    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.

    SPICY MISSION MELTBURGER

    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.

After a while, more guests started eating but overall there is a lot of space, so I wouldn't worry about not finding a table. After ordering, we waited for our food for 15 minutes. We ordered 2 Macho Crispy Chicken Sandwiches and Curly Fries. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, but the portion was small. The sandwiches were on the pricey side, compared to sandwiches you can find at chains. We ate the curly fries to complement our sandwiches. The fries were crispy and comparable to those at Jack in the Box. To conclude, I would probably come here again because I like the texture and taste of crispy chicken sandwiches. I would recommend this spot to foodies looking for an Asian-flavored burger spot.

The fried chicken sandwich itself was pretty great, you have to love breading because the breading is very very heavy, but the meat itself was just as juicy. Very very fair pricing for such a huge burger and in a very nice location as well. The tender beef wrap was not so great at all, the beef was far from tender and more chewy than anything. 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.

Living with multiple food allergies can make eating out stressful and, at times, discouraging. Many restaurants try their best, but it's rare to encounter someone who goes as far above and beyond as Jason did. From the very beginning, Jason took my allergies seriously. Rather than treating them as a simple modification request, he took the time to understand my specific concerns and personally communicated with the chef to ensure every precaution was taken. What impressed me most was that he didn't just ask once and move on--he followed up multiple times throughout the process, making sure every item I received was prepared as safely as possible. His level of attention and care gave me confidence that my health and safety truly mattered. Jason's kindness was evident in every interaction. He patiently answered questions, verified ingredients, and double-checked preparation methods. Instead of making me feel like my allergies were an inconvenience, he made me feel welcomed and valued as a guest. That level of empathy means more than people without food allergies may realize. The extra precautions taken in the kitchen were remarkable. Jason coordinated with the chef to ensure separate cooking methods were used whenever necessary and that steps were taken to minimize any risk of cross-contact. My food was packaged separately and clearly distinguished from the rest of the order, which immediately showed me how much thought had gone into keeping my meal safe. Even more touching were the notes left on the packaging specifically for me. Those small details demonstrated a level of personal care that is incredibly rare in the restaurant industry. Because of my allergies, my meal options were understandably limited. I ordered a plain burger with sautéed green beans, while my friends enjoyed several different burgers from the menu. Although my meal was simple, it was prepared perfectly. The burger was cooked exactly as requested, allowing the quality of the meat to stand on its own, and the green beans were fresh, tender, and flavorful. Most importantly, I was able to enjoy a restaurant meal with confidence instead of anxiety. My friends thoroughly enjoyed their burgers as well, commenting on the flavor, quality, and preparation. It was wonderful that everyone at the table could have a great dining experience, despite having very different dietary needs. What touched me most from this visit isn't just the food--it's the care. Jason's willingness to communicate with the chef, verify ingredients, package items separately, use special preparation methods, and personally check in throughout the process transformed what could have been a stressful experience into an enjoyable one. For those of us with food allergies, being able to order food safely is something we never take for granted. Jason made that possible. Exceptional customer service is often defined as exceeding expectations, and Jason exceeded mine at every step. His professionalism, compassion, attention to detail, and genuine concern for guest safety are truly commendable. I am incredibly grateful for the effort he put into accommodating my allergies and ensuring I could enjoy a meal without worry. Experiences like this create loyal customers, and Jason is a perfect example of how kindness and care can make a lasting impact.

It was my first day quitting cigarettes cold turkey after 25 years, so I wasn't about to risk my shake experience with a possible dud. The strawberry shake hit the spot, or as the youngins say "It hits." The burger and fries were delicious too, or as the youngsters say "Mad fire bro."

I live in San Jose now, so I don't make it over as often, but I've always considered it one of my favorite places for a great burger. In fact, I was just telling a coworker this week how good their burgers were, which is what convinced me to stop in for lunch today. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. I ordered a burger, my wife had the chicken tenders, and we shared an order of cheese fries. The burger arrived completely undercooked. The pictures don't even do it justice--it wasn't just rare, it was raw. After a few bites I realized the meat wasn't even warm in the center. Since they use pre-formed patties, I'd think cooking them consistently would be one of the easier things to get right. By the time I realized how raw it was, I'd already eaten a few bites, and the meal was ruined. We ended up spending about $50 on a lunch that was essentially inedible. It was also 1:00 p.m. on a Saturday, and the restaurant was surprisingly empty. Maybe that's a sign that things have changed, but it's sad to see. As a longtime customer, this wasn't the experience I expected from a place I used to recommend without hesitation.
