    A shot of the inside of the blackberry beret

    So many places to choose from at the foundry and I usually end up at the same one each time, but this time my teen wanted to try the place that specializes in mac and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches. If it were up to me it would be five stars, my daughter wasn't crazy about the mac and cheese however. She liked the pizza part of it but said the mac and cheese tasted like it was out of a box. That disappointed her. We loved the garlic cheese curds. The garlic is what set them apart. We agreed that we would definitely go again, we will likely both go with sandwiches and share some fries or cheese curds again. We had to wait maybe 10 or 15 minutes on the food, but it was served hot and fresh. I was not frustrated by the wait and staff were friendly. We were there during the day so there was space to sit out in the open. Will definitely return!

    Steve's Meltdown at the Foundry is what I would have wanted at a mall food court when I was ages 5 through, well, probably through my death. I've been twice and I could stand to go two times a month at least. The War Figs Grilled Cheese is what I've ordered on both visits. The menu says: "toasted sourdough with fig jam, goat cheese, white cheddar, bacon and balsamic glaze. Served with fig jam on the side for dipping." I have the employees hold the bacon from this sandwich. It is the best! Perfectly sweet, creamy, and salty. Several vegetarian sandwiches are sold, but I like fig. The sandwich takes 7-8 min to cook. That's enough time for a quick walk outside or for a visit to shops or to Poptimism for a dessert-first experience.

    One of our favorite spots at City Foundry, Steve's Meltdown was a big hit for our grilled cheese loving family! We came by on a Friday night around dinner and they were one of the busiest stalls at the food hall. Service was efficient and the staff taking orders was friendly and patient with our questions as first time visitors. Since there were a lot of customers, there was a bit of a wait, but without a doubt, the food was worth every second. If you're looking for a good eat at the Foundry, Steve's Meltdown won't disappoint. Our order consisted of the Sweet Caroline Grilled Cheese, Buffalo Springfield Grilled Cheese, and a side of Krinkle Fries. As grilled cheese lovers, both of these sandwiches were fantastic. I loved the Sweet Caroline and was drawn to it for the Brie, apple slices, and cranberry jam. Such a unique twist to a grilled cheese, but it all worked perfectly together. My husband had the Buffalo Springfield and could not stop raving about it. We would recommend either of these two sandwiches. The fries complemented the sandwiches well. They were the perfect size to share with someone else. Steve's Meltdown made a strong first impression. It was one of our favorite eats in St. Louis. We would definitely return again the next time we're in town and at the Foundry.

    I used to live in STL and always stop by the food hall when I'm in town. This was a new stop for me and I got the Mac n cheese and the fig grilled cheese. The Mac n cheese was just okay, a little watery so it lacked that cheesy flavor. The grilled cheese was good but I wish the fig jam would've come already on the sandwich rather than on the side. I feel there are better options in the food hall.

    Great cheese place in the Foundry food court. I had fried cheese curds. They were great and was a big portion. I want to go back and try some of their grilled cheese sandwiches. I saw other customers sandwiches. They were beautiful. The staff was really friendly and helpful.

    Sweet Caroline and fries with ketchup

    Went to the City Foundry last night before going to the movies. I always have a hard time deciding what I want and decided to try this place. I ordered the sweet Caroline and fries although the Mac and cheese sounded good too! Sandwich took a few minutes to make but was made fresh and was delicious. The fries were a pretty large portion for the cost, which was nice. It was a Thursday so the city foundry was emptier than usual and pretty quiet. No issues finding a table at all.

    Sweet Caroline grilled cheese

    Located in the bustling food hall of the foundry, is Steve's meltdown. They have a great selection of comforting soup and various grilled cheese sandwiches. Elevated! On this day, I opted for the Sweet Caroline grilled cheese and tomato basil soup. They were both quite good. Service was polite.

    My inner child is happy! Steve's Meltdown allows me to enjoy a grilled cheese adult style. The sandwich is made to order with friendly attendants.

    Grilled cheese of the month with spinach and artichoke dip
    Kelsie R.

