When yelpers mention there's a wait... boy was there a wait. If waiting was an Olympic sport, I'd win the gold twice!
Great friends decided to make a 24hours stop in Cleveland en route back to Boston. Checked in at Melt- 6:15PM. Quoted wait- 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Actual time- 3 hours. (True story) The rational- 'we waited this long..we just CAN'T leave?!!' Another 15 mins, became 30 mins, became another hour! The longer we waited the longer we were determined to get our table... it was like Modern Warfare 2.
Hunger pangs knocks us over, delirium sets in...we finally got our table! Ordered foods STAT! Another 35mins before any food touched the lips. Left the restaurant traumatized with cramped stomachs.
Ordered- blacken chicken (good), 3 bean chili with grilled chicken (okay), the porky (friend A says 'too salty') and winter chicken (friend B says 'chicken was burned), and fried twinkee for dessert (disappointment- 3 breading balls battered and fried with oozed cream on the side, sat on a bed of pureed berries-not the actual twinkee we wanted).
Group consensus- the food ranged from 'okay' to 'good,' the bread lacerated our hard palates.
Do the math..food not worth the 3 hours wait time. Never again... this place turns me off and an entire evening gone,,, over-rated, game over.
