Always appreciate German and the team at the melt. From late night eats, or a quick milkshake, they're always consistent. They always take care of me and I appreciate it read more

This review is just for takeout. We stopped there for lunch, and the overall process was great. It's nice they have kiosks you can order from. It's as simple as selecting what you want, customizing it to your liking, and then paying for it. While you're waiting, you have a pager so you can walk away (though I'm not sure how far). There is seating inside the restaurant as well as a few tables in a loft area if you want to eat there. We arrived when they opened, but everything looked clean and orderly. The food itself was consistently great, exactly what I've gotten at different locations. If you're in the mood for The Melt and nearby, this spot's for you! read more

This review is for Guest Happiness Manager After the spectacle of a few nights ago I was contacted by an ambassador for happiness who was very professional assuring me they were looking into the nastiness. Not only reaching out on a Sunday, Liz made sure I would be getting my Garlic Fries. Just at a different location . It's rare to get taken seriously and followed through with, cheers. read more

I regard The Melt's variety of beef burgers as exceptional for its quality meat. My Swiss-mushroom burger was nearly prepared with fresh spinach. I disliked the burger bun however as it crumbled too easily. I also feel that the double-mushroom burger was a little overpriced, especially with my $2 add-on of caramelized onions (total $18.95). The Chicken & Bacon Mac & Cheese entree proved most satisfying however in every respect. My strawberry milkshake even included some strawberry pieces inside the beverage rendering it authentic. I also commend the Melt for including complimentary pickles. The Melt restaurant on Market Street off Powell BART station however, did not include a free water dispenser unlike Shake Shack offers. Customers should be permitted to have free access to drinking water. The atmosphere was pleasant inside and catered plenty of dining tables. read more

Came here for lunch and was completely blown away by the experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot. The crispy chicken salad was hands-down the highlight of the meal! The chicken was golden-brown, crunchy on the outside, and tender on the inside. What made the visit extra special was the outstanding service. Our cashier, Angie, greeted us with a bright smile, was incredibly patient while taking our order. Later, the manager, Art served our food and was; You can really tell Art and his team genuinely care about their guests. Great food, fast service. Huge thanks to Angie and Art for making our lunch so enjoyable, we'll definitely be back soon! read more

Had a delivery from one of my favorite to go spots The Melt but hadn't tried this location. The fries were well balanced of the bacon, cheese and ranch sauce. Just crispy enough so to not get soggy. The burger was so good! And I like they give the option of being well cooked or medium well. I added bacon, egg and tomato which made it even better. It was well packed to I was secure in the delivery process. Would order both items again for sure! read more

I really liked: Beef Shroom Meltburger Cookies and Cream Shake I disliked: Garlic Fries The Beef Shroom Meltburger is pretty good. You get solid beef, cheese, mushrooms, and crispy bits all working together. Nothing overly complicated, just a good, satisfying burger. The Cookies and Cream Shake is great too. Really good texture and flavor, and pretty much exactly what I want out of a shake. The Garlic Fries were a disappointment though. The Parmesan wasn't melted, the garlic sometimes overpowered everything, and the fries themselves were nothing special. I'd skip these. Service is quick and pretty curt, but I honestly get it because they're constantly slammed with orders late at night. The line can get insane since this is one of the only reasonable places to grab food past a certain hour. Inside, there really isn't enough seating to handle the late-night crowd. This feels more like a place you grab your food and get out, especially when it's busy. Still, the burger and shake hit the spot when you need some late-night comfort food. read more

The Melt - Shake - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

The Melt is a laid back counter service burgers and shakes type of place. Opens late and offers plenty of seating, which I appreciate. Felt like a Five Guys, but the menu here is a bit more extensive and I'd say the burgers are larger. Tried the single and double varieties of burgers and the chocolate shake. I was surprised that I preferred the single burger. The double was a bit too loaded for the bun. Still, the burgers are pretty good. Juicy enough, cheesy, but I was generally blown away and neither was my family. They also offer chicken sandwiches. Would have given it 4/5 stars if the shake had been delicious, but it was not. At least not to me. Didn't like the texture and didn't think it had enough chocolate flavor. read more

