    THREE CHEESE CLASSIC
    Hugo D.

    Stopped by The Melt in Torrance and had a solid experience. If you're craving a grilled cheese or a good comfort-food meal, this is definitely a spot to check out. The grilled cheese was crispy on the outside, warm and cheesy on the inside, and had plenty of flavor. The cheese was melted perfectly, and the sandwich was filling and had me feeling heavy afterwards. The restaurant has a casual, laid-back atmosphere, making it a good place for a quick lunch or an easy dinner. Service was friendly and the food came out fairly quickly. The prices are a little higher than what you might expect for a grilled cheese, but the portions and overall quality make it a worthwhile treat every once in a while. Overall, a solid place for some comfort food. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the mood for a crispy, cheesy grilled cheese.

    Mixed thoughts. My first issue is that I probably should have not gone in at 10pm. I had ordered online and paid. When I got in... to my dismay..... shake machine was not working. Bummer. I had to check to make sure I wasn't at McDonalds. Place was empty. But like I said... we went in at 10pm. We had just got out of the ER and were starving. We had been wanting to try this place since before it opened. Staff was very nice. They tried to offer replacements for the shakes. That was nice. Customer service was definitely great. Store was clean. Sandwich's are priced pretty much in competition with every other place. I had amazing hopes for this place. I ordered chicken sandwich with onion and cheese and a spicy chicken sandwich with jalepenos and onions. We also ordered garlic fries The garlic fries are DELISH!!!! The lemonades are delicious. My sandwich ..... well... for one was missing the cheese and onion. It was very dry. Thankfully I brought some mayo from there and put it on it. I was looking for something different on a chicken sandwich. Flavor that was different ... it was different. It was a little sweet which I didn't expect. It was so dry I had to wait to get home to put cheese, onion and add a mayo packet. My husband's spicy chicken sandwich was missing the jalepenos and onion. The two staff that were present were really great. I feel bad because when I was bummed that there was no shakes I think they got the impression that I wasn't trying to let them have great customer service. I'm sorry for that. I was just bummed after being stuck in the ER since 3pm to 10pm. A shake was all that was on my mind. These two staff did do everything to make us smile and leave happy. They also looked tired but smiling the entire time. I will come back to try the shake. I don't know if I want to try the chicken sandwich again maybe during earlier hours.... Maybe the taste will be different. I also am thinking of trying their Mac n cheese. Hubby said his chicken sandwich needs a re-do cause he said it was missing the onions and extra jalepenos. He said the sauce was good on his and the sandwich was not dry. In place of my $6.99 shake. I did get a cookie (haven't tried it yet), a lemonade and one coupon card to return. The lemonade was very good.

    GREAT tasting food here. My burger was fresh. The SPICY MISSION MELT BURGER 1/3 lb of Angus & Wagyu beef, chopped and grilled, topped with 2 slices of pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, avocado, lettuce and spicy melt sauce, on an artisan bun was just delicious.. The fries were nice and crispy. The soda fountain was fresh and tasty! Customer service was great. People here looked happy with their meals. You walk a short distance out the mall area to get to it across from lucilles BBQ. They have bathrooms also. I would definitely come back no question! Foot rating; Spicy Mission burger 9.0\10 Parmesan fries 8.8\10

    The free fries code got eaten up by the kiosk which never completed my order but the cashier and manager were kind enough to reimburse. If you want big sloppy burgers, this is the place. They were definitely oozing out of the bun and super greasy. Patties were well seasoned and cooked medium. Shake was pretty good and had actual (frozen) strawberries. Fries also good with nice toppings. Nice looking interior. Place was clean. Bit on the pricier side but overall a good place to have in our mall.

    We were immediately greeted by friendly staff (who also came around with cookie samples after we were seated), You can order at the kiosk or at the counter. They have several selections on the menu including burgers, mac n cheese, grilled cheese, regular fries, sweet potato fries, salads and chicken sandwiches. The food came out piping hot: everything was fresh and very tasty! I got the melt and regular fries. Their signature relish is pickles & jalapeños. I'm not big on spicy, but it was a nice combination and not too hot. There is seating inside and outside and this is close to the parking lot. I really enjoyed my first visit here. It's a great fast casual options for a burger. I'll be back!

    Finally visited this restaurant! The food portions were large. I only ordered a spicy crispy chicken sandwich and I was stuffed! Also got a kids meal - Mac and cheese and fries and a burger with fries. My son was stuffed from the Mac and cheese and couldn't eat his fries. Not necessarily a bad thing, but you definitely get your money's worth here. I'd love to try their milkshakes next time we visit. Service was quick. We ordered on the tablet and then picked up our meal from the counter when it was ready. Restaurant was clean and there was a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating.

