    Patty melt
    Brianns H.

    Starting off with the customer service by Timothy, he was very kind in greeting us in and taking our order for us.. he even went around and checked in with people at tables to make sure everything was going good. The food is DELICIOUS! Everything I come, the food never disappoints! Even with it being cheesy, it is not greasy and the shakes are SOOOOO CREAMY

    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.

    Got the classic melt burger (well done) and added onions, tomatoes and lettuce. Much better than I remembered. Definitely will come back again.

    The Melt (Sacramento, CA): Interior
    Savannah R.

    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.

    The patty melt and tomato soup
    Dan W.

    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

    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! Tons of flavor, decent sized portions! Clean dine-in and bathrooms. Patio area was cool too definitely will be back!!!

    We walked in at around 10ish and not busy It was very quit The counter was not busy and the had self check out too We use the self check out. Our food was good and fresh salads and very clean and super nice We were all hungry and happy after

    Garlic Parmesan fries
    Kristi M.

    Fast, lots of choices and yummy. Garlic Parmesan fries were perfect. We all finished our meals. Sat on the clean patio. Bathrooms were locked and took a bit to get staff to check on that.

    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.

    PATTY MELT and GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES

    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!

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich

    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.

    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.

    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!

The staff are genuinely welcoming, the portions are generous, the comfort food gives solace, and breakfast lovers can rejoice because it's served all day. Whether you're there for a hearty meal or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Roc & Sol has earned its loyal following for good reason.

The food was delicious: I had the pear and pecan French toast and my wife had fried green tomatoes egg Benedict which she found super yummy. Their multiple line check-in and wait system where you line up again in a separate line once texted, process is an admittedly a bit clunky but I also surprisingly found it be very efficient. We went in on a Friday mid-morning and the wait for 2 was only about 15-20 minutes. I was blown away by how nice it was on the inside, it's a lot bigger and more modern than you would expect from seeing it on the outside. I'd say there are about roughly 25-35 tables combined inside and outside, so don't be discouraged if the line looks long. I promise it's not the hole in the wall it seems on the outside - it's really roomy on the inside! The food also comes out SUPER quick and the wait staff is super attentive and friendly. The only thing that I didn't quite understand was their pricing on their brewmosa. It's listed as $10 and it includes a PBR and only a splash of OJ but if purchased separately full cup of OJ and a can of PBR they're listed at $4 a piece. So I was a little bit confused and asked the waiter who was equality admittedly puzzled. I ended up buying the separate items and making my own brewmosa. I will say it was quite delicious! Their OJ is freshly squeezed which is a big big plus! Anyways I would highly recommend this place and we hope to be back soon if we find ourselves back in the area!
