I had to leave a review because The Melt really did the most for me! I had not one, but TWO orders stolen through DoorDash. I placed my first order, and the Dasher stole it. I reordered, and somehow the second Dasher stole that order too. I called the restaurant, and instead of just telling me to deal with DoorDash, they said, "Why don't you come on down to the store? We'll remake your full order." She also assured me that I could still call DoorDash for a refund but they wanted to also comp my dinner. We went down there, and they replaced the entire order for us completely free! They even included extra fries AND extra chocolate chip cookies, which were literally piping hot and so fresh. The food was really good, everything was fresh and hot, but honestly, the customer service is what stood out the most. They absolutely did not have to go out of their way like that, and I really appreciated them taking care of us after an already frustrating situation. Huge thank you to the staff at The Melt for being so kind and making things right. This is the kind of customer service that makes you want to come back and support a business. would have posted more pics but we ate it before I thought to post haha read more

0 stars for 0 food delivered What was my experience - they accepted my DoorDash order, had my driver waiting in the store for 20 minutes and then cancelled my order. So I call the restaurant and ask if they're still taking carry out order/door dash - and they said yes. Then I asked why my order placed an hour ago was cancelled, her response "we're really slammed right now - contact DoorDash." Apparently, they can't be busy and serve people 0/10 - don't even try to eat here, you'll just waste your time and then be told they're too busy to take your money read more

The Melt is a great option for late-night eats in the Gaslamp! San Diego surprisingly doesn't have a ton of good spots open late, so it's nice to have somewhere you can grab something satisfying after a night out. The food hits the spot, especially when you're looking for something quick, cheesy, and comforting. Definitely one of our go-to options when we're downtown late and everything else seems to be closed. A solid late-night find in San Diego! read more

The Melt - Good friends and a good time - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Hits so good after a night out! Love that they stay open late. Their mushroom Swiss burger came out hot, moist, and umami-flavored. Their prices are kind of high but the portion size on the meat is pretty hefty. read more

The Melt - DOUBLE SWISS & SHROOM MELTBURGER - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

The bread could have been left on the grill longer; it should have been darker than this. Light to dark brown would have been perfect. Other than this absolutely delicious steak sandwich, 4 sure, the shake too. Easy on the wallet. Service was great; parking not so great. Will return even for only the mac and cheese. 2 kiosks. read more

I came here for lunch during a weekday, as I was craving a burger. Street or lot parking, so plan ahead. The place seems fairly new and was clean. It wasn't too busy yet, and you order at the counter and they give you a little vibrating alarm that goes off when your order is ready. We ordered a patty melt, original burger, and the cheddar bacon ranch fries. The patty melt was just ok, it seemed a bit small and kind of dry. Certainly wasn't the best i had, but not the worst. I definitely enjoyed the original burger more, and it had a good amount of cheese, and pretty good flavor. We also enjoyed the cheddar bacon ranch fries, I would highly reccomend them. The bacon was good, and they used real bacon, not bacon bits. They add lots of gooey cheese as well. There's a Ghirardelli right next door to the restaurant if you also want some ice cream for dessert. I'd definitely check this place out for lunch if your nearby. read more

The Melt food was delicious! My first time coming here and it was an experience. Love the way one can customize their burger. Service was friendly, nothing too much that stood out, but sometimes that is a good thing. Ambience was SD vibe. Two restrooms is cool too. read more

The service was amazing and the shake was delicious . Definelty recommend. Also the burger was fresh and a good size.

Decent, the restaurant itself was super humid and hot, so it wasn't enjoyable to eat inside. The garlic fries were really good, my classic burger was SUPER salty, and my husband's Mac and cheese was alright. read more

The Melt - Grilled THREE CHEESE CLASSICcheese - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Not bad, but everyone in our crew agreed the Melt is fairly overrated. No issues with the service and the environment was cool, tucked away in downtown but the burgers lacked flair. Certainly hot and melty, but missed with the flavor. Lots of burgers around town I'd try before deciding on here but you'll still get a decent bite. read more

