    Three Cheese Classic + Impossible Patty
    Lloyd C.

    First time visiting this location of The Melt. They are located in the Rivermark Plaza with Safeway, Red Robin Burgers, etc. The parking can be hectic and crazy during peak lunch hours. The interior is nice and clean. They have inside and outside seating options. Four kiosks to order from in addition to a cashier. Pager or phone text option. House music playing throughout the restaurant. Two separate single-user men and women's restrooms. The service is friendly and welcoming. Three Cheese Classic: gooey grilled cheese goodness of aged all-natural cheddar, Muenster, and fontana on crispy artisan bread. I added Impossible patty +$4.99 (4/5). Hand Spun Chocolate Shake (4/5) - creamy, thick and a pretty good shake. They came around offering a sample of their freshly baked chocolate chip cookie. Ooey gooey goodness. Support your local business.

    SWISS & SHROOM MELTBURGER

    Was alright! We got burgers and the meat was a little dry but flavor was not bad. I liked the Swiss mushroom! The Mac and cheese could have used a little bit more salt.

    The food is really good and the owner is super friendly. He is frequently out and chatting with the patrons, offering samples and doing what he can to make your dining experience great!

    This place is AMAZINGGGGGG! their fries are spudtastic & their sandwiches are to die for! Shout out to McKenzie (I hope I spelt that right) for the awesome customer service! You made lunch time the best time.

    Tomato soup, Swiss shroom burger and sweet potato fries

    On a cold, wet New Year's Eve, we went to the Melt to get burgers and fries so we could close out 2025 with a good old American style dinner. The restaurant was clean and plenty of menus available to help you pick out what to eat. I loved the "You melt my heart away" back drop. There weren't a lot of people, but the cooks in the back were hustling with all the pick-up orders. A sign the food is good. We ordered the Swiss and shroom burger, single and double. The Swiss cheese was melted and stretchy. I could tell they used real cheese, not the processed stuff that melts off. We will go back again.

    The ambience is OK, the place has limited seating for a larger group (5+). The service was fast and the staff are friendly. I got an impossible spicy mission burger - the taste is good but it is expensive. I've had impossible burgers at other places but +$3 price tag here is high. Would be nice to have a veggie patty option as well.

    This is another location which not only it recently opened here before the one in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, but also it's now the closest location from where I live. It's in Rivermark Plaza at Santa Clara and looks better than the one in Sunnyvale. It looks really nice inside. It's as if I walked inside a casino. Ordering there in-person is almost impossible because staff is very busy. Good thing that they kiosks allowing them to save time. I don't mind using them tbh. Before I had one of their regular sandwich melts which I believe comes with mac and cheese. I wanted to try one of their burgers and it's gotta be one of the best burgers out there. Its very juicy and patty-to-bun ratio is at the right spot! I also wanted to try one of their snickerdoodle milkshakes and really tastes sweet and delicious. Sometimes I gotta twirl it to get lessen the viscosity of the drink. The Parmesan fries are really good though. I saw a few pieces of garlic and ate them anyways. This is one of the best sandwich spots in the Bay Area and I'm looking forward to trying more stuff!

    I have normally ordered food from The Melt through DoorDash, but on our way to Red Robin, we saw The Melt and decided to eat there instead since it was a "burger" day. Unfortunately, I failed to take a picture of my burger because it smelled so good and I was anxious to eat it! The patty was like a "smash" burger and super yummy! A bit messy, but worth it. We also ordered garlic fries, which were on point. There are kiosks on the side to order, but we placed our order with the cashier, who was very nice and helpful when asking questions about the menu. She even came around with some samples of their chocolate chip cookie that was delicious. I love the garage door opening!

    AVOCADO BACON MELT
    Carolyn P.

    Good place for sandwiches and fries. I wish they had more sauces or something because the avocado bacon sandwich I got felt like it was lacking some flavor. Their sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. The service was also really friendly since you order at the counter and they hand you a buzzer. The tables are pretty close together, but there's a lot of seating for tables of 4 and 2.

    Tomato Soup
    Da Kat A.

    I've been here many times and always have a great experience eating here. The staff works here are friendly and helpful. When I had trouble ordering from the kiosk, Liz was very patient and helped me out with my customization. We ordered the Patty Melt, Swiss and Shroom Meltburger and they were both delicious. The garlic fries is the bomb! The regular fries are good and crispy too. The tomato soup is good but a bit too sour to my taste. They have limited selection on their milkshakes and they're good and thick. Overall their food is great. The place is clean overall and they close late. It's great for late night dining when everywhere else is closed. It also has a nice open indoor-outdoor dining environment. There is a garage door that opens up to the outside during a nice day or closes up when it's cold and windy. I'd say they need to improve the software in the kiosk to let us customize certain menu items such as Patty Melt. It's very strange they let you customize burgers but not Patty Melts.

    PATTY MELT WITH GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES
    Rudy D.

    The patty melt is my go to here. Burger was fantastic with the grilled onions. Tried the tomato soup which was very good! My wife who is a tomato soup connoisseur loved it. Wasn't happy that the garlic Parmesan fries were cold. Not sure how that happens since the burger and soup were hot. They made new fries, but it took awhile.

