    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.

    The food is really good and the owner is super friendly. He is frequently out and chatting with the patrons, offering samples and doing what he can to make your dining experience great!

    This place is AMAZINGGGGGG! their fries are spudtastic & their sandwiches are to die for! Shout out to McKenzie (I hope I spelt that right) for the awesome customer service! You made lunch time the best time.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Tomato Soup
    Da Kat A.

    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.

    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 just love the double melt burger here. Although I usually have it delivered, I have also eaten here and have found the staff friendly and of course the double melt burger Great!

    SWEET POTATO FRIES And Oreo Shake
    Debbie S.

    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 was called something else before. Slipped my mind what. But if the change of name reflected a…read morechange from good to awesome then I was in luck! I had this huge craving for a Fettuccine Alfredo on this weekends trip to San Jose. Lucky me we're staying at the 4Seasons Hotel where Hangar Bar is located on the ground floor. I can write an ode to my most favorite pasta dish ever. But I'm also difficult. I want my sauce to be very slightly runny but not so much that it would take a sec or two before it will start running if you tip your plate every so slightly. The chicken strips has to be grilled and it can't overwhelm my pasta in amount. The sauce has to be covering both the chicken and my pasta when I start mixing them. But not too much where I have a bunch of extra sauces seating there. Well seasoned. No bland sauce. Makes me cray cray! The above I can achieve at home and when eating out I suffer in silence as long as the sauce tastes awesome. Here they hit the nail in the head. I almost took a moment of silence and said thank you to the One that made this possible. A tear almost escaped from my eye. This after not expecting anything quite remarkable. The staff that served me also made sure that I get what I really want dessert wise. Their Creme Brûlée. Get this! Dramatic review? Oh yeah! It was a dramatic moment. Electric! Lol!

    Great place, I definitely go back. Great food and fast service as well…read more Thank you for making some delicious meals.

It was the perfect spot to enjoy the fresh air and made for a really relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant has a great vibe overall, especially if you're looking for an outdoor brunch. (Have not been inside) I ordered the steak chilaquiles, and I'd give them a 8.5/10. The flavors were really good, the sauce was delicious, and I liked the addition of the eggs, avocado, and queso. My only complaint was the steak. I ordered it medium rare, but it came out medium well, a bit dry and was tougher than expected, making it difficult to cut. It was still tasty--just not cooked quite the way I was hoping. The mimosas were good too, a great value. Nothing that really stood out as amazing, but definitely nothing bad about them either--they got the job done. What really elevated the experience was the service. Our server Rebecca was attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly quick throughout the meal. They checked in at the right times, answered our questions confidently, and made us feel well taken care of without ever being overbearing. Overall, I'd come back, especially to sit on the patio again. With a more tender steak, this meal would've easily been an 8.5 or 9 out of 10!! :)

    Hey there party People…read more Decided to venture into Willow Glen today on the hunt for something new to try. Boy howdy did we hit the Mother Load with "The Table". We hit the Brunch hour and the place was rocking. We were able to sit right down amazingly. There is a fabulous patio to people watch and enjoy the California weather. Our server Charles was really great. He walked us through the menu giving us the 911 on watch to order. Most of the plates were perfect shareable bites. Making it easy to try multiple plates and really get your inner Foodie on. We started with the Seasonal Banana Pancakes with crushed walnuts and cinnamon maple syrup. Inside the pancakes were fresh bananas and the walnuts were crushed very small but added a great texture. Moving on to the Chicago Steak sandwich don't get confused but in Chicago they refer to Roast Beef as steak. The Au Jus dip was very flavorful without being a salt bomb. Loved the potato roll they used all round a killer sandwich. Going a little outside the box we tried the Jerk Chicken Sandwich. The pineapple slaw with this amazing peppery chutney type sauce played so well with the acid of the pineapple. Another must have sandwich. I ask you how can you go to a new restaurant and not have some dessert. With everything else being so good our expectations were pretty high and we were not disappointed. The Giant Profiterole is exactly that GIANT and stuffed with White Chocolate Gelato and Hot Chocolate Sauce that you can drizzle over the top. To fricken die for good. If you are in Willow Glen and you don't stop here you are missing out on something wonderful. Be kind to one another
