    Kiosks to order from
    Janiah S.

    First time here though I've wanted to try for some time now. I like the corner space the have in the pilladio that allows for indoor and outdoor seating with a roll up door in between that gives the inside some welcomed fresh air. They have kiosks you can order from. I ordered the spicy burger and hubby ordered the double cheeseburger. We got a soda regular fries and tried the cookie. The burgers were so juicy and flavorful, the bun was a good quality bun. Ingredients tasted and appeared very fresh. THe jalapeños were sliced raw peppers and we so good on it. Hubby enjoyed his double cheeseburger too. They have condiment packets w mayo ketchup and mustard available, but you honestly don't need it at all because the burgers are tasty the way they are! The pickle on the side was delightful, super crunchy and flavorful. The fries had some sort of green seasoning on it, may have been finely chopped dill or parsley I'm not sure but worked well on the fries. The potion was a pleasant surprise too! We shared one and it was plenty for us. The sodas are natural sodas w real sugar! Big plus in my book! I'm not a soda drinker but when I splurge, it's nice to have this available. The ginger beer soda has a strong ginger flavor that I thoroughly enjoyed but hubby didn't care for. The root beer soda was also very tasty. The double chocolate cookie was cooked to perfection and the chocolate pieces were all melted and warm... sooooo good to top off an excellent meal! The spicy burger was 11.99 and the double cheeseburger was 15.99. The fries were 3.99. Last but definitely not least, an employee named Vic came to check on us and was genuine with making sure we were enjoying our meals and making sure we had everything we needed. Simple but thoughtful and sincere engagement makes dining here memorable. Thank you! We will definitely be back!

    DOUBLE MELT-BURGER with lettuce wrap
    Robert L.

    Pulled up to Melt in the Palladio to meet a friend who works nearby--she sent that "I need food" text and I took it as a mission. Parking here is abundant, which already puts you in a good mood because nothing kills a craving faster than circling a lot like you're in a scavenger hunt. Walked in and that grilled cheese smell hit immediately... any thought of eating light was gone just like that. The place felt clean, relaxed, no weird chaos, just people in there enjoying what they came for. Now the food... yeah this isn't that basic grilled cheese from back in the day, this is the grown version that shows up with confidence. I went with a double spicy mushroom melt lettuce wrap with a fried egg and a mini Mac on the side... yeah I made a decision and stood on it. Crispy, cheesy, a little messy in the best way, and that fried egg just took it to another level. Every bite had me pausing for a second like hold on... let me respect this. I'm sitting across from my friend trying to keep a conversation going but also fully focused on not missing a single bite. Portions don't mess around either, you're leaving full and already thinking about what you're getting next time. And then there's Vic... super polite, welcoming, just good people. He wasn't just behind the counter, he was moving around, checking on folks, asking how everything was, even offering cookies which caught me off guard in the best way. It didn't feel forced, it felt real, like he actually cares about the experience people are having. Everyone that walked in got that same energy. And I'll be honest, I never write reviews on the spot--I go home, sit down at my computer, and give it that extra flavor I like putting into my reviews... but this one? I was already running it back in my head before I even left the parking lot. Melt didn't just come through on the food, they made it feel like more than just a quick stop.

    We have not been in this area for a while now and we really enjoyed The Melt our first time here. One of the best burgers and melts we have had. We also loved their design, open air entrance providing a lot of refreshing outside air and breeze. The staff again was very helpful and friendly with their service. Als9 offerr8ng free samples of their chocolate chip cookies. The Double Melt was amazing , cooked perfectly, and so filling. The melts both had an awesome amount of cheese and they were sooooo stretchy. Also cooked and prepared well. The garlic parm fries were loaded with garlic and so tasty, blasting with garlic flavor in each bite. Can't wait to come back to this area soon to have another bite.

    Came here for a quick bite the other night. Very cool looking place, trendy, and kept very clean. The grilled cheese was actually pretty decent along with the side of a pickle. Kind of wish they offered a little bit more with a combo, like fries or chips. Maybe they did but this is what we grabbed. I also had a side Cobb salad that was OK. Wasn't anything extraordinary, but I think more of their attention goes into their burgers and sandwiches. The meat in the salad was pretty bland nothing worth bragging about. They have a different brand of sodas there and I thought those are OK. I would recommend this place. Located in the Palladio which is always very nice to walk around it. Customer service was good. We were greeted once we entered and we were acknowledged when leaving.

