    MINI MAC & GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES
    Haneen O.

    I'd heard about this place when I was at Salt & Straw in Tempe a few months ago. They have a location near there and closer to me in the formerly PV mall area. I was in the mood for cheesy goodness so I checked out their menu. If you sign up for their rewards program, you get free fries. So I signed up! I also got their side of mac & cheese since I wasn't in the mood for a full portion. I ordered online and drove over. I found parking in front of the restaurant and headed inside. Only a few people dining inside with plenty of seating. I picked up my order from the register and headed home. I ordered their garlic Parmesan fries and they were tasty. Topped with their Melt sauce, Parmesan cheese and garlic, it was flavorful but almost too much. Very salty which I usually appreciate but I ended up mixing in the leftover topping to my pasta. The mac & cheese was cheesy and good, it hit the spot. Their menu offers burgers, sandwiches, and other items that look interesting. I'd be down to try this spot again.

    BBQ BACON MELTBURGER
    Jen B.

    When I walked in I was greeted by a very friendly lady who later told me she was the manager. She gave us a few suggestions of what to order the menu. Because it was our first time she even gave us two drinks on the house. I rarely drink anything but water, but they had Alameda cane sugar soda and I had a cola. I got a patty melt and my husband got the bbq bacon burger. They were both good, but the patty melt was better with the grilled onions and the toast. The bbq bacon burger was good as well. The fries were tasty as well. Overall I will be back and maybe try a cheesesteak or the Mac and cheese next time. This is a fast casual restaurant where you order either at the counter or from the self-service kiosks.

    ORIGINAL CHICKEN MELT

    Came by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. This place was rather busy with a few open tables left. Went overboard with building my burger on the order kiosk. Paid and grabbed a number. Orders came out in decent time and looked good. Couldn't grab pictures quick enough before everyone dug in. Overall, a good choice if you want a quick and tasty burger. Fries were not too bad either. Staff were extremely friendly and were quick to grab condiments that we forgot. Enjoyed our meal here.

    Spicy IMPOSSIBLE SWISS & SHROOM

    I got the spicy impossible, IMPOSSIBLE MELTBURGER honestly, this is the best vegan food I have ever had! My kids loved it, and I loved it. Whoever the young lady was working there last night was an absolute angel. She was extremely friendly with my children and even gave us goodies for our first experience she made it the best experience! I usually don't tip when I order out a machine, but I cannot help but to tip her if I had cash, I would've gave it to her directly! Don't lose that girl! Can't wait to take my husband and family back husband Has not tried it yet, but he is going to love it! The place was absolutely clean and beautiful as well! Located in the perfect place!

    Not even the rawest part of the burger..

    Came in for a quick bite.. I got the patty melt - which honestly would have been great if it was cooked. I eat beef carpaccio but I can't do raw hamburger meat. The place was slammed with door dash orders of course so quality was a tad out the door. The owner seemed to be here - but not a hands on moment.. The fries were delicious - the Mac and cheese were okay and the chicken sandwich was fine too. I definitely come back and get the patty melt and hope it's cooked correctly.

    Spicy burger
    Wil L.

    The Melt is a perfect neighborhood place. The burgers are incredible and definitely messy in the best way possible. Chicken sandwich was a little dry but not as good as the burgers. I had the spicy double and lived it with the fresh jalapeños. The fries were not as crispy and topped with some green herbs. Not sure I enjoyed it with the herbs. The sodas were perfect craft sodas and not your typical Coke or Pepsi. I would've given the place a 5 stars but I saw an employee take the quarter sheet pans in which the burgers were placed from the garbage drop off area and just wiped the surface and put back into inventory for new customers. The sheet pans weren't even put through the dishwasher for cleaning and sanitizing. I'm not so sure this is regular practice but someone needs to evaluate the cleaning process before a diner gets sick.

    DOUBLE MELTBURGER with their atomic hot sauce
    Colton G.

