Surprised by how gooooood my sandwich was! I got the sweet potato fries & steak and cheese melt and wow! The steak was abundant and tender with lots of cheese and some jalapeños for heat. So good. I liked the large sliced potato fries and they were cooked to perfection. I think the pricing for the sandwich was pretty fair too at around $11 since it was pretty loaded and delicious. read more

Stopped by The Melt today for dinner. We decided to do takeout since it was pouring so hard. Customer service is wonderful here. The staff were very helpful with helping us decide which items to order. We ended up getting the Mac Daddy with a side of fries and strawberry lemonade. Food came out in less than 10 minutes. Everything was packaged nicely. As for the food, delicious and large portions. The entire meal can easily feed 2 people. The Mac Daddy grilled cheese was toasted to perfection and loaded with tons of mac & cheese topped with so much bacon! Every bite was packed with so much flavor! As for the fries, they are seasoned and pairs well with the grilled cheese. You can't go wrong with them. The strawberry lemonade is very refreshing and the best strawberry lemonade we've ever had! Overall great experience at The Melt. We really enjoyed the food and can't wait to come back. Also love the interior of the restaurant. Its very clean and aesthetically pleasing. read more

We visited in May. It was my first time, and I must say it was a pleasant experience. I'm quite picky when it comes to where I eat, and the staff was very patient and courteous. One worker even followed up with me to see if I liked the choice that I asked that he make for me. The food was really good, I have no complaints there. I ordered a the Classic Crispy Chicken, my mom and daughter ordered burgers, specifically the Swiss and Shroom, and Spicy Mission, respectively. My mom's had to prepared in a very specific way, which was beyond their norm, I'm sure, and they nailed it! They also thoroughly enjoyed the sweet potato fries, saying they were the best they've had at any restaurant, it's typically all they order when it comes to fries at any restaurant that offers them. I look forward to future visits. Great Job, The Melt!! read more

Upon crossing the sacred threshold of The Melt, I was immediately enveloped by an atmosphere so gastronomically transcendent that it felt less like entering a restaurant and more like stepping into a cathedral devoted to the molten divinity of dairy. The air itself shimmered with the ambrosial perfume of butter undergoing its Maillard-induced metamorphosis upon a griddle of near-mythological temperature. One does not simply order a grilled cheese here; one embarks upon a pilgrimage of toasted enlightenment. The sandwich--if such a humble word can even begin to encapsulate the architectural masterpiece presented before me--arrived with the quiet gravitas of a culinary relic. Two golden planes of bread, toasted to a chromatic gradient that could only be described as caramelized solar perfection, encased an interior biome of cheeses engaged in a viscous, euphoric congress. The cheddar did not merely melt; it cascaded, billowed, and philosophically contemplated liquidity. Upon the inaugural bite, my senses were subjected to a symphonic convergence of textures. The crust emitted a crisp yet diplomatically restrained crunch, while the interior performed a velvety ballet of dairy viscosity across my palate. It was as though lactose itself had achieved sentience and decided to express its life story through molten opulence. I briefly considered standing on the table and delivering an impromptu lecture on the metaphysics of cheese elasticity. The tomato soup--often relegated to the status of grilled cheese sidekick--was, in this establishment, elevated to a scarlet elixir of contemplative acidity. Each spoonful provided a tangy, herbaceous counterpoint that oscillated magnificently against the buttery decadence of the sandwich, creating a dialectical dialogue between comfort and brightness. Service, too, deserves mention. The staff operated with the efficiency of a well-calibrated dairy orchestra, guiding patrons through their grilled-cheese odyssey with an enthusiasm bordering on the evangelical. I would not have been surprised if one of them produced a velvet rope and whispered, "Sir, the gouda chamber is ready for you." In conclusion, dining at The Melt is not merely an act of eating--it is a butter-lacquered epiphany, a molten symposium of carbohydrates and curds, an edible dissertation on the limitless possibilities of bread plus cheese. Should civilization ever collapse, I sincerely hope archaeologists uncover a surviving Melt sandwich so they may finally understand what humanity was truly striving toward. read more

Came here for a delicious lunch and The Melt did not disappoint! I was greeted by a friendly cashier ready to take my order. I originally was craving a tuna melt, but when I saw they had Impossible burgers, I changed my mind and ordered one. I also got a side of tomato bisque (comforting on a rainy day) and a fountain soda. The cheery cashier recommended mixing black cherry and orange soda, and it was refreshing! Highly recommend trying The Melt. They've got such a wide variety of sandwiches and burgers, you'll be sure to find one that satisfies your craving. read more

Met up with the bf here for lunch and almost made the mistake of going to the pho place before my better judgment led me to decide to check Yelp to make sure it was a prudent choice. Luckily, I caught myself and also looked at the pasta place before finding the Melt. I didn't want anything too heavy and opted for a cup of their tomato bisque with a side of garlic parmesan fries, while the bf ordered the Sicilian chicken sandwich per our cashier's suggestion and 2 strawberry lemonades. There was nary anyone there on a weekday before noon so it was quick service. There were fresh garlic and grated Parmesan on the fries and you could taste how fresh the ingredients are. The sandwich was perfect dipped in the bisque, french dip style and was the perfect portion for 2 without feeling super weighed down afterwards. would definitely come back here again for lunch. read more

The Melt burger is okay, but it's overpriced. The service was a mess. I understand it's a busy place, but I paid twice as much as In-N-Out and was treated impatiently. I won't be coming back. read more

Would definitely recommend, food is amazing... definitely one of my favorite spots at the Spectrum. Linda is wonderful as well and very helpful with great customer service read more