    Garlic fries. Pattymelt and melt burger

    Went to the aquarium down tjew street and needed something quick before our next animal encounter. We walked in here and were warmly greeted. Lacy helped us out and answered all our questions. The food was ready in a matter of minutes and we had no complaints. The garlic fries used fresh garlic and we loved them with all the sauces they gave us. 10 out of 10 HIGHLY recommend.

    I've been here several times since the Yelp event was held here a few years back. The food is consistent and satisfies the craving for a burger. Everything tastes fresh to me and high quality. The burgers are always good. This last time I came here, I ordered a Cesar salad with grilled cheese croutons and a side of Mac and cheese (lent). The food was not bad. I would've preferred a burger, but glad they have non meat options. My sister got the chicken sandwich and my brother in law got the bbq Bacon burger. They both really enjoyed their food as well. We will definitely be back, but probably to the location closer to Sacramento. Great place to enjoy. The food can get heavy though, and not the healthiest. In the warmer season, they also have concerts at this plaza so parking will be difficult Friday evenings.

    A great place to get a decadent "naughty", cheesy, high quality meal that's not your usual "fast food"! We had the patty melts and shared the garlic Parmesan fries, and the hubs got a vanilla shake. The patty melts were cooked to order and to Our "doneness" as far as meat goes, and the meal was super good! They give you dipping sauces for the fries/patty melt and everything was delicious! The meat was high quality and the prices were fair for what you get! The staff was super nice and professional and the restaurant was REALLY cool inside, clean, and welcoming! I love the general vibe in here and the huge roll up garage type door added a nice element to the space. It's great places like The Melt exist in a sad sea of endless mass chain type eateries! I'd rather spend my hard earned money at places like this one!

The inside needs a refresh with the decor imo. I feel like it could be amazing if they followed through with either the prison or dam theme more. Smoky inside and needs more ventilation. **adding that after reading reviews, I don't love how the owner addresses concerns toward visitors.

She took our order and didn't even have a pad or pencil. I thought well, it's just the two of us, but I saw her at the next table, 4 people with lots of options and she didn't need to write a thing down. We started with drinks and candied bacon. Just great! Hardly anyplace has diet coke, only Pepsi, but LZ has my diet coke. Thank you! We each ordered from the $15 menu. Me some sort of BBQ bacon cowboy burger thing and my wife had shrimp tacos. I asked for medium rare and it came medium rare. The lettuce and tomato slice were cold, the burger hot and the bun warm. Right, Right, Right. I substituted fries for onion rings and got plenty. The oil was good, not the freshest, but that's o.k. too. Some sort of dipping sauce, no ketchup, but after tasting the sauce, I didn't need any ketchup anyway. I did salt the burger and rings, but that's just me. Most folks would find them seasoned well enough as they were. The meal comes with individual sized dessert. I had some sort of brownie/ice cream thing which was awesome! My wife had the banana pudding. It was exactly like homemade. The wafers were fresh, not soggy, the pudding cold and chilly. While the brownie was warm with gooey sauce and a solid scoop of ice cream. All was right with dessert. The only thing I would have liked was our waitress to check on refills, but I did fine as it was a tall glass to begin with. We were on our way to Harris Center for a concert and this was a great place to hang out before and probably after too, if we were with another couple.

Then I went with the bibimbap with an egg, and that dish came out hitting on all levels. Flavor, texture, heat... it all worked. One of those meals where you slow down a bit just to enjoy it. Add in good company and the whole thing just lands different. Shoutout to our waitress too--super attentive, friendly, and made everything feel smooth without hovering.

Good food, good people, and a perfect way to close out the weekend.

    I love trying new restaurants when I travel and Manderes came up on a search using AI. I wasn't…read moresure what to expect as it was hard to see inside the restaurant from the street. Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised to find what looked and felt like a local upscale pub with a large bar with TVs and various tables scattered around. The menu offers something for everyone, and the portions are generous. I opted to start with the garlic bread with a dipping sauce, followed by the Southwestern chicken salad entree special. The bread crust had garlic baked onto it, and the dipping sauce was huge and flavorful. The Southwestern salad exceeded my expectations. It was huge! The chicken was grilled and blackened and cooked to perfection and served on a bed of fresh lettuce with black beans, chopped onions, and blue cheese with a spicy dressing that was fantastic. The dish was so good that I'm tempted to go back tomorrow night. If you're looking for a casual dining spot with a friendly local vibe and amazing food, Manderes fits the bill! I appreciated the fact they had a couple of NA beer options along with a nice selection of beer on tap. Highly recommend!
