| - Whoa-hey! Finally got a chance to experience Melt while passing through Cleveland on our way to Cedar Point. Apparently, there's a lot of local hype about this place and as such opinions are split. When you walk in, you see it's a hipster bar of sorts with Halloween and Christmas decorations still up and menus resembling spiral records of sorts, vegan and meat options and a whole lot of craft beer on tap. I would describe the atmosphere as cool and casual.
I'll start with the food. Before I even got here, I was craving a burger. After waiting for about 20-30minutes to be seated (on a Saturday night at 7p--totally reasonable!), I looked over the menu and saw they had hundreds (literally!) of different sandwiches. Everything to please vegans, meat lovers, vegetarians seafood lovers and everything in between. They specialized in different grilled sandwiches, but also had a section for burgers. My eye spotted the "BBQ Pig Burger," which featured an 8 oz ground steak burger, house roasted pulled pork, fried onion straws, chocolate stout bbq sauce and sharp cheddar. House roasted pulled pork AND 8 oz of beef? Best of both worlds!
The waitress assured me that their burgers are fantastic and remarked that it's one of the only places around that she would order her burger rare from. So, I opted for medium rare and about ten minutes later, all our plates come out (pretty much all at once!). My burger was cooked absolutely perfectly uniformly medium rare. It was out of this world delicious! The meat was tender, juicy and so fresh and the pulled pork and chocolate stout bbq sauce added a whole layer of delicious flavor! It wasn't confusing or even hard to eat like I imagined it might be because of the larger variety of ingredients. It, yes...melted in my mouth. The fries were solid and the cole slaw was crunchy and tasty just to my liking. Be warned: portions are huge!
Aside from the food being a delicious heart-attack cornucopia of melted goodness, the service that we received for our party of eight was fantastic: fast, cheerful and our waitress went above and beyond!
Toward the end of the meal, she goes ahead and takes the initiative of asking if we'd like our bill split! No awkward, "uhhhgh, maybe you can split our bill?!" because we were too shortsighted and focused on consuming loads of tastiness to ask beforehand. She just does it and makes it super easy! Yes, she tacked on an 18% gratuity for our large party, but that's cool. I'm pretty sure we all tipped her on top of that anyway. Would totally come back here when I'm in the area, but am sorta glad I live far away...otherwise I'd probably die a lot younger from heart attacks and the like! You're lucky, Cleveland!
