    Melt remains one of my favorites for a tasty and quality meal at brunch, lunch or dinner. This trip was a late Monday afternoon after a long day of traveling for me and my husband. We both took advantage of the $3 off melt Monday special. It was 5 pm somewhere so we shared a cocktail which was awesome. We were quickly greeted and seated with menus and fast drink service. The panko cauliflower appetizer was served quickly with two tasty sauces - the melt sauce and a hot buffalo sauce. Our melts the duck and chicken parmigiana with macaroni and cheese for the mister and duck fat tater tots for me. We both had a 1/2 sandwich to bring home as leftovers. The seating area was a mix of high and low tables with a clean aesthetic which is great for a business meeting or a date night.

    Lunch with a side of fries!

    The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The service is fast & friendly. There are daily food and drink specials! What more could you ask for? Best of all...the food is AMAZING. The perfect panini does exist, and I found it here! Their sandwiches are paired with custom dipping sauces that complement the flavors & ingredients. I can't wait to come back!

    If you're looking for an unforgettable sandwich, Melt delivers. I ordered the Granny, and it was hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The combination of turkey, creamy brie, onion jam, crisp apple, toasted bread, and maple Dijon sauce was absolutely incredible. The duck fat fries were just as impressive, perfectly crispy and a great complement to the sandwich. Even on a busy Friday night, the restaurant had plenty of seating with a short wait, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. The staff was attentive, parking was easy, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

    Back to Melt. They were busy at lunch, but we got a two top quickly. London was fast and efficient. We shared the Cauliflower starter and I got the Grilled Salmon BLT wrap with Parmesan broccoli. My wife got the Chicken Salad wrap with a side salad. We took half our entrees home for later. Another delish meal at Melt! They have weekly drink specials and a full bar.

    Cyprus Salad with shrimp
    Mike G.

    We came here for lunch today with family. I had the Cyprus salad with shrimp, while my wife had the grilled cheese sandwich with tomato basil soup. Others in our group enjoyed a variety of sandwiches, salads, and soups. Everything was quite tasty. Food came out quick. Service was fine, I guess, yet not overly impressive.

    Salmon BLT
    Claire M.

    Insanely good. My family and I absolutely love this place and we're SO excited to find out they are expanding to open a second location on North Elm Street in the strip with Flame Broiler, NY Butcher Shop, etc in the old Elm Street Grille location. The service is always nice and pretty quick. They often have a wait, especially on weekends. Opening a second spot will help them be able to seat more people! The food always hits. Their Brussel sprouts are the best Brussels ever and their endless panini options are all so good. Tonight my mom and I got the Granny panini which is our favorite. Their duck fat fries are also really good. My dad got the salmon blt sandwich as a wrap which is another one of my favorites. The vibe inside is always good, people love this place and their food so they are happy to be there. I would highly recommend this place and encourage support for their new location when it opens!

    Classic Eggs Benedict
    Jim K.

    We haven't been to Melt in a few months so it was time to check out brunch. The menu appears to have expanded a bit since we last visited with lots of great options. I needed a Bloody Mary to sip on while pondering my choices. Well, the Bloody Mary was almost a meal in itself! A slice of Sour dough bread topped with several pickles and olives, a lime, the obligatory stalk of celery,and a mighty fine slice of bacon. After eating my way down to the Bloody Mary, I found it delicious with a very nice kick. Despite the Bloody Mary appetizer, I ordered the Steak and Egg Burrito and a side of Guilford Mill cheese grits. I'm very picky about my grits and consider myself a grit connoisseur and these are top shelf! The Steak and Egg Burrito was excellent...and huge! My wife selected one of the three Eggs Benedict options with fruit and found it to be delicious and more than she could eat. Our service was very friendly and checked on us just enough (that's good). I'm not going to let a few months go by without visiting again.

    This is really a place for paninis, but we got burgers. We = me and my son. We were going to see a concert nearby. The burgers and fries were a little bland but the Mac and Cheese was good and the beer was refreshing. The reason for four despite the negatives is twofold. One, it's a panini place and it wouldn't be fair to rate on something they don't specialize in. Shoot, we could have missed the best panini in the world and we don't even know it. If they had turkey, I would have had one. Two, the staff was excellent. Super friendly waitress, which helps a ton. I always put service #1, then food and atmosphere. Cleanliness isn't a factor because if it's dirty, no point in staying. The atmosphere was pretty cool. Small place with a good vibe. That said, my son was facing the restaurant and he said the staff kept going in and out of a room to whisper about something. Maybe there was some staff drama that day. I didn't even notice (facing the wall). Overall, recommended but I would definitely go with the paninis over the burger and fries, which were underwhelming.

