So impressed with this restaurant. Clean, friendly, great food and great leadership. Our first time in and will be back. Sat at the bar and had a great meal! The ownership team is beyond amazing! They do have a little bar area and it's a fun spot to watch food come and go. Food service safety is phenomenal, 10/10 would recommend and will be back. read more

My family and me came here for Saturday lunch. It's been a number of years since we came here so I was looking forward to the visit. We ordered at the counter and our food didn't take long to arrive at our table for a party of 6. I had the old Smokey / no mayo and it was a well made sandwich. Nice flavor. I was looking forward to trying this sandwich , since I didn't get to try it during the Birmingham Restaurant Week preview party. I really enjoyed the beer battered fries as well. Others in my party had chicken finger plate, Cuban melt, chicken Parmesan melt and chicken salad melt. Everyone enjoyed their selections and had leftovers! I chatted with I'm assuming the manager and he was very nice. We enjoyed our recent experience here at Melt. The service , food and environment all made me want to come back soon. read more

Real quick post. I was hungry and just wanted something simple and stopped by MELT. Ten min before closing (yikes) but, they were so kind to still take orders. I purchased the Chef Salad . Looks amazing and can't wait to dig in. I have visited this place in the past . I remember having the salad and they did not disappoint. It's enough for 2 people to enjoy. They have indoor and outdoor spaces for eating. They have a casual dining menu and offer spirits. Come check this place out if you are in the neighborhood. read more

Ohhh we love MELT! My partner introduced me to this place, and we ALWAYS enjoy our food. We often get the "Mac N Egg Rolls" (I always save an extra bite for my partner because he LOVES these!!) I have eaten the Beyond Burger as well as the Chicken Bacon Ranch on Texas toast. We've also tried their chicken fingers for the kids, and I absolutely love their dipping sauces readily available. My partner got the Deep Fried Double Stuffed Oreos and was immediately in a trance-- I don't eat sweets, but I can confirm these were DELICIOUS! I'd also like to mention the staff is great. They have always been so kind and helpful, and very patient with us. They are very quick to help and will readily give you knowledge on the menu items. For the quality of food, I don't mind the prices. We always come with empty tummies and leave with full bellies. I also like the interior of this place! It isn't super crowded when we go, so we usually have a very quiet and peaceful meal. It's super inviting and just overall very comfortable. You can certainly have an intimate meal with your partner without too much distraction and outside noise. I also do want to mention I love that they have board games inside!! I love that they offer those to play with. They have a few beers as well, so it's a great hangout! read more

I've always had great food at Melt locations! This location in Hoover is very inviting and relaxing. They have some of the friendliest staff and delicious food of course! I ordered the Mac Melt with fries as my side. Everything was perfect about it! The worker asked me if I wanted any sauces, and I didn't think I needed any. When he listed them off to me and said jalapeno ranch, I gave it a try. It was amazing! Definitely add some sauces to your fries if you can! They are a game changer! read more

My son and I had a great experience at Melt Hoover. My son wanted to go somewhere to get a Patty Melt. I looked for different restaurants and saw a Patty Melt on Melts menu. We both ordered it and it was delicious. What's great is they ask how you would like your meat cooked. We ordered medium. I asked the person who you order from if the tomato cucumber salad was very vinegar based. I don't like it's sour. Instead of just telling me he said well let's let you try it before you order it so he got me a small cup so I could try it. It's a great mix of tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta. We chose to sit outside, which was very nice under an umbrella. Our food came out rather quickly. We ate every bite of it. As we were leaving, we were cleaning up our table and picking up our plates and one of the staff said please don't worry about that. We've got it. For kids, they have shelves of games there that you can choose from so they have something to occupy their time. It was a very nice experience. read more

Such a cute restaurant. Everyone was so friendly. I ended up ordering the patty melt. The bread was so delicious but the flavor was slightly lacking. The cucumber salad was delicious. I also got the burger kids meal which my son loved! The way they set it up was adorable. I loved that they had outdoor seating and a little bean bag game set up so that the kids could be entertained. I would definitely come back. read more

What a great lunch! They have indoor and outdoor seating. The honey baked goat cheese is amazing! The strawberries and pecans add to the flavor. The sandwiches are delicious. The Buffalo chicken and patty melt are so delicious and the ham, turkey and cheese melts are made to perfection. The Mac and cheese was good and the fries were crispy. We all enjoyed our food and the experience. read more

This a real nice place to sit and relax while having a good sandwich. I came in to see what the hype was about. I was greeted when I came in pretty fast and she was very friendly. They have a little something for everyone on the menu. I had the ragin cajun chicken sandwich. The chicken could have used a little more spice but it was juicy. The sandwich needed something else because it was a little dry. The slaw needs a little work also but overall, it was an ok sandwich. The fries were right out of a bag. Nothing special but they were hot. I might try it again but it's not on my radar. read more

The food was amazing. The selection of different sandwiches is great. The location is easy to get to. The inside was spotless and very nice and cozy and was perfect stop before heading to downtown Birmingham. The staff was super friendly and quick to assist with any issues.

