Very disappointing experience at Melt Shop at JFK. I ordered a grilled cheese expecting nicely toasted bread and hot, fully melted cheese. I mean, the place is called Melt Shop. What I got was basically two slices of soft, untoasted white bread with cheese in the middle that was only partially melted. It looked and tasted like it had been prepared with absolutely no care or effort. Probably the worst grilled cheese I've ever had. Not worth a penny. Eat anywhere else but Melt Shop. read more

I woke up craving grilled cheese with tomato soup... safe to say melt shop satisfied my craving and I will definitely be back The tomato soup didn't taste canned which is so important!!! The grilled cheese had a nice cheese pull There's seats to sit inside and kiosks for you to order. My order came out super quick which was a plus since I came during lunch hour read more

Clean, spacious and friendly staff. Stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered a dirty soda, soup and fries. I did order from one of the kiosks, but even then, from order to food delivery what extremely quick. Even my coworkers who ordered sandwiches had received their food quickly. Everything was extremely fresh, and I may or may not have dived into my soup a little too quickly. It was still with burning my tongue over how good the soup tasted and warmed me up with how cold it was outside. The dirty soda was something new to me and I wished I could have had more time in the city to other flavors! read more

Maybe I came at a bad time, but the food was not good. My grilled cheese was awful - bread was dry and cheese in between wasn't melted. Tomato soup was okay and french fries had too much garlic for me. read more

Food was ok. It was good but the portions were so small. For a little over $18 I was expecting more. Although, the food wasn't the best the lady at the register was super nice and helpful. I wouldn't shy away from trying it but for the same price, next door has really good food and I think that's where I would've rather ate. read more

I happen to see this spot and thought it looked interesting so we decided to go in and check it out , after looking at the menu we ended up order the cheeseburger grilled cheese as well as the Asian chicken sandwich. Now starting with the Cheeseburger melt it was good but my only complaint is the burger should be bigger or made square so there isn't so much bread around the burger but it did taste good. Now for the Korean BBQ chicken sandwich it was actually really good the slaw was perfect and overall I would definitely eat here again and maybe try some other options. read more

Needed to take my daughter chicken while she is inpatient at the hospital. Did not feel like cooking so she suggested Melt which was enroute to the hospital. Arrived on Sunday evening, parked at the door. No lines, or crowds. Very clean, quiet, friendly atmosphere. Gave my order to Nikki, whom is friendly, helpful, and very kind. The order was prepared fresh, the food tasted amazing, had to test the French fries (delicious). Loved everything about this place. Wish they had locations downtown Manhattan. But I don't mind coming to Midtown on a Sunday to enjoy the great food, and good vibes. read more

I'm still thinking about this honey mustard bacon tender wrap. It was so delicious and pretty large for the price ($11). The restaurant is pretty spacious and you can order at the counter or at the self serve station. It was pretty quick between ordering and getting my food, which is ideal. Definitely grab food from this store. read more

Love grilled cheese and passed by this place and had to try. Reasonable prices and grilled cheese was delish. They do a combination of American cheese and cheddar. Interesting thst the American cheese dis not fully melt. Still good though. You can have on thick bread or regular bread. Lots of sides and they have gluten free bread as well. read more

A solid spot in Midtown with American comfort food, like burgers, grilled cheese, and fries. I tried one of their summer special "dirty sodas", and it was really good. I liked the fried chicken sandwich the best, as I'm not typically a red-meat fan, but my partner enjoyed the wagyu patty in the burger melt. read more

If you're looking for an incredible sandwich, Melt Sandwich Shop is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with friendly, welcoming service that makes you feel like a regular. The staff genuinely cares about the food they serve, and it shows. The quality of the ingredients is outstanding--you can truly taste the difference in every bite. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Do yourself a favor and order the Philly Cheesesteak. It was absolutely outstanding and, dare I say, even better than some of the big-name Philly cheesesteak spots. That's not something I say lightly! This place has earned a customer for life. Highly recommend! read more

If you like cheesy sandwiches, this is your spot. Anything from fried chicken to grilled cheese is smothered in butter and cheese. The store front actually offers a nice reprieve from the bustling outside environment with lots of seating and sq-footage. It may not represent a NY classic, but you know exactly what you're going to get coming in. read more

i highly reccomend stopping by the Melt Shop! They have delicious crispy chicken melts & burgers. Most melts on their menu are about $10. I was very satisfied from the first bite to the last. There's indoor seating as well and you can order through the large tablets or at the counter. The food came out warm and did not take long. read more

Checking out NYC and felt like having a milkshake. Luckily there was a milkshake place next to Rockefeller Tree. We had the Oreo milkshake and it was really good. I really liked how smooth it was. It didn't taste overly sweet as well. read more

I have been coming to this location for years. The best thing they serve is the chicken fingers. I have been saying they are the best I have ever had. However, the last two times I have had it (this week and last week), the chicken itself is not the same. It is just kinda dry, where in the past it is usually juicy and tender. So juicy and tender, you can eat it cold left over from the fridge and it is good. I hope this is an aberration, but I have a feeling they lowered the quality of the chicken they are buying. I will give them one more try in a few weeks and if not better, will not longer go there. The rest of their menu is just ok at best. read more

Melt Shop is a great place for a quick lunch or dinner! They have a ton of different sandwiches, mostly including some really amazing chicken. This location had kiosks to order on, which I always love because you can look through the menu. There was tons of room to sit, and the restaurant is bright and clean. I ordered a Buffalo chicken melt with a Nutella shake. The chicken is perfection- crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The bread was toasted and crunchy, and the sauces had the right amount of kick. The milkshake was so thick and decadent with real Nutella globs in it. It was a great lunch! read more

i went in to get mac and cheese and they spent 20 minutes making me wait before finally telling me theres no mac and cheese...??? After i already paid? And then they didnt know how to give me a refund so i had to wait for some other lady to do it. The menu is also pretty small 0/10 read more

