Want melty cheese? Having a Meltdown is the place to go! Most of their menu is grilled cheese, but they also have quesadillas and mac n' cheese. I've been a couple times and if you hit them up off peak hours, food can be ready in 10 minutes. Otherwise, be ready to wait with all the other folks here to get their cheese on. Every sandwich I've ever gotten here was OOZING with cheese. They don't skimp, which I love (my wife finds it overkill, but to each their own). The Four Cheese Melt is a cheese-lover's best grilled cheese. The Philly Cheese is solid. On our last visit, we went with spicy grilled cheeses: -Kick in the Can - this take on a jalapeño popper was delicious. They did not skimp on the pickled jalapeños either! Nice and spicy and also included bacon, cream cheese, and cheddar. -Slap in the Mouth - this Buffalo chicken sandwich was nice with plenty of buffalo sauce, chicken, blue cheese, and mozzarella. My only complaint is that they chicken was in huge chunks rather than diced up, so some bites were a little more chicken-forward than well-balanced. But if that's my only complaint, this is a solid sandwich indeed. The mac n' cheese was solid, with a nice bit of garlic to it. Child #1 got the Oodles of Noodles grilled cheese, which had this grilled cheese in it. A delightfully cheesy bundle of carbs! Waffle fries were solid accompaniment, would get again. Overall great place for celebrating melty cheese; you won't be disappointed! read more

We tried the reuben, the mother clucker (chicken parm) sandwich and waffle fries. The fries were nice and crispy. The reuben was out of this world! We absolutely loved it. The mother clucker wasn't my favorite but there is plenty more to try on the menu. I'd recommend giving this place a shot! read more

Just like I read here - it was the most delicious reuben ever! The lemonade was huge but not very lemony. Only giving it 4 stars because it was incredibly expensive. All sandwiches were $15, which is reasonable in a restaurant but a tad high for a food truck. But food trucks seem to be the thing here to cope with the off-season slump. read more

When coming to Chincoteague during the off season, your not sure what may be open. To our surprise Having A Meltdown was on the first Sunday of March. We decided on the Meltdown, the Don't Pesto Me and the special of the day which was a cold sandwich of chicken salad, lettuce and cranberry sauce. We added to that an order of waffle fries and a lemonade. This is our feedback: The Meltdown - is a perfectly grilled, four cheese melt. It was gory and delicious and stacked high with cheesy goodness. The Don't Pesto Me - was a very good sandwich with lots of flavor. It is a bit messy since the pesto (olive oil) easily bled through the bread. Th Chicken Salad was very good and should be considered a regular menu item. The waffle fries were perfectly seasoned and cooked the way we like them, extra crispy on the outside and soft inside. So good! The lemonade was outstanding and was served in a quart container. All in all, Meltdown is a great addition to the ever increasing food truck culture in Chincoteague. read more

I stopped by today on a whim and I'm so glad I did. I had the Rancher and the chicken quesadilla. The food was fresh and delicious. They loaded the quesadilla with chicken and served it with salsa and sour cream. If you like melted cheese you need to try this place! read more

The hours tend to vary depending on the season, so be sure to check their Facebook page because the owner is always on top of it, so I'm not going to take away a star. That being said, you won't find a better sandwich on the island, and their reuben is probably THE best reuben I've had in my 43 years on this Earth. Definitely a place to hit when in Chincoteague. read more

The hours have changed so call ahead and confirm! This place was empty the morning we went; the food took quite a while to make and overall lacked the pizazz or extra flavor we were hoping for. If you want a breakfast sandwich and don't have the time to make it at home then this could probably help you out; just plan to wait a bit! read more

Had the Craby Mac N Cheese (~$14) and was happy. Season seemed to be Old Bay. They have canned Pepsi, but no Coke. Tasted my friend's "Don't Pesto Me" and thought it was great. Tasted the fresh basil. Next time I'm going to try the "Savage Ruben". read more

We are there for the first time this weekend. There were some unique food choices but everything we had was outstanding. The staff was very helpful and items were inexpensive for the portion size. Great little place to stop for lunch. Be sure to get the waffle fries with cheese/bacon. read more

Went to Meltdown for the 6th and last time. 4 times for Crabby Mac. Once again, they don't have it. The women behind the counter started yelling about why they don't have something on the menu. Walked away and she continued yelling. Great customer services read more

We like Having a Meltdown quite a bit. Portions are very generous. Their Reuben is fantastic. I like the quesadillas as well. The food is a bit messy, so don't try to eat it in your car (our neighbors did that and it was a minor disaster :-) ). They take call in orders too. Good for them. Not all businesses on the island do read more

Absolutely amazing! Super friendly, super fast, everything is made fresh right there in the food truck. They even have 2 benches you can sit and eat at outside. Very clean! Would totally recommend!!! read more

Wow! Having a food coma! Had Ruben Savage and a Slap in the face. First let me say, best sandwich around. Buffalo chicken had to be a whole breast on there. Ruben is real cornbeef(not lunch meat) and piled on. Sauces were on point. The cheese was gooey and delicious. First trip here and will not be my last. Ordered 3 sandwiches only took about 10 mins. After seeing the size and prep, more than acceptable wait time. This place is stellar. Service was great. read more

Unpredictable as to hours but an amazing Rueben! Don't get the alleged homemade lemonade- it's crystal light at best!

