I stopped by The Melt and it was honestly really good. The food was hot, cheesy, and super satisfying, exactly what you want from a place like this. What really made it stand out though was Timothy. He was friendly, checked in on us, and made the whole experience feel welcoming. That kind of service makes a big difference. Definitely coming back read more

Tasty food open late at night! Definitely recommend if you find yourself in the area!

Monday May 25th @ 8pm Maybe it was an off night. Maybe it's better in person. Maybe it doesn't matter what the situation is, the outcome still might be the same? Who knows! What I do know is that I had been eyeing this place for a while and we finally tried it tonight. 5 different orders and not one person was impressed. We ordered online and as soon as we placed the order we left to go get it since it's only 10 minutes away. When we walked in our order was bagged and ready to go so that was the most positive part. Or so it seemed... Upon returning home we get into the bag take everything out and everything is cold. How is food that was made 10 min ago this cold? I mean everything was cold. The fries the burgers the chicken sandwich (that was lukewarm) EVERYTHING. We had to take turns between the air fryer and microwave heating our food up I had the fried chicken sandwich with 0 flavor and the breading was awful. The breading fell off after the first bite and by the 2nd bite the sandwich disintegrated. Shit was all over the place. Way too soggy! Mine wasn't the only one. Everyone else's burgers fell apart were way too soggy and they all had wilted lettuce on them. Again how is food that was supposedly made 10 min this cold and this soggy? Seems like a nice place to eat at as it's in a good area and the establishment itself is as nice but the food sucks. I hate giving 1 star reviews however I only do it when it's absolutely necessary. read more

I visited The Melt in Sacramento, CA [2070 Fair Oaks Blvd] on Friday, 04/17/26, around 9 PM. For dinner, I proceeded to get the following: * Original MeltBurger - Double Patty with cheddar, pickle-jalapeño mix, and Melt sauce * Steak Fajita Mac * Tomato Soup The best thing that I've tried was the Tomato Soup. It was extremely flavorful and very forward with the tomato flavor. The Steak Fajita Mac was cheesy and tasty as well. The meat, bell peppers, and jalapeños truly enhanced the overall taste of the dish. The big letdown, unfortunately, was the MeltBurger. Whereas I enjoyed the melty cheddar cheese, pickle-jalapeño mix, and melt sauce to complement the burger, the burger patties were super bland and flavorless. The patties needed some love with seasoning, even if it was just something simple like pepper and salt. The experience of the burger just did not meet expectations in that avenue. I paired the burger with ketchup, and this condiment was the saving grace. The inside of the restaurant had modern decor and was clean. The staff members were helpful and amiable when interacting with customers. The Melt even offered a loyalty program to receive free or discounted items when dining here frequently. I'm giving this restaurant 3/5 stars. The 2 stars were knocked down due to the unsatisfactory, underwhelming cookery of the bland burger patties. I'd still visit this restaurant in the future. I may try other food items or even get the Tomato Soup and Steak Fajita Mac again. read more

Overall, after two visits, we really like the grilled cheese sandwiches the best. Each time, we get tempted to order the burger, the bun disappoints, being too dry (but the pictures make it look SOOOO good). Fries are solid and so is the mac and cheese dishes. read more

Whenever you are craving cheese, especially yummy, gooey cheese, look no further than The Melt. This restaurant is very clean. The customer service is good. There's plenty of places indoors to sit. There's a shared parking lot where you can park. You can order at your convenience with a person working or at a kiosk. I like the chicken from here. There's some spice levels so beware of that. This place definitely has some comfort food vibes and feels. I do suggest that you check it out. read more

Stopped in here to grab the three cheese classic sandwich for lunch. It wasn't busy at all. The Grilled cheese was really good. Loved the buttery sourdough & cheesiness. I ordered from my app as I was using a reward & couldn't find how to apply the reward when ordering from the kiosk. Nice place but parking & the entrance is interesting. Parking can be challenging. They have a nice outdoor seating area & plenty of seating inside. read more

