THREE CHEESE CLASSIC and FRIES
Paige K.

On my hunt to find the best grilled cheese and tomato soup combo, we decided to give The Melt a try. Looking at the photos and reviews, I knew we were in for a treat! Unrelated to the restaurant, but parking at this center is a nightmare. Perhaps it was super busy as it was a Sunday afternoon, but we struggled to find parking. Never any fun in the AZ summer heat. Luckily, the restaurant had a really good AC system, so we were comfortable again within a few minutes. There are ordering machines at the front where you can order and customize each item as much as you'd like. Upon checking out, there are numbered buzzers you plug in to tie with your order and they'll go off when your order is ready. Service was quick, our order was ready in less than 10 minutes from ordering. We both opted to get grilled cheese sandwiches and split the tomato soup and fries. The sandwich was soooo cheesy and buttery, I was in heaven! The soup was also very creamy and paired well with the grilled cheese (duh!). There weren't any frills with the grilled cheese, but sometimes simplicity is better than too many frills! The fries were nice and crispy, plus well seasoned. Right before finishing our meal, the employees brought us over free oven warm chocolate chip cookies over for dessert- so good!! Overall, we had a great experience here for lunch, we will definitely be back!

STEAK & CHEESE
Paula E.

It's all good! The bacon cheese fries were so perfect! The interesting burgers with their sauce and hallapeno was surprisingly tasty given I'm not a spice gal. But just enough to give flavor without too much bite for Me. Order at the counter or kiosk. Great burger, fries and good milkshake

ORIGINAL CHICKEN MELT

Came by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. This place was rather busy with a few open tables left. Went overboard with building my burger on the order kiosk. Paid and grabbed a number. Orders came out in decent time and looked good. Couldn't grab pictures quick enough before everyone dug in. Overall, a good choice if you want a quick and tasty burger. Fries were not too bad either. Staff were extremely friendly and were quick to grab condiments that we forgot. Enjoyed our meal here.

MINI MAC & GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES
Haneen O.

I'd heard about this place when I was at Salt & Straw in Tempe a few months ago. They have a location near there and closer to me in the formerly PV mall area. I was in the mood for cheesy goodness so I checked out their menu. If you sign up for their rewards program, you get free fries. So I signed up! I also got their side of mac & cheese since I wasn't in the mood for a full portion. I ordered online and drove over. I found parking in front of the restaurant and headed inside. Only a few people dining inside with plenty of seating. I picked up my order from the register and headed home. I ordered their garlic Parmesan fries and they were tasty. Topped with their Melt sauce, Parmesan cheese and garlic, it was flavorful but almost too much. Very salty which I usually appreciate but I ended up mixing in the leftover topping to my pasta. The mac & cheese was cheesy and good, it hit the spot. Their menu offers burgers, sandwiches, and other items that look interesting. I'd be down to try this spot again.

Not even the rawest part of the burger..
Kiki L.

Came in for a quick bite.. I got the patty melt - which honestly would have been great if it was cooked. I eat beef carpaccio but I can't do raw hamburger meat. The place was slammed with door dash orders of course so quality was a tad out the door. The owner seemed to be here - but not a hands on moment.. The fries were delicious - the Mac and cheese were okay and the chicken sandwich was fine too. I definitely come back and get the patty melt and hope it's cooked correctly.

BBQ BACON MELTBURGER
Jen B.

When I walked in I was greeted by a very friendly lady who later told me she was the manager. She gave us a few suggestions of what to order the menu. Because it was our first time she even gave us two drinks on the house. I rarely drink anything but water, but they had Alameda cane sugar soda and I had a cola. I got a patty melt and my husband got the bbq bacon burger. They were both good, but the patty melt was better with the grilled onions and the toast. The bbq bacon burger was good as well. The fries were tasty as well. Overall I will be back and maybe try a cheesesteak or the Mac and cheese next time. This is a fast casual restaurant where you order either at the counter or from the self-service kiosks.

Spicy burger
Wil L.

The Melt is a perfect neighborhood place. The burgers are incredible and definitely messy in the best way possible. Chicken sandwich was a little dry but not as good as the burgers. I had the spicy double and lived it with the fresh jalapeños. The fries were not as crispy and topped with some green herbs. Not sure I enjoyed it with the herbs. The sodas were perfect craft sodas and not your typical Coke or Pepsi. I would've given the place a 5 stars but I saw an employee take the quarter sheet pans in which the burgers were placed from the garbage drop off area and just wiped the surface and put back into inventory for new customers. The sheet pans weren't even put through the dishwasher for cleaning and sanitizing. I'm not so sure this is regular practice but someone needs to evaluate the cleaning process before a diner gets sick.

