    We're going five stars for the patties and fries. My oldest son is a fan of five guys and in & out, so we haven't tried this spot even though we walk by it almost weekly. We decided to give it a shot after a late soccer practice -- they are open very late! My son got a double smashed and I went with the BBQ & bacon. The quality of the meat was definitely noticeable. A good char, juicy inside, and lots of flavor. I prefer a medium rare but most of these places cook their burgers to medium or medium well and you can't adjust. The garlic fries were My son thought they give five guys (his favorite fry in town, after a thorough research project) a run for their money and surpass with the garlic. There is plenty of indoor seating and a few tables outside. The service was professional. Not as friendly as some places, but definitely appreciated.

    Double mission burger
    Kevin T.

    All around pretty clean execution on a gorgeously juicy burger. Painless ordering process with plenty of peeps up front, online orders, or touchscreen ordering. Staff even brought the whole thing out for you if you dine in, so pretty on top of things for what's basically fast-food. MickyDs eat your heart out, this is serious competition. The burger can get a tad messy, but it is so decadently constructed all is forgiven. Just be ready for that before you start though, so napkins at hand and all. A single is definitely enough for most peeps, with a double burger for the extra hungry.

    Came back to try their Grilled Chicken sandwich. It's cheesy and chicken isn't dry. The Melt doesn't disappoint

    Ordered our food to go. Got the double mushroom burger added an extra egg and tomatoes, it was big and delicious just needed some ketchup, . It comes with a side of a large pickle, you take a bite of your burger and then a bite of your pickle. The next order was the mac & cheese with bacon and chicken. The portion size is big and worth the money. It was really good.

    first timers and was expecting more to be honest. the place was full so we had high expectations also from social media reviews. we got the spicy mission burger, garlic fries and the strawberry lemonade. the burger was a little bland and didnt have much flavor besides the sauce that was on it. the fries were also kind of plain for it being garlic fries. the food was just alright here

    Didn't expect service at all instead what a great service, easy to order whether you want to self serve or at the cashier. The place is well lit and clean and service was good. We ordered garlic fries, cheese with bacon, grill chicken with mushrooms, and mushroom melt burgers, all were grilled with garlic flakes, melted cheese, added fresh spinach, not your typical lettuces and tomatoes. Milk shakes were freshly made. Wait, did I mention great service? The cashier went around and ask everyone inside if their burgers were made ok, if we needed anything else or anything missing, we got the # buzzer to go get our food instead he helped my son to bring our food to the table. The only thing my wife didn't like was both burgers and fries were a bit salty which for guys that's a plus!! Great to go with a beer! Cheers!

    I had the pleasure of interacting with Laura. She was unbelievably sweet and helpful with my indecision decisions about my meal. I ended up getting the steak melt, it's so delicious. The ambience here is unmatched. They have a welcoming team , uphold cleanliness, and are super attentive. I would definitely come here again!

    I'm not a huge burger person, but occasionally I do crave one, and the other day, this place hit the spot! I think this was great for a line order burger restaurant. I ordered the Spicy Mission Meltburger and my boyfriend ordered the BBQ Bacon Meltburger. These were large, juicy patties that covered the whole area of the bun without being so big that it's difficult to actually eat the burger. I enjoyed the Spicy Mission combination with pepper jack, jalapeños, avocado and spicy sauce, as it had a kick but was well balanced overall. We also ordered sweet potato fries, which were just the right level of crispy and soft. Will definitely come back to try a melt classic or crispy chicken sandwich, as well as some mac n cheese!

    STEAK & CHEESE, TOMATO SOUP, chocolate milkshake
    Andrew T.

    There is plenty of parking in the area primarily in the garage area. There's outdoor and indoor seating. You order through the kiosk. The food didn't take too long to come out. The interior is spacious and modern. Their chocolate milkshake was enjoyable. Their melted classics are delicious and flavorful. My favorites are the patty melt and steak & cheese. The tomato soup went well with it.

