    Service was extremely attentive! Came in for a quick spicy chicken sandwich and garlic fries. Both were really good! Will be back, thanks! :)

    Our burgers were delicious. So much food. Garlic fries are heaven. Parking kind of sucks but it's Davis so kind of used to that. Pretty busy little place, but the food is worth it.

    I just wanted to try this California chain burger shop. It's located close to Trader's Joe. My favorite burger in California is of course In-N-Out double double so compare to that, price is double in this place. It is not smash burger. Oily. Garlic Parmesan fries are also too oily... Tomato soup is good I only could finish half of them.

    DOUBLE BBQ BACON MELTBURGER
    Lou H.

    My mouth is watering as I write this review, remembering the melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness I experienced here. I got a double bbq bacon burger but could've gone with a single as they're hearty. As a side I got sweet potato fries which are enough for 2 people to share. The soda fountain is a variety of natural sodas, which I ended up liking more than I thought. Finally they had cookies my buddy's kids loved. My buddy had a steak sandwich which he said tasted like a Philly but he wished he would've gotten a burger as both his kids liked their cheeseburgers. To sum it up it was a greasy mess, but one of the best burgers I've ever had. I'll be sure to come back next time I'm in the area. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

    A special thank you to Alizeya, who was genuinely friendly and welcoming. Great customer service makes a difference :) The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and nice and cool inside on hot Davis days. There's also plenty of outdoor seating. It was perfect for us to split a burger with my two pups.

    This was my first time at this location - the food is just as great as any other Melt restaurant. There was plenty of seating inside & some outdoor patio seating as well. The music/people made it a bit loud inside so I sat outside, which was perfect. You can order from an employee or at a kiosk. The staff was nice & the wait wasn't too long for peak lunch time. Both the Melt Burger & the crispy chicken sandwich were amazing - came out hot too. The best thing to top off the meal was the garlic Parmesan fries. Bonus: add the garlic from the fries to your sandwich I'll definitely be back to this location soon!

    CHEDDAR BACON RANCH FRIES
    Tanya B.

    Reading the menu I was beyond excited to try this place... the burgers and the fries both sounded amazing! I ordered the melt burger and was expecting a tiny punch... something to show there was a jalapeño sauce in there somewhere but nothing. I had one small diced jalapeño piece in the whole thing. The burger meet was ok. I added avocado and that was fresh and delicious, with enough to cover the whole burger. The ranch cheddar bacon fries were ok, but honestly bland?! I couldn't believe it... they looked like they'd be packed full of flavor and it was just bland. I will go back and get again but I wasn't left desiring more.

    Melt is back in Davis and this spot looks very modern. I like the kiosks for ordering and the signage/decor. Spicy chicken sandwich: B- Chicken is huge, plus very crispy. Spice level is mild-medium, mostly coming from the jalapenos and sauce. Would have liked spicy seasoning added to the chicken directly. I like potato buns but this Bun was a bit too soft, would have liked it toasted. The sandwich is really moist so it is a mess to eat. Fries: A Superb fries, I think these are perfect. Thin cut, crispy, and well seasoned.

    The Melt is a great choice for a burger or grilled cheese sandwich in Davis. The restaurant is beautiful and it is very easy to order your food there as they have either a kiosk you can select food from or the traditional counter. My biggest advice when it comes to the Melt is to eat the food there and DINE IN! I say this because if you go for their burger or grilled cheese, the absolute best version of it will be when it comes out to you. My first Melt experience was a to-go order. When I brought it home the cheese had solidified again and the burger lost all its magic. When the burger is fresh, it is incredible! I loved it so much! So just make sure you DINE IN! The burgers are great and full of flavor. I really enjoyed the unique relish/pickle stuff that they put in the cheese. It's a great flavor addition to the burger. The grilled cheeses were amazing as well. I got a chance to take a bite of my friend's sandwich and it was heavenly. If you get it with jalapenos just be careful as they are spicy! The mac and cheese is good and very well portioned, but I found it to be less enjoyable than other places. It has a very hearty taste and can fill you up quickly. The cheese they use is also a bit more of a mature taste which I definitely didn't prefer. Overall The Melt is a wonderful restaurant and one that I'd happily return to!

    Cookies and Cream Milkshake
    Lindsey L.

    The food was amazing. I tried The Melt burger and the double cheeseburger two separate times and this hit the spot after a long day. The milkshakes were also delicious but once it melts it starts to feel a little too sweet which is a given. The Garlic fries, however, are SO GARLICY AND SO DELICOUS. It makes my mouth water thinking about it. If you are coming with another person get a milkshake and garlic friends to share and burger each. It is the perfect portion size. It is also a great studying place because of how big the seating area is. There is also wifi in there so it makes it even better for staying here a little longer. Sometimes the workers come by and give samples. I tried the chocolate chip cookie sample and it was so soft and delectable. Would come here again!

    The service was quick and the inside very spacious. Quickly got my burger after ordering! Meltburger - 8/10 Really nice size for the price, wonderful salty patty. I wish it came with tomato, lettuce, and onions, but that's on me. Wonderful with the pickle and ketchup. Would definitely get again, with some tweaks.

    CLASSIC CRISPY CHICKEN
    Cameron C.

