Delicious food and great environment. The music was not too loud. The service was fast and Timothy was especially kind. Seeing the Harvey Milk Shake made me emotional and grateful. Displaying solidarity with marginalized communities is critically important right now. Recognizing a prominent human rights advocate who was murdered may seem like a simple gesture to some, but it is monumental for people in the LGBTQ community. Thank you! read more

We came here on a Sunday and were able to find a table inside without much trouble. Ordering is done through a kiosk, and you pick up your food at the front when it's ready. Overall, the food tasted good. The only downside was that my hamburger wasn't cooked the way I requested. The employees were friendly, and the restaurant was clean, which made for a pleasant dining experience. read more

I visited The Melt in Sacramento, CA [2070 Fair Oaks Blvd] on Wednesday, 05/27/26, around 2 PM. I was happy to come back to this restaurant, as Liz Zuniga (Guest Happiness Manager) encouraged me to give this restaurant another shot. In this visit, I proceeded to order the following food items: * Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich * Melty Mac * Tomato Soup The chicken sandwich was juicy and fried to perfection. The size of the chicken breast was huge. The spicy melt sauce was delicious, too. I added mayonnaise to enhance the flavor. The Melty Mac was decently prepared. I added black pepper on top. Lastly, the Tomato Soup was absolutely incredible and divine, just like I remembered from the first visit. What stood out about this visit was the associate, Timothy. He was so extroverted and pleasantly kind to the point where he was engaging with all of the guests inside the restaurant. I enjoyed our conversation, as he was super welcoming and ensured that I was taken care of. He even went around to offer complimentary chocolate chip cookies to everyone! I'd say his unforgettable hospitality definitely brought this review up to 5 stars. As a bonus, I liked how this restaurant offered free Wi-Fi. It was super convenient, as I needed to complete work on my laptop. The inside of the restaurant was clean and presentable. Parking was easy to find around this time, too. I'll definitely be back to try more food items from the menu. read more

I'll leave this as a 3 instead of a 2, but under protest. The reason being is that I'm willing to come back, but they need to make some improvements. First, the good. The tomato soup was actually very good, not simply an afterthought side dish. I ordered the patty melt...at a place called "The Melt," with pictures of items covered in gooey cheese. False advertising? Look at my picture. While the cheese had good taste, there was nowhere near "the melt effect" one would expect. The patty was cooked well, but has no seasoning... therefore, no flavor. I think they don't season it because of the supposed melt sauce...I say supposed, because there was no sauce on my melt, though the description says melt sauce. I sat there with great tomato soup, a sandwich with minimal cheese, and a soda...for $$. I would definitely give it a second try....but I guess if you actually want cheese, or flavor, for that matter, avoid the patty melt read more

Whenever you are craving cheese, especially yummy, gooey cheese, look no further than The Melt. This restaurant is very clean. The customer service is good. There's plenty of places indoors to sit. There's a shared parking lot where you can park. You can order at your convenience with a person working or at a kiosk. I like the chicken from here. There's some spice levels so beware of that. This place definitely has some comfort food vibes and feels. I do suggest that you check it out. read more

First time here. Down the street from where i went to college at sac state. Emma was a highlight! Super helpful & friendly! Original double cheeseburger all the fixings and fries were a delight!

Stopped in here to grab the three cheese classic sandwich for lunch. It wasn't busy at all. The Grilled cheese was really good. Loved the buttery sourdough & cheesiness. I ordered from my app as I was using a reward & couldn't find how to apply the reward when ordering from the kiosk. Nice place but parking & the entrance is interesting. Parking can be challenging. They have a nice outdoor seating area & plenty of seating inside. read more

