| - In a perfect world every place would live up to the hype. I have experienced a glimmer of the perfect world here. Maybe it has to do with a little cheese too...
Melt absolutely lives up to the hype. From the funky atmosphere, to the ultra friendly and laid back vibe to the delicious melty sandwiches, I'm a fan! Going in I expected at least a 2 hour wait, as I had heard is the standard. Thankfully it was only 30 minutes long, which wasn't bad at all compared to 2 hours. We went on a Saturday at 1pm too, but I think maybe the ungodly hot weather just kept everyone at home in front of their air conditioning. Doesn't matter because we won that day!
I was immediately blow away by their MASSIVE beer list. Holy crap. I really don't know if I've seen so many beers. I love draft beer and they even had about 30 beers on draft, which is awesome. I choose the Southern Tier Creme Brulee which tastes as good as it sounds. A dark beer with a sweet aftertaste. Delish!
I picked the Mushroom Melt because I can't help but pick a portabella mushroom off the menu! The sandwich was huge, with thick slices of Italian bread, piled thick with marinated porto mushrooms and the most tasty provolone cheese I've ever had. And... it was melted. The mountain of fries just topped off the whole meal, since it equally matched the amazing sandwich in quality. The slaw was the forgotten child, as it was just okay and slightly marinated with vinegar. But seriously, who cares about that when you have a plateful of other deliciousness?!
I'd say Cleveland's got a winner with Melt, but they already know that!
