| - The Lakewood Melt is the original location and still my favorite. I have been here... *starts counting on fingers*... several times. Like a lot. I'm lucky to have friends that worked there and run the spot. I live in Phoenix now, so I basically have to look at the adds for the specials and drool in privacy. And sadly, my Melt tattoo has gotten me no discounts in the valley of the sun. That's right- you get a discount for life if you get a Melt tattoo of your choice.
I have tried almost all of the sandwiches, burgers, and monthly specials. That's a testament for the quality and yumminess of the sandwiches- I typically order the same thing at restaurants. Stick with what you like, right? Not here. Try it all. Favorites include the reuben, parmageddon, chorizo and cheddar, and the mac & cheese melt. I'm always attracted to heart attack friendly cuisine but it's worth it and my cholesterol is still darn low.
The staff is friendly for the most part. There always seem to be at least one or two staff members that focus more on "cool" than service, but it's generally a very friendly environment.
I've always loved the quirky decor that mixes Cleveland sports history with giant light up holiday characters. And the murals by Jake Kelly in all the locations are amazing! Yeah, there might be a crazy wait at times, but plan the time of your visit just right and you can walk right in.
P.S. Great beer selection and unique mixed drink selection.
