Savory deliciousness smothered between two pieces of buttered bread.....
The Melt has a great history that is available online, along with current promotions & specials. This location is on the corner of Reynolds Road & Mentor Avenue (Route 20). There's plenty of parking on the southwest corner of the shopping plaza.
Atmosphere was casual & comfortable. It was full with customers, & the sound level was tolerable (not loud, not quiet). Drink menu was up-to-date, which is always important with the vast list of craft brew varieties. The record album menus are always cool to check out, & I wondered where the heck do they get all their wall decorations & lights (you'll understand when you see it).
The food was on point. First, the kids' chicken finger meal was huge, & the chicken fingers melted in your mouth (yes, I stole 1). The sandwiches are so delicious. Today, we tried Chorizo & Potato as well as the Peanut Butter & Banana. We were feeling a bit more adventurous, & it certainly paid off in taste explosions! The C & P had full flavor, like a great chili with twice baked potatoey texture. The PB & B was super sweet, actually honey smooth with a raw sugar cane complexity, & the banana just set off the flavors of the whole sandwich - surprisingly awesome!
We were seated immediately by the door host. Our server made the drinks & checked in on us often; Jennifer was excellent! She made sure everything came out right & retrieved a stranded banana from the kitchen for my daughter. She also registered us into the BIG CHEESE CLUB & provided us a card with points earned today toward savings later. We dine out a few times per week. Price-to-value was about average for what we usually spend, but the amazing thing is - we all have about half our meals as leftovers, so the serving portions are plentiful. They do offer half orders, if you're not interested in a later reheat. Overall, Melt's food is so enticing; we are destined to come back for a return visit just to try something new!
Other greats from previous visits are The Monte Cristo & The Big Popper (spicy). Some great deals will definitely allure us back soon with a guaranteed return visit - Old Skool Burger Season, Spring 2018 (April/May/June), check it out on meltbarandgrilled.com, also Service Industry Mondays receive 25% off food & drinks, wow!
