This was my second time at the market so it was my job to give another one of the vendors a try and that vendor was the Meltdown Grill this time around. This place has a stacked menu of hot dogs, cheesesteaks, melts, and burgers with an insane amount of options for all of the above. I was feeling a little feisty and self deprecating, so I ended up order the two hot dog combo with curly fries and it was a decision I would reflect on for months to come. For hot dogs, I ended up ordering the Mac Attack (Macaroni & Cheese + Bacon) and the chili cheese dog (self explanatory). Both hot dogs were absolutely delicious and everything I could possibly want out of a hot dog afternoon (some days just need to be hot dog afternoons). The curly fries rounded out a pretty good lunch and were exactly what I was craving, very very good food. Overall, Meltdown Grill is a wonderful addition to the Parkville Market and I very much look forward to trying a burger from here on a future visit to Connecticut. Hungry? Get over here and dig in.

Food took 45 minutes to come out. It destroyed my lunch break and by the time I could sit down and eat the food steamed in the container and got cold. The burgers were probably really good warm, but they really needed ketchup which was a little hard to get my hands on by the time I started my shift back up. Generally speaking, as a burger joint they do usually have a great burger. My experience was lacking this time around, but it's usually not that bad.

We ordered the steak tacos and a burger. My husband had no complaints about the burger but my steak was very tender. It was well seasoned but too chewy for my liking. I don't like tendon in my meat. I actually walked into the wrong restaurant and was distracted by my baby. I was trying to go to the bbq next door. Overall it was ok but I wouldn't come back again because of the steak.

I've brought countless people from friends to parents to in-laws to Plan B and everyone likes it. Yesterday I scarfed up a custom double smash burger to which I added the blue cheese sauce (tasty) with a big side of disco tots. My wife had the MOAB (mother of all burgers/big Mac knockoff) with the hand cut fries. Those fries were REALLY GOOD, I might have to switch from my beloved tots next time. There's just a few downsides I would like to share-they could really use one of those heater things by the front door, that keeps the cold air out. If you're not sitting in the bar, but at a booth on the left side, you will get a blast of cold air whenever someone enters or exits the joint. Also, I saw at least 3 Uber Eats types waiting a long time to pick up delivery orders. They should speed that up if possible.

Anyway, an old work buddy & I met there yesterday and it occurred to me I hadn't ever reviewed (shame on me). Burgers: Amazing, some of the best around! Over time, the menu has diversified a bit and there's salads and vegetarian options as well. Lately, I've opted for the burger salad, but you can't go wrong choosing otherwise. Also, they always have an expansive draft beer list so it's fun to try new ones. They bring you a bowl of dill pickle slices to compliment the "burger" theme, but if I had one wish, it would be for Plan B to go back to the awesome pickle wedges from years ago. PS. There's ample outside seating for nice days :-)

Hamburger and Grilled Chicken is what you would expect it to be and I enjoyed them . What really is special about the place is it's family run with the salad place next to it. You get the feeling that your business is appreciated. You always get a warm welcome and thanked for stopping by. It's the small things. Lastly it's located in the State House Square food court which can be loud if it's full but this day had a nice quiet feel to eat to enjoy a peaceful meal.

It was a UConn game tonight and they only served a limited menu, so we just had their $10 smash burgers which were satisfying if not hot off the grill (I think they were fresh enough just not made to order). The staff also seemed distracted probably getting ready for the big influx of people which sure enough arrived at about 5:30 and suddenly there were no more free seats. It was too loud to enjoy our conversation anyway so we vacated to make room for the newcomers. If it were a regular night I think I would've appreciated the multistory layout and a more relaxed meal but that's ok. It was a last minute decision to go there when our restaurant of choice was booked for the evening (not usually a place that requires reservations but again affected by the local sports event).

It has such a great vibe , welcoming, and perfect whether you're going out with friends or just want a solid meal in a good atmosphere. And I have to mention the waitressing is always on point. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes the experience even better. You can tell they care about the customers. Overall, this spot never disappoints.

I've got a hot water bottle, but nothing i've got'll take the place of you holdin me tight. I've got steam heat". (from the 1954 Broadway musical The Pajama Game) Steamed cheeseburgers seem to be a Connecticut thing, and Meriden, CT's Ted's Restaurant might be Ground Zero for the genre. It was established in 1959 and soon became a popular destination for Meriden's many factory workers who worked around the clock. Td's stayed open until 4 AM to accommodate them. Ted's doesn't fry their burgers in a pan or grill them on a grill. Nope - they steam them in a steel cabinet and serve them with a scoop of melted cheese and your choice of free toppings, like ketchup, mustard, mayo, lettuce tomato, chopped onions, pickles or even bacon. Their food truck is named "Steam Machine" and it was at Cheshire Craft Brewing today. In fact, it's there every Friday night and weekends. It can also be found at Hartford area attractions like Bushnell Park, the Xfinity Theatre, and at Pratt & Whitney Stadium for UConn Huskies football games. Our cheeseburgers were $8 each and they were great! I will defer to Yelper Keli R's epic description below: "Slathered high, drippy, messy, greasy with fresh vegies. It was a b*tch to eat and worth all the struggle". Yes, they sure were Keli.
