| - Melt is...it 's hard to say.
I heard of Melt from several friends and the obvious, from the Food Network. I have been meaning to try this establishment for some time now, but first time I ventured there it was a 2 hour wait. They do not take reservations or call ahead seating, needless to say it took me sometime to swallow the pill of a hour plus wait for a diner-esque restaurant. But something came about to just do it (might of been the man vs. food episode I just saw).
I went on a weekday around 6:30pm and the wait was an hour to an hour and a half, I finally swallowed the pill and waited. The waiting area is plenty big for a a large crowd to wait, there is also plenty of TVs to watch and pass the time. At about an 1hour on the dot we were seated. This is the first time I realized how small the eating area is and this is the sole reason the waits are an extreme hour plus. We waited about 5 mins til our waiter arrived and asked what we wanted to drink. Their beer list, is massive, any type of beer you can think of they most likely have it.
The menu is large with many of choices not just the specialized grill cheese they focus on. I order the Hot Italian which is a Italian sub on large bread and tons of cheese. It was amazing. The fries were good, the coleslaw was good, and the portions are huge.
With the massive wait, the hipster environment, great beer selection, and amazing food, Melt is a unique, wonderful Cleveland area restaurant. I would suggest you to go, but it is a marathon of a wait, which is why I gave it 4 stars.
