Exquisite burger. Fantastic customer service by Jayden Bai. Would recommend others to give this restaurant a go.

I ordered the hamburgers, tomato soup, and mac & cheese here for takeout--my daughter had recommended the place to me. everything was excellent and delicious. While mac & cheese is often thought of as a simple dish, I've rarely found a place that makes it truly well; here, I could really sense the chef's effort to achieve a great flavor. :) The hamburger patty was incredibly tender--it felt like it had a fat content of over 30%--and it was a real treat to enjoy such a satisfying meal after a long time. However, there was one thing that made me hesitate to write this review: I experienced a lot of gas a few hours after eating. My digestive system is sensitive, so consuming poor-quality oils (like palm oil or old oil) tends to cause bloating for me. except for that, I was completely satisfied with everything. read more

Such a great spot! The Melt has a sleek, modern interior that makes it an easy go-to for any casual meal or quick bite. Ordering kiosk was efficient & well-designed. ​We tried both the patty melt and the grilled chicken salad--both were full of flavor and made to perfection. Craft sodas were decent as well. ​What really made our experience top-tier was Brandon! He provided superb service from start to finish and made us feel so welcome (he even hooked us up with some amazing, freshly baked cookies!). Do yourself a favor and definitely check out this location. Can't wait to be back! read more

Finally got to try The Melt in Brea! I've been wanting to try The Melt, and I finally made it in! I ordered the Impossible Burger with spicy cheese sauce and pepper jack cheese, along with fries and a strawberry milkshake. The ordering process was really easy. I used the kiosk, paid, received a beeper, and just waited for my order. The wait was a little slow, but the process itself was convenient and straightforward. The restaurant was clean inside, and I noticed about two staff members working during my visit. The Impossible Burger was actually pretty good! I really liked the spicy kick from the cheese sauce. My only suggestion would be to add a little more cheese or cheese sauce because I wanted more of that flavor. Next time, I'm thinking about trying the grilled cheese or maybe the grilled cheese with egg. Either way, I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

The workers here were so sweet and to top it off, they ended up passing around samples of a warm chocolate chip cookie. We were worried the double patty was going to be similar to Shake Shack in size and boy were we wrong. These were huge. I got the double Swiss and shroom meltburger and the meat was falling off the edge of the bread. I also tried the double spicy mission meltburger and really liked the spicy melt sauce. The tomato soup was good too but I don't recommend the grilled cheese croutons. They were so stale and not crunchy at all. You can order at the kiosks or with the cashier and there's plenty of tables indoor and outdoor. read more

The biggest problem with this mall was the lack of a third space. Now with a few new food options, it's almost a great place to hang out. The food here was great. We ordered the spicy melt and spicy chicken sandwich along with garlic Parmesan fries. Surprisingly, the chicken sandwich was the star of the meal. The chicken was thick, juicy,and hot! We highly recommend getting that. The burger was average and overly salted. There were a lot of flavors, but nothing stood out. There's a lot of things on the menu, we will definitely come back in the future. read more

Been here multiple times already and forgot to do a review. Oops! Located at the Brea Mall, this place is awesome if you're looking for a great burger! The wife and I shared a mushroom Swiss burger and a patty melt. The burger was amazingly juicy and tasted great! The patty melt was simple, but done well. I really enjoyed both of them. Definitely sign up for the rewards program though! I believe you might get a free fries from it. I wish I signed up sooner so I could get the points for all my other visits!!

Recently opened in the newly remodeled Brea Mall, the Melt is a can't miss stop for all your cheese needs. Walking in, you can either order at the kiosk or the counter. There's seating available outside and inside. We ordered the garlic chicken bacon mac and three cheese classic grilled cheese. The bread was perfectly crispy and buttery with the collection of cheeses melted to perfection. The mac was heavy on the garlic. While eating, they offered us free freshly baked chocolate chip cookies! read more

I was able to participate in a 5 star Yelp Elite experience here a little while back. Wanted to share the same love on their main Yelp page too.. I have enjoyed a couple meals here now and have zero regrets. The double BBQ bacon burger is a continued decent choice for me. The meat seems to lack flavor and the bacon is a little under cooked compared to the crispy texture I seek, but it all comes together and is a solid choice. The garlic parmesan fries are a hit! Excellent flavor, good portion size, turns the meal around for me.. The strawberry milkshake does not give me the flavor kick I seek, but is a "cozy" treat. The Brea mall is undergoing some awesome renovations. The Melt sits in an area that has flourished with new restaurants and a fun outdoor play area for kids. Seems more is coming too! Parking is very limited in the immediate area, but customers aren't far if they park in the Nordstrom parking garage against Randolph St. read more

