Melt
Marc T.

Back to Melt. They were busy at lunch, but we got a two top quickly. London was fast and efficient. We shared the Cauliflower starter and I got the Grilled Salmon BLT wrap with Parmesan broccoli. My wife got the Chicken Salad wrap with a side salad. We took half our entrees home for later. Another delish meal at Melt! They have weekly drink specials and a full bar.

Cyprus Salad with shrimp
Mike G.

We came here for lunch today with family. I had the Cyprus salad with shrimp, while my wife had the grilled cheese sandwich with tomato basil soup. Others in our group enjoyed a variety of sandwiches, salads, and soups. Everything was quite tasty. Food came out quick. Service was fine, I guess, yet not overly impressive.

My sister and I went here on a Saturday afternoon and were sat immediately and greeted quickly by our server. The atmosphere is super chill and was a nice spot for a quick gathering. We ordered the Brussels sprouts which were phenomenal and a HUGE serving easily enough for 3-4 people. I ordered the ham and brie panini with a side of the dipping sauce from the granny, and my sister ordered the granny and we split it. The paninis were soooo soft but crunchy like you could hear the crunch when you bit into it. The dipping sauce though is what really made it. Personally I didn't like the French fries though. They are a duck fat fry but they weren't salted enough and I feel like they were too soft. I preferred them more once I took them home and threw them in the airfryer. Over all I woukd return for another panini and those Brussels sprouts

When we pulled up I was like wow they have two levels and outside seating. I was wrong lol. The inside was packed but service was great. The menu is simple and I love simplicity. We ordered our food and it didn't take too long to come out. I love the option of switching out tacos! I had the fish taco and the buffalo shrimp taco with duck fries and brussel spouts. Everything was goooood! We will be back.

This is really a place for paninis, but we got burgers. We = me and my son. We were going to see a concert nearby. The burgers and fries were a little bland but the Mac and Cheese was good and the beer was refreshing. The reason for four despite the negatives is twofold. One, it's a panini place and it wouldn't be fair to rate on something they don't specialize in. Shoot, we could have missed the best panini in the world and we don't even know it. If they had turkey, I would have had one. Two, the staff was excellent. Super friendly waitress, which helps a ton. I always put service #1, then food and atmosphere. Cleanliness isn't a factor because if it's dirty, no point in staying. The atmosphere was pretty cool. Small place with a good vibe. That said, my son was facing the restaurant and he said the staff kept going in and out of a room to whisper about something. Maybe there was some staff drama that day. I didn't even notice (facing the wall). Overall, recommended but I would definitely go with the paninis over the burger and fries, which were underwhelming.

Cold, soggy Duck Fat Fries
Hannah J.

Even after a 15% service fee, we got home with our food to find cold, soggy fries in our boxes.

Found this little gem on a Yelp search while in town for our granddaughter's soccer game and so glad we did! It's a cozy spot with the nicest people! The playlist was a whole throwback vibe and we loved it! My hubby had The Roast Beast with duck-fat fries and began to devour it before I could get a pic. His word for it, "magnificent." I had the Ham and Brie with duck-fat fries and my goodness was it delicious! The portions are very generous and the price points are spot on. The bar has daily specials as well, Thursdays are $6 glasses of wine. The Limestone Hill Chardonnay was very good and my husband had a rye old fashioned that was perfectly crafted. Our quick stop for dinner turned into a nice impromptu date night. This place will definitely be on our rotation when we are visiting the kids.

I was greeted when I walked in and was seated at the bar. The customer was top tier being this was my first stop in the city. My server was amazing. I ordered a few vegetarian options. The food lacked seasoning but my mocktails was a 10/10. There was plenty of parking in the designated parking lot.

Sunrise salad
Diane W.

Our first visit to this charming lunch/dinner spot. We came for early lunch, no waiting. Ordered the fried cauliflower for an app: hot, fresh & delicious. For entrees we ordered the Sunrise Salad, fish tacos & Nikki B panini. Food came quickly, fresh & great presentation. Service was great, friendly staff - will definitely return.

Ham and Ham & Brie
Gary G.

My cousin introduced us to this very popular local favorite and we were especially interested when she mentioned Brussels Sprouts . Over the years, we've sampled many versions of Brussels sprout salads and sides, But the version at Melt set a new "Brussels Sprout Benchmark" with an incredible array of seasonings and bacon. We wish we had ordered the full plate. Paninis: My wife raved about the Granny: turkey, green Granny Smith apple, onion jam, (pesto instead of maple Dijon) , brie, and mozzarella. She thought the addition of a little cranberry sauce would've made it perfect. I had the Ham and Brie: Black Forest Ham, brie, mozzarella, fig jam, and a creamy Dijon. Both Panini's were very hearty and generous portions. We enjoyed the multidimensional flavors. Oh yes, the Duck Fries were hearty and delicious. Next time we are in Greensboro, Melt will be our first stop ( for the full plate of indescribable Brussels sprouts).

