    Holy hot sauce! Or should I say...holy green goddess sauce! The Melting Pot was a favorite of mine as a child and I recently returned as an adult. My thought process was, surely it's not as good as I remember? Dear reader, it WAS. The price for the four course meal is totally worth it for the amount of food you get, and from fondue to dessert you are in for a treat. With plenty of gluten free and other diet sensitive items, substitutions are accommodated without flaw. On top of it, the interactive aspect of the meal leads to fun and conversation that you might not get at run of the mill restaurants. Come hungry, as you've got plenty of sauces, proteins, and flavors to try! The vibe is very dim date night, but all kinds of people and groups were dining so there is no pressure if you show up with friends or children! Our server was absolutely fantastic, as were all employees we encountered during the night. We left stuffed to the brim, and yet already dreamt of returning before our bellies had time to digest. I am so glad to have had such a great experience, and can't wait to return!

    5 star service all the way from talking to Trevor on the phone who was very informative and informative on making my reservation. To our very dedicated server Julia. She really made the night special. Walked us through the menu was very knowledgeable about the food and very patient. Food was amazing so was the pace of the experience at no point did we feel rushed or overwhelmed. Price was very reasonable for the quality of food service and ambience. We celebrated my wife's birthday and she loved it will definitely be making the drive back.

    The service was fantastic. It's a bit pricey, but if you are available during restaurant week where they have deals, it is worth the experience.

    We are such big fans of The Melting Pot. We have been dining here for years and it will continue to be a staple venue for celebrations. Our most recent visit was an anniversary celebration. I booked a reservation on Open Table and requested chocolate covered strawberries for the occasion. When we arrived they were waiting at our table with a sweet card from the staff. We are always seated on time so we didn't have to wait more than a minute or two. We already knew what we wanted to order, as there was an Octoberfest special going on. We asked a few questions about the menu and our wonderful waitstaff had all the answers. She was so kind and helpful. The food, as always was delicious. We love that the waitstaff tells us a bit about the menu and what she is in the different courses. We did the full spread with cheese fondue, salad, grill for our entree and wrapped up with chocolate fondue for dessert. Our waitstaff also brought some extra veggies and dessert accompaniments and even sent some home with us. The restaurant is always clean and cozy and perfect for a night out with a date or an intimate group of family and friends. It's never loud so it's easy to visit. Be sure to follow them on social media to watch for fun themes and menus throughout the year. We'll definitely be back.

    Went here the other night for dinner with my fiance. I will start by saying that I have been to Korean Bbq restaurants where the server told stories about how customers complained that they needed to cook their own food. This is not Korean Bbq, obviously, but if you don't like the idea of cooking your own food at the table, then this might not be for you. My fiance and I enjoyed the experience. There were no issues with finding parking. For me, I find it frustrating to start a night by driving around looking for parking. I did not have that issue here. We got into the restaurant, and my fiance let them know that we had a reservation. They were not able to find our reservation, but they were able to get us a table quickly. The table we were seated had a stove top in the middle. The seat curved around the table, so we both had access to the stove top. The meal started with us choosing the type of cheese that we wanted. We picked Wisonsin. A pot of Wisconsin cheese was put on the stove to heat up. We were given a plate of bread, fruit, and vegetables to dip in the cheese. The second part of the meal was a salad. I chose the Ceasar Salad. The third part allowed us to pick our proteins and also the way that we would cook them at the table. The version that we picked to prepare the food involved dipping the food in a hot broth until it was cooked. They have cook times on the menu. There is a scene in the original (still the best) Ghostbusters where they advise not to cross the streams. This is good advice in Ghostbusters and for this restaurant. Make sure that if you are trying to get something to cook that the person you are with does not pull a hot piece out of the pot and over where your hand is. In short, just be careful. The final part was dessert. They exchanged the broth for a pot of chocolate and brought out a plate thar had bananas, waffle pieces, marshmallows, and more. All the food was delicious and we enjoyed the unique experience. Our server was very knowledgeable and was a great help in explaining everything. She was also very attentive and checked on us often. Her checking on us could be just making sure there were no fires to put out. I'm happy to say that I did not burn the place down, and it is still there for others to enjoy. I recommend this place for good food, great service, and a unique experience

    What is proper attire?