Vic was super friendly and gave us a sample of a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie, it was delicious! My favorite was the Patty melt, one of the best I've ever had. We loved the burgers, loaded fries and mac n cheese, too. I can't wait to come back, everyone loved this place! read more

I found this by searching for the best fast food in Sacramento but it really isn't as it is a sit down place. The food was awesome. I had the Italian Job and garlic fries chased down with a thick and creamy shake. My wife had the Mac Daddy and her face when she bit into it was pure joy. Timothy provided excellent service. I would highly recommend stepping up to the counter for recommendations rather than use the self service kiosks. We will be back! read more

I was in town for a conference and craved burgers. Found this place and was so happy I found it. Basically next door to Sac State. Lots of seating and the atmosphere was low key. Facilities was clean. Staff was professional. Service was fast. Parking was available and plentiful. Ordered their bacon cheeseburger with a side of fries and a drink. Burger was delicious...tasty and juicy. Fries were crunchy and flavorful. Definitely will be back. read more

Ok I know giving 5 stars is wild and typically for like Michelin star locations but wow this place blew my mind! I got the double cheese burger and the double bbq bacon burger and holy moly these were HUGE!! Like 5 pounds of burger per burger and it was DELIcious! I also got the Mac n Cheese with breadcrumb topping which was heavenly. Perfect creaminess and perfect portion. I also go the sweet potato fries and their house friends. Both were amazing. I'm incredibly impressed at the cost of the food, the taste of the food and the SIZE of the food. 10/10 will be telling others to come here. read more

I want to compliment the servers and cooks. They make eye contact and smile and speak, and I also really like the menu and atmosphere. My husband is very picky and complained to me about the temperature of his sandwich so I asked them to remake it and they cheerfully did so, it came out steaming. They also gave him a ten dollar discount for the next visit. I brought a Mac n cheese home for my mom and she loved it. They have some impressive Mac n cheese dishes. read more

After driving my sister to an appointment, I spotted The Melt, which stood out in a good way. When I looked them up and saw they had burgers. After her appointment, that's exactly what we were in the mood to have! As we popped in, we looked around and felt less pressure looking at the menu on the kiosk. Since I had already looked it up, we knew what we wanted. I ordered a double melt burger and my sister ordered the original melt burger and added an egg. We shared garlic fries and a side of their melted mac and added bread crumbs. Neither of us like pickles so we didn't want those with our burgers (it comes in the side.) We picked up a buzzer which allows us to know our meal is done so that we can pick up to at the front. Customer service right away was top notch! I went to the register and talked with Timothy. He showed me where the drinks were and there are water cups out and that's what we got because that's what I love to drink! While we waited for our food to finish, I walked around and looked at the decor. Some of it was some history on The Melt, Central Pacific Railroad, Sacramento State college in 1949... the history on the walls is fun to check out and much easier since there weren't so many people. As you can see, I was eating with my eyes. My double Melt Burger was enormous. Also, you can see where I mentioned we didn't want the pickle on the side... and there it was on our tray. However, presentation was spot on! I enjoyed talking to Timothy. Thank you for grabbing us napkins!!! He showed us above and beyond customer service!! As for the taste- The burger was not that good. The flavor just was not there. There was not any char flavor. It was just a big ol gorgeous looking burger. I'm guessing these were frozen patties. The garlic fries and melty mac were delicious. I would get those again. My sisters egg looks like it was cooked in a dirty pan. Definitely the ugliest egg on a burger I have ever seen. It was cooked good but isn't an egg white...? My sister and I took half our burgers home (after adding salt, pepper and garlic powder at home, it tasted so much better!) I'm not a fan of frozen patties... especially worth zero seasoning. There was salt and pepper available, but this burger lacked more than just salt. If lacked flavor of a fresh cooked burger. 5/5 on customer service. Timothy was amazing! 2/5 for the burger. At least it came out hot and gorgeous... I would absolutely come back for the mac & cheese...Absolutely not this burger! read more

