    Chicken bacon mac and cheese FRIES
    Cynthia S.

    I'd give it a solid 4 Had the chicken bacon mac and cheese and regular fries. Fries are well cooked. Crispy and seasoned well. Mac and cheese are yummy BUT I am one of those people who cannot handle too much garlic and this one has A LOT of garlic. It was still yummy but I cannot handle that level of garlic . The place has quite a number of tables. But they get busy when the next door high school is out for lunch.

    SPICY CRISPY CHICKEN
    Kimberly N.

    I've been to other locations, and I wasn't as impressed with this one. My first impression was that it was not as clean. The trash was overflowing in the bathroom, there was no more ketchup, and the ketchup/utensils area was messy. The staff is friendly and attentive, but the area needs to be cleaned a bit more frequently. Now for the food, we had some good dishes and some were ok. I came with my husband and we decided to split food so we could try a few things. The Spicy Mission Burger: This was a good burger, and we added mushrooms, lettuce, and tomatoes. The burger was a bit dry, and they forgot to add our lettuce, but overall it was good. It is tasty. Spicy Crispy Sandwich, this was my favorite. The chicken was breaded well, and the flavor was good. Three Cheese Classic with added Crumbs, this was a bit bland and I was disappointed it wasn't as cheesy. I would skip this one next time. Strawberry Shake, it was delicious! It wasn't too sweet and it was creamy. Fries, they were thin and cooked just right. The seasoning was also perfect. Overall the experience wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. I would still come back and give them a try. There were other dishes that I would like to order next time.

    CHOPPED COBB SALAD

    Food is as good as the pics look, which is excellent. It's now one of my favorite burger joints. Nothing fancy, just a clean, well kept dining area serving great burgers. Don't come out smelling like burgers so the ventilation is very good, especially with the "garage" door open. Music is a bit louder than it needs to be but other than that, a great place to have a great burger. Really this place is a 4.5 star burger joint so after I return I'll rate it a 4.... Unless it serves up even better burgers!

    Nashville spicy chicken sandwich
    Lu Lu S.

    Yummmmmyyy! Our family of 4 visited The Melt on Friday evening for dinner and unanimously, hands down, we all love it! I ordered the Nashville spicy chicken sandwich with garlic fries and wow the chicken was thin and crispy, the sauce and jalapeños definitely gave it a spice kick, it's tasty!! The garlic Parmesan fries was delicious as well! The hubs ordered a patty melt with garlic fries and loved it. He said he's definitely down to come back. My son devoured the fajitas mac & cheese he ordered and he said he was delicious and a decent size portion. My daughter ordered a kids burger with apples . Everybody was satisfied with their meal. We were Soo full and chilling at the table and a worker came by to ask how we were doing and gave us a complimentary freshly baked chocolate chip cookie! Yummm it was warm and gooey melted chocolate!! We were full but had to try some! We'll be back for sure!!

    Macaroni and Cheese Side

    Burger was a bit overcooked (for me, at least) and I was hoping for more cheese, but the mushrooms added good flavor. I enjoyed the cookies and cream smoothie. It was on the thicker side as far as shakes go, but it had good flavor. The food came out very quick, which was also nice.

    this is the second Melt i come to; the first in SF last year, and it was a great experience. i peeped one here in Danville area, so i ordered tomato soup and a classic melt. service was good, as i ordered in front instead of available kiosks still, an elite tomato soup and generous sandwich/ melt portions to fill you up! only time ill consume tomatoes

    Garlic Parmesan Fries (5 stars)
    Daniel C.

    Updated Review, for take-out: My previous review was a bit harsh from a Doordash experience. Its a totally different experience coming here in person for takeout. Plenty of parking, large, spacious interior with cool vibes, and friendly service. One unique feature is that they open really early - like 10am. This seems way too early for burgers. However. my 4yo son starts school at 11:30am, and with a busy schedule we don't always have time to cook lunch for him. Plus, he's a picky eater! Enter the Kid's Cheeseburger at Melt. Juicy beef patty that's literally encased in melted American cheese, This is much better than sliced cheese, since that way my son can't fish it out, LOL! The kid's fries are a good portion too, and always crispy and seasoned. Definitely a regular fan again, and thanks for opening at 10am while every other local restaurant seems to open 11am or 11:30am for lunch.

    Fries, MELTBURGER with caramelized onions, MINI MAC
    Joey M.

    nice place, very lively with the decor and music. customer service was great, was later in the evening not too many customers. ordered original meltburger added caramelized onions, mini mac n cheese cup, and fries. burger was very juicy and fries were very good with the green flavoring, mac n cheese was decent but not as creamy i was expecting.

    Jessica D.

    I did not get why The Melt has been so hyped when I finally tried it. It's bland yet spicy from the jalapeños and the cheese has a texture where it felt like I was chewing on wet paper. The fries were also too crispy on the outside for my liking. My boyfriend loves The Melt, but this is a big pass for me.

    Ok I know this place does not need another review as everyone goes - but I gotta' say that I reeeeally didn't want a burger in our drive home from Mt. Diablo but I lost out 3:1 - fiiiine - we ordered the Mac n cheese and some burgers and fries and the Portillo cheese steak sammy and reeeeally enjoyed all of it! And the staff? Super nice and engaged - I couldn't be more impressed with a chain employee in regards to interaction and service - we left full but not queasy - food wasn't greasy, we enjoyed every last bite - good value for the money as well- kids weren't hungry after burger and fries - we drove home with a smile on our faces

I tried their pick up option online so I could order and pay without waiting. The app even tells when your order is ready. I decided to build my own sandwich and ordered a roast beef and turkey sandwich on Dutch crunch with everything. Picked it up to a friendly greeting and smiles from all of the staff. Took it home to eat and wow this was a huge sandwich and full of ingredients. Unfortunately I noticed quickly it was all turkey and no roast beef. They forgot my meat. I sure hope they get it right next time. I should say that even without my roast beef this was an incredible tasty sandwich. Every bite got better and better. I honestly can say I haven't had a deli sandwich as good as this in a very long time. Probably the best Dutch crunch roll ever and so soft with the perfect amount of crunch and sweetness on top. This sandwich was pure heaven and so big but I was hungry and wanted to go right back for another. Still one of the best sandwiches in the Bay Area and I'm so glad there finally in my hometown of Pleasanton. I'll be back soon and very often I guarantee! It's a must try if you're in the area or even if it's a bit of a drive. Tell em Scotty sent you.
