| - It's kind of weird that a restaurant as awesome at Melt now has a location in a place as lame as Independence.
In the land typically dominated by Panera, Chipotle, and side-of-the-highway hotels, you might drive past Melt the first time you visit, which is hidden away in a suburban strip mall next to a Nationwide Insurance office. As you dine, you can enjoy a beautiful view of a surface parking lot and some 3-story suburban office space across the street, while cars speed down the busy Rockside Road.
OK, so I don't think very highly of the neighborhood, and frankly, if it weren't for Melt, wouldn't have ever come out here, but Melt still deserves 5-stars, because it really is just that good.
The sandwiches are as good as what you'll get in Lakewood or Cleveland Heights, and there's 40, awesome, high-quality beers on tap. The staff is great, and Matt Fish has clearly done a good job with quality control, as the food here is as consistent and good as the other locations.