    Very solid burger spot, loved the taste of my double melt burger, I'd certainly come back. That said, though I enjoyed the wall art and the customization aspect of the self-serve kiosk, this place didn't have any music or unique atmosphere. Just kind of felt like Shake Shack to me but with better burgers and fresher ingredients. But that's okay. I'd still much rather eat a burger here than Burger King. This place definitely has a lot of solid menu items I'd like to come back and explore.

    Double melt
    Sue H.

    Our family visited the Tatum Blvd store on 12/24 for lunch. This is a walk up order at the counter place with buzzing coasters when your older is ready to pick up. Orders were accurately recorded by the cashier, who was very patient with the five of us and several special requests. But kitchen accuracy missed the mark, and two of our five burgers were missing ingredients. We did not ask for the missing ingredients, just ate our burgers anyway. We ordered one double melt, one double BBQ melt, two single spicy missions and a single original melt with four sides and two drinks for $88. Trays with burgers had mixed up side dishes but we figured it out. One Spicy Mission burger was lettuce wrapped by request, but a single thin leaf didn't hold up well to this juicy patty. And they are thick third pound patties, I didn't need a double and my giant sons had trouble finishing their doubles. Burgers tasted awesome, pink juicy and well seasoned. Lots of cheese, gooey and drippy. The sweet potato fries were very good, although I will hold the unexpected cinnamon sugar next time since I dip them in ranch. Ranch dressing was homemade and excellent. Mini Mac and cheese was a big hit with college son. Regular fries were devoured but still need to try to Parmesan ones! I think the regular fries have just salt and parsley on them, not any flavoring. Not sure why I tipped 15% on our $87.88 bill, because we picked up our own food and bussed our own table. If I thought the tip was to ensure an accurate order, it failed. This is not a bargain place but the meat and ingredients are very good quality. The filtered water at the soda dispenser was even good! A team member brought us a cookie, cut in four (we are a party of five but I am gf) which was nice. Bathroom floor is surprisingly dirty for a new restaurant. Otherwise the restaurant seemed clean and neat. We really prefer to give our business to the sole proprietors in the valley, but the Instagram ads for The Melt drew us in!

    ORIGINAL CHICKEN MELT

    Was looking for a change up for lunch while on work and found this restaurant ! It all looks very yummy !! I got chicken burger with their sauce and fries and a strawberry lemonade and it was actually pretty good!! The restaurant is cute and I honestly love that there is a self check out for your order! Staff was nice as well!! Only reason for giving 4 stars is the burger was very messy they had put sauce on both ends of the burger and it could barely keep together. I would go again I'll just make sure to add a note of preference ! :)

    MELTY MAC
    Vicky C.

    Great location! If you are looking for some comfort food this is your place, thank me later :) Cute restaurant, fast service, plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. My favorite is the classic Melt burger, I made it a double and added grilled onions with a side of Parmesan fries. I was in cheesy goodness heaven! Their melty Mac is good and cheesy but lacks a little salt. I didn't get a picture of the snickerdoodle milkshake because I couldn't stop drinking it lol whoops! Definitely a favorite hopefully it's permanent on the menu! *My favorite burger spot in PV*

    Italian job, tomato soup, and garlic parm fries
    Ali B.

    Nothing like a solid grilled cheese and tomato soup. And I love when a grilled cheese has some yummy fresh veggies on it! We ordered online and it was ready in minutes but we dined in (we were just really hungry). Perfect fast casual spot. Parking is funky but we just parked in front of Whole Foods and walked a bit. For food we also got tomato soup, Mac n cheese, I got garlic Parmesan fries, my husband got regular fries and a bacon cheeseburger (no onions or bbq sauce). The food was delicious. I added jalepenos and tomatoes to mine plus the seasoning and it totally added. Amazing dipped in the soup. And loved how the toast was garlic toast as well. My husband said his burger was really good though he wished the bacon was crispier. We got a ton of food for a reasonable price so would definitely recommend and come back when we're wanting a big yummy meal! Glad we came here!

