    Excellent service! Amazing food! Did Valentines with my daughter. This is my favorite restaurant for any special occasions.

    Really good fusion for fondue! Never had anything like it. They have an extensive selection of cheese sauces. Wine was good. Service was amazing.

    Very pleasant experience. Came on a Wednesday evening at 6:30pm for their Crave Combo. $38 for two for a cheese and dessert fondue, bar dining only. There were three bar seats left so I was able to snag two for my friend and I. Our server was very friendly and efficient. I liked that they did notice my friend and I were catching up and talking a lot so they did minimal interruptions which is always appreciated and didnt feel forced on their behalf either. We decided on the alpine cheddar fondue with came with vegetables, bread, apples and grapes. The smell of the cheese was not the best but it was very delicious. We added the sausage dippers and it was very delicious. I also added their garden salad which was delicious! It tasted super fresh and the vinaigrette gave it a sweet but subtle taste and it all paired well with the cheese fondue. We decided on the ying and yang chocolate fondue was it was great to enjoy a nice sweet treat after the cheese and catching up with my friend. All delicious. Came with brownie, rice crispier, starters, banana and pound cake bites. It had been a while since I had visited and im glad I did. Not expensive for the two of us and honestly it was all very filling and nice for a Wednesday dinner. Definitely will be back.

    I don't even know where to begin! We had a reservation at 8, and were seated within minutes of being there. I paid extra for candles since it was our anniversary, and had told them prior that it was. Madisyn was one of the best waitresses we have ever had. This isn't just dining, this is a wonderful experience. She was so wonderful with explaining everything as it was my first time there. The flaming turtle was delicious, along with the French onion Gruyere cheese! It was amazing for our two year anniversary. The entire restaurant felt comfortable and like we were the only ones there. We will DEFINITELY be back soon!!

    The pickle cheese was something new. And interesting I've never tried. It was for pickle lovers not my favorite the Alpine Swiss was creamy and delicious the raspberry vinaigrette Gorgonzola salad has candy pie nuts. It's delicious. The rest of the meal was absolutely delicious. I had never had the lobster at home. That was great with lemon and butter. Cajun shrimp was something new to me and really good. We enjoyed two different cooking styles.

    Sat at the bar for the weekly special! They do have a good bit so check them out. The alpine cheese and yin yang chocolate dippers were both delicious. Indoor seating only. Staff was friendly!

    Amazing dinner out with coworkers! We decided just to do cheese and chocolate. We had a group of 6. We had Lucas as our server and he was amazing! We did the Wisconsin cheddar and Alpine Swiss. Both soo good. We added on the charcuterie (must do!) and double dippers (good but could live without). The only thing I really missed with the cheese is there used to be more variety of bread maybe a pumpernickel? For chocolate we did the coockie butter and dulce de Leche. I'm not normally a big dark chocolate fan but the dulce de Leche was amazing!! This is such a fun girls night or date night option! If you go ask for Lucas!

    I'm always going to love this place. I've been visiting for years and I know that it's not the new, trendy hotspot, but it's a franchise that never disappoints. The food, service, and ambiance is always 5 stars and it's one of my favorite restaurants for date night because the experience is so unique from other dining experiences. That's what makes it special. I love requesting a private booth for added romance and we usually spend about 2 hours getting through the courses. We usually go with the 4 course dinner for two and these are some faves: 1) Cheese: Spinach artichoke fondue. Just give me all the bread and apples! 2) Salad: California salad because candied pecans on salads with a berry dressing is always the move. 3) Entree: For broth, we stick with the traditional court bouillon. Can't really go wrong with any of the meat combos but I usually get the Pacific Rim and that teriyaki steak is BOMB, especially with all those yummy sauces -- you can just dip to your heart's content! My husband loves the duck. 4) Chocolate... all of it. ALL OF THEM. Flaming turtle. Yin and Yang. S'mores if you're an OG. Love the brownie and blondie dippers. You will want to lick the bowl but that could be dangerous.

    Soo good! I went with my mom, and a friend and her mom for my birthday and it was such a fun experience! We got the cheese fondue and then we got the baked potato fondue, and for dessert we got the cookie butter crunch fondue. Dinner was very good and the service was great! They brought a plate with bread, fruit, and other things to dip in the two cheese fondues. For dessert they brought brownie pieces, waffle pieces, pound cake pieces, and more! I honestly don't think I have had such a tasty dessert as that! We were all stuffed by the end, and for my birthday they brought a plate with my name in chocolate, and a chocolate covered strawberry! I loved this place and will definitely be back again!

    Food is always awesome at The Melting Pot. Some people like the argue about the portion size but I feel like it's a pretty good amount considering the different courses. Plus the main reason to go here is for the experience! I recommend signing up for their fondue club, where you put your email address in and your birthday and anniversary date... They'll send you a coupon for six free chocolate dipped strawberries! Make sure to sign up in advance and you'll get that coupon for the month of your birthday ... You'll need to make sure you mention the strawberries when you reserve your table the day before. Our waitress was great! I think her name was Jay? I don't know I can't remember (mom brain), but she was about 22, black woman, from Waxhaw and very very personable. She made me feel very comfortable and of course added to the great experience. I mention her just in case management reads reviews.

    Ask the Community - The Melting Pot

    Do they accept walk-ins?

    We strongly recommend reservations to guarantee you a table!

    Is the tip automatic or custom? and do they have Coke Cola drink options or tea or just alcohol and water?

    Tip is custom They do have Coca Cola Products, in addition to tea, water and spirits.

    So I noticed the food is raw at the table ,Do they cook the food in front of you?

    No, you cook it yourself in a fondue pot in the broth of your choice.

We were a walk in but were able to score a table outside which was perfect. The drinks are good and the staff members work as a team so there's not one primary waitress. I ordered a custom drink where I told the server what I liked and the bartender created something based on my likes. It was a "fruity" tequila based drink and I enjoyed it. We were given a bowl of complementary kettle corn to enjoy with our drinks. The music was a mix of r&b and hip hop and was loud enough to vibe but didn't overpower the conversations.

There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

EDIT (5/27/28): When we entered and sat down, to the bartenders credit, he swiftly asked us what we wanted. As we were describing the general vibe of the drinks we wanted, the attitude of the bartender manifested as very condescending and lacking in general back-and-forth discourse. Despite the dismissive attitude, but after the drinks were made, we attempted to thank the bartender, but his only response was a derisive chortle before walking off. For the remainder of our stay, he was flirting with some female patrons at the other end of the bar. Sharing pictures, conversation, and general good service while we were ignored until we asked for the check to pay and leave as quickly as possible.

We also wanted to celebrate with a strawberry mojito. First, our waiter told us they were out of the non-alcoholic version, so we said we'd just get the alcoholic one instead. He came back again and apologized, saying he had misspoken--they don't offer strawberry mojitos at all, either non-alcoholic or alcoholic. He first suggested a cranberry spritzer, then recommended a lemon drop and a strawberry chipotle mojito. Unfortunately, both drinks were disappointing. The lemon drop was bland, and the strawberry chipotle mojito barely tasted like it had any alcohol and was also lacking flavor. We were told the upstairs comedy club had recently been renovated. While it looked updated, I was surprised by how small the stage was. The seating also felt cramped, with four people expected to share a very small table. Compared to other comedy clubs we've visited in Charlotte, the layout just didn't feel well thought out. The highlight of the night was getting to see Flame Monroe, but overall the venue itself didn't leave a lasting impression. If you're curious, it's worth visiting once to experience it for yourself, but it's probably not a place we'll return to.