I've been to several of their locations, including ones long since closed (R.I.P. Embarcadero), but never to this location. Quite busy and a tad chaotic. I ordered food for here, but they gave me a bag instead of a tray. Three Cheese Classic: Nostalgia overload, especially paired with a tomato soup. Fluffy bread. Nicely toasted (but not greasy). Lots of gooey cheese. Tomato Soup: Adds an umami blast and much needed moisture to the grilled cheese. The fluffy bread is perfect for really sopping up a lot of this delicious creamy soup. Chicken Parm Melt: Sounded good in theory, but the execution wasn't great. Fluffy white bread is a weird choice for chicken parm, since Italian bread or a crusty hoagie roll would have been better. Also, was a bit skimpy on the tomato sauce, so seemed kinda dry. And then the chicken breast separated from the crunchy breading, making an awkward and not evenly distributed texture experience. Melty Mac: The sleeper hit here. Al dente mac in a nice twirly shape. Great cheese sauce and nice crunchy cheesy topping too. Definitely the best mac and cheese I've had at a fast casual joint. I could seriously return just for this. Strawberry Shake: Way better than the the pink milkshake from that burger chain that shall not be named. This was made with real strawberries and you tasted it. So creamy and delicious. read more

Say YES! Cheat meal or Treat meal - The Melt checks all the boxes. Savory, beefy, delicious and indulgent. We ordered through DoorDash and got the Steak Fajita Mac ($13.99), the Double BBQ Bacon Meltburger ($18.99), Snickerdoodle and Cookies & Cream Milkshakes ($8.49 each) and Mini Mac ($5.99). I've never seen my teen son put away so much food that fast. He loved every bite. There had to be 1.25 pounds of quality beef in that burger. I ate more than half of the rich and delicious Fajita Mac. First, the spicy jalapeños are a great counterpoint to the dish and the onions, steak and peppers are generously stirred through it. The Melt does not skimp on the shaved beef throughout the lusciously cheesy Mac from the top of the dish all the way to the bottom. (Don't you hate when the expensive ingredients are only visible on top- and just lightly? This was not the case at The Melt). The Melt might've just edged itself into first place for best burger. In fact, it was the first topic my son was talking about this morning ("Man, that place is so good, sooo deluxe"). Open very late including 3am Saturday night to satisfy your cravings. read more

We were looking for a bite to eat before a show at the Warfield. The highly rated Saluhall was pretty barren, so we went to this place. It looked like it should've been better. We both ordered burgers and a slice of pickle on the side. We also shared some garlic parmesan fries. Everything needed to be better. My pickle slice was chewy and had a thick skin. The fries were not hot. The burger was the best part of the meal but it pales in comparison to Super Duper. Same with the garlic fries. The drinks were the worst. The root beer was barely carbonated. The iced tea had some undescribable flavor. The cola was passable. I'm not going back. read more

I grabbed a quick burger here when staying at a hotel down the street while visiting San Francisco. There were so many tasty sounding options but I went with the swiss n' shroom melt burger, which has 1/3 lb of beef that has been chopped and grilled, with 2 slices of swiss cheese, spinach, grilled mushroom, crispy onions, and ranch on a toasted bun. They did not skimp on the toppings and it was a messy, delicious handful. Perfectly savory, crispy, juicy, and downright luscious for $11.99. It was 100% worth it and I would absolutely stop by one of the many Melt locations across California again. read more

The Melt is quite a favorite with the office. Stuff that's good and well-liked: - swiss and shroom chicken (no fried onions) - chicken parm melt - double swiss and shroom meltburger. this thing was enormous! - patty melt - tomato soup, really good, like 10/10 - three cheese classic grilled cheese, delicious, can't go wrong, add a couple free tomato slices - chocolate shake Not recommended: - garlic chicken bacon mac and cheese. used to be a favorite but lately it's watery instead of cheesy, and the pasta is too soft - garlic parmesan fries, for some reason these fries are never crispy (maybe it's that the to-go box isn't well designed for fried food and they steam in transit) and the parmesan isn't melted - caesar salad, not bad, just uninspired and not particularly good read more

Overall, I was much more impressed than I was expecting - I had a good experience with a burger/fries/shake combo. The last time I had a burger at Melt was well over 10 years ago, probably when they first opened and I was pretty disappointed and didn't go back - I'm glad I had a good meal on my recent visit. I was with a group and we ordered a bunch of burgers and most people were satisfied with their orders. I got the Swiss "N' Shroom Meltburger, which was loaded with mushrooms and Swiss cheese and some spinach on a cheeseburger. The flavor was very good, although I would say the burger was cooked well done and could have been better if it was cooked to more of a medium or medium-well. The fries were good and the shake was decent. The ordering process is similar to other fast-casual spots and is mostly via self-order stations and it works pretty well. The place was clean and staff did a good job in keeping the space organized and inviting to customers. read more

I love The Melt! I used to go all the time when I was living in OC, and I don't think there's any place like it in Vegas, so I knew I had to stop by before flying out. They have the best mac and cheese. I love the breadcrumbs on top; it really adds a nice texture to the meal. I ordered it to go before ubering to SFO and my food stayed nice and warm. The staff were attentive and helped me get my order as soon as I walked up to the register. Love this place! read more

Best experience the food is so great. It is so delicious. Definitely recommend. you will not be disappointed.

