    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.

    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.

    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

    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 melt

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Kira C.

    Amazing food, great service! Visited here a few times, and crave it each time I leave. The chicken bacon Mac and cheese is my absolute favorite! Great portion sizes! The regular fries are delicious the seasoning they add brings it all together. The burger and chicken sandwich are just as good too. All in all great place. Very spacious and clean. Food is always hot and fresh and comes out quick. Safe to say I will keep coming back.

You order first and then find a seat, so it's a little bit of a shuffle, but the woman behind the counter was genuinely helpful with recommendations and what's popular. And once we ordered, the food came out pretty fast. We kicked things off with the Big Dill appetizer, and when they say "giant," they're not kidding. It's a comically large pickle, seasoned up and cut into four spears. The seasoning was actually really good, nice flavor, the right amount of spice. I'll be honest: I'm not a huge pickle person, so I didn't fall in love... but if you are a pickle person, this is absolutely your moment. I tried the brunch burrito and it was a solid portion, filling, well-built, and the avocado salsa helped a lot (I was using it like a cheat code). The only reason I wouldn't come back specifically for that burrito is the flavors didn't really pop for me, and I wished the potatoes had more crisp and there was more seasoning on the eggs. It wasn't bad at all just not a "I'm still thinking about this tomorrow" type of burrito. The drinks though? Really unique, I had the French toast latte and the banana hazelnut latte, and they serve them in this super cool commercial can sealer setup. It's such a clever touch as if your coffee came with packaging confidence. Better yet, the lattes were actually delicious and you could taste the quality of the beans underneath the flavors. We also tried the Philly cheesesteak, and it's a BIG sandwich on what tastes like a homemade sesame hoagie. The "shaved ribeye" looked more like finely chopped/ground ribeye, but honestly... it worked. It tasted great with the cheese sauce and hit the spot. The fries that came with it were steak fries, cooked to perfection, with a few extra-crispy pieces mixed in (which is basically the fry jackpot). And then there was the avocado + burrata bagel... which might be the best bagel I've ever had and I don't say that lightly. The everything bagel was fresh, toasted perfectly, and the toppings blended together so well that every bite somehow got better than the last. I also tried the lox and it was worth the money, generous smoked salmon, capers, tomato, the whole deal. Bottom line: there's a lot to love here, and it's going to take me a few more visits to work through all the menu items that look worth trying. Come hungry, expect a line at peak brunch, and don't leave without that avocado burrata bagel (and maybe one of those sealed lattes, because it's just fun).

From the outside, the place doesn't look like much, tucked away in a small shopping center. Once inside, there are a plentiful number of tables in the smallish restaurant, which does not feel at all cramped. It is tastefully decorated, and you order at a counter, and they will either call you to get your food or bring it out to you. On the day we were there, the owner was behind the counter and took our order. He asked if we had been there before, and since I had not, he took the time to explain the menu to me. They focus nearly exclusively on chicken tenders, and we opted to share The Three Tenders, which comes with...you guessed it...three chicken tenders (with your choice of heat level), three warmed tortillas, pickles, and alley sauce (the house dipping sauce) on the side. We added sides of French fries and Cole slaw, and the owner gave me a free fountain drink since it was my first time there. So nice! We grabbed a high-top table, and once the food came out, and I bit into the first tender, I knew I was eating the best chicken tenders I have ever eaten. Seriously. These are awesome and at a decent price, too. The tenders are very large and perfectly breaded. The spiciness matches the heat level you choose--not to little and not too much. No mushy tempura batter here either. And the house dipping sauce was perfectly suited to the tenders. The fries and slaw were great, too. If you like chicken tenders, you won't regret trying Hot Chicken Alley!

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.