First time visiting The Melt because I was craving a good patty melt, and it definitely hit the spot. I liked that the ordering kiosk lets you customize your meal, including switching up the bread options. I chose the spicy garlic bread, which added a great flavor and really elevated the sandwich. The burger was super juicy, and I was impressed that the bread stayed crispy all the way until the last bite. I also tried the garlic Parmesan fries. The flavor was good and definitely had plenty of garlic, but the fries were a little soggy from the toppings. One thing I especially enjoyed was the selection of cane sugar craft sodas. They carry Alameda Soda Company, which I'd never seen before, and it was a nice change from the usual fountain drink options. The ranch was good too. Parking can be a little challenging during the lunch rush, but the service made up for it. Toward the end of my meal, Timothy stopped by to check in and even offered me a piece of a chocolate chip cookie to try, which was a thoughtful gesture. Overall, I left stuffed and satisfied and would definitely come back when the craving for a patty melt strikes again! read more

We stopped by The Melt near Sacramento State and were really impressed. I ordered the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and it was outstanding. The chicken was thick, juicy, and perfectly cooked--not chewy at all. The spicy sauce paired with the pickle and jalapeño garnish gave it a ton of flavor, and the sandwich itself was a generous portion. The staff was incredibly friendly and even gave us a free order of fries because they felt our food took too long. Honestly, we didn't think the wait was long at all, but that level of customer service says a lot. The restaurant has a great atmosphere too. The combination of exposed brick, neon signage, a colorful mural, and historic Sacramento photos creates a fun space with a real sense of local character. We'll definitely be back. read more

Ok I know giving 5 stars is wild and typically for like Michelin star locations but wow this place blew my mind! I got the double cheese burger and the double bbq bacon burger and holy moly these were HUGE!! Like 5 pounds of burger per burger and it was DELIcious! I also got the Mac n Cheese with breadcrumb topping which was heavenly. Perfect creaminess and perfect portion. I also go the sweet potato fries and their house friends. Both were amazing. I'm incredibly impressed at the cost of the food, the taste of the food and the SIZE of the food. 10/10 will be telling others to come here. read more

Decided to see what the hype was about and order a few burgers and a sandwich for the family. Was pretty mediocre overall. Nothing had sauce, from the BBQ burger to the patty melt to the Jalapeno burger. It was just dry and very greasy at the same time which is quite a feat. For the price I don't think we'll be back and it's a shame because the food in other reviews looks great, but times are tough and I'm not trying to risk losing another $90+ feeding my family with very mid food. We treat ourselves on the weekends and this was not a treat. read more

Didn't know what to expect. I ended up ordering Parmesan garlic fries with an avocado bacon melt... ERMEHRGERD! It was Off-Da-Hook! I don't know what I was expecting, but This was Great! Amazing food! Great Service! Nice vibes! I'll be back for sure! read more

My first and last time eating at the melt I ordered my veggies on the side. They didn't come with any at all. I wasn't given any condiments and this was the most depressing, sad, dry unseasoned burger that I've ever paid money for. The fries were visually appealing because they had some parsley on them also had no seasoning. Very disappointing. read more

IMPECCABLE! The food came out fresh, the ingredients were quality, flavor on point, and they did not skimp out on the amount. Our server Timothy was really helpful and receptive to feedback. Pretty spacious inside. Will keep coming back to this location for sure. read more

The Melt - MELTBURGER DOUBLE MELTBURGER GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

After driving my sister to an appointment, I spotted The Melt, which stood out in a good way. When I looked them up and saw they had burgers. After her appointment, that's exactly what we were in the mood to have! As we popped in, we looked around and felt less pressure looking at the menu on the kiosk. Since I had already looked it up, we knew what we wanted. I ordered a double melt burger and my sister ordered the original melt burger and added an egg. We shared garlic fries and a side of their melted mac and added bread crumbs. Neither of us like pickles so we didn't want those with our burgers (it comes in the side.) We picked up a buzzer which allows us to know our meal is done so that we can pick up to at the front. Customer service right away was top notch! I went to the register and talked with Timothy. He showed me where the drinks were and there are water cups out and that's what we got because that's what I love to drink! While we waited for our food to finish, I walked around and looked at the decor. Some of it was some history on The Melt, Central Pacific Railroad, Sacramento State college in 1949... the history on the walls is fun to check out and much easier since there weren't so many people. As you can see, I was eating with my eyes. My double Melt Burger was enormous. Also, you can see where I mentioned we didn't want the pickle on the side... and there it was on our tray. However, presentation was spot on! I enjoyed talking to Timothy. Thank you for grabbing us napkins!!! He showed us above and beyond customer service!! As for the taste- The burger was not that good. The flavor just was not there. There was not any char flavor. It was just a big ol gorgeous looking burger. I'm guessing these were frozen patties. The garlic fries and melty mac were delicious. I would get those again. My sisters egg looks like it was cooked in a dirty pan. Definitely the ugliest egg on a burger I have ever seen. It was cooked good but isn't an egg white...? My sister and I took half our burgers home (after adding salt, pepper and garlic powder at home, it tasted so much better!) I'm not a fan of frozen patties... especially worth zero seasoning. There was salt and pepper available, but this burger lacked more than just salt. If lacked flavor of a fresh cooked burger. 5/5 on customer service. Timothy was amazing! 2/5 for the burger. At least it came out hot and gorgeous... I would absolutely come back for the mac & cheese...Absolutely not this burger! read more

