| - It pains me to leave a sad review for one of my very favorite restaurants of all time. But sadly, this location fell very very short on the service aspect. I have been to 7 locations of Melt and the food is pretty much identical across the board. Matt (the owner) really has the QC down to a T. Hey, that rhymed! I am a poet and I didn't even know it. Or did I?
Tucked back off Detroit Rd and next to Mitchell's Ice Cream in Avon, this is a REALLY COOL location. They have the open garage door patio concept and a very very spacious interior. The bar is centrally located in the middle and plenty of standing (and sitting) room for those of us who like to make the day better with alcohol.
I was surprised and happy to see the menu revamp. A new kids menu, an added GF menu and a few new items tucked in. I was wondering when they would actually get around to this and they have! Ordered one of my faves, The Cleveland Cheesesteak on GF bread. Got their old school sweet slaw, lots of pickles and of course....their fries! OMGEEEE Their fries make me smile, my heart smile and my stomach sing. It is like Gone With The Fries (Gone With The Wind....Melt Style.)
A few things for everyone to know.
1) Their GF bread is SERIOUSLY AMAZING. The taste, the texture and the overall feel of the bread is really awesome. My kids (who are not GFree) love it.
2) Their peanut butter is a religious experience. If you have not already tasted it. TRY IT TRY IT TRY IT. Did I mention you need to try it?
3) They can pretty much make a sammie any way you want. GF, Vegan, Vegetarian?? They got your back!
4) Their fries will transport you to the fairs you went to in your childhood. Fresh cut, skin on and even malt vinegar on the side.
The ONLY reason I gave this location 3 stars is because our service was absolutely HORRIBLE. I do not mean it was kinda, sorta or maybe horrible. It was REALLY BAD. It took us over a 1.5 hours to sit, order and leave. We were 1 of 6 tables occupied in this establishment when we came and there was no excuse. We were ignored and even when we got someone's attention, we still didn't get the things we asked for. Definitely not Melt style. I would recommend another location if you are a newbie.