It's a pick up and go place or you can order from the kiosk and sit at one of their tables. I decided to do take out. There's seating both inside and outside. I ordered the Mac Daddy. with their Garlic Parmesan fries and Snickerdoodle shake. Very filling and It was the perfect comfort food for a late night eat. The Mac Daddy was a perfect blend of cheese and the bacon really came through. The Garlic Parmesan fries-couldn't really taste the garlic but the seasoning was still pretty good. The snickerdoodle shake was really good as well I took one star off because I ordered to go and the packing wasn't the best. They didn't put our fries into a container so they were mixed everywhere in the bag which was kind of disappointing. Otherwise, would come back! read more

Delicious burger + sweet potato fries. Will say that it is VERY filling, though, so come hungry! Definitely get your money's worth. Staff were friendly, even apologetic, because it took "a while" when it truly didn't take long at all. Fun, mall location. Make sure to stop in! read more

If you love S Tier Mac & Cheese you have to go try the Melt, and give them a shot because they have way better cheese than McDonald's. You order on an IPad so that's a quick plus if you want to do it the express way. My order was the Melty Mac with Bacon and it was fire, it tasted so good 100x better than Kraft Mac, so take that Kraft because The Melt Mac & Cheese is made with real ingredients, and tastes like it's made from scratch and has a nice crunchy outside, with a soft inside, which is needed when you want to get good Mac & Cheese. You have got to come here when you're at the Spectrum because it is the best place to get some really good quality cheesy things. read more

Very tasty with great vibes Great casual spot to grab a bite -- the burgers here hit the spot every time. The patty is juicy, the bun holds up well, and you can tell the ingredients are good quality. Outdoor seating by the trees makes it a nice place to chill, especially on a sunny day. Not fancy, but definitely solid food you'll want to come back for. read more

The food was so good! The service was amazing and very quick. Staff was very polite and helpful.

This is good comfort food served fast. If you like Mac and cheese and are at the Spectrum, this is the place to come. I had the melty Mac along with cheddar bacon fries and a chocolate shake. I loved the creamy deliciousness of the Mac and cheese. The fries were bomb too. The shake was thick and tasty. Service was very good too. read more

This is a great place to get a good quality burger or chicken sandwich in the Irvine Spectrum. The sandwiches are sizable but not too big, and they're generous with their portions of fries too. You can order both on the tablet or at the counter, and the cashiers are always friendly and chatty. There are plenty of places to sit both inside and out and makes for a great lunch spot for nearby workers. My go-to is their mushroom-swiss burger and that never disappoints. read more

Ommgg!! Super good melty deliciousness!! Irvine isn't that great when it comes to food for me. Everything just seems super generic sometimes. Really glad we found this place. I'm a lover of all things cheesy and this place hit the mark for me!! Mac Daddy is definitely a go to! Best of both worlds. Bacon sammy with the Mac and cheese inside! YUMM!! MELTBURGER is the best smash burger I've had in a long time. Definitely appreciate the flavors and that it stays warm and delicious when being delivered. Little tip: Order directly from their website and it's actually cheaper than the 3rd party delivery services! Will definitely order again and again! read more

The Melt - MELTBURGER MAC DADDY MELTY MAC - Sandwiches Near Me - Irvine, California

We came here pretty late from the bass pro shops down the street. The perfect review I can give it is "OK". You order through a kiosk, no biggie. Customer Service is very limited. Restroom was extremely dirty (lowkey grossed me out). Seating area was a little unkept as well. The food is okay. It's overpriced for what it is. It's not something I would ever go back for or crave but if I am at the Irvine Spectrum and am wanting a chicken sandwich, I would stop by but consider options heavily. Overall, it's overpriced fast food with small portions. read more

Antonio was an amazing server! So kind and helpful!!!! I would a 100% recommend to go to the melt and get the grilled cheese! It is amazing every time I come to the spectrum mall I get it and its the best!! read more

First time trying melt My Wife loves a patty melt so that's what we went with nice buttery toasted bread. The hamburger patty was fine. The only disappointing thing I opened my half of the sandwich and added some mustard and noticed I had no grilled onions. The whole sandwich was lacking, grilled onions, so the patty melt was just basic. We did enjoy the Parmesan garlic fries nice and crispy well seasoned next time we will try the Caesar salad and a different sandwich.. read more

The good, the chicken sandwich. Crunchy, fresh, thick, juicy. Fresh crisp jalapeños, the bun I cannot guarantee was as fresh as it should be. The sauce was a seven out of 10. Super hefty price, almost twice Chick-fil-A. It's 7.5 out of 10 in quality and taste, but when you baseline the price, it's more like a five. Additionally, the fresh brewed iced tea, definitely a nine out of 10. You get a pickle with your sandwich. I was handed something that looked like it had sat out of the brine for a day or two or maybe he was in the freezer, I asked for a fresh pickle and got something crunchy and beautiful. The less than good. The cleanliness. OMG. The touchscreen ordering is disgusting. Splotches of grease. The surfaces and floors, and it was only a Wednesday and the kids were back in school so not summertime. Pretty appalling. I do have to support the business as they have a gentleman who has a disability working and he was awesome and helpful and courteous and kind. First time trying, likely will not return. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get a quick meal at the Spectrum. It's located in food court row by Dave & Busters, and there's easy parking nearby in the main parking structure. My favorite is probably the Mac Daddy sandwich. Mac n cheese, bacon, on a grilled cheese! I had them add raw onion, and changed the bread to the spicy garlic bread, so good! They offer order kiosks, and these make it easy to customize your options on your meal. They also text you when your order is ready, and they have a frequent buyer program. read more

Super yummy grilled cheese! Hit the spot on a nice Sunday afternoon. Staff were quick and friendly, I like the way they have order kiosks, buzzers, and a screen with your order to see when it's ready. Wish there was more chicken, but for less than $10 this was a wonderful find. Will be back! read more
