    Mushroom
    Richard F.

    "HOLY BEEP!" That was f*cking delicious!!!!!! As a Yelp Elite member always on the hunt for great eats, I was excited to check out The Melt, the new burger spot in Tempe. Wow, it did not disappoint--this place is legit delicious! I went with the Swiss & Shroom MeltBurger (mushroom burger) and customized it by swapping the Swiss for pepper jack cheese, adding ranch, and drizzling on that spicy buffalo sauce. Holy cow, it was a home run! The burger literally melted in my mouth, super juicy and packed with flavor--one of the juiciest burgers I've ever had. The angus-wagyu blend shines through, and the toppings took it to another level. The ordering process was super simple and modern--I loved the big touchscreen kiosks that made customizing easy and quick. No hassle at all. They have some unique soda flavors I've never tried before, which was a fun surprise and paired perfectly with the meal. Bonus points: the bathrooms were spotless and well-maintained, which always matters to me. This jumps straight to my #2 burger spot overall (Shake Shack is still king in my book, but The Melt is giving it a serious run for its money with that melty, juicy goodness). I'll definitely be back soon--highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Tempe. You won't regret it! 5 stars all the way.

    I got the swiss n shroom burger and it was amazing! I dipped it in their ranch and it was even better! The service was great and the man working there was so sweet and gave us free cookies. There's lots of seating outside, perfect for big groups. Definitely coming back PS. they validate parking!

    Food was hot and fresh! Melted cheese on all the things. Burger was a good size. I mistakenly got the double expecting something much smaller. WRONG! That burger was huge! The Mac and cheese was good. My favorite was the cane sugar soda. So good!

    IMPOSSIBLE SPICY MISSION
    Lupe E.

    the place is spacious and there's kiosk to order from, the employees were so kind, we went after midnight and it took about 10 mins to get our food but it was fresh and everything tasted great with high quality ingredients, i love how there's 3 impossible burger options to choose from for my boyfriend who doesn't eat meat, the cheese fries and mac and cheese were so yummy, needless to say ill for sure be coming back soon, this location closes at 2 am which is a huge plus for me since im a night owl

    The three cheese classic melt is made with sharp cheddar, muenster & fontina. The sandwich bread is French bread. It is cheesy and full of flavor. It helps me feel satisfied and full. The melt burger has cheddar, jalapeño--pickle mix, and Melt sauce. I didn't think I could taste much of the Melt sauce to make it different from other hamburgers. I could taste more of the jalapeño and pickle mix. The staff was very friendly. Did a take out order over the phone. The restaurant is located on the corner of an intersection so it makes it easy to find. They have large glass windows so you can easily see inside. The Wall is basically two large panes of glass. This makes the restaurant seem more open and a larger space.

    The Melt - ASU Tempe @ Novus Place Original Burger Melt more than 1/3 pound of Angus & Wagyu beef, chopped, grilled and filled with loads of melted cheddar, jalapeños (not too spicy), pickles and Melt sauce on a toasted, artisan bun. (cooked medium, pink & juicy. Good burger, size and taste. Swiss and Shroom Burger more than 1/3 pound of Angus & Wagyu beef, chopped, grilled and filled with loads of melted swiss, fresh spinach, grilled mushrooms, crispy onions & ranch (cooked medium, pink & juicy) is solid winner. Cheddar Bacon Ranch Fries smothered in cheddar sauce, with crispy bacon and ranch sauce, is a solid choice, all condiments work well together. The warm Chocolate Chip Cookies are a winner The signage is a little confusing outside, there is a vertical sign on the corner, but the store front sign says " World's Meltiest Burger" This is a solid place for a burger

    SPICY MISSION CHICKEN

    I've been to the Melt in Scottsdale and it was pretty good so I tried the one in Tempe. This is one of those places you order on a screen, then you take a pager and go grab your food from the counter when your pager goes off, and then clear your own table by taking everything tot the garbage when you're done. I never had to talk to a single person, but the machine still asks for a tip on the meal. This time I went with a spicy mission grilled chicken sandwich, but I should have stuck with the burgers. My chicken was tough and chewy and really salty. The fries were still pretty good though.

    ORIGINAL CHICKEN MELT

    Fast casual restaurant in Tempe near the ASU stadiums where you order at a kiosk and they call your number when your food is ready. The burgers at The Melt are great. The original chicken sandwich I got this time was over salted and was very dry and rubbery. Next time I'll just get a burger. But The Melt is in a great up and coming area and will do well.

    GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES

    I was starving after work, and really wanted to try this place, as it's a few stores down from a great ice cream place. I think the ordering concept here is freaking amazing!! Used the kiosk, there's a tv showing how many orders are before yours and showing whose orders are ready. Minimal face time with people, especially if you've just about had it for the day lol. The strawberry lemonade I got was quite good, and the fries were alright. I guess I forgot to take a picture of my burger, but I got the one with bacon and bbq in it, and it was freaking awesome!! The bbq was really good. I actually wish they had that for sell. It wasn't too acidic, and was a perfect addition to the burger. Very clean and respectable place. Definitely recommend this location!

    ORIGINAL CHICKEN MELT

    Great burgers, I got the mushroom swiss burger and it was really good, a little greasy but overall lots of flavor very juicy. My boyfriend got the chicken sandwich which was pretty good, it wasn't anything crazy though. We also got this snickerdoodle shake which was really really good actually. Inside is nice, we came few days after opening and it was pretty quiet (we also went on a sunday at like 4pm). You order off a tablet and they bring out your food for you. Very casual but fun place for a nicer burger than fast food. A little over priced in my opinion, but nonetheless the food was good

    Decided to try this new (to Arizona) place on a whim. So glad we did! There were several locations in California, and the reviews are great. And who doesn't live delicious, melty cheese! The menu has lots of cheesey things--burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, Mac and cheese, chicken sandwiches, fries, shakes, and, of course, tomato soup to go with the grilled cheese. You order at the counter and are given a pager to let you know when you're order is ready. The gentleman (Nicholas, I think) at the counter was so friendly and helpfull. The dining room is pleasant, with exposed brick and both regular and high top tables. We ordered *Two Melt Burgers. You can dress it as you like--add lettuce, tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and sauce. *Sicilian Chicken Sandwich--grilled chipped chicken, provelone, fontina, and grilled mushrooms on spicy garlic bread *Queso de Mayo--avocado, fresh jalapenos, smoked bacon, and pepper jack cheese on grilled artisan French bread *Garlic Parmesan Fries Everything was sooo good and so cheesy. The price wasn't bad, either. This could definitely become a regular thing for us!

    Snicker doodle malt
    Holly C.

    Holy Moses lawd above I have seen the light and it's garlicky and cheesy. I was in the mood for comfort food tonight and not in the mood to go anywhere, so I did what I do as a millennial and searched good ol doordash for ideas. I came across The Melt and I've gotta say... I'm pretty sure this is the best thing I've tasted in YEARS. First, the sandwich: I ordered The Italian and added steak. The menu says the bread is "spicy garlic" and whoo boy, they are not kidding. The bread was absolutely *PACKED* with flavor. The steak was tender and thinly shaved, and the mushrooms were out. of. this. world. And the cheese blend? Chefs kiss. Next, the garlic Parmesan fries: just yes. All the yes. The fries were flavorful and crispy. I did need to add salt, but that is no biggie. As a picky fry eater, I was impressed. Finally, dessert: their snicker doodle malt. Think of your happiest childhood memory, and imagine being able to experience it again. That's what this malt was like. Just pure bliss. Absolutely hands down 100/10. Will I be back? Hell yes.

    Super cute interior!

It's not strips of bacon but instead a circle of bacon. So good and crispy! The condiments are self serve in this middle area and you shout your order when it's your turn and then wait for your burger to come up then grab a tray, your burger, drink and side.

There's also a bar space that runs along the window that separates the small dining room and the patio. There are a few tables inside as well as some bigger tables on the patio. The patio is nice with lots of shrubs right outside the rail. The murals on the wall are pretty darn cool - - they're like enlarged historic photos of the area. I love them! And I'm not sure who's giant face is hanging on the ceiling but it's short a spark conversation. The menu here has a little something for everyone. There's the regular loaded fries and wings, salads, and a nice election burgers. We ordered the Philly Salad and the Very Summer Salad with a side order of fries. They make their own ranch, and it is good. I will say they don't seem to skim on salad ingredients either - - the Philly salad was covered with shaved beef, and my berry salad had a lot of chicken and tons of blue cheese. The fries were delicious - - slightly seasoned and crispy. This place is clearly dog friendly. In fact the day we went there was a sweet Pitbull named Daisy who literally hopped up on a bar stool and sat there like a little angel the entire time. The bar had a dog full of water that they sat down on the counter next to her owner's beer. They also have dog biscuits to give. It made my day to see that sweet little dog hanging at the bar having a treat. This really is kind of a spot that feels like it's probably the hangout spot of many people. Great bar food and a good selection of beers. What's not to love?
