    I came to The Melt looking for my lunch, and the first impression of this place everything was very clean, chair, tables and floor ,,, I ordered a Melt Burger Single burger with fries and it was extremely delicious,, Also the assistance of the person at the cashier was very helpful, Thank you Tatiana for the excellent service of your person ...

    I had the opportunity to interact with Tatiana in this place, and I must say that it was a pleasant experience both with the food and with the employees of this store, I really enjoyed my burger with Bacon and my garlic fries, they were hot and super juicy, Would you come back here? Definitely yes !!! Thank You The Melt

    The Melt is a great spot if you're trying to grab a bite to eat in the area late at night. They even have a really nice outdoor seating area that's well lit. They have some great options with their various burgers and grilled cheeses. Make sure to get something with a tomato soup. I was also pretty happy with the milkshake. It was filled all the way up into the domed lid of the cup. Love to see that. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the area.

    This was their classic cheeseburger and the picture doesn't do it justice.

    First off when you walk in the ambience is really cute and cozy. It has seating outside and inside. Catherine took our order and she was super nice and sweet. We ordered some cheeseburgers, chicken sandwich, french fries and a cookie and everything was amazing! Will definitely be going again.

    Double mission burger

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    SPICY MISSION MELTBURGER
    Julie Ann S.

    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

    SPICY MISSION MELTBURGER
    Amanda M.

    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!

    STEAK & CHEESE, TOMATO SOUP, chocolate milkshake

    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.

    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.

While having pho at Pho Nam, I considered grabbing a few sandwiches there to bring back to the hotel. I had a hot date with Netflix later and absolutely no intention of going out again. But not far away is Cam Hung, a tiny Vietnamese sandwich shop specializing in bánh mì. It's cheap, and it's in the kind of quiet Sunnyvale strip mall where parking is not an act of war. It shares the plaza with a Chinese herbalist and acupuncturist. On a Sunday afternoon, the place was practically deserted. Perfect. I walked in and immediately realized this was much more than a sandwich counter. The tiny shop is crammed with prepared foods, spring rolls, steamed buns, Vietnamese desserts, dried snacks, candy and all kinds of things I couldn't identify but probably wanted. The main attraction, however, is the bánh mì. These are big sandwiches, and even the most expensive ones top out at around $9. I got a Chinese barbecue pork and a ham and pork roll to take back to the hotel, along with a bag of roasted candied garlic and chile peanuts. I came dangerously close to buying the peanut brittle too, but the sugar would have nailed me. Even I have limits.

Customizations are welcome. Sandwiches were good and very filling. The only complaint on my end was the shredded lettuce that made for messy eating- I would have preferred whole leaves. Honey wheat isn't recommended if you plan on eating your sandwich later- this bread is softer and will become soggy quite quickly. 4 stars. The bread to protein ration is fair, food is tasty, and the staff was kind. I'd say this was a good first experience.
