    I realized that I never gave an update on the situation--that's my bad! The team at The Melt was very apologetic and handled the situation very well in my opinion. They indeed provided a refund and credit for an extra meal as compensation. I appreciate the team for taking the time to do that, it shows that they care. I still frequent The Melt and my experiences have been great. They have some of my favorite burgers in the Bay Area. Excellent food and service!

    $6.99 Original Chicken Melt {11/2019}

    I've been to different The Melt locations for many years and also use the app to earn reward points. This time, I received an email promotion for a free Three Cheese Classic with any $5 purchase (up to $8.49 value), which can be applied to other Melted Classics. There were two self-order kiosks, but I waited at the counter since I needed help redeeming the Melt rewards and would need to upload my receipt after the purchase to earn points. All the employees were in the open kitchen area, and when I asked, one employee told me to either wait or use the kiosk. I explained I had Melt rewards to redeem, so I stayed at the counter. I ordered French fries ($3.99) thin-cut russets with Melt seasoning salt and redeemed my offer for the Steak & Cheese (Angus sirloin, provolone, cheese sauce, grilled onions, red peppers, and jalapeños on an artisan bun, regular price $12.99). The steak was shredded and mixed with melted cheese, and the fries with seasoning were something a little different from what I usually have. Since I've been coming to The Melt for years, I would come back again if I'm nearby and want to earn points on the app.

    When u are craving a smashburger in Downtown! Try The Melt. Next time I will try the soup instead of the mac n cheese

    MELTBURGER

    The MELTBURGER was big and yummy. It was around $10 something and I didn't have room for a side since I was full from the burger already. I would've prefer if they have a smaller size at a cheaper price since I don't want to be too full for lunch. I would come back to try the Philly sandwich next time.

    Love this place! There area lot of nicer burger places in the city, but the variety here is through the roof. I've had the chicken Parm sandwich and mission double melt burger so far and neither has disappointed. For the price there are so many solid comfort food options. The crunchy, cheesy, savory sandwiches and burgers are just the best. Ordering food is very smooth on the screens, and the buzzers are convenient to use. There are a variety of seating options as well. And of course I love that it is open so late but not crowded, so it's nice to grab takeout or sitting down. I'll be coming back for sure.

    Stopped by craving something cheesy as a snack and got a side of mini mac to go. It absolutely satisfied my cravings, loved how much melty cheese there was and the pasta was cooked well - not too mushy. I'll have to be back to try the chicken parm grilled cheese!

    Fast casual restaurant with excellent value. The burger was huge and the sandwich we ordered was also quite a sizable one. They were both absolutely delicious. The sweet potato fries are a must. The people working there were very nice.

    I came on a Sunday around noon. Restaurant was about 30% full. Ordered the new chicken Parmesan melt at the kiosk. Within 7 minutes my buzzer went off. Sandwich was filling. Bread wasn't soggy from the sauce and the chicken was thick and moist. Comes with 1 pickle spear.

    DOUBLE MELTBURGER
    Alice H.

    It was my first time trying their double meltburger, and it was really delicious! The beef patties were juicy and huge, I couldn't even finish them in one sitting, and ended up splitting them into three meals lol. Highly recommended!

    The Melt is famous for melted cheddar cheese. I'm lactose intolerant. So, my burger was no cheese. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. That thing was hot. It burned my lips. Ouch. I think it was thigh meat because I had to pull the meat with my teeth, not biting it. They got good WiFi and clean restroom. I found electric outlets on the side of the tall table. This table vibrates as it was connected to the air conditioner above the dining room. No, that's not earthquake. I was there yesterday prior to walk in the San Francisco Chinese New Year parade. Our meeting area was in front of The Melt.

    The Melt has a sign that says "highest rated burger joint" which is a bold statement, and I have to say I think it's well deserved. I came here not once but twice in the past couple weeks, once for national cheeseburger day, and once today because I woke up craving the cheeseburger I had last week. I ordered the exact same thing and the burger came out tasting exactly the same way, and that's extra points for consistency. Big fan of the spicy sauce option with chopped jalepenos. Literally salivating right now thinking about it, maybe it's time for a third trip

    SICILIAN CHICKEN
    Daniel B.

    Tried out this place last night! It was overall really great. The restaurant is pretty small, more limited seating options, but great turnaround. Ordering is self service. I had the Sicilian chicken, and it was great! The spicy garlic bread was toasty and warm, and paired nicely with the mushrooms. I am not a pickle person, but the pickle was dry (for those who care). I would come back to try other food next time!

I got the tri tip special with garlic butter and swapped the Swiss for pepperjack. The meat was sliced thin and really tender, and the garlic butter a perfect addition. I'm not usually big on sauces, but they have a good variety of house options if that's your thing. We'll definitely be back. I was also happy to see they have another location in San Bruno.

It's more of a deli/grocery-style spot, so there isn't much seating, just a few tables and chairs outside. But it's super close to Dolores Park, so we usually just grab our sandwiches and head there to eat. The chocolate chip cookie was also a standout. It's more of a brown butter, dark chocolate situation, rich but really well balanced, and the perfect sweet treat after the sandwich.
