Came here for a delicious lunch and The Melt did not disappoint! I was greeted by a friendly cashier ready to take my order. I originally was craving a tuna melt, but when I saw they had Impossible burgers, I changed my mind and ordered one. I also got a side of tomato bisque (comforting on a rainy day) and a fountain soda. The cheery cashier recommended mixing black cherry and orange soda, and it was refreshing! Highly recommend trying The Melt. They've got such a wide variety of sandwiches and burgers, you'll be sure to find one that satisfies your craving. read more

The staff at The Melt was nice and friendly. I tried the steak and cheese, which had good flavor, though some parts were unexpectedly spicy. The garlic Parmesan fries were also enjoyable. While the food was decent, the pricing felt a bit high for what it is. The store itself was clean and well-decorated. read more

Good food, this place is awesome. The food is good and the owner is very nice. Would go back!

Delicious burger + sweet potato fries. Will say that it is VERY filling, though, so come hungry! Definitely get your money's worth. Staff were friendly, even apologetic, because it took "a while" when it truly didn't take long at all. Fun, mall location. Make sure to stop in! read more

If you love S Tier Mac & Cheese you have to go try the Melt, and give them a shot because they have way better cheese than McDonald's. You order on an IPad so that's a quick plus if you want to do it the express way. My order was the Melty Mac with Bacon and it was fire, it tasted so good 100x better than Kraft Mac, so take that Kraft because The Melt Mac & Cheese is made with real ingredients, and tastes like it's made from scratch and has a nice crunchy outside, with a soft inside, which is needed when you want to get good Mac & Cheese. You have got to come here when you're at the Spectrum because it is the best place to get some really good quality cheesy things. read more

Met up with the bf here for lunch and almost made the mistake of going to the pho place before my better judgment led me to decide to check Yelp to make sure it was a prudent choice. Luckily, I caught myself and also looked at the pasta place before finding the Melt. I didn't want anything too heavy and opted for a cup of their tomato bisque with a side of garlic parmesan fries, while the bf ordered the Sicilian chicken sandwich per our cashier's suggestion and 2 strawberry lemonades. There was nary anyone there on a weekday before noon so it was quick service. There were fresh garlic and grated Parmesan on the fries and you could taste how fresh the ingredients are. The sandwich was perfect dipped in the bisque, french dip style and was the perfect portion for 2 without feeling super weighed down afterwards. would definitely come back here again for lunch. read more

Jordan was great! Made my meal experience way better even if it was late at night. Staff is friendly.

Tasty food, clean space, and friendly staff! My go to for a bite when shopping at spectrum

the staff there was very nice and helpful, the food was very good, well made, and the order was correct. The place was also clean.

Husband ordered the BBQ Bacon Meltburger. I got the Three Cheese Classic grilled cheese. My husband said it was probably one of the best burgers he's ever had! The burger was very big! My grilled cheese was very good as well. Will definitely come back. read more

This is a great place to get a good quality burger or chicken sandwich in the Irvine Spectrum. The sandwiches are sizable but not too big, and they're generous with their portions of fries too. You can order both on the tablet or at the counter, and the cashiers are always friendly and chatty. There are plenty of places to sit both inside and out and makes for a great lunch spot for nearby workers. My go-to is their mushroom-swiss burger and that never disappoints. read more

We came here pretty late from the bass pro shops down the street. The perfect review I can give it is "OK". You order through a kiosk, no biggie. Customer Service is very limited. Restroom was extremely dirty (lowkey grossed me out). Seating area was a little unkept as well. The food is okay. It's overpriced for what it is. It's not something I would ever go back for or crave but if I am at the Irvine Spectrum and am wanting a chicken sandwich, I would stop by but consider options heavily. Overall, it's overpriced fast food with small portions. read more

I went to The Melt at Irvine spectrum today. First time. I ordered at the kiosk, a melt burger with no sauce. They have pagers there, which I put the number in in order for them to page me. When my order was ready. 20 minutes later I still had no food. There was only one person inside the restaurant. I went up to the counter and asked what was going on with my order. The girl asked me what my pager number was and I told her it was 72. I told her nobody paged me. She said she already made it!! And I said so, where is it and she said I'll just make you another one and I repeated my question again. Well, where is it if you already made it and she repeated her answer I'll just make you another one and then asked her. Did you throw it away?? And she said no I'll just make you another one at this point I gave up and asked for my money back as I was leaving the girl said I think we gave his order to somebody else. She should've just said in the beginning that she inadvertently gave it to somebody else, but she didn't lousy way to start a relationship. I will never go back to the melt again. read more

Food was great, the staff was kind, the environment was beautiful and very clean. I will be eating here again.

