I think the idea and the hype definitely outweigh the real experience. I have tried four or five sandwiches and for the most part they were OK, but they also all made me feel pretty gross after I ate them. Can't imagine eating here on a regular basis.
The portions are very big which is somewhat ironic because these gooey and greasy sandwiches are best when eaten right away making terrible left overs. For that I wouldn't even recommend getting takeout. If you look past all of the hype in reality Melt is just decent restaurant with a cool concept.
