    Was out in the area and decided to grab something quick we never been here so decided to give it a try Customer Service is lacking Placed our order found a seat inside to sit and it was pretty messy table was dirty and floor We waited about 15min went up to get our food Everything was fine sandwich was barely full it was a bit over toasted and the pickle on the side was dry Overpriced for what we received

    MELTBURGER

    Finally decided to try this place and walking in and walking out a handful of times. I never feel like paying $15 for grilled cheese sandwich. So I ended up getting a burger. The burger was fine. Good brioche bun but the patty was basic and barely any spread. It's a big burger - 1/3 pound patty but underwhelming in flavor. Nice location at the spectrum but parking there is always tough.

    Got some lunch over at The Melt in Irvine Spectrum Center. Located next to Panda Express, Chipotle and Yogurtland. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, a grilled cheese, fries, and a Philly cheese steak melt. Everyone enjoyed their meals. There is a soda fountain to self serve and they also have specialty drinks behind the counter. Super refreshing on a hot day like today! Awesome service. I think it was Amanda who helped me. She was great!

    Came by with my granddaughter. Service was very helpful in sharing what options there were for kids. My granddaughter decided on the Mac - n - cheese and apple slices. She devoured it all. Great first experience.

    Located at Irvine Spectrum seating is inside and outside, but restaurant itself is small in the inside. They have multiple kiosk to order which helps out a lot this place gets crowded. The food was made fresh so it took a bit, wish I got the sandwiches instead of a burger. The prices are a bit high, but the quality of the food was good.

    Cute little place inside the spectrum Seating inside and outside patio Well kept and maintained Food is made to order Ingredients are fresh and tasty App ordering works well You can customize items too Nice to add fresh jalapeños to your order!!! Staff is helpful

    It was very easy to place my order on the mobile app. I wish it would allow me to select dine in when ordering because it automatically submits the order as a to go. It's a waste of paper packaging and it makes the fries a little soggy. They were really nice about it when I mentioned the soggy fries and actually made me a new order. That was unnecessary but definitely appreciated. The three cheese classic was yummy. With a beautiful cheese pull and perfectly crispy and buttery bread. My favorite part of the meal was the snickerdoodle shake. That's my go to flavor of shake. The texture is so creamy and the flavor is soooo amazing! Love it so much!

    My kids really enjoy this place. It's easy. There's something to find for everyone. They have some very good options. The food is fresh and fast. It's easy to use the app. I really like using the app. It's really making it a much more pleasurable experience when you're in a rush. The bathroom is not the cleanest, but the place is usually pretty well. They have a good drink selection. There are milkshakes are excellent.

    i always love stopping by the melt for a quick dinner pick-up with the bf. the self-serve kiosks are so convenient, and our orders are always ready so quickly, which makes it an easy go-to. i also really appreciate that they have impossible burger options that are both affordable and delicious. that said, their melty mac is also one of my favorites and something i find myself coming back for every time. a solid and reliable spot for a quick and satisfying meal. also randomly, love their wall decor. very punny, very cute. 10/10 :)

    I've seen The Melt for years but did not realize they serve more than just grilled cheese because I never stepped inside the store until recently to look at their menu. So I came back and ordered a burger for my husband tonight. They were busy as most restaurants there on a Friday night. Hubby really liked his burger. He said it was "pretty good". Meat was good quality meat (supposed to be Wagyu beef, according to their menu description). It was thick and juicy.

    Solid burger restaurant that is on the higher price range and quality. You order at the counter and they give you a ringer to pickup your order. The food is good and ingredients are fresh. Everything is clean and there is indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are friendly and helpful.

    Spicy burger
    Cat B.

    Visited the melt at the Irvine spectrum on Saturday afternoon. Got a mac daddy and hubby ordered a spicy chicken sandwich that he said was saucy and yummy with yummy garlic parmesan fries. You can place your order at the counter or at the kiosk. I had visited a melt for the first time in San Jose a year ago and they only had orders taken at a kiosk. I remember feeling annoyed at that location because I was standing there for several minutes and no employee directed me to their kiosk. I ordered at the counter. This location was quite busy and loud. Service was good. An employee asked how our food was shortly after receiving it and another employee brought a free burger item that hubby ate and said was not bad. Soda options by Alameda. Overall good experience at this Melt.

    Do y'all know if they sell their pickles in a jar because they are genuinely the best pickles I have ever tasted (I don't like the store bought ones)?

They love the soda machine that has so many combinations of things to try. I've been trying to venture out and try different things, but my favorite sandwich is the grandstand turkey. They have really good salads as well. We've tried the Chinese chicken and the chimichurri steak. We've also enjoyed their milkshakes. They will rotate in specials every so often so they have different things to try out. The fries are also a hit but the onion rings are especially delicious as long as they aren't overcooked. That's the only thing that I will say that sometimes they have a little bit too much fry on them, but I still manage to finish them off! Their staff is very friendly and eager to please. They tend to have sports playing on their big screens and a steady flow of traffic around lunchtime. Every time I go, I say I'm gonna try the chili cheese hotdog so hopefully next time I can let you know how it is.

Perfect kick and packed with flavor. ​The Classic Burger: Stupendous. A timeless, perfectly executed burger. ​The Hole in the Wall Burger: Mind-blowing! An absolute must-try signature item. ​If you are anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and get here as soon as possible. I'll definitely be making a point to come back!

We got the Hole in the Wall Burger, Spicy chicken sandwich, and brick fries. They do their own custom blend in the burger so it's perfectly and deliciously fatty. The chicken sandwich was juicy and the cut was thick. The fries are cross cut tempura battered, and the brick style includes the mom's special sauce, grilled onions, and cheese. If you look at the menu from years past, you'll see that the price has only changed by $1 in the past 5 or 6 years. It's very impressive that they can keep the prices low so the average joe isn't priced out of a humble burger joint. Much respect to the family that owns this place. Y'all just earned a customer for life.

The staff were friendly and attentive. We arrived right before the dinner rush. The place had TVs on and music playing. It seemed like a fun place to eat and hang out. One of the staff mentioned how they were packed last weekend with all the FIFA games. We ordered take out - a classic Hammer Burger, a half order of chili cheese fries, and a small order of onion rings. Sauce station was near the soda, you could get whichever ones you liked. Despite our 15 minute drive home, the food was still warm and really delicious. The burger had good flavor with and without their house sauce. The chili cheese fries were skinny fries with a cheese sauce and bean-less chili. The chili was filling and had a little kick to it. The batter-fried onion rings were (still) crispy and yummy with both ranch and the house sauce. We will definitely be back to fill our smashburger and chili cheese fries cravings!