Ommgg!! Super good melty deliciousness!! Irvine isn't that great when it comes to food for me. Everything just seems super generic sometimes. Really glad we found this place. I'm a lover of all things cheesy and this place hit the mark for me!! Mac Daddy is definitely a go to! Best of both worlds. Bacon sammy with the Mac and cheese inside! YUMM!! MELTBURGER is the best smash burger I've had in a long time. Definitely appreciate the flavors and that it stays warm and delicious when being delivered. Little tip: Order directly from their website and it's actually cheaper than the 3rd party delivery services! Will definitely order again and again! read more

The good, the chicken sandwich. Crunchy, fresh, thick, juicy. Fresh crisp jalapeños, the bun I cannot guarantee was as fresh as it should be. The sauce was a seven out of 10. Super hefty price, almost twice Chick-fil-A. It's 7.5 out of 10 in quality and taste, but when you baseline the price, it's more like a five. Additionally, the fresh brewed iced tea, definitely a nine out of 10. You get a pickle with your sandwich. I was handed something that looked like it had sat out of the brine for a day or two or maybe he was in the freezer, I asked for a fresh pickle and got something crunchy and beautiful. The less than good. The cleanliness. OMG. The touchscreen ordering is disgusting. Splotches of grease. The surfaces and floors, and it was only a Wednesday and the kids were back in school so not summertime. Pretty appalling. I do have to support the business as they have a gentleman who has a disability working and he was awesome and helpful and courteous and kind. First time trying, likely will not return. read more

First time trying melt My Wife loves a patty melt so that's what we went with nice buttery toasted bread. The hamburger patty was fine. The only disappointing thing I opened my half of the sandwich and added some mustard and noticed I had no grilled onions. The whole sandwich was lacking, grilled onions, so the patty melt was just basic. We did enjoy the Parmesan garlic fries nice and crispy well seasoned next time we will try the Caesar salad and a different sandwich.. read more

My daughter wanted to eat at the Melt during lunch time. Wasn't very busy. We ordered and waited. 10 minutes went by so we checked the progress of the order and said it had been sent to the kitchen. We waited another 10 minutes went and everyone around us already ate and left. When we checked again, the staff said they didn't get the order but somehow when they looked, surprise, they found it. So it took 25 min to get a grilled cheese sandwich when it wasn't busy. At least the person behind the count could have been more sincere and apologetic about it. read more

This is good comfort food served fast. If you like Mac and cheese and are at the Spectrum, this is the place to come. I had the melty Mac along with cheddar bacon fries and a chocolate shake. I loved the creamy deliciousness of the Mac and cheese. The fries were bomb too. The shake was thick and tasty. Service was very good too. read more

Today i tried a spicy chicken sandwich, regular chicken sandwich and their burger. If im being completely honest, the spicy sandwich was good but the burger tasted a bit bland, not just that my bottom bun was all greasy and oily so i had to eat it flying dutchman style. The regular crispy chicken sandwich was also bland almost had no flavor compared to the spicy. I do suggest you try their fries though! I believe that i probably just ordered the wrong thing but i will be back to try the mac and cheese! Place was clean and the employees good. Rating is mostly on the food read more

Food was delicious. Staff were nice but we used the kiosk to order. There's not much seating inside but you can sit outside just find a shady spot so it's not too hot. Will eat there again. read more

Food was not good. Meat tasted sour, unsure if it was expired. Garlic Parmesan fries had a lot of salt, as if someone dropped the shaker on them. Very disappointed. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get a quick meal at the Spectrum. It's located in food court row by Dave & Busters, and there's easy parking nearby in the main parking structure. My favorite is probably the Mac Daddy sandwich. Mac n cheese, bacon, on a grilled cheese! I had them add raw onion, and changed the bread to the spicy garlic bread, so good! They offer order kiosks, and these make it easy to customize your options on your meal. They also text you when your order is ready, and they have a frequent buyer program. read more