I stopped in at The Melt after shopping. It's in the newly rebuilt area across from Nordstrom and Pottery Barn. I had the Avocado BaconMelt. It was fantastic. First off, my order was piping hot! The sandwich had perfectly salted bread that is crispy on the outside, but folds to perfection with each bite. Heads up, the avocado bacon melt has thinly sliced jalapeños with seeds inside it- so if you like a nice kick to your grilled cheese, this is for you! They have a bunch of other menu items including burgers and sweet potato fries. I also tried the strawberry lemonade. Yum! Atmosphere is casual, you receive a pager when you order in and then pick up at the counter. There a small patio out front for outdoor seating but you can also take your order to the little grassy area if you have kids or want to enjoy more open space. One other really nice thing, I think it might have been shift change when I was there because I overheard either the supervisor or manager give the staff a little pep talk about goals for the shift and it was really heartwarming to hear him be so kind to his staff. read more

After our comedy show we were looking for a spot to grab a bite and came across The Melt. Oh my did we make a great decision. The burgers were delicious. Their sauce was so good. It was quiet because it was a little late, but the staff was so friendly. Especially Jesse (I hope I got his name right). He was so sweet and welcoming. read more

Very good experience and quality for a new opening. The Melt is located outside of the mall in the new outdoor side (across from the eventual Lifetime). I parked at the Nordstrom structured and walked over. There was even indoor and outdoor seating which is a super nice option to have. Ordered: Swiss & shroom burger, steak and cheese sandwich, garlic Parmesan fries and sweet potato fries. Price 4/5. You're not spending an arm and leg for restaurant pricing and it's only slightly more than fast food pricing these days. Quality 4/5. The burger was pretty delicious. It didn't feel tooo heavy (even though it probably was). The sandwich could have been better without the extra cheese sauce but I could see people preferring an extra cheesy sandwich. Would just prefer extra real cheese in this case. I really enjoyed the sweet potato fries. It was airy and not too bland. Perfect compliment to a big meal. The cheesy Parmesan fries was tasty but a bit overkill with the other items. Maybe a good sharing option though. Oh. Lemonade was.. ok. Not sure if it's real lemonade or not. Super sweet but had to go for the full experience for a first timer. Overall I would come back again if I was craving a decent burger and fries meal. read more

The Melt at Brea Mall is a great spot for a casual meal with plenty of seating both inside and out. They have a varied menu with lots of options and substitution options such as grilled chicken we tried a burgers, grills chicken burger, sweet potato fries, and garlic Parmesan fries, all of which were very good. We also loved the specialty craft sodas, which added a fun touch to the meal. Overall, it was a satisfying and tasty stop, and we're glad we decided to check it out. read more

Great casual vibe at The Melt's newer location in Brea Mall. Ordering is easy with four self-service kiosks, or you can place your order with staff at the counter. There's plenty of seating both indoors and out on the patio. Double Meltburger ($15.79): Two chopped 1/3 lb beef patties, cheddar, jalapeño-pickle mix, and The Melt sauce on an artisan bun. The portion size is generous, but I'd skip the jalapeño-pickle mix next time (not a pickle fan) and go for just whole jalapeños instead. Takeout was packaged in a box, which made the bun soggy pretty quickly. Fries ($3.99): Thin-cut with The Melt seasoning. Slightly on the salty side, and like the burger, they didn't hold up well for takeout - soft and soggy fast in the paper bag. Steak & Cheese Sandwich ($12.49): Made with thinly sliced sirloin, provolone, grilled onions, red peppers, cheese sauce, and jalapeños. The cheese flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, so I probably wouldn't order it again, but the sandwich itself held together well. Strawberry Milkshake ($6.99): Must order! Made with real strawberries and vanilla ice cream, perfectly blended. I'd come back just for this. There are several designated takeout parking spots nearby, but even on a weekday they filled up quickly. read more

