    Was out in the area and decided to grab something quick we never been here so decided to give it a try Customer Service is lacking Placed our order found a seat inside to sit and it was pretty messy table was dirty and floor We waited about 15min went up to get our food Everything was fine sandwich was barely full it was a bit over toasted and the pickle on the side was dry Overpriced for what we received

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Cute little place inside the spectrum Seating inside and outside patio Well kept and maintained Food is made to order Ingredients are fresh and tasty App ordering works well You can customize items too Nice to add fresh jalapeños to your order!!! Staff is helpful

    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!

    Came by with my granddaughter. Service was very helpful in sharing what options there were for kids. My granddaughter decided on the Mac - n - cheese and apple slices. She devoured it all. Great first experience.

    My kids really enjoy this place. It's easy. There's something to find for everyone. They have some very good options. The food is fresh and fast. It's easy to use the app. I really like using the app. It's really making it a much more pleasurable experience when you're in a rush. The bathroom is not the cleanest, but the place is usually pretty well. They have a good drink selection. There are milkshakes are excellent.

    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 :)

    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.

    Solid burger restaurant that is on the higher price range and quality. You order at the counter and they give you a ringer to pickup your order. The food is good and ingredients are fresh. Everything is clean and there is indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Our entire order came out except for the cold brew which required me to go to the counter to ask for. When they delivered the cold brew it had a layer of cold foam. I thought that was interesting and said maybe that's just how they do things here. Unfortunately, my partner couldn't drink it because of the dairy so I went to order the drink again. This time asking them for no cold foam. When they brought the drink to me it had cold foam, again and I had to send it back. So here were are 30 minutes later, 3 tries later and I'm now realizing I paid for another drink that was given to me incorrectly the first time...not to mention this place is not very inexpensive. I walked out disappointed and frustrated. Everything else was fine. The honey matcha was good but very heavy on the honey. The pastries we had here were good and fresh.

This was my first time trying Japanese pancake soufflé so wanted to get the original. It did not disappoint! It was light, fluffy, and reminded me of custard. Not too sweet either. By the time we left, it was closer to lunch time and it started getting more crowded. I would like to come back and try their lunch menu sometime. I can see why this place is packed on weekends. Lots of choices and so far everything was delish!