    First time trying Steve's Meltdown and I thought it was pretty good. I thought the flavor was good, but was quickly cold having spinach and artichoke dip in the middle. Overall would try their Mac and cheese or something else next time! The grilled cheese took a bit longer for not having anyone else in line. Vibe: Love the Foundry overall, with tons of options to try

    Ooooooooh, omg you gotta try this spot.. just trust me! This is definitely a place for my foodies! So basically there's like different types and flavors of grilled cheese sandwiches. We decided to do the war figs, which had white cheese, bacon, and fig jam as well as the That's Amore which is a pizza inspired sandwich. I didn't think I would like war figs but that was probably my favorite because I'm a sucker for sweet and salty combos. They were buttery and perfectly cooked. It's located inside of City Foundry, so you can order your food and find a spot to sit. I can't wait to go back, it was so good! There's plenty of seating and the staff were super friendly and excited to talk to us! Highly recommend!

    I ordered the war figs grilled cheese, and it was delicious! I didn't think I was going to like dipping it in the fig jam but it was sooo good, I kept coming back to the jam. The fries were fresh and crispy, and the worker was very nice and greeted me as I walked up. They also have Excel products to drink, which I love strawberry ski so that was also a plus. There are many places to sit in the foundry and it was such a cool experience and was very clean as well.

    I love this place, I have been twice and always get the vegan grilled cheese. It is delicious! A little pricey but worth it. I love the food court at the foundry, it has lots of open seating and places to choose from. Something for everyone. I have been twice both times on a weekend and it was not too crowded.

    Clean and welcoming atmosphere

    Not sure if I came here on a bad night or what, but I was not impressed with my visit here. I really wanted to love this place, especially because of all the great reviews so far, but I feel like I would've been better off just making some grilled cheeses at home! When I saw that Steve's Meltdown is from the same family of restaurants as Steve's Hot Dogs and The Fountain on Locust, I got really excited. I am an avid Fountain on Locust visitor, and I regularly recommend it to everyone I know. I ALWAYS order their Royal Grille, which is their adult grilled cheese with white cheddar, mozzarella, and Fuji apple slices on whole grain wheat bread. As a result, I had very high hopes for my visit to Steve's Meltdown. I decided to order the Sweet Caroline, as it seemed like an exciting twist to my classic Royal Grille from The Fountain on Locust. It was pretty good, but my boyfriend and I had some issues. He ordered the That's Amore Grilled Cheese, and we both noticed that our sandwiches were cold, and the cheese wasn't quite melted in some spots. If the sandwiches had been cold just in the center, I would've had a bit more understanding. But when the first bite is cold, that's not an ideal grilled cheese experience! My Sweet Caroline was overall warmer than my boyfriend's sandwich, but still not the best. Seemed to be missing the "melt" part of MELTdown! The employees were not unwelcoming or rude by any means, but not notably friendly or personable either. Just a very average experience. We ordered our sandwiches at the order counter and waited less than 10 minutes for our name to be called at the pick-up counter. Pretty quick service, especially with all the crowds at the City Foundry on a Friday night, so no complaints there! Overall, I just find it a bit difficult to justify spending almost $30 on a side of fries and two grilled cheeses that didn't completely wow us. I absolutely love this restaurant's concept idea and that they offer unique and fun flavor options for a classic food item, but maybe I'll wait to revisit after this place isn't so new. I would also consider trying their mac and cheese next time, too.

    I got some regular Mac and cheese for my kid. It came with crinkle fries. It was about as generic as school cafeteria.

I stopped by on a Sunday just before a rush, so I was able to get my food ordered and made promptly. I just had the spicy chicken katsu sandwich and fries, which was very good. Particularly with the sheer amount fries in the box, you could easily split it. I do want to eventually come by and try one of their desserts, but I was absolutely stuffed after my food, so I did not indulge this time. Considering the serving size, I think the price is very reasonable. It's not a huge menu, but sometimes that's just a sign that they only make what they know they can do well. Highly recommended

The only thing I expected a bit more from was the bread itself. Since it's a sandwich-focused spot, I thought it would be a little more memorable, but it definitely didn't take away from how good everything else was. Don't skip dessert either. We tried both the Choc Oreo Taiyaki and the Nutella Taiyaki (those fish-shaped waffle things), and they were the perfect sweet finish. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!