I deeply appreciate The Melt experience for the very first time. The food was great and the hospitality was expeodinary, especially the customer service of Trevor, I hope I'm citing the right person. He was a young Caucasian man that greeted us and took our order. He was excellent. read more

I found this by searching for the best fast food in Sacramento but it really isn't as it is a sit down place. The food was awesome. I had the Italian Job and garlic fries chased down with a thick and creamy shake. My wife had the Mac Daddy and her face when she bit into it was pure joy. Timothy provided excellent service. I would highly recommend stepping up to the counter for recommendations rather than use the self service kiosks. We will be back! read more

Okay so burgers & fries.. not always my first choice but after trying this place ONCE I have been thinking about it nonstop. I was not expecting the food to be SO GOOD. The garlic fries are so yummy. And the burger itself was drool-worthy. The workers are kind and helpful to any questions and you can also order on a kiosk if you prefer that. Inside is clean and comfortable enough to want to sit inside and eat. Parking can be tough but it's worth it lol. 5-stars for sure. Brb thinking about the fries. read more

The melt is comfort food! Yes, their burgers are really tasty! I love that they're well seasoned, the cheese is melting, and literally bite after bite, it's deliciously yummy. It's a nice size burger that sure to please every appetite. Well, I really enjoy a good burger, and they're not as easily found as one would expect, this is my go to place and the secret sauce to why you should visit. It's the mac & cheese. I know! Something that might be unexpected, but also something That meets those expectations and beyond. Did you ever want that melted cheese goodness in every bite? The melt has that mac & cheese! I always request my order to be cheesy because I want that. cheesy goodness in every bite. It's been perfect every time. In fact, this is one of the few places that offer offers mac & cheese in addition to french fries, and salads. Again, not something that you would necessarily expect, but it's such a game changer. By the way, their fries are pretty tasty. I like that you order at the counter, or you can order at one of the essentially located kiosk when you walk in. I'm a counter girl. You place the order, go grab a seat, and they'll call your number. Grab your food and get your grub on! If you're looking for a new burger joint, you absolutely should try the melt. Looking to get your mac & cheese craving on, you should try the melt! read more

Monday May 25th @ 8pm Maybe it was an off night. Maybe it's better in person. Maybe it doesn't matter what the situation is, the outcome still might be the same? Who knows! What I do know is that I had been eyeing this place for a while and we finally tried it tonight. 5 different orders and not one person was impressed. We ordered online and as soon as we placed the order we left to go get it since it's only 10 minutes away. When we walked in our order was bagged and ready to go so that was the most positive part. Or so it seemed... Upon returning home we get into the bag take everything out and everything is cold. How is food that was made 10 min ago this cold? I mean everything was cold. The fries the burgers the chicken sandwich (that was lukewarm) EVERYTHING. We had to take turns between the air fryer and microwave heating our food up I had the fried chicken sandwich with 0 flavor and the breading was awful. The breading fell off after the first bite and by the 2nd bite the sandwich disintegrated. Shit was all over the place. Way too soggy! Mine wasn't the only one. Everyone else's burgers fell apart were way too soggy and they all had wilted lettuce on them. Again how is food that was supposedly made 10 min this cold and this soggy? Seems like a nice place to eat at as it's in a good area and the establishment itself is as nice but the food sucks. I hate giving 1 star reviews however I only do it when it's absolutely necessary. read more

