| - I live in Philly, a city known for its famous melted cheese sandwiches (cheesesteaks). But until I ate I Melt, I never knew what a sandwich could be.
Since October, when I visited Cleveland, the delicious chorizo sandwich I ate at Melt has haunted my dreams. When I see the Big Cheese Club card in my wallet, I yearn for a giant tower of meltiness, meat and bread. When Melt posts on Faceboook with their new sandwich of the month, I remember that I really do need to book a ticket to Cleveland again sometime soon.
Both the food and atmosphere are fun and excellent. The menu is a long list of grilled cheese sandwiches cooked in a zillion different ways, many with funny names like "The Kindergarten" (plain) and "Parmageddon." Every month a special is offered--like a Chinese cuisine-inspired melt sandwich or grilled cheese involving Hungarian paprikash. Also, if you get tattooed with the Melt logo, you get 20% off at Melt for life! And service is super-friendly.
Regarding the wait that everyone is complaining about: When I ate at Melt, we arrived at the very start of the lunch hour on a weekday and were seated immediately. We went back twice, the wait was a a bit too long each time (about an hour), so we left and ate dinner somewhere else. The point is, Melt warns you about the wait, and from there it is your decision to stand around getting hungry and grouchy. Don't blame the restaurant for being popular!
Clevelanders, be grateful that you have Melt (and soon, TWO Melts)! I sincerely wish a restaurant like this would open in my city.
