    We're going five stars for the patties and fries. My oldest son is a fan of five guys and in & out, so we haven't tried this spot even though we walk by it almost weekly. We decided to give it a shot after a late soccer practice -- they are open very late! My son got a double smashed and I went with the BBQ & bacon. The quality of the meat was definitely noticeable. A good char, juicy inside, and lots of flavor. I prefer a medium rare but most of these places cook their burgers to medium or medium well and you can't adjust. The garlic fries were My son thought they give five guys (his favorite fry in town, after a thorough research project) a run for their money and surpass with the garlic. There is plenty of indoor seating and a few tables outside. The service was professional. Not as friendly as some places, but definitely appreciated.

    Came back to try their Grilled Chicken sandwich. It's cheesy and chicken isn't dry. The Melt doesn't disappoint

    Ordered our food to go. Got the double mushroom burger added an extra egg and tomatoes, it was big and delicious just needed some ketchup, . It comes with a side of a large pickle, you take a bite of your burger and then a bite of your pickle. The next order was the mac & cheese with bacon and chicken. The portion size is big and worth the money. It was really good.

    first timers and was expecting more to be honest. the place was full so we had high expectations also from social media reviews. we got the spicy mission burger, garlic fries and the strawberry lemonade. the burger was a little bland and didnt have much flavor besides the sauce that was on it. the fries were also kind of plain for it being garlic fries. the food was just alright here

    All around pretty clean execution on a gorgeously juicy burger. Painless ordering process with plenty of peeps up front, online orders, or touchscreen ordering. Staff even brought the whole thing out for you if you dine in, so pretty on top of things for what's basically fast-food. MickyDs eat your heart out, this is serious competition. The burger can get a tad messy, but it is so decadently constructed all is forgiven. Just be ready for that before you start though, so napkins at hand and all. A single is definitely enough for most peeps, with a double burger for the extra hungry.

    Didn't expect service at all instead what a great service, easy to order whether you want to self serve or at the cashier. The place is well lit and clean and service was good. We ordered garlic fries, cheese with bacon, grill chicken with mushrooms, and mushroom melt burgers, all were grilled with garlic flakes, melted cheese, added fresh spinach, not your typical lettuces and tomatoes. Milk shakes were freshly made. Wait, did I mention great service? The cashier went around and ask everyone inside if their burgers were made ok, if we needed anything else or anything missing, we got the # buzzer to go get our food instead he helped my son to bring our food to the table. The only thing my wife didn't like was both burgers and fries were a bit salty which for guys that's a plus!! Great to go with a beer! Cheers!

    I had the pleasure of interacting with Laura. She was unbelievably sweet and helpful with my indecision decisions about my meal. I ended up getting the steak melt, it's so delicious. The ambience here is unmatched. They have a welcoming team , uphold cleanliness, and are super attentive. I would definitely come here again!

    SPICY MISSION MELTBURGER

    I'm not a huge burger person, but occasionally I do crave one, and the other day, this place hit the spot! I think this was great for a line order burger restaurant. I ordered the Spicy Mission Meltburger and my boyfriend ordered the BBQ Bacon Meltburger. These were large, juicy patties that covered the whole area of the bun without being so big that it's difficult to actually eat the burger. I enjoyed the Spicy Mission combination with pepper jack, jalapeños, avocado and spicy sauce, as it had a kick but was well balanced overall. We also ordered sweet potato fries, which were just the right level of crispy and soft. Will definitely come back to try a melt classic or crispy chicken sandwich, as well as some mac n cheese!

    Yummy burgers. The fries were good too. Located in the heart of Sunnyvale downtown. The restaurant is very spacious with lot of seating inside and outside. My kids loved the Mac & Cheese. It was creamy and delicious.

    Good food better than the habit cashier lady is very helpful and good recommendation on the cheese and steak melt I took my sister here too and said was very good and would come back .

    STEAK & CHEESE, TOMATO SOUP, chocolate milkshake
    Andrew T.

    There is plenty of parking in the area primarily in the garage area. There's outdoor and indoor seating. You order through the kiosk. The food didn't take too long to come out. The interior is spacious and modern. Their chocolate milkshake was enjoyable. Their melted classics are delicious and flavorful. My favorites are the patty melt and steak & cheese. The tomato soup went well with it.

    Missing bun on BBQ Bacon Melt Burger (left)

    It took us a while to discover The Melt in Sunnyvale, despite going to downtown Sunnyvale often. We just never walked down that part of McKinley. We only noticed it when there was an outdoor event where they closed off the block to set up booths. We strolled down the block to look at the booths for the event and discovered The Melt (and Urban Plates) near the end of that block, then made a note to come back another time. We were excited to check out The Melt. The burgers looked delicious and we had high expectations. Unfortunately, our first time trying The Melt left us disappointed. We ordered 2 burgers (the BBQ Bacon and the Shroom burgers) plus a Cookies & Cream milk shake. When we got home and opened the lids, we discovered that the BBQ Bacon burger was missing its top bun (see photo). How does this even happen? The person who closed the lid and packaged everything into the take out bag did not even notice that the burger had a missing bun?! Talk about lack of attention to details. We did not order the burger "without a bun". The label on top of the lid does not even say "no bun" (see photo). This is a pretty big quality control issue. That said, the rest of the BBQ Bacon burger was yummy. We were still disappointed that we got "less" than what we ordered. The Shroom burger was also delicious. I would get this again. Someday. Or maybe never. I dunno. I am not yet ready to give The Melt a second try when there are so many other burger restaurants that have never made such a huge error on my orders. Our Cookies & Cream milk shake was pretty good. I loved how they have a drink carrier that keeps it upright in the bag when you take it home (see photo). I like how they have a covered outdoor seating area in front of the restaurant. Sometimes it's nice to be outside while not having the hot sun beating down on you. There's inside seating, a few regular tables and a high table. Parking in the area is pretty easy. There's some street parking, and also nearby garages.

The Sunnyvale location is a definite miss/skip! I was craving a good deli sandwich so we ordered here. At first the pick up time was 4:24 (we ordered at 4:09) it was quickly updated to 4:54. I assumed they were packed which is why the time was changed by almost 30 minutes. Upon arrival the sign said grand opening, but it definitely looked old. I walked in to see no one around. There was someone kneeling down behind the register. After she did not notice me I said "hello". She said hi and that was the end of the conversation. I then said I had an Uber Eats order to pick up. She asked if it was 4 or 6 items. I said 4. She told me it was almost ready. That gave me time to look around. The place looked dirty. It was not what a "normal" deli looks like. The back where you typically would see sandwiches made, that was all storage. I heard something ding in the back and assumed that was my food. Picked it up. No thank you. No have a nice day. Nothing. Got home and was not impressed. My chicken sandwich looked to be shredded chicken. It was dry and the bread was hard. My fiance got a tritip sandwich and was not impressed with it either. Sadly we barely ate half of our sandwiches and threw the rest in the garbage. I will not be back here and I would suggest seeing If the Mountain View location is better.

The banh mi dac biet had a soft, yet crispy roll, plenty of cold cuts, and a nice amount of pate spread. The veggies were a little on the lower quantity, but it was fresh. The double spam masubi was warm and delicious, absolutely worth the extra up charge for two slices of spam. The gentleman taking our order was friendly and helpful for new customers. He spoke English and Vietnamese, which is a plus for those wanting to work on their Vietnamese food ordering skills. The restaurant had plenty of free parking, and a few small tables if you decide to eat onsite. Recommend order to go because it's cramped inside. The smell of fresh food to-go definitely helped me order more food than I was intending to - great ambience. Highly recommend if you need a quality banh mi without long waits.