Wow. First thought going here was "okay, grilled cheese for lunch". What we got were three sandwiches that were completely out of this world. While they didn't have any ham for my chicken cordon blue, they replaced the ham with bacon. No complaints from me! Overall, very pleased with our lunch and the portions are one word. HUGE. read more

Cute little food truck near BlackNarrows brewery. Staff was very friendly. Plenty of parking. Got the "Oodles of Noodles" and "pickled porker" melts. They were huge! Both totally delicious as well. Glad we made the stop read more

Firstly, the Sammies are fantastic! We had the Philly and the blue crab. They are huge! No way could we finish them. But the flavor was off the charts! In Chicoteague for vacay and definitely hitting this place again. read more

These aren't just your ordinary grilled cheese sandwiches! Great selection and the sandwiches are huge! Two people could share one. Everything we ordered was delicious. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great sandwiches--they made our trip to Chincoteague so much more enjoyable --with delicious handmade sandwiches with fresh ingredients. My husband had the corned-beef and is still talking about it read more

In total the family got the ranch, feathered pig, and slap in the mouth with a side of loaded waffle fries and strawberry lemonade. There was a wait, but it's made fresh! Everything was absolutely amazing and this little truck packs an amazing punch. Messy, but that's what napkins are for. We cannot wait till next year to come back and visit this place again. Add this to your list of menus to keep and places to support!! 10/5 stars read more

If you like cheese, this is the place to be. Super friendly service and a great menu, huge portions, you won't regret it! Really delicious food. Garlic mac and cheese has some serious Garlic! read more

This is in my top three places to grab lunch on the island. Get the specialty lemonades they're always delicious. Like today was strawberry lemonade, it had pieces of strawberry in and it's so delicious! They're super kind about altering things as long as it's not too insane and crazy. Everything's made fresh, I love this so much! read more

Absolutely phenomenal!!! Food was well made and tasted amazing. Nice attitude and good vibe. Would eat here everyday if given the chance!

Was very disappointed with our lunch today. Flank steak was more gristle than steak and was very bland even tho it was supposed to have onion and peppers. Nothing like a Philly steak at all. Sliced Bread was very soggy and obviously could not handle the cheese that overwhelmed the entire sandwich. The Crabby Mac and Cheese was OK, but also bland, even after they asked us if we wanted Old Bay and we agreed. Unfortunately, for the $37+ we paid, we could have made it better ourselves. Very disappointing. read more

This is not a quick place to stop for a sandwich. Took forever to get two melts and not during lunch rush. This is at 3:00 and already out of chicken. That being said the sandwiches were good and hot. Recommend the lemonade. Both flavors were tasty and refreshing. read more

The portions are unbelievable! Sandwiches are $10 - we had the Reuben and the Philly. We should have ordered one to share. There was so much delicious tender meat on both sandwiches. I preferred the Philly because it also had a lot of cheese. The Reuben was overloaded with meat, but the cheese and sauerkraut were more scarce. I just couldn't get over the portions - best thing I ate in Chincoteague. read more

This unassuming little food truck has incredible food! It's definitely a heavy meal and not for those on a diet. My husband, a picky eater with high food standards, loved it and came back twice in a weekend. Definitely worth a try! read more

If you think you've had the best Reuben you haven't tried this one!! Literally the BEST! I can say I'll probably never have a better one. Corned beef is so tender and lots of it. Perfect sauerkraut and dressing on marbled rye bread. Big enough to share but you'll want your own! Don't forget to order a delicious lemonade to be in extra heaven! read more

Great food great people. They started doing deliveries on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Huge sandwiches that are well worth the price. Definitely recommend it when you come visit the island! read more

We really liked this place for lunch today! Found it driving towards the pony centre and decided to give it a try. The sandwiches were delicious. Very fresh and crispy and full of flavor. Staff was super friendly and polite. Happy to patronize a place with great food and great people. Now that we know it is here we will definitely go back. read more

Maybe better luck on a different day. We got there around 3pm on a Thursday and they were out of chicken breast and steak, no big deal. We ordered chicken tenders, waffle fries, the Honey I'm Ham sandwich and 2 lemonades. The tenders were your run of the mill frozen tenders. the ham sandwich was too messy to eat and the ham was meh (IMO a thinner slice on the ham would make a difference). There was so much honey mustard my bread was soggy before I even got a chance to eat it and we ate right at their picnic table & all i could taste was honey mustard. The fries & lemonade were fantastic- everything was made to order (no old FF) & the 2 ladies running it were super nice. I'll give them a 2nd chance next time we're in Chincoteague for that. read more

I had the chicken cordon blue and it was delicious! Very flavorful, the meat was tender, and the bread was perfectly toasted. We also enjoyed the strawberry lemonade. Note the portions are very generous! read more

Found via word of mouth talking to people around town. Crab quesadilla very good. You will need a knife and fork. Portions generous. Will definitely be back! read more

Incredible. Would drive an hour for this food. The chicken cordon bleu melt has fresh cooked chicken and ham, not deli meat. The Reuben was also so good. Will be back! read more
