    The Melt is great. Located in Burbank you will have a tiny issue with parking but you will be fine. The prices are fair and all of their food is great. I think this one may be newer, but I am not sure. It looks new. It is super cute and comfortable. You can dine in, pick up or have it delivered. The service is fast, efficient and friendly. The entire staff has a smile and they all are kind. They are great with kids. We just love all their burgers. Their impossible burger is very good, but we love meat so we often go with a bacon burger and fries. You must order a strawberry lemonade. It is so good. We also like their tomato soup and they make a great Caesar salad. They also have a nice chopped cobb salad and even a small Caesar if you just want a little. The burgers are the star of the show and you will love them.

    Garlic chicken bacon mac

    Sometime this year I was craving a simple burger and the places that I've tried just didn't do the job. Then The Melt opens in Burbank. There is this advertisement for a double patty cheeseburger and all of a sudden that craving for a juicy and cheesy burger reignited. I ordered the signature burger The Melt with double patty. Added Chicken bacon mac and cheese and a drink. The burger is tasty, juicy, a bit greasy, and very heavy. I think that burger alone don't need any sides. The mac and cheese was a bit disappointing. At the place it felt that there was lack of flavor. I enjoy left overs so I gave it a shot later and it was still the same. It took a couple of days after to finish what was leftover. I don't recommend the mac and cheese here. I like the idea of ordering through the touch screen kiosk or at the counter with someone. I also like that there is a screen that shows your order in a queue along with any food delivery services. Overall I enjoyed The Melt. I'd like to try other items on the menu and hope those are not super heavy like the double patty cheeseburger. Oh yea! I was given a sample of their chocolate chip cookie. Very tasty. Parking: structures in the area VERDICT: Rinse and repeat

    Swiss and shroom melt burger
    Nancy Q.

    What a delicious burger!!! The beef is so juicy with a slight char. The bread is super soft. Both burgers were very flavorful with fresh veggies. My partner got the Swiss and shroom and it was clear why it's a fan favorite. It's stacked with mushrooms, crispy onions, and fresh spinach. The spicy mission was my jam. It had lettuce, avocado, and fresh sliced jalepeno. We also got garlic parmesan fries. So flavorful. They gave us ranch and spicy sauce for dipping and they were good as well. Service was super friendly and quick. Love that they are open till midnight for those post movie midnight cravings. The price is more than in n out and less than shake shack. We definitely got a whole lot more than in n out. And we won't be going to shake shack anymore. Can't wait to try out other items.

    We decided to try this new spot here in Burbank and I am disappointed that we did, because these burgers are the BOMB and we're going to crave them! SO good! I had the Double Swiss & Shroom and loved it, but it was massive. My wife got a single Original and it was absolutely delicious! Other food we saw looked good, too. Service was friendly. Will definitely be back.

    MELTY MAC
    Erina P.

    I was looking forward to trying out this new location of The Melt, as I remember how way back in the day they had a location in Burbank but closed before I could try it then. The new location is now where the Skechers used to be, and I think it's a bit bigger than where they used to be. I ordered their melty mac and cheese, and I thought it was pretty good. It definitely lived up to its name as it was very creamy and melty. I also liked the breadcrumb topping, and they have little packets of Tabasco that go well with it. My personal preference is for a sharper baked type mac and cheese, but those of you who prefer the creamy type will particularly like this I think. Portion is also huge! You can either order at the counter, or on the screens they have on the side of the store. Once I ordered, my food came out in about 10 minutes and definitely was very fresh and made to order. Also, after sitting there a while, one of their employees came up and offered a piece of cookie to me, which I thought was very nice of them. Looking forward to trying some of their other items next time.

    Garlic Parmesan Fries

    After spending a couple hours shopping and overheating my sweet husband at the Jackalope Art Fair, we needed to find a place for a late lunch. With lots of dining options in this area we often spend some time deciding, but after seeing MELT, it was a done deal. Ordering was easy at one of the kiosks -- Double Swiss & Shroom Meltburger for him, Crispy Classic for me and Garlic Parmesan Fries to share. We also opted to try the Natural Soda fountain drink (pretty good!). There were several open tables, we chose to sit outside. The table was a bit dirty, but we took care of that with some napkins. In just a few minutes the pager buzzed, and the husband went to pick up our order. We were both amazed at how everything looked just like the menu pics! I seriously stared at the huge chicken sandwich for a few seconds before taking my first bite -- nicely fried, moist, tender and that jalapeño pickle slaw was surprisingly so good! The husband was super impressed with the size and quality of his burger. The fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned well. Generous portions and incredible flavors -- deliciousness! And just as we were about to finish, we were offered freshly baked chocolate chunk cookie samples -- YUM! During our visit three team members walked around to greet and check in with customers. Great service all around and wonderful first experience -- we'll be back! :)

    So I can hear a lot of you saying they are only burgers but I LOVE a good burger! I have been waiting to try this place ever since the signs went up after the sketchers store closed. So I was happy to have the chance to stop in. Now before I see posts about price, this place isn't cheap. However, unlike some burger spots, I have been disappointed that the Melt is worth it. It took me a few minutes to decide because there were so many options that jumped out at me. I finally went with the double bacon melt with one addition; a fried egg! On the side I went with garlic Parmesan fries because I love potatoes, I love cheese and GARLIC!!! They were the perfect accompaniment to this meat and cheese masterpiece. On the way out after I threw out my trash and returned my tray one of their employees stopped me to ask how everything was. I always appreciate being acknowledged, I have spent most of my life working in hospitality and this is all part of great service .