Hands down the best & most flavorful sandwich I've ever had. Chicken pesto with mozzarella and tomato on sour dough with a side of mac-n-cheese, which was excellent too. A little pricey for sandwiches, but it was worth it. It's in a neat little area as well with many other restaurants. Employees were very friendly. There were games for kids to play and several TVs. read more

We went to lunch with a friend and had an excellent experience. They had the grilled chicken parm and l had the raging Cajun. The grilled chicken were really delicious my raging Cajun was not as spicy as described but good. Service is really quick. Their fries are great with rosemary ketchup that serve. The only problem was that the squeeze bottles were sticky and need to be wiped off regularly. We will be back! read more

Melt is a fav for my grandkids & I. Service is usually fast, friendly and helpful with any menu questions. It's great for a casual eat out. Favs , the Meatloaf Sandwich, Mac & Egg Roll, Cheeseburger. I also usually grab a couple of the frozen "adult" Capri Suns to go. Order at the counter, grab a table, they'll find you! read more

$5 drinks on Thursdays - wedge salad is delicious as well as their basil tomato soup!

What makes a better summer lunch than Melt's Flyin' Hawaiian sandwich with French Fries? Add in honey mustard and Diet Coke and I'm a very happy girl! If you haven't been to Melt before, you should consider giving it a try. We've eaten here a few times for lunch and have enjoyed it every time. The food is tasty, the service is good, and the atmosphere is laid back and very casual. They also have a small patio with outdoor seating, so I will probably bring the dog the next time we come here. The Honey Baked Goat Cheese appetizer is AWESOME! Be sure to order it, even if you're not a huge fan of brie. It is truly exceptional. My husband and I have different approaches to eating. He always gets the same thing--the burger. But he says it's really good and why get anything else? (As a FYI...the burger comes on Texas Toast, which he says is a positive). Me? I like to try something different on each visit: the Ole Smokey sandwich and the Chicken Pesto sandwich are both tasty, but I especially enjoyed the Flyin' Hawaiian sandwich (pictured). However, we both agree that Melt makes EXCELLENT French Fries. They are a steak-cut and cooked to be crispy outside and soft inside. Not too browned, either--they are golden both on the plate and on your palate! The only downside is that the parking can be a little tricky. We have had the most success finding a spot behind the restaurant read more

We eat here every time we pass through Birmingham. The food is always consistent. The sandwiches are awesome.

We dined at Melt this evening and the food was delicious and the service was top notch. I can't say enough about the polite and efficient employees. We brought some family from out of town, and they loved it! read more

4.5. What a great find! When we were not able to go to our first choice restaurant (that one was was overcrowded graduation night) we found this gem of a joint. Great service! Incredibly friendly greeting when we arrived. Courtesy exhibited by all the staff and servers a nice selection of "not your run-of-the-mill" sandwiches. And, probably some of the best hit crispy outside, tender inside fries we have had in a long long time. Could even be number one on our list. read more

I love when a restaurant has simple offerings and does them well. This is a casual, unassuming chain. Went here with a colleague for lunch. In a nice shopping area with free parking. We started with the fried pickles. My first time having them sliced longways and thin. I really enjoyed them..came with a ranch drizzle on top. The cheeseburger came on texas toast with a side of chips. YES I ate all of it. Lol. Very reasonably priced. Worth a stop if you're in the mood for a simple burger. read more

I visited on a cold, blustery day seeking something warm and melty for lunch. I ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich with beer battered fries. The chicken was made with whole, unprocessed chicken tenderloin, fried to a chrispy finish, covered with a spicy marinara sauce, melted cheese, all on Texas toast. The fries were cooked to perfecrion, with a chrispy and flavorful exterior and a soft, buttery interior. Basically, what a French fry should be. The food is excellent and well worth the price. read more

This is my first time coming out to Melt Hoover and the ordering process is different from the Avondale location. You place your order at the counter and get a number and just seat yourself. I ordered fried pickles for an appetizer and got a cheeseburger with French fries. The fried pickles were really good and it didn't take long before my entree arrived at the table. The food was good and I managed to eat only half of my burger because it was too much food. Customer service was awesome not only from the cashier, but from the others employees as well that were busing out dirty dishes. read more

The food was good. Customer service was prompt. It was a little pricey, but not too bad. The atmosphere was neat.