    I’ve gone in jeans and a t-shirt. Some people dress up. I just wouldn’t go in sweat pants.

    Would it be okay to dress nicely, as in a maxi dress and heels?

    Not sure what a maxi dress is, but have been plenty of times and folks dress up.

    Can we have a broth and a grill?

    Sure thing. If you are a party of 5 or more you will automatically have a table with two burners. For smaller parties, you can request an additional burner and we can put one at a smaller table if there’s not a larger table available.

I like the idea of the French onion burger, but it just didn't come together well for me. First, I thought it was overcooked we asked for medium, and I would say it was medium well and then the texture just wasn't there. There's no grill char to it. The caramelized onions ended up giving a similar consistency with the burger it just had no distinction to it. And our waitress was very nice and attentive. I just wasn't wowed by anything (other than the jelly on the charcuterie) so I'm not sure if we would be back. I was surprised my wife didn't get the dessert but she did say she enjoyed it.

I am glad they're renovating the place, though. We did not have a reservation prior, and they were able to accommodate our party of 4 for lunch. Our server seated us and took our order promptly. My little shared the tenders and shrimp plate, because the coat of each child's play is $14 and I knew they wouldn't eat it all. It was 2 tenders and 2 coconut shrimp. We opted for the sweet potato fries for $1 more. The portion could have been larger. It was a scant handful of fries. My husband and I shared the burrata appetizer. The dish was very tasty, but the tomato's were very soft and turned to mush quickly. The arugula was a nice touch but some was yellowing on top and there was an old wilted/dark green/slimy piece, but it was small enough to push over. I was just surprised to see that on our dish considering the cost of the dish. My husband had the Cobb salad for lunch. His salad looked nice and tasty. We were surprised to see the avocado was brown in a few places. I had the lobster shrimp roll with sweet potato fries. There was lots of lobster claw meat and shrimp. For $27, I didn't expect to see so much claw meat. The fries were the same scant handful of sweet potato fries. It would have been nice to see a more full pile of fries in both our dishes. Overall it was a good experience and the service was good. My kiddos love visiting and we will be back because of the experience of getting to look over San Antonio.

I was told the drinks were good, especially the mojito flight. This is where the positives stop. We sat at our table for over an hour waiting for our appetizers to arrive. I never would've thought that it would take over an hour for appetizers to arrive in a half full upscale restaurant at lunchtime. So disappointed. The restaurant had definitely aged and needs a touchup. While definitely upscale, it has tiles peeling off the walls, old carpeting, and chipped wood finishes.

The place was located in a small plaza off the side of some main roads, and we gathered for a class team building event. By that I mean beer and burgers. The entrance beckons you to come on in, what with its neon sign and all. The walk up feels rustic, and the door makes it official: you're entering an awesome place. There's plenty of seating and every night has something else to offer. I enjoyed the breakfast burger which was delicious. I liked the quality of the bread and the contrast of a well-seasoned patty. The fried egg was prepared beautifully, and the yolk covered the fries waiting below on the tray. The place is military friendly in terms of the bill and our sever, Rebecca, was not only fast and friendly but very welcoming and knowledgeable.

We arrived at 12:45, and by 3:00 p.m. only about half of our group had received their food. While the servers themselves were polite and professional, this issue falls squarely on management and whoever approved the reservation knowing they could not reasonably accommodate it. To make matters worse, the food was overpriced and similar to food court food. Overall, a very disappointing experience, and I cannot recommend this restaurant. If I were the manager I would've comped the whole party. This is not a way to run a business!