I was fortune enough to be able to try The Melt last week as part of a Yelp Elite event. I had an excellent dine-in experience then so I was excited to try them out again as a regular customer this time around. Here's what I ordered: **Original Meltburger: Added lettuce, tomato, and raw onion free of charge. It was a delicious burger so no complaints here. (5/5) **Spicy Crispy Sandwich: The chicken by itself was a little bland but everything else included enhanced the flavor. Their pickle-jalapeño mix and spicy melt sauce are absolutely delicious! I added lettuce and tomato free of charge and was a great choice. (4/5) **Steak & Cheese Sandwich: Delicious! There was a kick of spice from the jalapeños. The addition of red peppers and grilled onions were amazing. The overall sandwich was perfect but the meat was definitely on the saltier side. (4/5) **Sweet Potato Fries: Had a nice balance of salty and sweet. The portion for the fries were on the smaller side but overall, very good! (4/5 I had placed an order for pick-up via their online website for 1:30 PM on Monday (3/30/26). I arrived promptly at 1:30 PM and saw my name on the screen stating it was ready but nobody was at the front to greet me. There was a cook in the back fulfilling my order and another take-out customer's food which was fine. There was a crew member just hanging out in the back not acknowledging me or the people that had just entered behind me. I stood there awkwardly for a few minutes before the cook said he'd be right with us. That crew member lounging around in the back needs to be re-trained to greet customers as they enter the door especially for a new thriving business like this one. This is the only reason why this is a 4-star review instead of a 5-star review. read more

The Bottom Line Up Front: The Melt offers excellent hamburgers...at painfully high prices. The Food: I had the Double Meltburger, fries, and a fountain drink. I ordered the burger protein style (unless) and it was delicious. The patty was juicy and slightly pink, which was great since I like it medium rare -- most burger joints serve up well-done patties as a health precaution but they end up dry. The cheese was warm and gooey. The lettuce was crisp and clean. Meanwhile, the fries were outstanding. Crisp on the outside and warm on the inside. Seasoning was tasty without being overpowering. For the fountain drink, the Melt offers craft soda from a self-service dispenser, so I chose to combine the black cherry soda with the cola, creating my own cherry Coke. It was great! The only food-related complaint? The ketchup was runny. Like, tomato juice. There was almost no viscosity to it, resulting in a weird flavor that I chose to pass on after dipping the fries only a few times. The Service: The employees here may be young, but they were friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. Can't say enough good things about them. The Setting: Located in the new section of Brea Mall, the Melt is a freestanding building so you have to walk outside of the mall to access it from the southwest side. There's no street parking, so you'll need to park in the large parking structure across from Nordstrom (currently...but they are doing more construction so this could change in the future). Inside, it's clean, well organized, and has a rustic urban aesthetic with brick walls, warm lights, and minimalistic furniture. The Cost: This is my main complaint: the prices are crazy high for what is essentially a fast-casual restaurant. A burger, fries, and a drink -- you'll pay anywhere between $25 to $35. A hamburger dinner for two? $60! For what is basically fast food?!? The Conclusion: The Melt offers fantastic hamburgers at premium prices. It's also not the most convenient place to get to due to the parking situation. So, it's definitely a "special occasion" burger joint rather than a weekend favorite. read more

Ordered the Original Single Meltburger with side of Garlic Parmesan Fries. Staff were nice and inside was very clean. Lots of seating, two bathroom and outdoor protected patio seating. MELTBURGER was good, the meat quality was good and wasn't a smash burger. Might have needed salt and a little spicy for Mild. GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES were amazing and veryyyy good!! The garlic and Parmesan was great combination and salted well. MELTBURGER - 4/5 GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES - 5/5 WARNING!! Parking area very small, structure nearby but very small structure. Hard to move around structure and backing up you have to do 3-4 point turnarounds, kinda ridiculous how small. read more

first time trying the melt! I got a melt burger with no pickles and pickle/jalapeno mix and no melt sauce due to my allergies. I added lettuce, raw white onion, and raw jalapeños to my burger instead. The burger came out super juicy and tasted so good! However, I wish they had more sauce options as there was only mustard available. I ordered fries as well with no seasoning and it came out hot and delicious and crispy! They were the most perfect fries! My bf ordered a patty melt and it looked just as good even tho I did not try it. The workers were so helpful in checking to see if the melt sauce had tomato ingredients for me as well. I really appreciated them checking without getting annoyed! We also ordered a fountain drink which was craft soda so it tasted a lot better than Coke or Pepsi in my opinion. Hope to be back soon! read more

