The exciting news I'm noting, as I'm waiting for our burgers & onion rings to-go... MELT IS USING 100% BEEF TALLOW FOR THEIR FRIES & ONION RINGS. Everything is organic... NO SEED OILS!!!

I stumbled onto this spot on a whim, and the setup immediately struck me as legit. I'll admit I was…read morea little nervous walking in -- we dropped $45 on two burgers, one fry, and a beer, so expectations were high. The nerves come from the fact that I consider myself a "Burger God." I've hunted down some of the best burger joints the country -- and the world -- has to offer, so I was trusting this place to deliver. Right away, the dressing felt sloppy. The cold toppings were piled on top of the meat, pulling heat out of the patty fast. The beef itself was fresh and juicy, but the bun paid the price -- soaking up oil and fat until it lost all structural integrity. You can see it in the photo: completely flattened. Summary: Melt Gourmet's burgers are genuinely good, and it starts with the quality of beef they source. Where they're leaving points on the table is in how the burger is dressed -- and a stronger hand with seasoning would take it even further. The patty itself was a little under-seasoned, but the freshness of the beef and the crunch of the LTOP (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle) kept me engaged. Fresh-baked buns daily are another point in their favor, enough to bump my score from a 6 to a 7. What kept it from climbing higher was the construction: the way it's dressed and presented practically guarantees a mess with the first bite. The fix is simple -- onions, pickles, and lettuce should sit directly on the bottom bun, with tomato layered above them. Stacking the wet ingredients on top instead cools the cheese and patty fast, and every bite sends juice running rather than staying put. The result is flavor that ends up on your forearm instead of your tongue.

Despite the low score, Burger Fi has tasty burgers…read more Starting with the good, the patties are rich and meaty, even juicy.... Every bite was enjoyable, a quality burger. The grilled chicken is pretty good too, especially for those that want extra protein! The restaurant is clean and the AC is strong, making it a great place to enjoy your meal during a hot summer day. Now onto the down side.... My friend ordered a cheeseburger but there was no cheese. I brought this up to the cashiers and they said they will take a look at it. After a long while (maybe 10 mins) they still did not come. I went back up and they told me the same thing, but instead added, sometimes the cheese can be inside or hidden (I guaranteed him that it is not hidden...) by then the burger was cold. Finally somebody came and brought us two slices of cheese to add into the burger. That was quite disappointing considering how long that took to just bring two cold slices of cheese to eat with the now cold burger.

The service was great -- we had two gentlemen assist us, and I believe one was the owner. They were…read morepersonable, friendly, and most importantly attentive. My drink was never left empty. I ordered a Reuben sandwich with coleslaw. They make their own Thousand Island dressing and coleslaw, all using fresh ingredients. The corned beef was sliced thin and perfectly cooked. It was a very good Reuben, and the coleslaw was fantastic. (If you love Reubens, you definitely know when a place shouldn't be allowed to make one -- The Fountain Grill gets a solid stamp of approval.) As for the atmosphere, it's a simple, booth-style family restaurant -- comfortable and intimate. I liked the place and the people.

We found this wonderful restaurant on Yelp. It was close to the hotel where we were staying and parking our car on the first leg of our journey to Madrid. We will definitely return next week when we retrieve our car! Buon appetito!

You can tell there's intention behind what they serve. I had the Hot & Hefe burger, and it delivered--great texture, well-balanced toppings, and definitely some heat. I ordered it medium well, but next time I'll go for medium to get a bit more juiciness. The truffle fries were decent, nothing standout, but the chicken sandwich was impressive--huge, flavorful, and loaded with good toppings. A fun touch: they actually serve your food to the table with a robot, which adds a bit of novelty to the experience. I also want to highlight the ginger pear drink--fresh, nicely blended, and refreshing. The ambiance sits somewhere between fast food and casual dining--hard to define exactly, but it works. Pricing is mid-range, and overall, it feels like good value for what you get. I'll definitely be back.

My wife & I both wanted the Nutty Cat (the Twisted Cat version of a peanut butter, bacon cheeseburger). We were not disappointed at all. Great food, great service, wonderful location. Lovettsville hit the jackpot with Twisted Cat Tavern coming to our little town.

When they arrived they seemed oddly small for what you would expect, more so trimmings than "Steak Tips." For dinner I was between a couple of items, but I rushed myself to order the Steak and Cheese. When it arrived it appeared that I received the previously mentioned "steak tips" sandwiched between bread, with some condiments and cheese. Maybe I should have read the description a bit more carefully or maybe I expected something more typical of a Steak and Cheese. I did want to order the steak tacos after both, just to see if they were the same. Someone please let me know. I understand that restaurants will utilize ingredients across multiple dishes but this just seemed ridiculous.

My family and I had some regular char burgers as well as their promotional Korean burger. The place was booming. We happened to order on the app to take advantage of the free burger with purchase of a drink. The regular char burgers are good. I wouldn't rank it over an In-N-out but it's better than a five guys because it's not as heavily greasy. The Korean Sweet and Spicy was lacking Korean flavors. It tasted like a regular cowboy burger with a sweeter bbq sauce. The homemade ranch was stellar with their fries. I'm a sucker for a good homemade ranch sauce. We also happened to get some shakes. However we learned we can't order kid shakes individually. Which was confusing because my family likes to eat our food first then enjoy our shakes freshly after. But live and learn. Servers were keeping up with the business and keeping place pretty spotless. We'd try them again but Ashburn is booming with many great burger joints.

The servers were really personable and generous, helping me find a glass of wine I would enjoy. My cocktail, the Night Manager, was solid, but I didn't gush over it. And the food was good, but not great. We got the parmesan buns and butter special, which were pretty good but a bit too hard and crusty on top, and the butter was a little plain despite being flavored. The foie gras, dueling buns, and beef tartare appetizers were all really good but very tiny. Of all those, the cold crab bun was the most interesting and delicious tasting. But the mustard sorbet with the beef tartare was a really unique and fun take also. My spring pea risotto main dish was really good but not incredibly flavorful. So all in all, very good but nothing blew me away.

Would not recommend this place unless you enjoy overpriced mediocre food in a very pretentious…read moreenvironment. Everything we ordered was either trying too hard and missed, or was poorly done. For example, we couldn't taste the oysters at all because they were filled with some kind of cream with a rhubarb sauce on top. A complete abuse of an oyster in my opinion. Oysters are a delicate flavor and the point of them is to taste (or enhance) their unique brine, not bury them in a sweet sauce over cream. The giant pork chop was overcooked. The fries were so overcooked you could barely bite into them (and insanely salty). It is also incredibly overpriced. I rarely comment on price (we eat at Michelin restaurants a few times a year), but this place is ridiculous. Basically Clyde's style of food for 3x the price (and Clyde's is better). The staff was nice, but they seriously need to drop some of the pretense. Like I don't need my table swept for crumbs several times throughout a meal when you don't even bother to provide a beverage napkin to mitigate condensation (on a bare wood table, no tablecloths). The servers won't even take dishes off the table. They find their little crumb sweeper minions to do that for them. I've eaten at fine dining all over the world. This place is just trying too hard to be something it's not. Oh, and you also get the perk of paying $15 to park in the lot behind the hotel. Because apparently spending $500 on dinner doesn't include parking. Ridiculous. AVOID. They need to figure something else out. Loudouners may have money, but we also have taste and don't like being swindled.