We went there while casually strolling around the union square area in San Francisco. And omg! Their sandwiches and burgers are absolutely delicious. We went here on a weekend . There was ample sitting space . The place looked very clean and the order didn't take too long . We parked our car in a parking garage before as parking could be an issue in San Francisco as with any other big city. I would highly recommend their steak and cheese . Can't wait to visit the place again read more

We tried this out because it was open late in SF, until 3 am! There is a gluten free bun for burgers and bread for melts/grilled cheeses. The gf bun tasted good but fell apart very easily so it was extremely difficult to eat. Had to result to fork and knife for a burger. There was a steady flow of people and delivery drivers in and out but it was not overly packed (at 12:30am). There was a security guard outside at the door to control any possible crowds. They had some salad and soup options as well that we didn't get to try. When we came they had a deal for a free milkshake with a $10 purchase. Most burgers were over that price so it was a fun perk. read more

The melt was a good find while visiting SF. I got a burger and it was freshly made and tasted delicious but overall area is a bit sketchy. The best thing you could do is either order to go or sit further inside the restaurant. The shakes are good. The service is fast. Easy option read more

Why even pad the tip price? It's all good to the Kiosk so tf am I tipping for? The workers: "go to computer screen" okay. Don't expect me to be like : GREAT SERVICE ! At this point why is this place not fully automated? People dont even seem to be able to care so why bother read more

Walked here after a concert at August Hall. I would say it's probably about a 10 minute walk which is really inconvenient because it was the closest restaurants open after 11pm. I appreciated the multiple screens to order from because we got to choose what we wanted and place our order right away. I think the sweet potato fries were great. The salad was ok and my avocado bacon sandwich was good. The location itself is more of an eat & go not really dine in. More of a fast food location, but I think overall the food is good and you could take the food to home if you don't finish. The best part is the customizable meals and I'd come back to try other items on their menu for a late night bite read more

Came here yesterday 03/07/2026 on a busy night in the city right after the Chinese New Year Parade. I must say the workers sure are professional and working fast. The fast food restaurant is being taken care of with love by the workers as they were cleaning and wiping down the tables. Food came out at a significantly decent good time the food tasted like it is freshly made to order. Do try out their milkshakes especially the cookies and cream one and the snickerdoodle one. Can't find no single complaint about this place just come and try it out for yourself if you are nearby. read more

I had to leave a review for The Melt because my experience was a hands-down 10/10! This was my first time ever eating here, and it definitely won't be my last. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and really hit the spot. I especially recommend the cheddar bacon ranch fries -- I personally got mine without the ranch since I'm not a fan, and they were still a solid 10/10. My other half got his with the ranch, though, and absolutely loved it. If you're into ranch, I'd definitely suggest keeping it on because it pairs really well. The service was great too! Even though they were really packed, I still got my food in a timely manner, which made the experience even better. Overall, The place has a cool, modern industrial look--exposed ceilings, pendant lighting, and long shared tables that give it a laid-back but slightly trendy vibe. Amazing first experience and I'm already looking forward to coming back! read more

Had to stop by here since I'm craving for good burgers/sandwiches. This place is pretty cool. Has second story seating. There's really no service only calling food out for pick up.

Now check out what my party ordered read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch bite to go. This is a casual sandwich shop. Very minimal decor. White walls, concrete floor and a few tables and chairs. You could enter your order at the kiosk or directly with the cashier. I Ordered a tomato soup which was smooth and creamy and tasty. I also ordered the Italian Job which is a mushroom and cheese sandwich on a spicy garlic bread. Unfortunately the bread wasn't spicy nor garlic. I'd stop by again for the soup alone. read more

It's good food, but they treat your food like it's garbage. The packaging is horrible. The staff Doesn't understands customer service. it's a good thing I was at home. There was no way I could eat this respectively in public.!! read more

This place is one of my favorite places for Mac n cheese and sandwiches. It's around the corner from the hotel I stay for work. The staff is always so friendly and very helpful. Every time I'm here for business, I come here. The place is pretty chill and they have registers where you can order something yourself as well. I've had many of the sandwiches and burgers, the grilled cheese with meat (there are different types of meat you can put in it) and they are all so delicious. Taste every flavor. My favorite is the regular 3 cheese Mac. I'm pretty simple and it's the best one, in my opinion. I'm from the south so these Mac n cheeses are done right. If you love burgers and Mac n cheese you'll love this place. The desserts are tasty as well. It's a must stop when I come downtown SFO. read more