I love this restaurant. I have yet to have a bad experience here. Specifically this location. The food is exceptional, and the staff is always on their A game. The location in Avondale is actually significantly closer to where we live and work, but we drive the extra distance to come here. I'm really bad for not wanting to venture from my favorite, The Ragin Cajun, but everything on the menu I have tried has been delicious. Especially the Mac n egg rolls!! When my husband asked if I wanted to go to Melt last night after we left an appointment, I immediately perked up. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat in the area and I'm so excited that they will be opening another location. If you want a delicious meal, and a wonderfully friendly atmosphere, visit Melt in Hoover. I highly doubt you'll be disappointed. read more

Had the Mac grilled cheese and fries to go. Overall good food. I wish the Mac was a little cheesier/creamier, maybe with a bit of cheese sauce. Fries were great too. I'm sure all of it is better when eating fresh at the restaurant. read more

I was so excited to come here after hearing so many great reviews. My friend and I came here on a Saturday afternoon. She ordered the Mac Melt and I had the Rajin Cajun and a Strawgaritaville drink. My friend said her Mac Melt had no flavor whatsoever. My Rajin Cajun also didn't either. There was no hint of "Rajin" anything even with the spicy cheese? It was a very bland sandwich. The best part of the meal that we both agreed on were the fries which were crisp and had a GREAT flavor. My drink was also good but tasted like $10 juice. Overall, I loved the atmosphere of the place (very casual and they had board games available to play) but I will not be back to this location. I might give their other one a chance but everything was a bit too bland for me here. read more

Fast casual restaurants are the best! You order and pay. You get your food. When you're ready to go, you just go. Melt does fast casual very well! Last night, we celebrated the end of the indoor track season by stopping by Melt. I have never had food from this restaurant, but I have heard good things. When we walked in, I immediately noticed how the tables were spaced out. I liked that. They had stickers on the floor to make sure people in line maintain social distance. We ordered and received our food within a good amount of time. Everything tasted great! The kids had leftovers. My drink was great! I could have had another one. Lol! Will we be back? Yes, we will. read more

This is a good place to get a good sandwich. I had the Ruben and fries so not too far out there. The choices are good.

Ordered from Melt tonight at work. Delivery was a little slow but it was through Grub Hub, so can't hold that against Melt. Classic grilled cheese was good. Nice toasted buttery bread with multiple types of melted cheese in between. Good flavor. Steak fries were OK, but anytime you get fries delivered they are going to be soggy and no longer crisp. Food truck nachos had a good flavor. Tender pulled pork over kettle chips. (Not sure why they call them nachos) Kettle chips were crisp and warm. Nice melted cheese. BBQ sauce was sweet. Ranch/jalapeño sauce was not to spicy, but I ordered it without and got it anyway. Jalapeños were breaded and fried crisp. Over all a good meal. Take out always brings your food down a notch. So I will give them a try again in person next time. Would suggest that Melt double checks their orders before they send them out. Not bad, will try again. read more

Excellent service. The food...we must have come on an off night, right at closing. Mac n chs egg rolls...had no flavor Cuban, hard meat, all of it Burger, mushy Chicken tenders, over fried, and burned $70 for this. The prices are not on the menu, so get prepared to be sticker shocked Glad I wasn't bringing my whole family...would have been hundreds of dollars to get fed unchecked, non quality food read more

I love the design of the place that it's a kid friendly atmosphere with cute little lunchboxes to hold the napkins. The service was great and something that I noticed is that there is always someone cleaning. I really liked that. I got the strawberry fields salad with chicken and I really liked it. I wanted something simple and not too filling and also healthy...even though the menu looks fantastic and I wanna try everything on it. Hopefully I'll get a chance to come back on a cheat day and try what I really wanna try, but I will say if you wanna go healthy try the strawberry salad it's definitely good :) read more

Decided to try Melt for dinner. This new location is in Stadium Terrace shopping center behind Culvers. It's a very nice location. Pretty big inside with a small outdoor seating area. There are some parking spots in front of the restaurant but not many. I had to park at Aldi and walk over. It would be nice if they had 15 minute parking spots for people just picking up orders. We ordered the cheeseburger, mac melt, and the flying Hawaiin. Most things are served on Texas Toast which is great if you like Texas Toast. I ordered one of the few things not on Texas Toast which was the Flying Hawaiin. It was served on a pretzel roll. Each sandwich came with a side. I liked that there were a few choices for sides besides French fries. I got the tomato basil soup for an upcharge of a dollar. Soup was good but was very oily. My sandwich was good but was lacking in pineapple. There was so little you really couldn't taste the pineapple. I probably wouldn't get it again. Hubby didn't seem to care for his cheeseburger since he said he was really hungry and only ate half of it. The kid really liked her mac melt. She ate the whole thing! So I think it's safe to say she would order that again. Overall, not a bad experience. I would eat here again and try something else. The salads looked really good. read more

Found this to be a great place to hang out and play games while having a meal. The service was good. Walk up and order your food, take a seat wherever you like, inside or outside. Games available, hack n sack, connect 4 and more. The menu is a little on the high end. I ordered a grill cheese sandwich and paid about $8 -$9 dollars. No extras, just cheese and bread. The sandwich and salad were good and fresh. The dressing was so so good! I would go back read more
