    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.

I am vegetarian and have eaten at many vegetarian restaurants over the years. I would confidently say that Blossom and Root is the best vegetarian restaurant in the Bay Area and it may be my favorite restaurant hands down. Food: Key to a great restaurant is consistency. The food and dishes are consistently great at Blossom and Root over many visits. I have tried the Smash burger, yellow curry, Mediterranean bowl, french toast, pancakes, chilaquiles, breakfast burrito and several other dishes. Yellow curry is my hands down favorite but honestly no dish has ever disappointed. Every dish is always very freshly prepared. You can tell. They have a kids menu as well. Kids will also love the "experience" of the Butterfly bubbles drink! Just try it! Ambiance: Cute restaurant with a modern craftsmen kitchen feel. It feels like you are eating at the home of a friend with a nice house. Casual vibe that is kid friendly. Service: Servers and staff are always very friendly and helpful. Sometimes it can get slow for attention when they get busy.

It was about 1/4 cup quinoa and millet and more tangerine oranges than grains. Look at the difference of portion sizes from our experience vs Yelp photos. I felt this was inadequate and asked for more grains. I got a 1/2 cup of extra quinoa (only). Tofu scramble and pancakes (adult and kid versions) were good. The server tried to insinuate that the adult pancakes weren't enough, but they were more than enough. We also ordered one orange juice for a child (paper cup with a copper straw jammed through the opening) and hot tea. Honest review, it was overpriced and moderately good. I would not return; quality and value for 3 adults and 1 child was not worth $100+ including tip. Hope they consider my feedback to improve; this place has great potential.

On Labor Day 2025, I was having coffee with George at the Starbucks next door when he suggested grabbing a burger here. We walked in at around 5:45pm and it wasn't too busy. The interior looked pretty much the same as before. 80s pop music was playing in the background. George got the Double Burger combo with garlic feta fries while I opted for the Cali Burger Combo with curly fries. The staffer who helped us was friendly and helpful. I noticed he was wearing a 'Back to the Future' hat and we both agreed that a rumored potential reboot of the franchise would be a terrible idea. Our food came out pretty quickly. The Cali Burger was very good. The burger was very juicy, and I loved that sourdough bread was used. The curly fries were good as well. I'm glad that Fat Maddie's is still around. Good burger joints are getting harder to find. I will definitely return. 4 solid stars.