So good we had to run it back for a second day on my work trip. My colleague and I found this spot for a quick lunch break and it was so good we decided to try something else on the menu. First day, I went with the Mike's Hot Honey Mac and Cheese. It was good but I wished there was more mac and less honey in the sauce. Second day, I went with the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and it was good, much better than the Mac and cheese. My colleague tried two different wagyu cheeseburgers and raved about how good they both were. Overall, a very good and quick option in the area with no real wait. You order at a kiosk up front and the order gets sent to the kitchen to prepare where they call your name after it's done. Definitely recommend. read more

Impossible burger sucked and came w mayo or the signature sauce or whatever even tho i requested it to be sauce-less but the fries are really good read more

Even though Melt Shop started off as a grilled cheese shop, it's become more of a chicken sandwich destination. Grilled cheese and fried chicken sounds like a great comfort food pairing if you ask me. I chose Melt Shop to cater a work lunch for about 10 people. I liked that they offer several combo meals. For example, you have the option to order one of their classic melts, a chicken sandwich or 3 tenders each with Chips and a cookie. They also have a la carte options. For our lunch, we ordered one order of classic chicken sandwiches (each order comes with ten sandwiches), 1 tray of chicken tenders, 2 orders of fries and chocolate chip cookies. This was more than enough to feed our group. The order arrived on time and was still warm when we received it. Overall, the price was pretty reasonable too on a per person basis. Compared to other chicken sandwiches I had, I thought this one was good. The chicken patty was a nice size and it was crispy. The bun was also toasted, which I liked, and the sandwich came with pickles and Mayo. It wasn't at the top of my list but certainly a nice local option. The fries weren't as crispy as I'd like but I would still order from here again. I'm really curious to try some of their more unique sandwiches too like their Korean chicken sandwich or chicken melts. read more

I come here when I'm craving something... oily. Their burgers and meals in general are not for the light hearted. I usually get the grilled cheese and the classic melt is to die for. I also tried the Korean barbecue one and it was okay. The original chicken is a bit dry so I'd add a sauce. The ambiance is kind of nice, usually not too full of people. Service can be slow and sometimes the people working there will confuse you with their own confusion. Two weeks ago a guy gave me a bottle of water with no reason, just to claim it back. Stupid me for thinking they were trying to be nice during a heat wave read more

Standards have slipped. I had a "classic " cheese toastie : barely toasted limp soggy white break toasted cheese.

Service sucks. Waited for my food for 40 minutes. Not good at all the service is seriously terrible

Food is delicious for a "chain". Service was good at this location! It's NY so its tight & busy as expected. We got our food pretty quickly though. Its a cute sandwich/grilled cheese spot. definitely would like to be back to try different things on the menu. read more

We were visiting the area and looking for something new, with reviews. We were walking with the kids and 1 wanted McDonalds and the other one wanted Chick-fil-A. We came across the melt shop and it surprisingly wasn't busy. I ordered the Chicken Caesar wrap, my husband ordered the chicken sandwich and we got mozzarella sticks. The food was delicious! We would love to go back and check out the mac and cheese options. read more

Stopped by this place for lunch. Grabbed the avocado chicken ranch, parm fries, and guava lemonade. Nice portion size and sandwich was cooked really well. Chicken could use more seasoning, but still a solid sandwich. Service was quick and pretty minimal since it's a fast food place. Lots of seating inside and the place was clean and industrial. Overall, I paid around $20 for the meal. Not a bad find. Not sure if I'd seek this place out, but I would eat here again. read more

Went into the 50th street location for a chopped cheese (never had one before). I asked for no onions and no mayo. I received a sandwich but it had NO CHEESE. Doesn't sound like a chopped "cheese" to me? Too bad for me that I took it to go as I don't have time to walk it back during lunchtime. First and last time coming here unfortunately. read more

The food is decent. Came here for lunch. We had burgers, a chicken melt and fries. They made my daughter's burger incorrect. Despite us ordering it plain with cheese, they made it like displayed on the menu. They didn't seem too happy when we pointed out the mistake but quickly corrected it however, the rest of our party were pretty much done with our food by time it came out. read more

good food, decent service, ok ambience. Had a Cheeseburger, fries and Lemonade. Burger tasted fresh but a little overcooked. Girl taking the orders was pleasant. Place was busy, so it took awhile for the food to come out. Overall the place was clean. If I'm the neighborhood, I'd go back. read more

The melt shop on 50th and 7th ave is my favorite location! They have the most consistent high quality food- especially compared to their sister location on 8th ave up a few blocks. 50th MELT SHOP IS SUPERIOR! The staff at this location are always all so professional, courteous and KIND. You can see why, bc their manager is equally wonderful! Once I placed an order as I was leaving work, and arrived 5 min after close (thanks MTA). He saw me at the door, and ran over with my order asking just to confirm my name. What was remarkable is the manager was cleaning- he did the close out work alongside his team. Also my salad was fire- just so tasty. Don't forget to give feedback for free tots on your next order. I love the salads- and the chicken sandwiches ! My bf favorite is the GRILLED CHICKEN CHIPOTLE RANCH salad. I myself oscillate between the asian grilled chicken salad (w mandarin ) and the crispy chicken ranch salad The manager on today 7/8/22 Tory was the best!!! read more

JFK Airport, Jan 14, 2026. Looong wait for a small beef patty on 2 pieces of white bread. a teaspoon of carmelized onion, a smear of sauce and 4 dill pickle slices for $15+ incl tax. Huge hype. Would like proof they use Wagyu beef. Truly tough burger and over-cooked. read more