    I just love the double melt burger here. Although I usually have it delivered, I have also eaten here and have found the staff friendly and of course the double melt burger Great!

    I don't usually write reviews, but this place truly deserves one…read more The first time I came to Northern California, I found West Coast Sourdough by accident on Uber Eats. I'm extremely picky about my food, so I honestly expected I probably wouldn't like it. I couldn't have been more wrong. Their Chicken Pesto Sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. After that first order, I started visiting the restaurant in person, and that's when I met Nabin, Shekhar, Suraj, and Chetan. Every single one of them is professional, detail-oriented, friendly, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. They always greet customers with a smile and make you feel genuinely welcome. What really stands out is how much pride they take in their work. They happily customize my Chicken Pesto Sandwich exactly the way I like it, and every time it comes out fresh, delicious, and perfectly made. You can tell they care about quality. They are also very clean and hygienic--they wear gloves and regularly change them while preparing food, which gives me a lot of confidence in their food safety standards. Their customer service is honestly exceptional. It's rare to find a team that is this consistently kind, attentive, and committed to making sure every customer has a great experience. I now live in Menlo Park, and even after the last seven months, I still drive all the way to this San Jose location just to get my favorite sandwich. That's how good it is. Nabin, Shekhar, Suraj, and Chetan are true assets to West Coast Sourdough. They represent exactly what great customer service should look like. Thank you all for consistently making amazing sandwiches and for always treating your customers with such care and professionalism. I highly recommend West Coast Sourdough in San Jose to anyone looking for outstanding food, excellent service, and an experience that keeps you coming back.

The location of the store seems a little far away because it's in the corner by Safeway's gas station off to the side, so I imagine some people miss it. So keep an eye out for it next time you're in the mood for some hot subs. Chris, the owner, was so kind and explained everything to us. He was patient, informative, and professional. It's nice to see owners work at times and treat their customers so genuinely! So thank you, Chris! The store is honestly decorated so well. There's details everywhere on the wall, and it's all dedicated to San Jose culture and first responders. The ambiance felt local and cool. Now for the food, my husband ordered the Build Your Own Sub with Pastrami and it was delicious! I ordered their new and off the menu French Dip sub with aus ju and IT WAS SO GOOD. Highly recommend to get it now while they have it! Special notes: - All subs are served hot! - They have a hot sauce bar with unique sauces all leveled off from (1-10). 1 = mild and 10 = spiciest! Affordability: both of our subs came out to be around $20 for two large subs. Some people may view the prices as pricey, but if you get a large sub it's definitely worth it. Check out the photos for reference (I don't think the photos do the large size justice though because they are HUGE) and give Firehouse Sub a try for yourself!

Thought I'd give it a try. I like sandos....err subs. I placed an order online and picked it up without any issues, just the way it should be. My order was ready and waiting for me when I got there. The venue at the corner of a newer shopping plaza. There is a decent amount of seating inside and outside as well along with plenty of parking around. #Sandos: ~ Hook & Ladder - 3.5/5 The most basic one...I think. Smoked Turkey breast, Honey Ham, and melted Monterey Jack cheese, served with lettuce, tomato, onion, no mayo for me, and deli mustard with a pickle spear on the side. The sub were just okay for me, nothing amazing. ~ Firehouse Steak & Cheese (Large) - 3/5 Looks much better in the brochure. It's fine, tasted OK. Nothing to brag about, don't let the sando sit around. Make sure you finish it all at once or it will get soggy... may be its because of the oil and vinegar dressing I opted for? Not sure... The wheat bread is a tad too sweet for my liking and the white bread is just plain and flavorless. I do wish they provided options like Sourdough or Dutch Crunch, which also happen to be healthier for you. I wanted to complain that they were expensive but then realized that's how it is everywhere now. That food inflation is no joke... I'd stop by if nothing was around. Not so sure I need to try other items on the menu.

Placed the order online and picked it up from their cute little store on Wyatt Drive. The day was so busy that most of us hardly ate our food until way later in the day, myself included. I actually didn't even get to start eating the salad that I had ordered until five hours after picking up the order and being home for the day. To my surprise, there was an issue with the salad. I called the store and was connected with a very sweet, nice understanding associate named Paola. She apologized and offered to remake anything that was in error from the large order placed and picked up this afternoon stated that it would be ready in the next 5 to 10 minutes. I came to pick it up and was greeted by Sebastian. He was very warm and welcoming and upon me, letting him know that I called and spoke to Paola he was aware of the situation and had my food ready to go. He was also very sweet and understanding and very apologetic. They went over and beyond with making this right by giving me not only a remade salad, but also a free entrée on them for next time to make up for this issue. I tried really hard for Sebastian to not issue this out as I believe he had already made it right, but he insisted that I take the free entrée item for next time as they are sincere apologies. I've always really loved Mendocino's farm and friendly staff and I would like to know that I've never had any other issue with any other orders here. I'm happy to know that when there is an issue, their staff is understanding and accommodating enough to be able to make it right.l for their customers. I really appreciate this and will always be back here!
