Stopped here for lunch with a friend that was visiting. It had vegan options so was helpful for her since she had diet restrictions. The pulled pork sandwich was so good. Milkshakes were good to. It was a nice spot for a casual lunch. read more

Nate had amazing service! He was very kind, welcoming, accommodating as well! I enjoyed what I got it was pretty good the Empire State chopper and I got the cheese dipping sauce my friends liked what they got as well. They thought it was going to be a little more flavorful but it was still good! I would definitely come back to try other options on their menu! There isn't a ton of seating but it is cute inside the restaurant it fits the vibe! read more

Stopped at the Melted Madness and took home a Gluten Free Phillylicious Home! Sooo Cheesie! It was soo good! I was just happy I was able to enjoy a grilled cheese!! It served with a side sauce and potato chips made " In House" . It's a small place with 4tables. No bathroom but they keep hand sanitizer there and enough napkins. Music is poppin! 90s beats playing! Makes you want to dance and workers ate all very friendly and polite. Now I know where to go for some GF grilled cheese! read more

What a killer new spot on Main Street! They're serving up some crazy grilled cheese options and other comfort foods. We came in on a Friday night and they weren't too busy but had a steady flow of customers. Only a couple tables inside so it's more takeout vibes - which we'll be doing plenty of in our future! The staff here is amazing and so friendly to anyone who walks in. AND they're women owned! We got a few grilled cheese sandwiches to try including their signature Melted Madness which was a triple-decker grilled cheese. This would be perfect after a night out or to cure a hangover... it's CHEESEY AF. Their Empire State Chopper was our favorite. It's their take on a chopped cheese and it's perfect! This will definitely be our go-to order. We also tried the Philylicious and Cheesy Parm Parm and both were great. I loved the focaccia on the parm but could use more garlic. They also have some heavy hitters for apps including their homemade mozz sticks which were THICC with cheese and their grilled cheese roll-ups were so fun! Their mac & cheese is a must order - whether it's fried or as a side. If it comes with cheese, it's a must order here. They have unique drinks options like housemade lemonades, seltzers and milkshakes that were to die for. Our only regret is we were too full to try a sweet grilled cheese. 10/10. We can't wait to come back! read more

It was hard not to take a few minutes to write a review after seeing how much the owner cares about running a successful business! Service was amazing - super friendly and great communication. Overheard them explaining to the table next to ours that some of the items they ordered is still a recipe in the works of being perfected and to let them know if there were any need for improvement. The food came out pretty quickly and was really flavorful. The BBQ pulled pork was drenched in sauce and made for a five napkin grilled cheese situation but honestly with the sandwich being so finger licking good, it didn't even matter. I didn't even bother opening the dipper that came with my sandwich because it was so flavorful on its own! read more

We were so impressed by this place! Love the vegetarian options on their menu. We got the shroomania and mac attack grilled cheeses. Both were so good and came with dippers and chips. Chips were fresh and seasoned well. It's clean inside and there are a few tables to eat at. Service was quick. We also got two Italian sodas (not pictured) which were surprisingly so good. read more

I found Melted Madness while watching "Mostly" healthy food reviews on YouTube. Claude (YouTuber) ordered a vegetarian Tofu Grilled Cheese with Lobster. I don't eat Lobster but I wanted to give the establishment a try out. They have Vegetarian Grilled Cheese, Sweet Grilled Cheese, Salads, Milkshakes, and decadent Grilled Cheese. As soon as my daughter and I walked in, we were greeted by the staff and the staff was very welcoming. The bright yellow colored paint sure was inviting but not too much on the eye. My daughter and I decided we would just start with the regular Grilled Cheese which was called Melted Madness since it was are first time here. Plus, we wanted to start out with the original to see if a regular Grilled Cheese was good. My daughter also ordered an Irish Carmel Milkshake. The Grilled Cheese was loaded with four different cheeses and they also gave you an option for a dipper sauce. My daughter and I decided to go with Tomato Basil. The Grilled Cheese was very cheesy but the sandwich was able to hold all the cheese together considering they used four different cheeses and it looked like regular bread, but I'm not complaining. It brought me back to my childhood but this Grilled Cheese was definitely decadent. This is definitely not the hood Grilled Cheese my mother used to make but my mother can make a mean Grilled Cheese. I was kind of on the border with the Tomato Dipping Sauce because I'm really not a fan of Tomato Soup. My daughter picked it out so we went with that. My daughter said the dipping sauce was good, so I dip my Grilled Cheese in and it was okay. In my opinion, it didn't need the sauce. The sandwich was good by itself but there are a variety of dipping sauces that you can try. The Grilled Cheese was delicious but the only critique is that I didn't get that crispy texture on the edges of the bread. You can taste the different flavors of cheese, you get the buttery taste of the bread, but I was missing the crispy edges. All in all, the Grilled Cheese was definitely delicious and the staff are outgoing, pleasant, and welcoming. I will definitely be back again soon to try other options on the menu. read more