    Solid place to grab a burger and fries. Here is an honest review. Burger & Chicken Sandwich - Average, nothing special Fries - Better, I liked the amount of garlic and cheese Soda - Freakin' fire! Had to taste them all and mix together. Super carbonated too! Milkshake - Not worth, no Oreo chunks or malt, mostly just soft serve :(

    I've been wanting to try Mendocino Farms since I heard they were opening in Davis, and I finally…read moremade it over to the new location on Russell Boulevard. I'm glad I did because everything was delicious. I ordered the pork belly banh mi and a cup of the Greek lemon chicken and farro soup. The banh mi was definitely the highlight. The pork belly was moist, tender, chewy, and really flavorful, and the crunchy vegetables added a great contrast. The ciabatta was perfectly soft with just a little bit of grilling and worked really well with everything in the sandwich. It was also a pretty substantial portion. I could only finish half and took the other half home for my son to try. The Greek lemon chicken and farro soup was also really good. I would have loved a little more lemon zing to it, but that's really my only critique of the food. Tenisha helped me during my visit and was super friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression for a new location. My lunch came in just under $30, so it's definitely on the pricier side for a sandwich-and-soup lunch. That said, everything tasted fresh and high quality, with plenty of protein and vegetables, and the pricing seems pretty comparable to the other options in this newly updated shopping area. Overall, this was a great first visit. The food was fresh, delicious, and felt like a healthier lunch option without sacrificing flavor. I've been waiting for Mendocino Farms to open and went a little out of my way to finally try it, and it was absolutely worth the trip. I'll definitely be back.

The restaurant has such a cute, quaint diner feel, with a mix of booths and tables that makes it feel cozy and casual. I also loved the little tile decorations featuring fruits and veggies throughout the space. And the menu is written in chalk, which adds to that old-school neighborhood diner charm. The guy with the piercings at the register was especially nice. He was super helpful when we were ordering, and we loved his smile and attitude. You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys helping people, and he definitely made a great impression on us. We ordered the Mediterranean Crepe, Greek Delight Crepe, and Chorizo & Egg Breakfast Burrito, along with hot chocolate, coffee, and a sweet macchiato. The Mediterranean Crepe was savory and packed with Mediterranean flavors, while the Greek Delight Crepe had that delicious combination of fresh, bright flavors that made every bite enjoyable. The Chorizo & Egg Breakfast Burrito was hearty and satisfying, with flavorful chorizo and fluffy eggs wrapped up in a warm tortilla. Definitely the kind of breakfast that hits the spot after walking around the market! For drinks, we had hot chocolate, coffee, and a sweet macchiato. The hot chocolate was warm and comforting, the coffee was perfect for a morning pick-me-up, and the sweet macchiato gave us a nice little something sweet to sip on with breakfast. Everything came out pretty quickly, especially considering how busy they were, and everything was delicious! It was such a nice stop after the Farmer's Market, and we'll definitely be back. Cute diner atmosphere, good food, quick service, and genuinely friendly people--what's not to love? Definitely a place to add to the list if you're in the area!

Yes, parking can be tough when the students come back, but that's how it always is in Davis. The food here is great! I've had several of their savory crepes and I love them all whereas my cousin always gets one of their sweet crepes. This time I tried the "savory crepe" which had shrimp, pesto, Parmesan, bell peppers, and I think mushrooms if I remember correctly. I LOVED it. So delicious! And so much food! It came with a "half salad" which I got to choose, so I chose the Fuji salad, it was huge! It was the size of a regular salad! All of this for $19. I also got the ginger shot mixed in carrot juice which I loved. You order at the counter and then receive a number and choose your own table, then they bring your order to you when you are ready. Everyone was very nice, and patient, and helpful. We stayed in the restaurant until closing and they never rushed us out. There is tons of seating inside and outside! I will keep coming back here over and over. I love their crepes!

    Theres sooo much hype about this place so we went to go try!!…read more Its in very rural davis-ish. Its like a plot of dirt then the lil stand. They have their famous pies as well as produce and some other stuff, but its a very small shop with like 4 tables outdoors. Def a stop on your way somewhere, not necessarily a destination. Their pie slices were like $8 a slice and a whole pie was $30. They also had many more options for whole pies vs pie slices, but its possible its because we went later in the day? They had some savory pies, cold pies, but mostly baked pies like peach, various berries, etc! They also have fruit freezes you can purchase too! We ended up sharing a banana cream pie and i got a peach pie too. The banana cream pie was HEFTY. It was HEAVY and PACKEDDDD. A LOT of cream a LOT of banana filling. Very yummy though and feeds a lot more people than you'd think. The peach pie was also very good! Im not a huge "cooked fruit" person and neither is mt family but we demolished the pie. The peaches were a surprisingly nice texture! And the crust was very good. $30 is a bit steep but if theyre using fresh fruits and baking them fresh its worth a stop if youre in the area!

The Davis location is much smaller than the original Auburn one as it looks more like a large indoor farmstand than a restaurant.

We drove 2 hours the weekend before her arrival to pick up a frozen one that we just need to defrost in the fridge overnight. But coming in at 2 lbs and only 3 days to eat it, had to freeze 1/3 of it so it will pass TSA and make it on her flight back East. Wonder if this is the most traveled pie outside of shipping it across country.
