Say Cheese! Perfect spot for beef or chicken burgers, mac and cheese, fries, and shakes. I ordered Spicy Mission Melt Burger with Garlic Parmesan Fries and iced water via cashier instead of kiosk. The burger was cooked to perfection. I loved the spicy melted sauce. Friendly staff and great customer service. Ambiance was nice and clean. They have seating inside and outside. read more

First, the veggie options were few. I ordered the impossible burger and for the high price of nearly $15, I got one of the worst veggie culinary experiences ever. The burger was greasy, laden with orange American cheese, and covered in a sauce that I just couldn't identify. No lettuce. No tomato. Just bun. Oh, and a quarter of a dill pickle. An hour later my stomach was still complaining. And then there was the "required" 15 percent minimum tip. For what? Taking my money and dropping a greasy veggie burger onto a cafeteria tray? The ambiance, by the way, was "early fast food. Rating: Two carrots. ^^ out of 5. They had a veggie burger. read more

We ordered this through DoorDash and it was a great call. If you like just straight up greasy burgers this is the spot. Really not much more to say, it's a good burger and I think their signature burger has some jalapeño on there. I'm bout that life. read more

Delicious food. The burger is a bit overpriced in my opinion, mostly due to the size. But I like it better than Shake Shack. The burger also comes with a pickle spear and that was delicious. read more

Finally decided to try this place and walking in and walking out a handful of times. I never feel like paying $15 for grilled cheese sandwich. So I ended up getting a burger. The burger was fine. Good brioche bun but the patty was basic and barely any spread. It's a big burger - 1/3 pound patty but underwhelming in flavor. Nice location at the spectrum but parking there is always tough. read more

Got some lunch over at The Melt in Irvine Spectrum Center. Located next to Panda Express, Chipotle and Yogurtland. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, a grilled cheese, fries, and a Philly cheese steak melt. Everyone enjoyed their meals. There is a soda fountain to self serve and they also have specialty drinks behind the counter. Super refreshing on a hot day like today! Awesome service. I think it was Amanda who helped me. She was great! read more

Located at Irvine Spectrum seating is inside and outside, but restaurant itself is small in the inside. They have multiple kiosk to order which helps out a lot this place gets crowded. The food was made fresh so it took a bit, wish I got the sandwiches instead of a burger. The prices are a bit high, but the quality of the food was good. read more

It was very easy to place my order on the mobile app. I wish it would allow me to select dine in when ordering because it automatically submits the order as a to go. It's a waste of paper packaging and it makes the fries a little soggy. They were really nice about it when I mentioned the soggy fries and actually made me a new order. That was unnecessary but definitely appreciated. The three cheese classic was yummy. With a beautiful cheese pull and perfectly crispy and buttery bread. My favorite part of the meal was the snickerdoodle shake. That's my go to flavor of shake. The texture is so creamy and the flavor is soooo amazing! Love it so much! read more

i always love stopping by the melt for a quick dinner pick-up with the bf. the self-serve kiosks are so convenient, and our orders are always ready so quickly, which makes it an easy go-to. i also really appreciate that they have impossible burger options that are both affordable and delicious. that said, their melty mac is also one of my favorites and something i find myself coming back for every time. a solid and reliable spot for a quick and satisfying meal. also randomly, love their wall decor. very punny, very cute. 10/10 :) read more

I've seen The Melt for years but did not realize they serve more than just grilled cheese because I never stepped inside the store until recently to look at their menu. So I came back and ordered a burger for my husband tonight. They were busy as most restaurants there on a Friday night. Hubby really liked his burger. He said it was "pretty good". Meat was good quality meat (supposed to be Wagyu beef, according to their menu description). It was thick and juicy. read more

Visited the melt at the Irvine spectrum on Saturday afternoon. Got a mac daddy and hubby ordered a spicy chicken sandwich that he said was saucy and yummy with yummy garlic parmesan fries. You can place your order at the counter or at the kiosk. I had visited a melt for the first time in San Jose a year ago and they only had orders taken at a kiosk. I remember feeling annoyed at that location because I was standing there for several minutes and no employee directed me to their kiosk. I ordered at the counter. This location was quite busy and loud. Service was good. An employee asked how our food was shortly after receiving it and another employee brought a free burger item that hubby ate and said was not bad. Soda options by Alameda. Overall good experience at this Melt. read more

I visited Melt for the first time and had a great experience. I ordered the 3 Cheese Classic Melt (with classic crispy bread), garlic Parmesan fries, a strawberry shake, and a soda. Everything was delicious. The 3 Cheese Classic Melt was especially impressive--simple, but really well done. The garlic on the fries was bold and flavorful, which I loved. There's an indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. Shoutout to Rachel for helping us out--she was very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is located in the spectrum. This place to me is decent. Everything is basically Ala Cart. I think it's way overpriced. The Italian melt was good 3/5. The burger was super greasy 2/5, the chicken sandwich was lacking flavor and crunch 1/5. The service is quick pace. However the fries were top notch. The ambiance is quick. This is a one and done for me. read more

My experience with The Melt is better than I thought it might be. It is a small, take out restaurant in the Spectrum, next to Dave and Busters. They have a lot of choices of sandwiches and burgers to choose from. Here are a few of the positives: the food is hot and tasty. I loved my patty melt. The loaded fries were not just good, but excellent. It reminded me of poutine in Canada. We also had a burger that was excellent. The food value is great, large portions, for a very reasonable price. Most of their menu is around $10.00 My wish list would be larger cups for drinks. To balance out the heavy food, maybe some cold salad choices? Macaroni Salad? Potato salad? Fruit? Other choices besides Cesar Salad. This place is highly recommended by me. I do want to come back and try other items. The staff is friendly, their are seats inside and outside. They do keep the place clean. read more