LATE NIGHT BURGER FIX: I came here after a local recommended it to me. Good burger. If you're looking for a decent burger, you'll find it here. The decor is pretty basic, similar to a fast food spot. It's really all about the food, and they're open late, which makes it an easy stop after a long day. You can tell they have a strong local following. It's on the pricey side, but that's San Diego for you. read more

The Melt - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

I was initially going to give a 2 star review, but after spending 2 days hunched over in pain with frequent diarrhea and discomfort, I'd give zero stars if I could. Thanks to eating lunch here, I spent the majority of New Years Eve running in and out the bathroom. For starters, the service was dismal and the people behind the counter seemed annoyed that I wanted to order. When I tried the food, I felt like the burger desperately needed more sauce.... and cheese. You would think with a name like "The Melt" this place would have a glorious cheese pull when biting into the food. Welp, no such luck. Burger was just a hunk of meat lacking anything resembling delicious eats with a $43 price tag for 2 burgers. I will never eat here again. I was sick to my stomach for days and spent what was supposed to be an incredible start to the New Year in the bathroom. read more

The Melt - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

Ordered delivery from The Melt and unfortunately the experience didn't match the price point. We spent over $90 on the order, which included multiple burgers and fries. The burgers arrived noticeably soggy, likely from being boxed while still hot with no ventilation. The buns were soft to the point of falling apart, which really took away from the overall quality--especially for burgers that are meant to highlight melted cheese and texture. On top of that, the order arrived with no utensils, napkins, or condiments included at all. For a delivery order of this size and cost, those basics should be standard, or at least confirmed. Flavor-wise, the burgers were decent, but presentation and execution matter--particularly when charging premium prices. This might be better enjoyed dine-in, where freshness and proper setup are more controlled, but as a delivery experience, it was disappointing for what we paid. read more

Came here for a late night dinner. Enjoyed it but it's definitely a bit of a greasy spoon drunk meal type of place rather than a cleaner fast casual restaurant that they tried to achieve. The ordering POS system the customers have to use felt a bit wonky. Definitely convenient late at night, but would not be my first choice during Moore typical dining hours. read more

Wooow-- I did not expect to love their burgers so much! Perfect amount of cheese, great cook on it and flavor, the bread delicious. My hard-to-please friend gave it a 9/10, which I've never heard of from him lol. I like the space and layout as well, there's an upper dining area that was cool to hangout and eat at. Also the staff was really great -- they came over and gave us a free warm chocolate chip cookie that made me melt it was so good. Absolutely would return & recommend! read more

Food really good here service not so much. They have pagers when your order is ready. Mine went off and go up to get order. Not ready yet. Then she helps someone else. Finally mine is ready except she hands it to me on a tray. My order was to go. Took longer to order than since the pager went off. Like I said food good service not so much. This is a regular occurrence here. Never tip them because of it read more

This location is in the heart of Gaslamp district and across the street from 2 clubs (American Junkie and Fat Tuesday). The biggest perk about this place is that they are open late until 3am. Despite Gaslamp being busy with clubs and bars at night, it's hard to find a place to actually grab food without paying a cover fee. The menu includes different burgers, chicken burgers, melts, shakes, and fries. The food was tasty and good. They have a few tables outside by the entrance which is fun to people watch. They also have tables inside. Overall, a decent and quick food option. I took off a star because it's a little pricey for a burger and fries ($19). read more

Excellent food, Excellent service, very friendly for a fast food place. Big burgers and large portions of fries, very fresh. There was a problem with the register but the manager made up for it by giving us beverages for free. Very cool. Unfortunately I live several hundred miles away and won't be able to come back but if I was here this would be my choice over in and out burger. read more

Our family and I were taking a weekend trip the weekend of July 20 and since it was our last night in time, we decided to order for delivery. The restaurant was down the street from our hotel and we ordered two of the milk burgers, one Swiss burger, and one barbecue bacon burger. The burgers were very good. We also ordered four orders of garlic Parmesan fries. They were crispy, but the garlic was very overpowering and two garlic, which means we could not enjoy the fries like we wanted to overall our experience was decent. The price of it was very pricey was over $20 a person. Our order was made quick and the delivery driver did deliver our food promptly. If we ever order here again we would not suggest the garlic Parmesan fries if you really like garlic flavor than you would like these fries. read more