    My sister and I went here on a Saturday afternoon and were sat immediately and greeted quickly by our server. The atmosphere is super chill and was a nice spot for a quick gathering. We ordered the Brussels sprouts which were phenomenal and a HUGE serving easily enough for 3-4 people. I ordered the ham and brie panini with a side of the dipping sauce from the granny, and my sister ordered the granny and we split it. The paninis were soooo soft but crunchy like you could hear the crunch when you bit into it. The dipping sauce though is what really made it. Personally I didn't like the French fries though. They are a duck fat fry but they weren't salted enough and I feel like they were too soft. I preferred them more once I took them home and threw them in the airfryer. Over all I woukd return for another panini and those Brussels sprouts

    Nothing but good things to say about this place. I got the Scarlett with tator tots and it was one of the top panini sandwiches I've ever had. I don't remember the name of the drink I got but it was one of the specialty cocktails and it was good and strong. Its a nice place with a good amount of seating and space between tables. The waitress was attentive and the food/drinks came out in timely manner. I've marked this place as one where I would bring out of town friends and family too and would highly recommend trying it out.

    The Granny with Brussel sprouts
    Michele S.

    Melt is a cute little gem in Greensboro. It has a different vibe than other restaurants in town -- a cozy and nice vibe! Service is solid and friendly! I like that they have a full bar. 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.

    When we pulled up I was like wow they have two levels and outside seating. I was wrong lol. The inside was packed but service was great. The menu is simple and I love simplicity. We ordered our food and it didn't take too long to come out. I love the option of switching out tacos! I had the fish taco and the buffalo shrimp taco with duck fries and brussel spouts. Everything was goooood! We will be back.

    Found this little gem on a Yelp search while in town for our granddaughter's soccer game and so glad we did! It's a cozy spot with the nicest people! The playlist was a whole throwback vibe and we loved it! My hubby had The Roast Beast with duck-fat fries and began to devour it before I could get a pic. His word for it, "magnificent." I had the Ham and Brie with duck-fat fries and my goodness was it delicious! The portions are very generous and the price points are spot on. The bar has daily specials as well, Thursdays are $6 glasses of wine. The Limestone Hill Chardonnay was very good and my husband had a rye old fashioned that was perfectly crafted. Our quick stop for dinner turned into a nice impromptu date night. This place will definitely be on our rotation when we are visiting the kids.

    Blood orange mocktail. Very heavy on the lime juice.

I was especially interested in the Toasted Cuban Bread, the Authentic Cuban Sandwich, and the Pan Con Bistec, and tried them all over several visits, along with Chicharrones, Ceviche, plantains, Fried Chicken Sandwich, Ropa Vieja, Street Corn, and more. My experiences here were definitely a mixed bag with both the food and the service. On one visit the service would be fine, and on the next it would be awful. Time for food to arrive on the table varied greatly, even when the restaurant was not especially busy. The Cuban Sandwich is decent but it doesn't scream "South Florida". I was more impressed with the Pan Con Bistec, a better choice in my opinion, as is the Fried Chicken Sandwich especially with a side of sweet plantains or yucca fries. The Toasted Cuban Bread, the Street Corn, and the Ceviche were also pretty good choices, as are the Chicharroes. I did not care for the Ropa Vieja at all, nor the Cuban Deluxe Sandwich, too much going on, croquettes adversely effected both the taste and the texture if the Cuban! I was sorry to hear that the restaurant will close permanently on Aug 24th. The owners site a drop in business due to the downtown parking situation (which likely will only get worse with the coming changes), safety concerns by potential customers, as well as rising costs in almost all areas of operation.

On the edge of the Greensboro and Summerfield border, near the PTI airport, lies a small restaurant with big flavor and big heart. This location has been many things in the past, but I am hopeful that Empanada Grill will last forever. The menu is very simple , but nobody needs to make complicated empanadas. I would rather a place do a few things well than have a wide variety of things and be mediocre. Empanada Grill is as far from mediocre as you can get. I opted for their empanadas undressed in the traditional chicken style. It came with a side of rice and beans. You got to choose between red or black beans, and white, yellow, or traditional rice. I went with the black beans and traditional rice. This was enough food for two meals. I received my food to go, as I had a practice to get to, but there is a variety of seating areas within to accommodate groups of all sizes. The black beans deserve a picture of their own because they are basically a full meal themselves. I ate half before I remembered to take a picture because they were so good. I would definitely bring the family back to this restaurant, as we all love empanadas. I would love to try the traditional beef next time. The worst part about this trip? My car smelled like empanada the next day and I had no more empanada to eat. But that's a problem that can easily be solved with a trip back to my new favorite empanada place.