    The CLASSIC CRISPY CHICKEN
    Joel K.

    Great service by the team and recommendations for our first time. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu. So many good choices it was hard to pick just one. Very clean inside and a great dining experience. They have Alameda Soda that made for a great treat and something different to try.

    I didn't know what this place was going to be like but the neighborhood that it's in is very high scale. When I went in I found that the manager was quite friendly and personable. I had never eaten at this place but he gave me recommendations and was very helpful. The place was very clean and people in the restaurant seemed happy and enjoying their food. I had the bacon cheeseburger and french fries and it was amazing! The manager is so helpful also that he came over and knew it was my first time and gave me a warm chocolate chip cookie on the house. I had mentioned that I was looking at one of their famous shakes and he's like yeah let me get that started for you. At that point I went up to pay for it and he says nope this is on me! One of the most welcoming satisfying experiences that I've had in a restaurant in a long time. I would highly recommend this location, this food in this location, and the staff!

We took the family here last night and it was so good. Everything was made to perfection, crispy and tender chicken with al the needed condiments. Hot take, but I loved the tender with the tortilla, it was just easy to eat and less messy than the slider. What I really appreciated was the service! The gentleman behind the counter offered for us to try different spice seasoning before we ordered, asked us if we wanted to remove any seasoning for the kiddos, and told us complimentary ice cream and cheese sauce! He was so mindful of the kids and walked us through any questions we had. It was a great experience and I hope everyone can try it out!

The first thing that stands out is the massive, beautifully maintained outdoor seating area. It's covered, pet-friendly, and thoughtfully designed with fireplaces and privacy walls that give each table a more intimate feel. There's even an outdoor bar where you can grab a drink while you wait or just enjoy the atmosphere. Inside, the décor is incredibly creative. Butcher knives and custom cutting boards line the walls, and the open kitchen showcases hanging meats so you can see everything in action. The bakery area adds another layer of charm, with rolling pins and whisks hanging from the ceiling, it all feels intentional and immersive without being over the top. The menu is just as fun and different as the space itself. I started with the Sicilian wedge and then had to go for what they're known for, the handcrafted meatballs. You can mix and match meatballs with different pastas, but the real showstopper is the "meatball carousel." It lets you sample multiple meatballs with their recommended sauces, all presented on an elaborate Ferris wheel-style display that turns heads across the restaurant. It's a full experience, not just a meal. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. What truly made the night, though, was our server, Mia. She struck that perfect balance of fun and professional, engaging, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. She guided us through the menu, made great recommendations, and brought a level of energy that elevated the entire experience. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows. For dessert, we went with the traditional Sicilian cannoli stuffed with Nutella and a lemon tart that was so good I'd honestly consider flying back just to have it again. This place delivers on every level, atmosphere, creativity, food, and service. I'll absolutely be making this a regular stop anytime I'm in Phoenix.

It caught our eyes before we even looked at the menu! It took a lot of willpower not to start with the sweets, but it definitely gave us something to look forward to at the end of the meal. The Spread We sampled a variety of dishes, and there wasn't a single miss: Baba Ghanouj: A total "must-get." It was incredibly fresh and perfectly smoky. Falafel Salad: The falafel was impressively crispy--easily a table favorite. Beef Shawarma Wrap: Do yourself a favor and get this with the fries. The fries were golden and rounded out the wrap perfectly. #15 Chicken Tikka Plate: A very generous portion size and packed with flavor. Delicious! The Grand Finale: Baklava At $14.99/lb, the baklava selection is massive. We had a hard time choosing, but the "nest" variety was the standout winner. I'm already planning my next visit. If you're in the area and want authentic flavors in a beautiful, roomy setting, don't walk--run! Can't wait to go back. Go support this small family business! :D
