    Got the spicy chicken sandwich and fajita Mac. Spicy chicken was delicious but could use more of that spicy sauce. Wasn't enough. It was missing the flavor with most bites. The Mac was okay. It needs some seasoning. The Mac was creamy but extremely plain. If not for the fajita toppings. The Mac would have no flavor

    DOUBLE MELT-BURGER with lettuce wrap
    Robert L.

    Pulled up to Melt in the Palladio to meet a friend who works nearby--she sent that "I need food" text and I took it as a mission. Parking here is abundant, which already puts you in a good mood because nothing kills a craving faster than circling a lot like you're in a scavenger hunt. Walked in and that grilled cheese smell hit immediately... any thought of eating light was gone just like that. The place felt clean, relaxed, no weird chaos, just people in there enjoying what they came for. Now the food... yeah this isn't that basic grilled cheese from back in the day, this is the grown version that shows up with confidence. I went with a double spicy mushroom melt lettuce wrap with a fried egg and a mini Mac on the side... yeah I made a decision and stood on it. Crispy, cheesy, a little messy in the best way, and that fried egg just took it to another level. Every bite had me pausing for a second like hold on... let me respect this. I'm sitting across from my friend trying to keep a conversation going but also fully focused on not missing a single bite. Portions don't mess around either, you're leaving full and already thinking about what you're getting next time. And then there's Vic... super polite, welcoming, just good people. He wasn't just behind the counter, he was moving around, checking on folks, asking how everything was, even offering cookies which caught me off guard in the best way. It didn't feel forced, it felt real, like he actually cares about the experience people are having. Everyone that walked in got that same energy. And I'll be honest, I never write reviews on the spot--I go home, sit down at my computer, and give it that extra flavor I like putting into my reviews... but this one? I was already running it back in my head before I even left the parking lot. Melt didn't just come through on the food, they made it feel like more than just a quick stop.

    We have not been in this area for a while now and we really enjoyed The Melt our first time here. One of the best burgers and melts we have had. We also loved their design, open air entrance providing a lot of refreshing outside air and breeze. The staff again was very helpful and friendly with their service. Als9 offerr8ng free samples of their chocolate chip cookies. The Double Melt was amazing , cooked perfectly, and so filling. The melts both had an awesome amount of cheese and they were sooooo stretchy. Also cooked and prepared well. The garlic parm fries were loaded with garlic and so tasty, blasting with garlic flavor in each bite. Can't wait to come back to this area soon to have another bite.

    Kiosks to order from

    First time here though I've wanted to try for some time now. I like the corner space the have in the pilladio that allows for indoor and outdoor seating with a roll up door in between that gives the inside some welcomed fresh air. They have kiosks you can order from. I ordered the spicy burger and hubby ordered the double cheeseburger. We got a soda regular fries and tried the cookie. The burgers were so juicy and flavorful, the bun was a good quality bun. Ingredients tasted and appeared very fresh. THe jalapeños were sliced raw peppers and we so good on it. Hubby enjoyed his double cheeseburger too. They have condiment packets w mayo ketchup and mustard available, but you honestly don't need it at all because the burgers are tasty the way they are! The pickle on the side was delightful, super crunchy and flavorful. The fries had some sort of green seasoning on it, may have been finely chopped dill or parsley I'm not sure but worked well on the fries. The potion was a pleasant surprise too! We shared one and it was plenty for us. The sodas are natural sodas w real sugar! Big plus in my book! I'm not a soda drinker but when I splurge, it's nice to have this available. The ginger beer soda has a strong ginger flavor that I thoroughly enjoyed but hubby didn't care for. The root beer soda was also very tasty. The double chocolate cookie was cooked to perfection and the chocolate pieces were all melted and warm... sooooo good to top off an excellent meal! The spicy burger was 11.99 and the double cheeseburger was 15.99. The fries were 3.99. Last but definitely not least, an employee named Vic came to check on us and was genuine with making sure we were enjoying our meals and making sure we had everything we needed. Simple but thoughtful and sincere engagement makes dining here memorable. Thank you! We will definitely be back!

    Spiderwebs behind seat

    Food is always pretty good, just a bit pricey. The service is okay, can't comment on it too much as you order at a digital kiosk and pick it up at a counter when ready. Inside feels a bit cramped and they must not clean throughly very often as there were a bunch of spiderwebs and spiders directly behind my boyfriend's seat.

    My burger came out super quick and Vick was very welcoming to our party of 14. They also let us press the tables together to accommodate for everyone. Very nice very awesome. Would come again.

    OMG this place is . The burger was good and juicy. Unfortunately the bun fell apart before I finished the burger. The garlic fries are to die for I would definitely order the them again. I don't think that I would order a double next time. A single burger is plenty. The service was good and the ambience was cool. It's inside of the Palladio. I'll definitely come back.

    The food was great and the drinks were even better! I would definitely come back here someday!

    My daughter and I visited The Melt for the first time, and I can honestly say it exceeded our expectations. Since it was our first visit, we weren't sure what to order, but Jason, the manager, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He was incredibly friendly, patient, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations and willingness to help made the entire experience enjoyable from the moment we walked in. I ordered the Crispy Caesar Salad, and my daughter chose the Classic Cheese Melt with fries. Everything was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh, the food was prepared perfectly, and the portions were generous. It was clear that quality and customer satisfaction are priorities here. In addition to the great food, the restaurant was clean, inviting, and well-maintained. The level of customer service we received from Jason truly stood out and made our visit memorable. It's not often that you encounter someone who genuinely cares about creating a positive experience for every guest. Thank you, Jason, for your outstanding hospitality and for making our first visit such a wonderful one. We left happy, full, and already looking forward to coming back. The Melt has definitely earned two new loyal customers, and it will absolutely become one of our regular spots. I highly recommend giving this place a try! Thank you, Dr. Bailey

    Came here for a quick bite the other night. Very cool looking place, trendy, and kept very clean. The grilled cheese was actually pretty decent along with the side of a pickle. Kind of wish they offered a little bit more with a combo, like fries or chips. Maybe they did but this is what we grabbed. I also had a side Cobb salad that was OK. Wasn't anything extraordinary, but I think more of their attention goes into their burgers and sandwiches. The meat in the salad was pretty bland nothing worth bragging about. They have a different brand of sodas there and I thought those are OK. I would recommend this place. Located in the Palladio which is always very nice to walk around it. Customer service was good. We were greeted once we entered and we were acknowledged when leaving.

    Went to the aquarium down tjew street and needed something quick before our next animal encounter. We walked in here and were warmly greeted. Lacy helped us out and answered all our questions. The food was ready in a matter of minutes and we had no complaints. The garlic fries used fresh garlic and we loved them with all the sauces they gave us. 10 out of 10 HIGHLY recommend.

The inside needs a refresh with the decor imo. I feel like it could be amazing if they followed through with either the prison or dam theme more. Smoky inside and needs more ventilation. **adding that after reading reviews, I don't love how the owner addresses concerns toward visitors.

The bread crust had garlic baked onto it, and the dipping sauce was huge and flavorful. The Southwestern salad exceeded my expectations. It was huge! The chicken was grilled and blackened and cooked to perfection and served on a bed of fresh lettuce with black beans, chopped onions, and blue cheese with a spicy dressing that was fantastic.
