| - The Melt has a great selection of beers on draft that are all very reasonably priced. (36 draft beers to be exact) The food, meh, I guess it tastes good, but lets be honest, it's fried buttered bread, topped with copious amounts of cheese, excessive meat and other random high calorie tid bits.
The menu is out of control. It's like whoever made it decided to take every sandwich and make it as unhealthy and fattening as they could. A meatball sandwich with deep fried mozzarella sticks? Seriously?
So since it was going to be one of those kinds of meals (the hard on the heart, thick in the thighs kind of meal) I ordered the Melt Burger which was pretty much a huge greasy burger with cheese. I was disappointed they didn't serve tomato, lettuce and onion with it. Only a burger sandwiched between two buttered/fried pieces of bread with lots and lots of American cheese. Of course the burger tasted good, but it was super greasy. All sandwiches come with a mountain of fries and a scoop of coleslaw. On a prior visit I tried the BBQ chicken sandwich which was grilled chicken slathered with copious BBQ sauce and topped with globs and globs of cheese.
I guess if you were paying for the number of calories you get for the dollar this place would be the best deal in all of Cleveland! I'm hesitant to give it 3 stars, because honestly I don't like this place and won't be coming back. But to be fair, I guess if a deep fried, cheesy pigout is what you are looking for at a reasonable price, stop no further, the Melt is it.
Bottom line: The beer selection is fantastic. A meal here will be a greasy, cheesy piggy pig pigout of epic proportions at a reasonable price. Service is polite, but slow. You will also have to wait a long time to be seated.
