    We were looking for a bite to eat before a show at the Warfield. The highly rated Saluhall was pretty barren, so we went to this place. It looked like it should've been better. We both ordered burgers and a slice of pickle on the side. We also shared some garlic parmesan fries. Everything needed to be better. My pickle slice was chewy and had a thick skin. The fries were not hot. The burger was the best part of the meal but it pales in comparison to Super Duper. Same with the garlic fries. The drinks were the worst. The root beer was barely carbonated. The iced tea had some undescribable flavor. The cola was passable. I'm not going back.

    Milkshakes

    I usually order the patty melt or chicken sandwich with garlic fries, but tonight I wanted a sweet treat. Their hand spun milkshakes are great! Our favorites are the snicker doodle and cookies and cream. The shakes are thick and indulgent.

    Delicious!!! Omg! I ordered DoorDash not expecting it to be this good! Holy smokes!! I need and want more!! It's so late so I only ordered grilled cheese sandwich and a soda because us intoxicated people need food before bed. Great sandwich! Fast delivery too!

    Chicken sandwich
    Marissa C.

    This place was good! Ordered the chicken sandwich and a side of french fries. The French fries were super good and I loved the seasoning! The chicken sandwich was really spicy and we ordered it just regular. My partner had to order me something else and I got a cheeseburger instead. It was super good! Love having a late night option like this!

    CHEDDAR BACON RANCH FRIES
    Treyslyn K.

    I had to leave a review for The Melt because my experience was a hands-down 10/10! This was my first time ever eating here, and it definitely won't be my last. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot. I especially recommend the cheddar bacon ranch fries -- I personally got mine without the ranch since I'm not a fan, and they were still a solid 10/10. My other half got his with the ranch, though, and absolutely loved it. If you're into ranch, I'd definitely suggest keeping it on because it pairs really well. The service was great too! Even though they were really packed, I still got my food in a timely manner, which made the experience even better. Overall, The place has a cool, modern industrial look--exposed ceilings, pendant lighting, and long shared tables that give it a laid-back but slightly trendy vibe. Amazing first experience and I'm already looking forward to coming back!

    Walked here after a concert at August Hall. I would say it's probably about a 10 minute walk which is really inconvenient because it was the closest restaurants open after 11pm. I appreciated the multiple screens to order from because we got to choose what we wanted and place our order right away. I think the sweet potato fries were great. The salad was ok and my avocado bacon sandwich was good. The location itself is more of an eat & go not really dine in. More of a fast food location, but I think overall the food is good and you could take the food to home if you don't finish. The best part is the customizable meals and I'd come back to try other items on their menu for a late night bite

    STEAK & CHEESE
    Rini R.

    We went there while casually strolling around the union square area in San Francisco. And omg! Their sandwiches and burgers are absolutely delicious. We went here on a weekend . There was ample sitting space . The place looked very clean and the order didn't take too long . We parked our car in a parking garage before as parking could be an issue in San Francisco as with any other big city. I would highly recommend their steak and cheese . Can't wait to visit the place again

    Strawberry Lemonade with Avocado Bacon Melt

    Came here yesterday 03/07/2026 on a busy night in the city right after the Chinese New Year Parade. I must say the workers sure are professional and working fast. The fast food restaurant is being taken care of with love by the workers as they were cleaning and wiping down the tables. Food came out at a significantly decent good time the food tasted like it is freshly made to order. Do try out their milkshakes especially the cookies and cream one and the snickerdoodle one. Can't find no single complaint about this place just come and try it out for yourself if you are nearby.

    Great spot with fresh tasting burgers that actually open late into the night! Good prices for the amount of food. Lemonades were a bit too syrupy though Would come back again for the burgers

    Had to stop by here since I'm craving for good burgers/sandwiches. This place is pretty cool. Has second story seating. There's really no service only calling food out for pick up. Everything is enclosed. Touch screens for ordering. I'll try the other locations. But definitely coming back to eat more of these burgers. It's soo good. Now check out what my party ordered

    Tomato soup and ITALIAN JOB
    CeCee S.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch bite to go. This is a casual sandwich shop. Very minimal decor. White walls, concrete floor and a few tables and chairs. You could enter your order at the kiosk or directly with the cashier. I Ordered a tomato soup which was smooth and creamy and tasty. I also ordered the Italian Job which is a mushroom and cheese sandwich on a spicy garlic bread. Unfortunately the bread wasn't spicy nor garlic. I'd stop by again for the soup alone.

    Grilled THREE CHEESE CLASSIC Mac and grilled cheese
    Amber L.

    This place is one of my favorite places for Mac n cheese and sandwiches. It's around the corner from the hotel I stay for work. The staff is always so friendly and very helpful. Every time I'm here for business, I come here. The place is pretty chill and they have registers where you can order something yourself as well. I've had many of the sandwiches and burgers, the grilled cheese with meat (there are different types of meat you can put in it) and they are all so delicious. Taste every flavor. My favorite is the regular 3 cheese Mac. I'm pretty simple and it's the best one, in my opinion. I'm from the south so these Mac n cheeses are done right. If you love burgers and Mac n cheese you'll love this place. The desserts are tasty as well. It's a must stop when I come downtown SFO.

    You seriously can't go wrong with anything at the melt. Food was piping hot, packed with flavor, prices were good.

Ordered and walked out in the span of 10 min. Very italian deli with tiramisus and cannolis. Tons of italian snacks and puff pastries, and a convenient location to pickup anything from beers/wines to premade cannoli shells and gelato. One thing to note is you cannot customize the sandwich, not sure about the pizzas, which smelled delicious. They only make speciality sandwiches on their menu, but surely can't go wrong with any of the choices. They're packed with a sizeable amount of meat as well as greens. The half was enough to fill me up and they were kind enough to wrap them separately.

    my friends and I stopped by for sandwiches at limoncello after seeing all the rave about it online…read more there were so many options and we were also excited to see the deli was actually part of a larger italian grocery store and grabbed some italian sodas too! we were a bit disappointed by the sandwiches themselves- for $18, we felt that the proportions were a bit off. it still tasted great and ingredients were high quality, but there was a monstrous amount of meat and lettuce so it was hard to get any of the other flavors. the portions were huge though, which is a plus. overall, the store was very cute, clean, and seemed like it stocked authentic italian ingredients. the service was pretty quick since we just ordered at the counter, and they are all very friendly.

    This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

    Wait did I really just order a sub two days in a row? Before this, my last visit was prepandemic…read more It's been that long! The subs are so good and fairly priced. Mr.Happy is my favorite thus far. It's packed with fresh ingredients and enough to feed one hungry Mr or Mrs. You'll sure be happy after this meal. What's even better is that they have a dining area next next door. It's clean and filled with games if you just wanna hang out.

I ask the guy at the counter and it seems like he just THROWS out a number off the top of his head, depending on how a person looks. SHADY! No matter what the ingredients, he said a medium is $17.39. Which I thought was funny; tri-tip is the same price as bologna??? O...k. #2. What's up with the sizes; small, medium, and large? I haven't been to Roxie's in 15-20 years. They only had one size back then. Yesterday, I got a medium, but the only thing medium was the length of the bread. What was in between the bread(meat, veggies, condiments), could have fit in a small. My sandwich was empty. Lastly #3. Weighing the meat?! WTH! Old Roxie's just made the sandwich. Eyeballed it. I watched the sandwich-makers continuously weighing 2 ounces of meat. That's not much, for $17. This isn't Roxie's. This new owner is living off the old Roxie's reputation. NEVER going back! Not worth the price or wait. And put some numbers up(Prices)!
