| - What can I say about Melt that hasn't already been said? A few years ago on my 21rst birthday I went to the Lakewood location- this was back before Melt was a real hot spot- it was the only location and you could go in on any night and not have to wait forever. It was a Tuesday night and they had run out of bread...no joke. They made me a quesadilla with spinach, feta, and bacon. Needless to say, the experience left me wanting. I've been there countless times since then and each time has never been a disappointment. I know what I'm going in for- a colossal grilled cheese with interesting ingredients. Yes, it is a little pricy considering, but it is a lot of food. Each month they have a special sandwich, or every weekend they might have a special coinciding with the movie that is showing at the Cedar Lee or the Capitol. My favorite sandwich is the special they have for the month of November- the bomb turkey. It's Thanksgiving in a grilled cheese: turkey, stuffing, squash, gravy and a cranberry dipping sauce. Heaven on Earth. Another popular one is the popper melt which is cream cheese and jalapenos, entirely deep fried and served with the same cranberry sauce. They had another special once called the six degrees of Kevin Bacon melt which was like ten kinds of bacon stuffed between bread and I will remember it always. My favorite location is Independence. It's bigger than the Lakewood one and the decorations are cool(lots of Cleveland pride stuff, and old school, light up holiday decorations). The beer list is phenomenal and they have some awesome seasonal cocktails. Defiantly worth a try once, but it won't change your life, contrary to popular opinion.