    We ordered a crispy and grilled chicken sandwich. The crispy sandwich arrived right away. The other sandwich was delivered to our table which needed to be sent back because it was the wrong sandwich. Then other sandwich was delivered and once again the wrong sandwich. I even checked my receipt because I wondered whether I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. Finally the correct sandwich was delivered. Unfortunately my husband finished his sandwich by the time my sandwich arrived. Timely was wrong. Lots of table seating.

    I first became familiar with The Melt when they had a location at the Westlake Promenade, so when I heard they opened a new spot in Downtown Burbank, I decided to give them another try. Since I was trying to keep things a little lighter and was not in the mood for a ton of cheese (hence "The Melt") and carbs, I ordered the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken, served with a Parmesan crisp, grilled cheese croutons and shredded Parmesan on a bed of romaine with tangy Caesar dressing on the side. To balance it out, I shared with my friend some of the Sweet Potato Fries tossed in a sweet and salty seasoning and the Cookies & Cream Shake. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, with about 5-6 tables of varying sizes inside and a couple of outdoor tables. Personally, I think this location is better suited for takeout rather than dining in, especially during busier times. As for parking, I usually avoid circling around the lots directly below the restaurant and instead park at the main mall structure nearby since there always seems to be more available parking there. Overall, the food was fine and the location is convenient for Downtown Burbank. The Melt's menu leans heavier than what I typically gravitate toward and please note that is more of a personal preference than a criticism of the restaurant itself.

    The Original with bacon and a side pickle
    Randall G.

    Very solid. A little salty and was hoping for more gooey cheese. Cooked well choosing medium temp. Great staff. Even handed out free cookie samples. Chocolate chip would've been worth a full purchase.

    May 2026 - Open 10am to midnight daily. Walking around Downtown Burbank or are you waiting to eat at Boiling Crab but there is a 2 hour wait? Why wait, pre-eat and have an amazing Angus-Wagyu beef burger at The Melt. Totally love.... BBQ Bacon Angus Melt Burger Classic Crispy Chicken Melty Mac French fries Warm Chocolate Chunk cookie Cookies & Cream with malt Parking: Plenty of free parking 1 block away at the Police & Fire station or the Burbank Mall. Outdoor seating available if you have furkids. SUPER-FRIENDLY STAFF & AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    Stopped by casually while trying to find a spot to eat before our movie at the AMC. We were greeted by a very friendly staff member where she answered our questions and explained the menu. They recently opened and the space indoors could use a bit more seating imo, but they do have outdoor seating. The burgers we ordered were fantastic and I cannot wait to go back and try something new. The regular and sweet potato fries were both tasty. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the Burbank area.

    I got the impossible burger with spicy sauce and it's a very standard choice. No frills, but my fries were fresh because I asked for them plain and they were delicious!

I ended up getting the Beef, Chili Carne, Chicken, Spicy Potato, Santa Fe Chicken, and Spinach & Cheese empanadas. They were all really good, and I liked that they let me choose from three different sauces/salsas to go with them. Everything came out quickly and was packaged really well. They even included a list showing which empanada was which, which I really appreciated since they all looked pretty similar once they were in the box. I actually came for the empanadas, but they also had fresh pasta and decided to give it a try. I'm really glad I did because it was excellent. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, the sauce was delicious, and honestly I'd come back just for the pasta.

Was disappointed to open the bag and see the muffin had been tossed in a single bag with both ham croissants instead of each item being individually wrapped, coating the muffin in oils from the ham and leaving me unable to enjoy it due to my body's sensitivities to meat :( Reordered on DoorDash to see if I could get my double chocolate muffin (without any meat products in the order this time) and saw they replaced it with chocolate chip muffins because they were out of double chocolate muffins.

TLDR: Hear me out, if you have any doubt about chicken being less superior to beef or other meat. TRY the chicken thigh here. It makes justice for chickens (I still need to try their beef or lamb tho) I was running errands in Glendale today and I was starving and looking for lunch spots around. Turns out Mini Kabob was 3 mins walk away, it was a no brainer, my feet just took me there. Didn't expect to go there, so didn't order ahead but I'm fine with waiting. After last time's magnificent chicken thigh, I was determined to try their other entrees. However, Armen said the chicken thigh is the best seller out of their entrees- well, time for a round 2 I guess? This time I'm eating the entree at the spot and I just gotta say- IT SLAPS!! I'm genuinely not a big fan of chicken, because when you can choose beef why chicken? But this chicken is so juicy, so tender, so heavenly. Yummy!! The garlic sauce is great but the hummus and the fresh lavash, h o l y - f. Last time it was already so good even as a leftover, and eating it right at the spot is just transcending. I also tried their Armenian pear soda, it's delicious and refreshing with the heat right now in summer. I left with my tummy happy and their service is always great, they get busy but still no attitude, no bs, gives the right recommendations.
