    Wings and mash potatoes.

    I really like this place. It's truly a gem in Greensboro. As long as they continue to watch their quality control in check like they have, they'll continue to soar. Hot food and seasoned and flavorful. God Bless this place to thrive..

I tried a seasonal martini, sub tequila and my mom had a creamsicle (vodka). We both enjoyed them. To eat, we both had The Granny and we shared our sides of fries and Brussels Sprouts (these had a $2 upcharge). The Granny is SOOOOO DELICIOUS!! My mom has been to Melt now 4x and keeps getting this sandwich because it's just that tasty. It's quite big and she usually comes home with half her sandwich. This was my first time and it's the kind of sandwich that'll bring me back again very soon. The fries were very good and Brussels were delicious! We did order the chocolate, peppermint cheesecake to share. It was really a piece of chocolate cheesecake (with a yummy oreo crust), topped with mint and candy canes. That's okay, though, because it was really good! The restaurant is pretty small and cozy so I can imagine there could be a wait sometimes.

Our server was…read morevery attentive and knowledgeable, and the approachable elegance of the space is always inviting. Tonight, I ordered a featured entre, Portuguese Duck Rice with the Baked Alaska for dessert. This saffron rice dish featured wood-fire smoked duck , smoked sausage, rich duck broth, carrots, and leeks. The depth of flavor in this dish was amazing! Everything was just right with it, except I wanted more! I will have to come back and get this again. This was also my first Baked Alaska. Front eh creamy meringue to the deep chocolate flavor of the cake to the cherry vanilla ice cream, this dessert was a very pleasant experience. I recommend both!

We called a few days ahead and made reservations for a Friday evening, and I'm glad we did, as they were turning people away at the door when we got there because they were so busy. We were seated promptly, and our waitress came not longer after to take drink orders. She was very attentive throughout the meal, helping to provide refills on drinks, and bread. They have a good variety of options on the menu, and a nice beer menu. I got the Paella, which was good, but not the best I've had. Prices were a bit high compared to the portions which was a bit disappointing. I finished my meal all in one sitting, but do wish I had ordered something else. If/when i go back, I won't be ordering the paella. Good visit, but certainly caters to an older crown. I think a lot of what you pay for here is the name and reputation. Worth checking out.

The menu reflects this with cocktails, wine and beer and the menu is extensive on the beverages! The food menu is terrific and has so much variety and some really nice plates small and large. It was a theater night when we went and we had a 7.30 show to goto and our server knew that. We got there at 5.30 so figured that gave us the 10 mins to walk to the theater to be on time. We started off with some drinks. My friend loved her cherry ale and I really enjoyed my G&T , the glass it came in was just so unusual. The G&T took awhile to finally make it to me but i loved it. We ordered the tuna tartare and that was delicious and served up with fried green tomatoes which was a different take on it. Nice and fresh and nicely presented. Our entrees were the salmon for my friend and I had the Bahn mi chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Usually this sandwich is with pork so I wanted to try this. The service for our dinner took almost 45 mins we had finished the app awhile back and my grind had another drink and still we were waiting. It was closing in on 6.50 Pm and at this point we would be inhaling our food when it came and rushing out the door . It came at 7pm and the sandwich was good but they should mention on the menu that it has mayonnaise on it as I don't like that but there was quite a bit on the bun. Not typically in this type of sandwich so I wasn't expecting it. The chicken was a good and flavorful and lots of other veggie fillings and the fries were great. My friend really enjoyed her salmon and the risotto it came with. Just disappointed we had to eat it all so quickly and leave some so we could pay and leave. We had our eye on the lemon posset tart for dessert but we didn't have time . We just thought since the server knew we had theater tickets she would have been more on top of it. Yes they were busy as it was a show night but the place wasn't totally full. Seemed like no urgency when we asked how long the food would be as we had to leave soon. I'd maybe try this place again on a non show night, as I thought they had a great menu. I enjoyed the place just not the service as we barely made the show before the lights went down.

    When we walked in we noticed the restaurant was busy it was a Saturday evening. There was a host he…read morewas looking at cameras in the restaurant and said they were full and we could walk around to see if there was a place at the bar for 4 people, handing us drink menus. As we walked we noticed a table off of the bar that had 3 people and was a table for 8 we asked if we could sit with them they said fine. We let the host know he said I cannot give you a food menus... no explanation just that he couldn't or wouldn't. At this point we were turned off and thought about just leaving. A bar tender came over and handed us food menus pretty much as we sat down and asked if she could get us something to drink. We ordered drinks figuring we could see how things went and decide on staying or leaving. She was super quick and as we were looking through the menu we really wanted to eat here so we decided to just order. The food was so good the bar tender was very attentive and the food came quickly. The atmosphere inside was a standard sports bar with a seated room area next to the bar room area. The bar had a Malort face wall which iykyk and several tvs playing different sports. I cannot say enough on how good the food was the poutine, the burgers, the Mac and cheese all delicious! Disappointed with the interaction we had at the front some explanation of just a little curtesy does go a log way because we literally were just about to leave.

    In Greensboro, a city whose downtown once had a "hamburger square" of burger joints and related…read moreentertainment, it seems appropriate, whenever possible, to try a cheeseburger. Most have been underwhelming, or inconsistent at best. Stumble Stilskins isn't bad. The burger is the smash burger style -- not always ideal, but pretty good when done nicely, as it is here. "Crispy on the edges" it specifies in the menu, and that is accurate. The meat is also well-seasoned and not dry. Excellent! The cheese is the proper yellow American. The fries, while not hand-cut (which is fine, in this case), have been fried nicely, in fresh tasting oil, and seasoned generously. So much attention to seasoning is really appreciated. The fatal flaw of the burger is that it is apparently served on a "brioche bun." The bun is large, agonizingly dense, and weirdly sweet. In particular, when it's doing battle with the slim carefully structured and seasoned smash burger patties, the heaviness and sweetness are extremely oppressively overpowering. Now, you may say, why didn't I just not eat the bun (which would've been good for the flavor, texture, and my caloric intake)? Well, if you are, as I apparently am, genetically 2/3 sheepdog, you have no choice but to rapidly eat everything in front of you. The atmosphere isn't bad. There's not much to it -- classic bar, but neat and tidy, with TVs and little tables here and there. Not really any nooks and crannies, even in the dimmer half of the restaurant. It would probably be even better if you were drunk. The bathroom was notably clean -- though I can't imagine how chaotic it gets when the place is crowded, since it's a single-occupancy. If you're seated at one of the high top tables, be prepared to be uncomfortably close to the mustachioed open mouth of what I think is Danny McBride.