Came here late at night since they're open till 3am!! Very convenient. It was easy to order. On the left there's large tablets to order on if you don't want to order to the cashier. We got the Mac Daddy, the melt, Mac and cheese, Caesar salad, and their chicken sandwich. While we were waiting, we looked around and it's a cute little fast food. Downstairs there's tables, the restroom, and drink station. Upstairs is another area for seating. We waited less than ten minutes for our food and wow if you're a cheese lover, you'll love it here . Everything was sooo good. It the spot for sure. Great place to eat late at night read more

I ordered the kids meal Mac n cheese with a side of apples and I was quite disappointed. The cheese sauce was liquidy and the noodles were a bit tough, like it hadn't been cooked enough. My order was ready before I even had time to fill my water cup, so I know they could have cooked it for longer. I am not a professional chef, but I feel it is a bit difficult to mess up Mac n cheese. And don't even get me started on the apple slices. They gave a measly four slices, which I hardly consider a side. Not to mention the slices had rough parts in it which I'm assuming had part of the core in it. On top of that, you have to trash and stack your own tray. Was not a pleasurable experience. The staff seemed friendly enough and ambiance was good though which is why I'm not rating 1 stars. read more

The Melt - Kids macaroni and cheese - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

This is definitely good drunk food. We ordered the jalapeño burger, the burger was a bit bland, texture mushy, and overall mediocre. The patty melt is what you would expect very basic but I thought it taste fine. Both the sweet potato and regular fries were good. There's plenty of seating and evening seating along the window. The service was as expected;however they did mix up the fries with the burgers. read more

I'm giving The Melt 2 stars because the customer service was genuinely great. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and did their job well. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the hype. The burger had almost no flavor and seemed to rely on a ridiculous amount of cheese instead of seasoning. The mac and cheese was even more disappointing--it tasted watered down with breadcrumbs on top, but there wasn't much flavor at all. To make matters worse, the prices are pretty high for the quality of the food. I don't mind paying for a good meal, but this definitely wasn't worth what I spent. The service was the highlight of my visit, but the food alone isn't enough to make me want to come back. read more

A Gaslamp Gem I'm Glad I Finally Found! ​I've been to the Gaslamp District many times, but The Melt (on the corner of 5th & G, right by the chocolate shop) was a brand-new discovery for me--and what a find! ​The staff is incredibly helpful. I asked the cashier for recommendations, and she pointed out their top three: the Original Melt Burger, the BBQ Bacon Grilled Chicken, and a third popular pick. I went with the Original Melt Burger (an Angus/Wagyu blend) and it was cooked to perfection--pink, juicy, and loaded with melted cheddar and grilled onions. I usually never finish a burger this size, but I polished this one off! ​Pro Tip: Do NOT skip the Parmesan Garlic Fries. You can actually taste the fresh garlic in every single bite. ​The space is clean with plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs. They have kiosks for quick ordering, but the service at the register was great too. I'm already planning my next trip back to try the "Mac Daddy." If you're in San Diego, this is a must-visit! read more

Oh my LORD--where do I even begin?! Let's just say, I *wish* I had one of their burgers in front of me right now. This place was nothing short of amazing. The staff was super helpful, the space was clean, and the music created a great vibe, but not overpowering. But let's get to the real star of the show: **THE BURGER**. Fresh. Hot. Perfectly cooked. And the bacon? It tasted almost caramelized--crispy, flavorful, next-level good. I still don't know what kind of magic they worked back there, but wow. I paired it with sweet potato fries, and they were just as impressive--crispy, not greasy, and full of flavor. Bottom line: don't walk--**RUN** to this place. Add it to your must-visit list and thank me later. read more

Loved the burger. I had a fairly plain burger with no condiments except for their signature spread. The spread says it has jalapeño in it but I couldn't taste it at all. They cook the burgers in a specially designed grill that comes down on the top too like a George Foreman grill. The beer had a nice crisp crust on it. read more

On the walk home from the Rock n Roll Half, and popped in to this joint. At a place called "melt" we had to choose the Patty melt!