This as our first time with this chain and the food did not disappoint. The burgers were juicy, the cheese was gooey and the mac/cheese was decadent. You can personalize the burgers lik switching out the cheese. We ordered at the kiosk and took a buzzer so it was efficient. Everything was clean. Really nice spot. Parking can be a bit tight if other places open. But super clise to campus and good food. read more

Love the addition of Melt to this area and the space is so nice and welcoming. I love the way they decorate the restaurant and the menu definitely speaks to me as someone who loves grilled cheese, burgers, and sandwiches. I've gotten food at this location a few times now and the service isn't always consistent. They do have kiosks but also have a counter that you can order from up front. As someone who is happy to do either it'd be nice to have more direction one way or the other. When I've stopped in I haven't always been greeted, and it would be cool to right away have someone say "Welcome in, feel free to order at the kiosk or with me". I like getting the grilled cheese and tomato soup, the patty melt, or some mac and cheese when I stop in. I was very happy with my food each time I visited and when I dined in I did have a staff member check in on me and ask how the food was. Would definitely recommend trying it out if you haven't already. read more

Just discovered The Melt! Loved the decor! As you walk in there is a kiosk you can order from or the counter. We decided to do the kiosk and it was fast and user friendly. We paid and headed to the counter for our cup to grab our drink. The soda said all natural ingredients. The seating area is inviting a spacious... plenty of seating even outdoors in the patio area. We didn't wait too long. Your buzzer goes off and you go grab your food. We ordered the grilled chicken swiss and mushrooms, bbq burger and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was gooey, cheesy and the breaded topping was crunch and tasty with each bite. The grilled chicken Swiss mushroom was juicy and first and half way into the burger it was dry. The bbq burger was juicy, lots of bbq sauce and cheesy! Overall it was a great experience and I'll have to come back and try their shakes and other sandwiches. read more

If you're wanting comfort food, this is the spot! How can you go wrong with cheese?!? Everything we tried was flavorful, indulgent, and perfectly satisfying. The vibe and decorations are cute and casual, with simple décor that feels welcoming and relaxed. The place was clean, the staff is friendly 10/10, and the fact that they're open late is a BIG plus. Perfect for a late-night craving, or just treating yourself to something cheesy and deliciously indulgent. Highly recommend! Monday-Tuesday: 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight)!!! read more

Update on 5/17/26 came in this afternoon and again 10/10 food and experience. Timothy was very helpful when we spilled a cup of water and also gave us a complimentary cookie for me and my son and my wife. The melt is one of my top restaurants, if not #1. read more

It's a nice hamburger, but the value proposition isn't that great. I understand this place is straddling between a formal dine-in experience compared to a casual experience. It is basically an alternative version of Shake Shack. However, shake shack despite it's similar prices often have coupons which drop the prices significantly. The hamburger is fine, and taste better than most places. However, once a hamburger crosses into a double digit prices with no fries, it enters into a very competitive market. Where, the brioche buns better have a smooth buttery taste. The brioche wasn't stale, but the richness wasn't there. The amount of mushrooms was a bit anemic for the price. Regardless, not a bad experience, just pricey for what you get. read more

First off, Timothy should be the MVP of this place. As we were talking about the initial service ordering where the guy seemed impatient and not really a people's person, Timothy overheard and interjected his apologies. He asked is there anything he could do, but it wasn't his fault. He had a positive personality that should be used when dealing with the public. As for the food, the BBQ bacon cheese burger was delicious. The BBQ with the crispy onion strings gave it a zesty taste. I also had a grilled cheeses that was good. The toasted butter bread gave it a little bit of flavor. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Mac n cheese was not what we thought it would be. It was a cheeses sauce and not the melted cheese throughout like for Thanksgiving. The drinks are one size. They had Black Cherry which you don't see at many places. 5 stars for good food and good customer service (Timothy). He should get recognized because how people are treated is what makes customers loyal to a business. read more
