    Yup
    Dave F.

    Yesterday I did a Yelp search of Burgers in the Arden-Arcade area in Sacramento. I landed on The Melt. I have never been and decided yesterday was the day. Parking was super easy. Upon entering the establishment, I was really impressed by the overall vibe of the place. It is super clean. I also appreciated that the kitchen is viewable and you can watch as they prepare your food. I also liked the patio they have for nice days, it looks comfortable. I ordered the Double Spicy Mission Melt Burger. It consisted of 2/3 lbs. total of Angus & Wagyu beef, chopped and grilled with 2 slices of Pepper jack, jalapeños, avocado, lettuce, spicy Melt sauce on an Artisan bun. I also ordered regular fries. WOW!! The burger was super huge!! It was cooked to a perfect Medium which I prefer. It tasted so good. All ingredients are clean. No artificial colors, HFC, or preservatives. Pure heaven!! The fries were perfectly cooked and coated with a really tasty seasoning. And the size of the order of fries was crazy huge!!! Worth mentioning is their Ranch Dressing is very creamy and delicious. Oh, the pickles. How could I forget to mention that they give you a whole pickle cut in half to accompany your Burger? Yum. I enjoyed every bite I could muster to eat. I was super full and was unable to finish eating everything. Pro Tip 1 - It is their 15th Anniversary and they are offering a free shake if you give the password/code "Heartshake" through Sunday 8/I6/26. I went with the Snickerdoodle Shake. So thick and creamy. Very indulgent and a very good choice. The manager was really nice and her service was top notch. Thank you!! I highly recommend trying this place out if you haven't already done so - 5*

    DOUBLE BBQ BACON MELTBURGER
    Raheem A.

    After an adventurous month in South Africa, my wife and I were craving our routine of having homemade meals- hence the hiatus that I took from trying new restaurants and Yelping. When we decided to step back onto the scene, we wanted to make sure that it was something that would knock our socks off...The Melt did exactly that! Since the establishment is located roughly 30 minutes from our home, we decided to have our order delivered via DoorDash. My wife and often share similar tastes, so we both opted for the Double BBQ Bacon MeltBurger. I ordered the garlic parmesan fries, while my wife chose the cheddar bacon ranch fries. The garlic parmesan fries were good...but my wife's bacon ranch fries were delicious (I stole a couple while she wasn't looking)! On to the main event....the burger...my gawd it's been quite awhile since I have had such a memorable burger. From the bun to the meats to the cheese, it was well worth it. I have The Melt bookmarked within my Yelp profile and am already looking forward to a future opportunity to revisit their menu!

    Patty Melt perfection
    Geneva L.

    What could be wrong about a place that has cheese in almost every dish? They have a large array of burgers, chicken sandwiches, grilled cheese, and Mac and cheese along with main and side salads and milkshakes and cookie options for dessert. We shared a great patty melt. Perfectly crisp and toasted bread enveloped a yummy beef patty and two kinds of cheese, along with jammy caramelized onions. The fries were divine. Light, crispy, flavorful, with a special seasoning. I think they finally supplanted the fries I remember from Germany that to me were always the ultimate. 10/10. Delicious drinks- I had an Oaktown root beer. We both enjoyed the meal, shared the sandwich and fries and it was perfect. Definitely membership of the clean plate club. Simple seating with tables and chairs and plenty of light. You order at the counter or at a kiosk and pick up at the counter. Drinks are self serve including ice water at a station adjacent to the counter. The staff member we ordered from was welcoming and professional. Be aware the parking lot gets crowded during mealtimes so plan accordingly.

    This was my first time here. I wanted something savory, good, and just smothered. This place was perfect and satisfied my cravings. The indoor seating was nice, plenty of space, food was done fast, and staff were friendly.

    We came here on a Sunday and were able to find a table inside without much trouble. Ordering is done through a kiosk, and you pick up your food at the front when it's ready. Overall, the food tasted good. The only downside was that my hamburger wasn't cooked the way I requested. The employees were friendly, and the restaurant was clean, which made for a pleasant dining experience.

