    Tomato soup cup, atop with croutons. Three Cheese Classic.  And a dill pickle on the side.
    Draper O.

    I came into The Melt in Danville to pick up my mobile order. I was met with wondrous warmth and a sincere smile. From Luis, the Assistant Manager who greeted me. The Customer Service from him was terrific, and noteworthy. As was the delectable meal prepared for me. The classic grilled cheese, paired with the tomato soup is everything. A solidly recommendable combination. A favorite choice of many, especially is for a comfort foodie like me. At any time of day/night, I'm down to indulge. I'm grateful for the late closing hours. Also, the Alameda Craft soda stations, they have at each location. Which I find are the better of options we can choose from all When electing to dine in, after ordering items. I nowadays will only choose the sodas to drink that are crafted with real cane sugar. Not the high fructose corn syrup. You can taste the real difference. I now fondly prefer the seven different Alameda Soda beverage flavors on tap. Fortunately, they are free of artificial flavors/colors. Yay!

    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
    Jimmy R.

    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!

    Macaroni and Cheese Side
    Travis N.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    Simple, delicious food. Nice customer service. I feel like I'll probably not get to the other items because the focus is on the burgers.

Mushrooms cooked well and zucchini was delicious. Rice was undercooked though, it was hard, veggies sautéed in garlic delicious. String bean chicken was tasty too. Service: Slow. It Was just me waiting. Employee just starred at me and didn't say anything till about a min later. Then seemed interrupted by my presence... Overall: Food is good if you come at peak times where fresh food is present, service could need work but its what ever. Its good if you are in a pinch.

    AVOID THIS CHIPOTLE AT ALL COST!…read more Went on Friday night (12/5 at 7pm in case management reads these) and the service was uncomfortably rude and atrociously sloppy. The drink station had no napkins and lids were spilled everywhere. It was a complete mess and totally unattended. I saw three people working so maybe they had just come off a busy period or were short staffed but that does not excuse what happened. The way they built my burrito was with sheer laziness with no attention to detail. They didn't attempt to drain the chicken or beans and sauce was everywhere when they built it. I even said something about it being messy and the guy just ignored me. Checkout was so rude too. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, I WILL NEVER GO BACK. I literally used this experience to teach my daughter to never behave this way when she has a job someday. They had no integrity or pride in what they were doing and that is the absolute opposite of how any self-respecting individual should behave. I don't care if you're picking up trash, do it with integrity. Fast forward to Saturday night, I've never felt like I had dysentery like this before. Honestly, I cannot help but assume the experience we had was a direct reflection on the quality of the food we consumed. I wish we had denied what they served us and went somewhere else. That's how bad this Chipotle was...and it's not like I have terribly high expectations. Just be nice to me and serve me decent food. That did NOT happen here. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!!j

    This is for the Danville location. It is only for takeout and is very convenient for our family…read more We order online and by the time I pick it up is it almost always ready, steaming hot and cooked perfectly. We usually have one of the pre set specials and they are made correctly.

    I would like to start this review by saying the manager Preet at this location is single handedly…read moreruining this business . Every single review is someone complaining about their experience with her. Hopefully everyone is contacting corporate. We ordered pizzas for pick up. When we got home we opened the boxes to see they hadn't been cut. AT ALL. I tried cutting them and because they were so undercooked they were just tearing up. I called and the guy who answered was nice. He put me on hold and spoke to the manager. He came back on and said she told him to tell me if I want slices to bring it back. They will cut it. She didn't offer to get on the phone. Offer to make fresh ones to make it right. If I were to drive all the way back to get it sliced it would be cold. So I ask to speak to her. She jumps on immediately rude. I asked her name. She provided a fake one. She rudely stated if I want a refund she wants HER FOOD back. Then hung up on me. I was blown away. So I loaded up my kids and headed all the way there. Upon arrival I asked for the name provided and the staff was confused. So I asked the managers name. They gave her real one. She eventually came out and pretended she didn't speak to me on the phone 30 minutes prior. Then admitted it was her. She was argumentative. Smug. Refused the refund after I drove all the way there as she demanded. Then eventually gave it because I wasn't going to leave with no refund and cold pizzas. I advised her I was going to call corporate and she laughed. She should absolutely not be in customer service or around people in general. I'm assuming she's family of the owner and so has no fear of repercussions . Also based on all the horrendous reviews that are allllll from their experience with Preet and stating they are contacting corporate, the GM or owner has done nothing thus far. I will NEVER order from this business again. Nor should anyone else.
