(This is probably closer to 3.5 stars to me.) Melt has a large menu of flavorful, creative grilled-and-cheesy sandwiches...plus menu includes the basic grilled cheese for good measure. The sandwiches are HUGE, so the half-sandwich option is nice. (The next time, I'm ignoring my stomach's ego and taking that option!) The sides were good and seemed to have southern bent. The drinks menu is also giant; it's heavy on beers, both on tap and in bottles, but includes plenty of cocktails and wines as well.
The restaurant has a fun vibe. This starts with the décor -- which includes numerous light-up lawn decorations from several holidays and a few lit signs from businesses like Krispy Kreme and Dairy Queen -- and extends to the friendly, lively, responsive staff.