Let me say, not the greatest photos, sorry. The food at The Melt is great. It was super tasty and my very picky kid loved the Egg In A Hole. She ate the whole thing. My Italian Job was very tasty but was a bit much for me so I only ate half. I was really good and I fully enjoyed it. They also have natural sodas which are nice cause you dont get all the artificial stuff from the major brands. The staff is really great. They walk around to ask how you are doing and also if your lucky, they will bring by freshly baked chocolate chip cookie bites to taste. So Yummy! The location is easy to get to. It is at the Brea Mall but on the outside so it is its own facility and not a food court. read more

Review 39/365 Day Challenge Came here for Grand opening day/morning that opened at 10 a.m. when doors open 2.10.26 with a mama friend. It was a free Original melt burger for the 1st 100 customers. Which i and my mama friend were around the 15th-20th customer i want to say. They had spin a wheel for some free merchandise. I got a free T shirt and my friend got a free tote. Had a really good experience on grand opening so wanted to bring my family here to experience the Melt on Sunday 2.15.26 for dinner. What we ordered ~ The original melt burger single $ 10.79 was full filing for myself. It was a bit on the greasy side since it's Waygu patties. The sliced up jalapeño on there wasn't spicy at all and it was somewhat on the bland side. Wished it had more flavoring to the sauce of it. My husband and teen agreed to. ~ Three cheese classic melt was a delicious grilled cheese sandwich we all loved. the cheesy was grilled to perfection and wasn't oily with the bread it's served on. ~ cheddar bacon ranch fries were a fav, i requested Cheese on the side. The bacon bits topped on it and drizzled ranch was the best part . Definitely recommended $ 5.99 ~ strawberry lemonade is pre made in a cup right near register to grab when ordering. Isn't too sweet and perfectly citrus enough. ~ Craft soda fountain drink station available. They offer shakes, ice cream & cookies for dessert here. Received our items in a great timely manner and associates are friendly, welcoming. Lots of patio outdoor tables & seatings. Along indoor too. Restaurant decor was simple brick wall with cool saying marquee that the signs lit up. Located next to the Currently being built Ding Tai Fung and it's across from also currently being built North Italia restaurant. It's where the new wing came to the new addition of Brea mall where Sears use to be. Parking in the parking structure in front of Nordstrom Department store and there were a few right out front of restaurant.

Here for the free melt for being the first 100 people in line at 10AM. Haha. The Original Melt is pretty good. It's an Angus and Wagyu blend, very meaty and cheesy, on an artisan bun. Although I do wish it came with lettuce, tomatoes and onions without having to pay extra. Cool place and atmosphere for casual dining and hanging out. I love trying newly opened restaurants.

Went for a hamburger the other day. I must say it was one of the juiciest flavorful hamburgers I have ever had. The juice from the hamburger was flowing out of the burger.

Other than that a very good experience. read more

Wiper, I came here today to the melt in the mall we're greeted friendly by counter. Person ordered our food. My wife had a. Protein style hamburger I had the crispy chicken sandwich ordered fries first of all the fries were very good. My wife's burger was good, but she knows there were no tomatoes. They don't put tomatoes on any of their sandwiches here I noticed that. My chicken sandwich was very tasty though the breading came off the chicken very quickly and before I knew it I wasn't biting into crispy chicken I was just biting into chicken. The restaurant was very clean inside organized. They have an outside area which was a little dirty but other than that everything was pretty good whenever I come back or not I really haven't made up my mind yet. read more

First time. Just ordered from a kiosk. Haven't tasted any food yet so I don't know. Will need to update later: It's later, but not much later as the food came almost instantly. I ordered the Original Melt Burger. Seriously this was the juiciest burger I've had anywhere in the area. If you like dry shriveled up burgers that won't drip juice down your arm then do not come here. If you do come make sure you get plenty of napkins before sitting down. Got a side of Garlic Parmesan Fries to go with the burger, also excellent with fresh garlic and freshly grated parmesan. The soda fountain only serves Alameda craft sodas but you can get standard sodas in cans as well. Very friendly staff who brought our food and free cookie samples which was nice. The only reason it's not a 5 star review is our table rocked like a boat in a storm. Someone please adjust the legs of your tables. Until next time... read more
