevelnad nostalgia.....I liked that. The hostess seemed a bit "put off" by the crowd coming in.....she didn't seem to be... More

Just waiting for a table was an experience. There are so many cool things to look at in the restaurant and the atmosphere was so fun and exciting. We appreciated that they had cartoons on the tv which kept the kids entertained while we waited. It is a long wait but people didn't seem to mind at all. This was... More

Stopped in because of TA reviews. Was very busy and had to wait 30 minutes. Once seated our server was attentive and courteous. The food is very good. I had the Cuban and it was delicious. Everyone takes home a half sandwich as they can't eat it all. It's rare to find a restaurant that offers good food, large portions... More