    Another amazing experience! Thank you Jason for your great hospitality!!! Smash burger is served hot and it's so flavorful. Sweet potato fries are delicious. Best burger in the South Bay!

    DOUBLE SWISS & SHROOM MELTBURGER with jalapeños and spicy melt sauce
    Eddie D.

    Stopped by The Melt at Del Amo again and ordered the Swiss 'N' Shroom Meltburger. This time I went with the single patty and added fresh jalapeños and fresh onions. It was the right call. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and I could really taste the mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and all the toppings. The fries were hot and crispy too. I also had the pleasure of meeting my server, Rance. He was nice, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He checked in on me and made sure everything was great. I'll definitely be back. Great burger, great service, and another solid experience at The Melt.

    The quality of the burgers is unreal, specifically the meat. It is really good! I also tried the mac n cheese and you can't go wrong ordering it! My only regret is not trying their milkshakes.. You can order with Melt's employees or on their screens. They are really nice and always greeting everyone who comes in and out. The place is relatively small, but just enough tables. You can also sit outside. I can't wait to come again.

    Inside the bbq bacon cheeseburger
    Claribel V.

    I was near Del Amo Mall and craving a burger when I noticed The Melt in the mall. A coworker had recommended it before, so I decided to give it a try. My boyfriend and I each ordered a BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. He got a side of regular fries, and I went with the sweet potato fries. The burgers were tasty and served on brioche buns. The bacon could have been crispier, and I wish they had added more fried onions, but overall the burgers were enjoyable. The sweet potato fries were delicious at first, crispy with a slight sweetness, but after a while they started tasting overly salty. I think they may have been over seasoned. I tried some of the regular fries as well, and they were pretty salty too. The fountain drinks were also a little disappointing. I got a Diet Cola, and it took quite a while to fill my cup because the machine was producing so much foam from the carbonation. My biggest issue was the price. It felt pretty expensive for a fast-casual restaurant. With so many great burger spots around these days, I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back.

    Original Double burger

    This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. Customers can order through the app or use the kiosk in the restaurant. When I tried to place my order at the kiosk, the cashier told me to order directly with her because it would be faster. So I trusted her and placed my order with the cashier. However, when our food arrived, I realized that the cashier had not mentioned any of the available burger customization options. I later found out that I could have added lettuce, tomato, jalapeños, and onions. If I had ordered through the kiosk myself, I would have been able to select all of these options. Instead, my husband and I ended up eating burgers with only meat and cheese. The experience became even more unpleasant when I was paying. The cashier was very obvious about expecting a tip. When I chose not to leave one, his facial expression changed immediately, and he didn't even say thank you when he give me the receipt. I believe tipping should be a customer's choice and should reflect the service they receive. In this case, I was particularly disappointed because I followed the cashier's suggestion to order with him, yet he didn't provide the information I needed to customize my order. Unfortunately, I don't think I will dine at this restaurant again. I may occasionally order takeout, but based on today's experience, the in-store customer service was extremely disappointing. Oh also!! Strong smell on the patty...

    The Italian Job
    Toshi I.

    Been to the San Diego location and glad to hear there's one at Del Amo. I ordered the Italian Job which was delicious. Although, I do wish mushrooms were sauteed more. I tasted a bit of the Melt Burger too and it was really delicious.

    Service is top notch. Andrew, who was the cashier/server was excellent. He made sure that the burger was cooked how it was supposed to be. He was very friendly and attentive with every client while I was there eating my burger. They make sure that the meat is not undercooked or overcooked and that everything is well prepared. I am glad to see a good quality control. The burger was phenomenal. It was very delicious and dang, do I wanted one more. I got to say that out the other burger restaurants that I been to , this one is on my top 20 now. I gotta try the other burgers too.

My kiddo saw the kid behind us eat a slice of watermelon with the kids meal, so I asked if we could get a slice, too.

Our server asked me how I wanted the burger to be cooked. I asked for medium well. The burger, however, came out over cooked. Like beyond well done. It had a nice smoky flavor to it, but that was completely over shadowed by how dry the burger was. My drink wasn't any better. I was expecting it to be sweet since it's a combination of Sprite and strawberry puree. To my surprise, it only had a hint of sweetness. It seemed like they substituted Sprite for club soda or something. Finally, I should mention that my wife was not impressed with her Chicken Tortilla Soup. She pointed out that for the amount of ingredients the soup had, it tasted really bland. As far as the service, it was disappointing too. Like I said before, they did not cook the burger to the preferred doneness. Additionally, I requested that they leave out the lettuce, onions, pickles, and tomatoes from my burger, but guess what? I got them anyway. If the order had come out quicker, I would have looked past some of the miscues. But the speed of service was pretty average. Just about the only thing that exceeded my expectations was the bill at the end of our meal. It was pretty reasonable for the amount of food we got.

The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports.

The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.