The melt is comfort food! Yes, their burgers are really tasty! I love that they're well seasoned, the cheese is melting, and literally bite after bite, it's deliciously yummy. It's a nice size burger that sure to please every appetite. Well, I really enjoy a good burger, and they're not as easily found as one would expect, this is my go to place and the secret sauce to why you should visit. It's the mac & cheese. I know! Something that might be unexpected, but also something That meets those expectations and beyond. Did you ever want that melted cheese goodness in every bite? The melt has that mac & cheese! I always request my order to be cheesy because I want that. cheesy goodness in every bite. It's been perfect every time. In fact, this is one of the few places that offer offers mac & cheese in addition to french fries, and salads. Again, not something that you would necessarily expect, but it's such a game changer. By the way, their fries are pretty tasty. I like that you order at the counter, or you can order at one of the essentially located kiosk when you walk in. I'm a counter girl. You place the order, go grab a seat, and they'll call your number. Grab your food and get your grub on! If you're looking for a new burger joint, you absolutely should try the melt. Looking to get your mac & cheese craving on, you should try the melt! read more

Okay so burgers & fries.. not always my first choice but after trying this place ONCE I have been thinking about it nonstop. I was not expecting the food to be SO GOOD. The garlic fries are so yummy. And the burger itself was drool-worthy. The workers are kind and helpful to any questions and you can also order on a kiosk if you prefer that. Inside is clean and comfortable enough to want to sit inside and eat. Parking can be tough but it's worth it lol. 5-stars for sure. Brb thinking about the fries. read more

Absolutely phenomenal. Great food and great service! Timothy was super helpful and even came around with some cookie for the kids. I split the spicy crispy chicken and shroom and Swiss burger and they were both so good. For the price, you get a great bang for your buck! The shroom and Swiss burger was huge! It was double, so it was really but, but the chicken was also a great size and not super expensive! Definitely going to be coming back here read more

Love the addition of Melt to this area and the space is so nice and welcoming. I love the way they decorate the restaurant and the menu definitely speaks to me as someone who loves grilled cheese, burgers, and sandwiches. I've gotten food at this location a few times now and the service isn't always consistent. They do have kiosks but also have a counter that you can order from up front. As someone who is happy to do either it'd be nice to have more direction one way or the other. When I've stopped in I haven't always been greeted, and it would be cool to right away have someone say "Welcome in, feel free to order at the kiosk or with me". I like getting the grilled cheese and tomato soup, the patty melt, or some mac and cheese when I stop in. I was very happy with my food each time I visited and when I dined in I did have a staff member check in on me and ask how the food was. Would definitely recommend trying it out if you haven't already. read more

Just discovered The Melt! Loved the decor! As you walk in there is a kiosk you can order from or the counter. We decided to do the kiosk and it was fast and user friendly. We paid and headed to the counter for our cup to grab our drink. The soda said all natural ingredients. The seating area is inviting a spacious... plenty of seating even outdoors in the patio area. We didn't wait too long. Your buzzer goes off and you go grab your food. We ordered the grilled chicken swiss and mushrooms, bbq burger and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was gooey, cheesy and the breaded topping was crunch and tasty with each bite. The grilled chicken Swiss mushroom was juicy and first and half way into the burger it was dry. The bbq burger was juicy, lots of bbq sauce and cheesy! Overall it was a great experience and I'll have to come back and try their shakes and other sandwiches. read more

If you're wanting comfort food, this is the spot! How can you go wrong with cheese?!? Everything we tried was flavorful, indulgent, and perfectly satisfying. The vibe and decorations are cute and casual, with simple décor that feels welcoming and relaxed. The place was clean, the staff is friendly 10/10, and the fact that they're open late is a BIG plus. Perfect for a late-night craving, or just treating yourself to something cheesy and deliciously indulgent. Highly recommend! Monday-Tuesday: 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight)!!! read more

