"0"^^ . "0"^^ . . . "As you have probably heard, Melt Bar and Grilled is a must-do for first timers in Cleveland and anyone who loves cheesy, bad-for-you tasty food. I wouldn't say it is overrated at all, but I also would probably not make a special trip to go after having gone once. Don't get me wrong, it was good and I am very glad I went. I would recommend that anyone visiting tries it. For me, it would just be a special occasion type of meal.\nYes, you will have to wait. For probably one of the most popular and well-known trendy restaurants in the area, it is extremely understandable. People that get mad at having to wait on a weekend are jerks anyway. it's clear that the staff is working hard to get you sat and serviced. We were quoted a one hour wait, arriving around 1pm on a Saturday. Hearing this, we got a \"name\" and decided to walk around the area for about 40 minutes. We walked to The Exchange and got some used cds at good prices, check that out for sure. When we returned, we were sat within about 15 minutes, so the quote was right on.\nOnce sat, the service wasn't the most attentive or speedy in the world, but the server was clearly busy. He was friendly and accommodating.\nThe food was delicious. I'm not going to lie. Yes, it's horrible for you, this is no surprise. I customized my sandwich and got the mushroom melt with sharp cheddar and added smoked turkey. My bf got the dude abides, which he enjoyed. Neither of us was crazy about the slaw- he doesn't like cabbage and I thought it had too much of a strong taste from the raw onions. Had I known I could substitute it, I would. In my opinion, the sandwiches shined over the fries, which were just all right.\n\nOverall, I say check it out. Plan to wait, don't be a jerk about it when you do have to wait. Go crazy and make your own dream grilled cheese. I can't recommend the port onions enough- sweet and savory, they are a delicious addition. I only gave one less star because I see it as more of an attraction rather than a meal. It is a spectacle in itself and while I would go once and recommend it, I can't say for sure that I would have to return on my next trip to Cleveland."^^ . . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "2012-08-26T00:00:00"^^ .