    Missing bun on BBQ Bacon Melt Burger (left)

    It took us a while to discover The Melt in Sunnyvale, despite going to downtown Sunnyvale often. We just never walked down that part of McKinley. We only noticed it when there was an outdoor event where they closed off the block to set up booths. We strolled down the block to look at the booths for the event and discovered The Melt (and Urban Plates) near the end of that block, then made a note to come back another time. We were excited to check out The Melt. The burgers looked delicious and we had high expectations. Unfortunately, our first time trying The Melt left us disappointed. We ordered 2 burgers (the BBQ Bacon and the Shroom burgers) plus a Cookies & Cream milk shake. When we got home and opened the lids, we discovered that the BBQ Bacon burger was missing its top bun (see photo). How does this even happen? The person who closed the lid and packaged everything into the take out bag did not even notice that the burger had a missing bun?! Talk about lack of attention to details. We did not order the burger "without a bun". The label on top of the lid does not even say "no bun" (see photo). This is a pretty big quality control issue. That said, the rest of the BBQ Bacon burger was yummy. We were still disappointed that we got "less" than what we ordered. The Shroom burger was also delicious. I would get this again. Someday. Or maybe never. I dunno. I am not yet ready to give The Melt a second try when there are so many other burger restaurants that have never made such a huge error on my orders. Our Cookies & Cream milk shake was pretty good. I loved how they have a drink carrier that keeps it upright in the bag when you take it home (see photo). I like how they have a covered outdoor seating area in front of the restaurant. Sometimes it's nice to be outside while not having the hot sun beating down on you. There's inside seating, a few regular tables and a high table. Parking in the area is pretty easy. There's some street parking, and also nearby garages.

    I always wanted to try this place. I came here for a lunch date. The service was really good, it's located in a business center with plenty of free parking. We ordered on the kiosk, but the person at the counter was hella nice and helpful. I just got a single burger, the ratio was actually hella good. We also ordered the mac and cheese, I think it's a lowkey sleeper hit. HELLA good especially for the price. The drinks were good as well. I have no complaints, I would come here again.

    Yummy burgers. The fries were good too. Located in the heart of Sunnyvale downtown. The restaurant is very spacious with lot of seating inside and outside. My kids loved the Mac & Cheese. It was creamy and delicious.

I think their chicken meals and chicken wings are far superior to their chicken sandwiches. Their batter can get a bit oily and since there's no rub on the wings, there's nothing to really soak it up unlike the other form factors. Their really dynamic in how they serve your food so you can get the sauce for the wings tossed or on them, you're choice. If you like spicy wings at all, I'd go for the mango habanero. Good heat, about 1/2 an unseeded jalapeno's worth, while having all the fruity habanero notes. I dipped the chicken in that. Their spicy here is about 1/2 a seedless jalapeno. Don't expect really spicy if you're going here. I would not get the chili garlic unless I desired to ward of vampires. You can upgrade the fries in your meal to Cajun fries and I suggest you do so. The sweet and spicy fries are just Cajun fries with cheese and sauce topped on, so I would go with the Cajun fries. The mashed potatoes here are good, very butter and cream forward. The service here for ordering has been spectacular. Do note that for the most part, they sit in the back so just act confused and/or make some noise and someone should come and help you. They got the World Cup playing right now. The tables themselves are clean enough and not too sticky considering. They'll give you some sauce and napkins but if you want more or togo boxes, it's all self-service. Special sauces are provided on request.

The sauce and the wrapper itself did not really go together. It felt like two cultures trying to mix and nothing really worked out here.

This trip was specifically for the 2026 release of Pliny the Younger! A once-a-year release where lines form and kegs tap quickly. I went on my own right at opening thinking I'd have to wait in some lines but I was pleasantly surprised to see a short line just around the corner into the outdoor seating area. It took 10-15 mins to get through and I found a place to stand in a packed house. They provided one Younger pour per order per person. Got one and ordered food. Food was a bit slow but obviously with so many people coming in all at opening. Ordered their double smash burger with fries. Found a group leaving and was able to sit at a table and enjoy the college basketball games / Winter Olympics while enjoying my beer. Burger was fantastic and the fries were great to munch on as the pours kept coming. No line after the initial rush and was able to get 2 more pours before getting out to meet up with the family.

Unfortunately, this experience was extremely disappointing. Every single pizza was overly salty -- to the point where it was hard to enjoy. Since this was for a work event, it was both embarrassing and frustrating. Nearly half of the food ended up going to waste because people simply couldn't eat it. What made the situation worse was the response when I called to share feedback. The conversation felt less about understanding the issue and more about immediately denying that anything could be wrong. It honestly seemed like they were more concerned that I might be calling to ask for a refund. I was repeatedly told that "all our food has the same salt." As soon as I clarified that I was not asking for money and simply wanted to provide feedback, the tone shifted quickly -- I was given a quick "thank you," and it felt like they were ready to end the call. As a loyal customer placing a significant bulk order, I expected better quality control and a more customer-focused response. Feedback should be seen as an opportunity to improve, not something to shut down defensively. Very disappointing experience this time.