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

    I visited The Melt in Sacramento, CA [2070 Fair Oaks Blvd] on Wednesday, 05/27/26, around 2 PM. I was happy to come back to this restaurant, as Liz Zuniga (Guest Happiness Manager) encouraged me to give this restaurant another shot. In this visit, I proceeded to order the following food items: * Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich * Melty Mac * Tomato Soup The chicken sandwich was juicy and fried to perfection. The size of the chicken breast was huge. The spicy melt sauce was delicious, too. I added mayonnaise to enhance the flavor. The Melty Mac was decently prepared. I added black pepper on top. Lastly, the Tomato Soup was absolutely incredible and divine, just like I remembered from the first visit. What stood out about this visit was the associate, Timothy. He was so extroverted and pleasantly kind to the point where he was engaging with all of the guests inside the restaurant. I enjoyed our conversation, as he was super welcoming and ensured that I was taken care of. He even went around to offer complimentary chocolate chip cookies to everyone! I'd say his unforgettable hospitality definitely brought this review up to 5 stars. As a bonus, I liked how this restaurant offered free Wi-Fi. It was super convenient, as I needed to complete work on my laptop. The inside of the restaurant was clean and presentable. Parking was easy to find around this time, too. I'll definitely be back to try more food items from the menu.

    Got the classic melt burger (well done) and added onions, tomatoes and lettuce. Much better than I remembered. Definitely will come back again.

    The patty melt and tomato soup
    Dan W.

    I'll leave this as a 3 instead of a 2, but under protest. The reason being is that I'm willing to come back, but they need to make some improvements. First, the good. The tomato soup was actually very good, not simply an afterthought side dish. I ordered the patty melt...at a place called "The Melt," with pictures of items covered in gooey cheese. False advertising? Look at my picture. While the cheese had good taste, there was nowhere near "the melt effect" one would expect. The patty was cooked well, but has no seasoning... therefore, no flavor. I think they don't season it because of the supposed melt sauce...I say supposed, because there was no sauce on my melt, though the description says melt sauce. I sat there with great tomato soup, a sandwich with minimal cheese, and a soda...for $$. I would definitely give it a second try....but I guess if you actually want cheese, or flavor, for that matter, avoid the patty melt

    Starting off with the customer service by Timothy, he was very kind in greeting us in and taking our order for us.. he even went around and checked in with people at tables to make sure everything was going good. The food is DELICIOUS! Everything I come, the food never disappoints! Even with it being cheesy, it is not greasy and the shakes are SOOOOO CREAMY

    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

    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.

    Sarah T.

    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.

The Pastrami was on Sweet French (once again, wonderful), also huge and loaded with lean, thin sliced, Pastrami (probably from Sysco). I am some what of a Pastrami freak and this definitely wasn't my style. The Mac Salad was not home made and likely straight out of the bucket from Sysco. Basic salad is the best way to describe it. The sandwiches are somewhat limited in terms of proteins. Chicken and turkey dominate the starting lineup with pastrami and roast beef are pinch hitters. Totally missing are the traditional deli standards such as salami, mortadella, ham, and capicola combination sandos. Despite what the website says, they do have fountain sodas. It is Pepsi centered but lacks Pepsi Zero (it does have Diet but not the DW's fav). The website says the Pure Leaf Tea is $2.75 but was billed at $4.00. Better Pastrami and salads would have made this a 5 rating rather than a 4. We will return but only for the bread and chicken/turkey.

Mind you, she only started acting rudely when I told her in a lighthearted tone, "I'm just pregnant so I'm looking for a specific craving." She said "there's a Carmichael store that might do you more justice." Oh... instead of walking the 5 minutes it would take to go, I will DEFINITELY start driving to the Carmichael location. It's hard for people to find jobs anywhere and this attitude is why I am quick to cut specific locations and even brands off. #1 restaurant over chic fil a with no prep or training on communicating.

I watched a little girl (unknowingly) dance around in it and prayed she didn't slip. Anyway, I ordered the tritip plate with double potato salad. The tritip was "ok" it was sliced super thin. And so it wasn't tough or anything. Not necessarily how I like it sliced, but ok. The sauce was pretty good. The potato salad was super bland. Only thing that was delicious was the slice of German chocolate cake that I got from an outside vendor called "Terri Does Dessert". THAT was super good! But yeah, this place. I don't know. I don't think they would pass a health inspection.