The original is an amazing burger! We arrived at 5:15pm on a Friday night and were pleased to find a table outside where we could hear the live band playing. We were even more excited that our order that was made fresh didn't take more than a few minutes to be ready. It was a great and tasty experience! read more

I went to the melt after many years. I remember when they first opened and I loved the restaurant. I couldn't justify going often since it felt unhealthy, but after trying it again I have changed mind. It is so good. Buttery cheesy goodness and I haven't had anything like it in along time. This place will definitely become a guilty pleasure of mine. The interior is clean and I enjoyed eating in. Tons of napkin stations everywhere which is definitely needed for the buttery bread. I am impressed read more

Grabbed lunch and decided to sit outside where the weather was warm and comfortable. Our table offered the perfect people-watching view... at least from my vantage point. THE FOOD. - Swiss Shroom. Melty Swiss, earthy grilled mushrooms, fresh spinach, and a pop of sweetness from the crispy onions. The ranch ties it together with a cool, tangy creaminess. Rich, balanced, and flavorful. - Original Melt Burger. Juicy beef patty, plenty of melted cheese, jalapeño pickle mix, and a tangy house sauce, all tucked into a soft, toasted bun. - Garlic Parmesan Fries. Crispy, golden fries tossed in garlic and Parmesan. They're salty, aromatic, and addictively savory. - Cheddar Bacon Ranch Fries. Loaded, indulgent pile of crispy fries topped with melted cheddar, bacon bits, and a drizzle of cool, creamy ranch. THE DRINK. - Strawberry Lemonade. The strawberry flavor smooths out the tart lemon, making it a crisp, fruity drink that cuts perfectly through all the rich, savory food. Light, chilled, and genuinely refreshing. THE PARKING. If you want to park closest to this casual dining spot, find a spot in the theater parking structure. Parking is free in that structure too. THE VERDICT. Great food, friendly service, and an easy ordering process (via online) made the whole experience a positive one. read more

Where do I even begin! The cheese the cheese the cheese, if you're a cheese lover like myself this is certainly the spot! As I try to be a bit healthy when I can I will say I got my Meltburger wrapped in lettuce and I did feel like this picture did not do enough justice they really PACK the meat and cheese into your burger and it's DELECTABLE. I will always come back for the cheese!!! The decor is adorable, they have plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas for this heat! It almost gives an in and out sort of vibe but it's more cutesy! Not to mention they have lots of options besides burgers! Their sandwiches and such look amazing so definitely heavy on the variety!!! The service is outstanding the employees are so sweet at this location! Being this is the only one I believe I've been too, I do intend on trying the one in San Diego but my overall experience with the food the vibes and the sweet yet efficient staff? A hundred stars! SOO fire! read more

The melt offers some extremely tender burgers in the vicinity, mouthwatering and eye opening burgers. Honestly I would say the price reflects the quality, you're getting a burger plus fries which cost extra that is comparable to some other burger joints, but according to the workers here this is made with Wagyu beef. On a busy day in the spectrum be prepared to wait up to 20 minutes for your food, the fries were seasoned amazing, I should have asked for some salt on the burger it was a tad on the bland side. Never the less tender and packed full which I love! It's a small inside, you'd be lucky if you got a seat, but like the spectrum provides, there's always outdoor tables you can find. Might be worth ordering to go just for that reason. read more

I was craving a burger and decided to swing by The Melt for the first time. The decor and customer service was beyond lovely but I can't really say that the food was worth the price.

It's a shame because the service was really nice, but I don't believe I'll be returning again for the quality and price. read more

Amazing!! Stopped by The Melt and it delivered exactly what it promises--comfort food done right. The grilled cheese was perfectly crisp on the outside, melty and rich inside, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Portions were generous without being sloppy, and everything came out hot and fresh. The menu is simple but intentional. No filler, no gimmicks--just well-executed classics.

My dad and I use to visit The Melt 10+ years ago when they only served grilled cheeses (we miss those days!) and stopped when they started to introduce burgers and removed a lot of our favorite grilled cheeses. We were walking around the Irvine Spectrum and decided to go down memory lane and ordered two to share amongst our group. We ordered the three cheese and patty melt grilled cheeses. They came out hot and melty and ooey gooey. They were so good. We're so glad they have a long list of grilled cheeses again. Our favorite amongst the group was the patty melt. The three cheese one would have tasted better if we ordered the tomato soup but gosh it was too hot for soup. We'll be back again! read more

The Melt - Patty melt with garlic parm fries and cherry soda - Sandwiches Near Me - Irvine, California

Fucking LOVE this place. Seriously my friend showed it to me a couple months ago and it's actually fucking addicting. If there was one closer to me, I would be here every fucking day. A grilled cheese with mac & cheese is the most genius gift ever sent from the heavens and the noodles are so big and soft. One day I'll just get the straight up mac & cheese too, but in the sandwich it's so fucking good. And every sandwich comes with the Fucking pickle and the pickles are gas! And one time I asked them to put the pickles in the sandwich and it was the greatest thing ever. I refuse to put meat in my mouth, so I basically do the Mac daddy without bacon. And the spicy Texas toast or whatever it is is fire as hell, I'm Hella white and it's not that spicy it's just flavorful so good.. To know the Melt is to love the Elt. Never change please. read more