I've been meaning to check out Melt for their bottomless mimosa brunch, but I happened to be nearby around dinnertime and decided to give it a shot. I ordered the Ham & Brie panini--black forest ham, brie, mozzarella, and house-made fig jam--with a side of parmesan broccoli. I'm a big fan of fig and brie, so it sounded like a no-brainer, but the flavor didn't quite hit. The panini was warm with really good bread, but it was light on the brie and I could barely taste the fig jam, which was a letdown given that it was one of the main reasons I chose it. The broccoli side was unfortunately pretty bland--no seasoning, watery at the bottom of the dish, and topped with unmelted parmesan shavings. I sat at the bar, and while the food underwhelmed, the service made up for it a bit. The bartender was incredibly sweet, answered all my first-timer questions, and made me feel welcome. I didn't end up ordering a drink--cocktails were on the pricier side, and after spending $14.50 on a sandwich that missed the mark, I didn't feel like adding more to the tab. The location is tucked into a cute little business center with a stylish, darker-toned interior. I chatted with a couple of friendly regulars at the bar about brunch, and I'm really glad I did--they advised that if I ever come for bottomless mimosas, to come early. Apparently, the early brunch crowd is laid-back and fun, but it gets rowdy later in the day--so much so that they said the police have been called in the past. Based on that, I'd still be open to coming back, but only for an early brunch.

Duck Club with Mac & Cheese
Odalis R.

Very nice restaurant with good food and good service. I went in for lunch and was seated at the bar. I ordered the Duck Club which is one of their most popular items with a side of Mac n cheese. The sandwich has duck confit with bacon, caramelized onions, Gouda cheese and apricot jam. I don't think I like duck, or this sandwich just wasn't coming together for me. Despite all the items built into the sandwich the primary flavor was the meat and I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. The Mac n cheese was good. I will come back again and just try something different because they are obviously doing something right. I was told they have the Monte Cristo on the Sunday brunch menu so I'll have to come back for that.

Rebecca L.

Came here in a Saturday afternoon for lunch with 2 kids. Lots meal was a huge portion. The Mac& cheese is not your Kraft brand, but home made and elevated flavors! The patty melt burger and fried chicken burger was delicious. The brioche bun was perfect for the burgers we ordered. The fuck day fries were crispy but over seasoned with herbs. Would've ordered just plain duck fat fries with s&p. Sangria was the drunk special but they sold it and the waitress advised that "they were too busy to make another batch". Interesting response and disappointing since it was their advertised special. Parking available in plaza.

Service was great and the mojitos were on point. Not being able to decide on two things to share we needed up ordering 3!

The chipotle ketchup is so unique too. The tacos also packed a punch, lots of filling into the little street taco shell! Loved this. The mojito bowl was just as always fabulous.

I was especially interested in the Toasted Cuban Bread, the Authentic Cuban Sandwich, and the Pan Con Bistec, and tried them all over several visits, along with Chicharrones, Ceviche, plantains, Fried Chicken Sandwich, Ropa Vieja, Street Corn, and more. My experiences here were definitely a mixed bag with both the food and the service. On one visit the service would be fine, and on the next it would be awful. Time for food to arrive on the table varied greatly, even when the restaurant was not especially busy. The Cuban Sandwich is decent but it doesn't scream "South Florida". I was more impressed with the Pan Con Bistec, a better choice in my opinion, as is the Fried Chicken Sandwich especially with a side of sweet plantains or yucca fries. The Toasted Cuban Bread, the Street Corn, and the Ceviche were also pretty good choices, as are the Chicharroes. I did not care for the Ropa Vieja at all, nor the Cuban Deluxe Sandwich, too much going on, croquettes adversely effected both the taste and the texture if the Cuban! I was sorry to hear that the restaurant will close permanently on Aug 24th. The owners site a drop in business due to the downtown parking situation (which likely will only get worse with the coming changes), safety concerns by potential customers, as well as rising costs in almost all areas of operation. Winston will lose yet another solid, sit down restaurant, most likely to be replaced by another fast, casual spot with a trendy, funky menu.

On the edge of the Greensboro and Summerfield border, near the PTI airport, lies a small restaurant with big flavor and big heart. This location has been many things in the past, but I am hopeful that Empanada Grill will last forever. The menu is very simple , but nobody needs to make complicated empanadas. I would rather a place do a few things well than have a wide variety of things and be mediocre. Empanada Grill is as far from mediocre as you can get. I opted for their empanadas undressed in the traditional chicken style. It came with a side of rice and beans. You got to choose between red or black beans, and white, yellow, or traditional rice. I went with the black beans and traditional rice. This was enough food for two meals. I received my food to go, as I had a practice to get to, but there is a variety of seating areas within to accommodate groups of all sizes. The black beans deserve a picture of their own because they are basically a full meal themselves. I ate half before I remembered to take a picture because they were so good. I would definitely bring the family back to this restaurant, as we all love empanadas. I would love to try the traditional beef next time. The worst part about this trip? My car smelled like empanada the next day and I had no more empanada to eat. But that's a problem that can easily be solved with a trip back to my new favorite empanada place.
