    GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES w/ AVOCADO BACON CHEESE MELT
    Michael C.

    Didn't know what to expect. I ended up ordering Parmesan garlic fries with an avocado bacon melt... ERMEHRGERD! It was Off-Da-Hook! I don't know what I was expecting, but This was Great! Amazing food! Great Service! Nice vibes! I'll be back for sure!

    The Melt (Sacramento, CA): Interior
    Savannah R.

    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.

    First time here. Down the street from where i went to college at sac state. Emma was a highlight! Super helpful & friendly! Original double cheeseburger all the fixings and fries were a delight! Tons of flavor, decent sized portions! Clean dine-in and bathrooms. Patio area was cool too definitely will be back!!!

    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.

    Garlic Parmesan fries
    Kristi M.

    Fast, lots of choices and yummy. Garlic Parmesan fries were perfect. We all finished our meals. Sat on the clean patio. Bathrooms were locked and took a bit to get staff to check on that.

    We walked in at around 10ish and not busy It was very quit The counter was not busy and the had self check out too We use the self check out. Our food was good and fresh salads and very clean and super nice We were all hungry and happy after

    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.

    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!

    Eight of us went on mother's day everyone loved their food . we got the mac n cheese, the tomato soup, the mission hot hamburger, the hot chicken sandwich, etc ! lots of room inside and patio , the only thing i didn't like was the young man brought some cookie samples, we had 2 tables, the 4 adults he gave samples to , but our table had 2 kids and 2 grandparents, nothing???

    Anniversary lunch!!

    I had the best experience today at The Melt. The food was delicious. But what impressed me the most was the service! Remi, the young lady who helped us was just amazing!! I truly want to get a huge shout out to her from all that she did for my family! She deserves a huge raise and definitely bring a certain A+ quality to the establishment! Thank you Remi! the outdoor patio definitely was a very nice place to enjoy our meal.

    Italian Job and garlic fries.
    R B.

    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!

    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.

    Patrick R.

    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.

    This is the second time we have been to Jacks. The first time was in Midtown. This location is…read morebigger and has more seating. It is a counter order style restaurant. When we walked up to the counter we were greeted by the cashier and we were asked if we had any questions. We did not and so we placed our order and paid and was given a number for our table. The fries came out first and we were looking forward to them but sadly they were lukewarm and soft. I wished they were hotter and more crunchy. I had the Blackened Salmon Cobb salad and it was so refreshing and delicious. You cant tell from the photo but the salad did have avocado, blue cheese, tomato, egg, grilled corn, pickled radish, green onion, and lemon-herb vinaigrette. It was at the bottom of the bowl which kind of made it hard to mix. I wish it was on top of the romaine. My husband said the tri tip was good. The bread was fresh and the meat was perfectly flavored!

    I've eaten at Jack's Urban Eats before, but this experience completely ruined it for me…read more I found a piece of plastic in my mac & cheese. Not hair. Not something questionable. Actual plastic. That alone is bad enough, but the customer service somehow made it worse. Before I even went back to the store to ask for a refund, I called several times and was put on hold for a very long time, with no one actually helping me. That should've been my first red flag. When I did go back in person, all they could offer was a refund--no genuine apology, no concern, no effort to make it right. Finding plastic in your food is a serious issue, and they treated it like I was just unhappy with the taste. Between the plastic in my food, the long hold times, and the complete lack of customer service, I won't be coming back. Mistakes happen, but how you handle them matters--and Jack's completely dropped the ball.

Now with only two people taking orders and making drinks during the lunch rush, the line and wait times are much longer. We ordered pizza and fries and I could see them sitting by the kitchen for about 10 minutes before they were brought to us, so they arrived barely warm. I also ordered two sides of their house-made ranch (which cost extra) but only received one. When I asked a server about the second ranch I had already paid for, she brushed me off with attitude. I had to ask multiple times and wait another 10+ minutes just to get something we were already charged for. Overall the service felt disorganized and slow. Unfortunately I won't be returning to this location anytime soon.

The waiters waitresses and bust people are on it. Dishes don't pile up on tables.