The food was delicious my family was super happy it took 20 minutes to get their order. They said it was juicy burgers ! First time for us we definitely will come back! read more

Super yummy grilled cheese! Hit the spot on a nice Sunday afternoon. Staff were quick and friendly, I like the way they have order kiosks, buzzers, and a screen with your order to see when it's ready. Wish there was more chicken, but for less than $10 this was a wonderful find. Will be back! read more

Delicious, cheesy, crunchy, and so good! Tonight was my family's first time trying The Melt, even though we've walked by many times since it opened. We ordered the cheese bacon ranch fries, and a Patty melt, which was the perfect cross between a cheeseburger and grilled cheese. The melt was full of flavor with Dijon, grilled onions, and provolone, while the fries were salty and had the right amount of creamy cheese sauce. Overall, I love the ambiance. It's easy to self order through the kiosks or from one of the friendly staff. There's plenty of outdoor seating and limited indoors, but it is always really popular and busy, so we got lucky to get a chance to try it out today. Definitely, we will be back! read more

The food was okay but they messed up my order, I asked for a bbq bacon burger with lettuce, tomato, and no pickles with a regular fry. They gave me the burger with no lettuce, tomato, and no onions? They also gave me the pickle on the side which isn't a huge deal except I am mildly allergic. They also gave me sweet potato fries instead of a regular fry. When I came in they were really busy so I see the confusion between a bunch of different orders, but before sending them out they should check the stickers that are literally on the plate that say the order. read more

There are a lot of little places to eat at in Irvine. Some are big chain restaurants, others are standalone restaurants that have a loyal following, and then there are some that might have a few locations here and there. The Melt is one of those places that has multiple locations throughout California. So, you have options while traveling throughout the state. I have been to the Downtown Los Angeles location and to this one in Irvine. The Melt is located at The Irvine Spectrum Shopping Center. It is closer to the parking structure on the northwest side of the property. The Spectrum can become a bit busy, so have some patience while looking for parking. The restaurant itself is very small. There is a small amount of patio seating and about 4-5 tables inside. People typically combine the tables together to accommodate larger parties, so seating is very limited both inside and outside. It is also very cramped inside. You can order from the counter or customize your selection from the kiosk. The menu is pretty straightforward and has a lot of cheese-infused items. Hence the name, The Melt! They have burgers, salads, grilled cheese, and fries. You can also add any of their milkshakes, pastries, or craft sodas to your order. I typically get the impossible burger since I don't eat red meat. They have the most delicious, melty cheese placed on top of the "burger". Their garlic cheese fries are also pretty good. However, it is their melty mac n cheese that has my heart! The pasta noodles are large in size, the cheese is so creamy, and their bread crumbs top it off, making it a delicious addition to your meal. I seriously love their mac n cheese! I cannot vouch for anything else on the menu since I'm limited with what I can eat, but their impossible burgers and mac n cheese are great! I really like The Melt! This location is very small and you do feel claustrophobic when you're inside on busy days. However, I feel that it is worth your while to check it out at least once. It takes a while for your food to be prepared, but it's definitely worth the wait. Stop by and check it out for yourself. Most of my friends liked this place and maybe you will too! read more

Tried this spot and it's definitely one of the weaker options that are available in Irvine spectrum. The burger I had was quite greasy, and the fries were dry. read more

Hands down one of the best casual food spots in Irvine. The Melt's sandwiches are loaded, cheesy, and full of flavor. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the staff was super welcoming. Perfect place for lunch or a quick dinner. read more

Haven't been to Irvine Spectrum in a couple of years. We were looking for a quick bite before driving back home and I usually like anything melt whether it's grilled cheese sandwiches or melt burger. Stumbled upon this place towards the parking garage. You can order in-person or use the tablets organized inside to place your order. It was pretty simple and convenient to place my order. I ordered their Patty Melt and Garlic Parmesan Fries. The Patty Melt was a nice wagyu patty that included onions, swiss cheese and spicy mustard. The bread was artisan bread. First bite (along with the rest) was delicious. Definitely enjoyed their Patty Melt here. Also nice size portion. Their garlic parmesan fries was ok. Definitely filled with garlic parmesan. Bit salty but it was ok. Though I didn't sit inside, it was clean and modern looking. They also have patio outside for additional seating. Service was good; staff were nice. Definitely would come again. read more