Double melt
Sue H.

Our family visited the Tatum Blvd store on 12/24 for lunch. This is a walk up order at the counter place with buzzing coasters when your older is ready to pick up. Orders were accurately recorded by the cashier, who was very patient with the five of us and several special requests. But kitchen accuracy missed the mark, and two of our five burgers were missing ingredients. We did not ask for the missing ingredients, just ate our burgers anyway. We ordered one double melt, one double BBQ melt, two single spicy missions and a single original melt with four sides and two drinks for $88. Trays with burgers had mixed up side dishes but we figured it out. One Spicy Mission burger was lettuce wrapped by request, but a single thin leaf didn't hold up well to this juicy patty. And they are thick third pound patties, I didn't need a double and my giant sons had trouble finishing their doubles. Burgers tasted awesome, pink juicy and well seasoned. Lots of cheese, gooey and drippy. The sweet potato fries were very good, although I will hold the unexpected cinnamon sugar next time since I dip them in ranch. Ranch dressing was homemade and excellent. Mini Mac and cheese was a big hit with college son. Regular fries were devoured but still need to try to Parmesan ones! I think the regular fries have just salt and parsley on them, not any flavoring. Not sure why I tipped 15% on our $87.88 bill, because we picked up our own food and bussed our own table. If I thought the tip was to ensure an accurate order, it failed. This is not a bargain place but the meat and ingredients are very good quality. The filtered water at the soda dispenser was even good! A team member brought us a cookie, cut in four (we are a party of five but I am gf) which was nice. Bathroom floor is surprisingly dirty for a new restaurant. Otherwise the restaurant seemed clean and neat. We really prefer to give our business to the sole proprietors in the valley, but the Instagram ads for The Melt drew us in!

Was looking for a change up for lunch while on work and found this restaurant ! It all looks very yummy !! I got chicken burger with their sauce and fries and a strawberry lemonade and it was actually pretty good!! The restaurant is cute and I honestly love that there is a self check out for your order! Staff was nice as well!! Only reason for giving 4 stars is the burger was very messy they had put sauce on both ends of the burger and it could barely keep together. I would go again I'll just make sure to add a note of preference ! :)

MELTY MAC
Vicky C.

Great location! If you are looking for some comfort food this is your place, thank me later :) Cute restaurant, fast service, plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. My favorite is the classic Melt burger, I made it a double and added grilled onions with a side of Parmesan fries. I was in cheesy goodness heaven! Their melty Mac is good and cheesy but lacks a little salt. I didn't get a picture of the snickerdoodle milkshake because I couldn't stop drinking it lol whoops! Definitely a favorite hopefully it's permanent on the menu! *My favorite burger spot in PV*

Both were excellent. The Pastrami Melt was ooey, gooey, chewy deliciousness. The bottomless Passion Fruit iced tea was great.

I first heard about this place from a friend who lives in Tucson but didn't give much thought to it until I actually saw the restaurant a few months ago while I was at another store in the shopping center. After multiple visits, I can conclude that I enjoy more of their cold sandwiches than their grilled/hot ones. My top three picks in no particular order would be the Baggin's club, high Baggin's, and the chicken rojo. All are different in their own way, but what they do have in common is that they are jam packed with ingredients and bursting in flavor. I haven't tried all their soups and sides yet but from what I've tried so far, I would say the tomato basil bisque has been my favorite. It accompanies well with many sandwiches I've had. The only thing I didn't care for much from here were any of the sandwiches with chicken. Their chicken was a bit too dry for my preferences. So far, I've yet to have a bad experience here. The staff are always warm, friendly, and patient. They try to get your orders out in a timely manner, but they do get busy at times. I usually take my food to go but they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options if you want to dine in.

We laughed so much with her, and she made us feel like we'd known her for years. Honestly, we couldn't have imagined a better evening with her looking after us. Ask for her section if you go, and don't be shy about asking her for recommendations! The food was fresh and so delicious, and the portions were big!

We loved the food, the atmosphere and how welcome everyone made us feel. We've already been telling people to visit and ask for Lisa!
