    Three Cheese Classic + Impossible Patty
    Lloyd C.

    First time visiting this location of The Melt. They are located in the Rivermark Plaza with Safeway, Red Robin Burgers, etc. The parking can be hectic and crazy during peak lunch hours. The interior is nice and clean. They have inside and outside seating options. Four kiosks to order from in addition to a cashier. Pager or phone text option. House music playing throughout the restaurant. Two separate single-user men and women's restrooms. The service is friendly and welcoming. Three Cheese Classic: gooey grilled cheese goodness of aged all-natural cheddar, Muenster, and fontana on crispy artisan bread. I added Impossible patty +$4.99 (4/5). Hand Spun Chocolate Shake (4/5) - creamy, thick and a pretty good shake. They came around offering a sample of their freshly baked chocolate chip cookie. Ooey gooey goodness. Support your local business.

    Tomato soup, Swiss shroom burger and sweet potato fries

    On a cold, wet New Year's Eve, we went to the Melt to get burgers and fries so we could close out 2025 with a good old American style dinner. The restaurant was clean and plenty of menus available to help you pick out what to eat. I loved the "You melt my heart away" back drop. There weren't a lot of people, but the cooks in the back were hustling with all the pick-up orders. A sign the food is good. We ordered the Swiss and shroom burger, single and double. The Swiss cheese was melted and stretchy. I could tell they used real cheese, not the processed stuff that melts off. We will go back again.

    I have normally ordered food from The Melt through DoorDash, but on our way to Red Robin, we saw The Melt and decided to eat there instead since it was a "burger" day. Unfortunately, I failed to take a picture of my burger because it smelled so good and I was anxious to eat it! The patty was like a "smash" burger and super yummy! A bit messy, but worth it. We also ordered garlic fries, which were on point. There are kiosks on the side to order, but we placed our order with the cashier, who was very nice and helpful when asking questions about the menu. She even came around with some samples of their chocolate chip cookie that was delicious. I love the garage door opening!

    The ambience is OK, the place has limited seating for a larger group (5+). The service was fast and the staff are friendly. I got an impossible spicy mission burger - the taste is good but it is expensive. I've had impossible burgers at other places but +$3 price tag here is high. Would be nice to have a veggie patty option as well.

    AVOCADO BACON MELT
    Carolyn P.

    Good place for sandwiches and fries. I wish they had more sauces or something because the avocado bacon sandwich I got felt like it was lacking some flavor. Their sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. The service was also really friendly since you order at the counter and they hand you a buzzer. The tables are pretty close together, but there's a lot of seating for tables of 4 and 2.

    This is another location which not only it recently opened here before the one in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, but also it's now the closest location from where I live. It's in Rivermark Plaza at Santa Clara and looks better than the one in Sunnyvale. It looks really nice inside. It's as if I walked inside a casino. Ordering there in-person is almost impossible because staff is very busy. Good thing that they kiosks allowing them to save time. I don't mind using them tbh. Before I had one of their regular sandwich melts which I believe comes with mac and cheese. I wanted to try one of their burgers and it's gotta be one of the best burgers out there. Its very juicy and patty-to-bun ratio is at the right spot! I also wanted to try one of their snickerdoodle milkshakes and really tastes sweet and delicious. Sometimes I gotta twirl it to get lessen the viscosity of the drink. The Parmesan fries are really good though. I saw a few pieces of garlic and ate them anyways. This is one of the best sandwich spots in the Bay Area and I'm looking forward to trying more stuff!

    SWEET POTATO FRIES And Oreo Shake

    Awesome this joint closes late, like 2:00 am late. Pretty busy for a Friday night after 9:30 pm. But we got a table for 4 before a few more larger crowds came. They have several self-serve machines and you can still pay at the register. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time considering the number of people. Their Melt Burger was pretty good. I finished my whole burger, and I only did single patty. Sweet potato fries were yum, and it was nice that, I think, was the manager walked around to table asking how everything is. Nice touch.

    This place can do no wrong!! The food is always great but what has remained consistent is the wonderful customer service! Great to see Clark back, and he remembered our group! And those warm, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies are always appreciated!! We had a great time tonight and will be back soon!!

    PATTY MELT WITH GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES
    Rudy D.

    The patty melt is my go to here. Burger was fantastic with the grilled onions. Tried the tomato soup which was very good! My wife who is a tomato soup connoisseur loved it. Wasn't happy that the garlic Parmesan fries were cold. Not sure how that happens since the burger and soup were hot. They made new fries, but it took awhile.

    I've been here many times and always have a great experience eating here. The staff works here are friendly and helpful. When I had trouble ordering from the kiosk, Liz was very patient and helped me out with my customization. We ordered the Patty Melt, Swiss and Shroom Meltburger and they were both delicious. The garlic fries is the bomb! The regular fries are good and crispy too. The tomato soup is good but a bit too sour to my taste. They have limited selection on their milkshakes and they're good and thick. Overall their food is great. The place is clean overall and they close late. It's great for late night dining when everywhere else is closed. It also has a nice open indoor-outdoor dining environment. There is a garage door that opens up to the outside during a nice day or closes up when it's cold and windy. I'd say they need to improve the software in the kiosk to let us customize certain menu items such as Patty Melt. It's very strange they let you customize burgers but not Patty Melts.

    One thing I enjoyed at this restaurant is the fact that it is open late especially in santa clara you don't really find restaurants that are open late. When we arrived we ordered using the kiosk which was pretty easy and not complicated. The restaurant is decently sized and is very open. I can see this restaurant get busy and full especially on the weekends. We ordered the melt burger with no cheese and the swiss n shroom meltburger. Our burgers were very tasty and were cooked well. The patty was not overcooked and tasted really well. I liked how you can customize your burger completely to your own preference. We ordered the garlic parmesan fries and mac n cheese. This is why I gave 4 stars, neither the sides were good in our opinion. If you're gonna do the mac n cheese don't get the mini mac I couldn't really taste anything and it was definitely just a regular mac n cheese. All in all great place amazing burgers I would definitely eat here again. Servers are very attentive and cleans the table right away.

The food was done very quickly, much quicker than the wait in line was. It seemed like the hashbrowns weren't the freshest as they weren't super crispy and had a little sogginess to them. The chicken minis were also fairly dry, so sauces are a must.

One of them contained only one veggie--zucchini--while normally there are carrots and some others making this my favorite item.

I did catch though, before leaving the store, that my order was missing the 5 oz. container of salsa that I paid for so was able to ask for that. I didn't bother about not getting any free chips that were supposed to come with it all. The way a once-popular chain has dwindled down to a handful of locations would suggest the closures are due to an overall decline in quality.

I actually almost knocked off a star for it. Also the kiosk never texted me the receipt it was supposed to send. It takes a little longer because it's more or less cooked to order. I got a little worried because it was still taking longer than expected and I hadn't gotten a receipt. Ultimately the reason I gave 5 stars not 4 is that the staff was so friendly.