It's a nice hamburger, but the value proposition isn't that great. I understand this place is straddling between a formal dine-in experience compared to a casual experience. It is basically an alternative version of Shake Shack. However, shake shack despite it's similar prices often have coupons which drop the prices significantly. The hamburger is fine, and taste better than most places. However, once a hamburger crosses into a double digit prices with no fries, it enters into a very competitive market. Where, the brioche buns better have a smooth buttery taste. The brioche wasn't stale, but the richness wasn't there. The amount of mushrooms was a bit anemic for the price. Regardless, not a bad experience, just pricey for what you get. read more

Well, this is going to one of my new spots for burgers. This is the first time I came here and I was not disappointed. The Melt Restaurant is well lit and you can choose to order yourself on the kiosk or you can place your order at the counter. My son and I decided to place our order at the kiosk.However Remy was so helpful. She helped with water cups as well getting our receipts so that I could get started on the rewards program. There is plenty of seating, condiments and food choices. They have hamburgers, chicken burgers, impossible burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. I opted for a Double BBQ Melt Burger and fries. My son had a Double Melt Burger. The burgers are big and I was only able to half! The music that was playing was upbeat and the restaurant clean. I look forward to trying some different on the menu next time! read more

First off, Timothy should be the MVP of this place. As we were talking about the initial service ordering where the guy seemed impatient and not really a people's person, Timothy overheard and interjected his apologies. He asked is there anything he could do, but it wasn't his fault. He had a positive personality that should be used when dealing with the public. As for the food, the BBQ bacon cheese burger was delicious. The BBQ with the crispy onion strings gave it a zesty taste. I also had a grilled cheeses that was good. The toasted butter bread gave it a little bit of flavor. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Mac n cheese was not what we thought it would be. It was a cheeses sauce and not the melted cheese throughout like for Thanksgiving. The drinks are one size. They had Black Cherry which you don't see at many places. 5 stars for good food and good customer service (Timothy). He should get recognized because how people are treated is what makes customers loyal to a business. read more

Visited The Melt for the first time today to have lunch with my family. They have plenty of options available, our food came out quicker than expected while still being hot and fresh. I ate the garlic chicken mac and LOVED it. The outdoor seating had plenty of shade during this time of day (about 11-11:30am). Remi (or Remy), had exceptional customer service! She went above and beyond to move a table for my family to sit together comfortably, grab us extra dipping sauces, offering to take our picture and bringing my husband and I a small sweet treat to say Happy Anniversary. I highly recommend visiting for great food and even better service. I will definitely be returning. Thank you Remi! read more

Best Burger I have eaten in Sac. Hamburger was cooked medium well. It was soft, tender, flavorful. It had avocado and melted cheese which is a perfect combination. The chicken was moist and juicy with a crunchy coating. As we were finishing, Remi came by an offer a piece of chocolate chip . I can eat a chocolate chip cookie at any time. Tim was a great host, too. read more

Had a great experience at The Melt! The staff were all very attentive and frequently walking around the dining area to check on customers and ensure it was clean. Food was good! We tried the double bbq bacon burger 10/10 - Greasy, cheesy, meaty and super flavorful! The garlic Parmesan fries reminded me of being at a baseball game - tons of fresh chopped garlic and the flavor stuck with us all day long. No vampires in sight haha But the Crispy Chicken was 6/10- a bit plain. Could have used more sauce and seasoning. Next time I'll try a different chicken option. Inside, the decor was really cool! Lots of historical artwork and maps. The vibe of the place is all about Sacramento and I love that! What was even better was the free warm cookie samples delivered to our table! We will for sure be back soon! read more

As soon as I took my first bite, it made sense where this place gets its name from. I love when a burger finds the perfect balance between melted goodness and neat layering. I noticed that balance during both of my visits (one for spicy mission, one for swish & mushroom). I also enjoyed the garlic parmesan fries a lot. They put a generous amount of seasoning on it which is a-okay with me. The combo comes out to about $18 pre-tip -- pretty reasonable in Sacramento. In such a saturated and competitive market, burgers require attention to culinary detail in order to stand out. The meltburger has no issue putting its own unique spin on things. It's also open until midnight, an uncommon feature for most restaurants in the Arden-Arcade area beside generic chains. I'm glad to have this spot nearby for late night guilty pleasures! read more