Located at the corner of Main & Ferry Streets, Melted Madness opened recently in the former Caribbean Flavaz/Feng's Place in Downtown Middletown. The place is order at the counter, which offers takeout and delivery from online third party services (DoorDash). There are a few tables in this very bright space. They offer an interesting variety of savory & sweet grilled cheese sandwiches with vegetarian & vegan options, seafood sandwiches, salads, soups, chili, mac & cheese, fried appetizers, poutine, cake slices, milkshakes, refreshing madness drinks, and cold cooler drinks. Each grilled sandwich includes a warm dipper cup (choice of soup, gravy, melted cheese, or chili/sweet sauces). The prices here seem fair with a classic grilled cheese with dipper starting at $4.99 and most signature sandwiches with dipper $10.75 to $11.99, prices in 2023. While traveling through the area, I stopped by Melted Madness recently for takeout dinner. I took a peek at their menu in the shop before placing my order online. I ordered a Mac Attack ($10.99 plus tax) with a chili dipper and a Fish Hash Stack ($12.50 plus tax) with a creamy shroom dipper, which was ready in about 20 minutes after placing the order. I enjoyed my food back at my vehicle. The Mac Attack was loaded with mac & cheese, caramelized onions, melted provolone & muenster cheeses, grilled bacon, & chipotle mayo between grilled Texas toast slices. I enjoyed dipping into the hearty meat & bean chili. The Fish Hash Shack had a fried flounder filet, melted provolone & pepper jack cheeses, pickled onions, tartar sauce between two deep fried hash brown patties. The creamy shroom soup dipper was a great pairing for this cheesy fish hash brown stack. I finished both sandwiches & dippers which was very tasty and filling for my impromptu dinner. I would definitely return to try some other grilled cheeses like the Empire State Chopper, Cheesy Parm Parm, and the Seoulful Fishwich. read more

I went to Melted Madness for the first time recently and it was nothing short of amazing! Located at the corner of Main St. and Ferry St. in Middletown, the inside is pretty small, with just a few tables to sit at. There's a self-serve kiosk where you can place your order, but I chose to order at the counter. The menu includes appetizers like poutine and grilled cheese roll-ups, "Savory" and "Sweet" grilled cheese sandwiches, seafood options, vegan/vegetarian options, and milkshakes. I opted for the "Melted Madness," which is a triple decker grilled cheese with melted crunchy cheese on the outside. It came with homemade chips and a side of tomato basil soup for dipping. Everything was so delicious! The grilled cheese was just as advertised- crunchy on the outside, and gooey on the inside. I ordered a Smores milkshake to drink and it was so good! After finishing my meal, the staff came out and gave me a complimentary "Sweet Hawaiian" grilled cheese for dessert, which they said was a new menu item. It was white toast with grilled pineapples, caramel, sweet cheese, and mozzarella. It came with a caramel dipping sauce. Now I would never even think to put pineapple on a grilled cheese, but this sandwich was AMAZING! The absolutely perfect dessert. The staff were super friendly and attentive, checking on me several times to make sure I was all set. I will definitely be going back in the near future! read more

Made me feel ill and cost me so much money for two bad sandwiches. Don't get the cheese sauce, that stuff is disgusting. Order of tater tots came with 5 small tater tots and more gross cheese sauce. The grilled cheeses were so greasy it's like they deep fried them. read more

I thought the amount of food they gave you was a lot. The food tasted delicious, and the cheese pull was out of this world. The food came out extremely quickly, and everything was prepared nicely. The restaurant is smaller so there isn't enough room to bring the whole family. read more

Tonight was me and my boyfriend's third time getting Melted Madness and it's always so delicious. Tonight I got the Empire State Chopper with the tomato basil dip and I think it's my favorite so far. The Mac attack grilled cheese rollups, and really any of the milkshakes are also amazing though. The food is amazing as well as the staff! They are all very friendly and very welcoming every time we come in. I highly recommend this place! read more

The Melted Madness - Empire State Chopper with Tomato Basil Dio - Sandwiches Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

This was an unexpected surprise. Having been to the other grilled cheese place that is now gone, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had the cheesy chicken parm parm on focaia bread that was wonderfully crisp but not too much so. The cheese was yummy, just would have like a little more chicken but that was ok since the cheese part was good. The chips on the side were good, it was interesting salty & sweet I think. My friend got the classic which looked crispy on the outside like it was battered and fried or something but she thought it was great! Sorry no pictures this time! I'd go back for more! Oh! I also had the strawberry kiwi refresher that was good too! read more

I'm a sucker for a good grilled cheese, and Melted Madness did not disappoint! The variety on their menu is impressive, especially how they incorporated so many vegetarian and vegan options into the mix! Their Buffalo chicken grilled cheese was one of my favorites because it tasted exactly like Buffalo chicken dip! I also really liked the signature "Melted Madness" which had a layer of melted cheese on the outside of the bread! All of the appetizers we tried were delicious, and I was glad to see the majority of them were made in house. Great milkshakes and seltzers, and save room for their sweet grilled cheeses or knafeh for dessert. The owner was welcoming and we noticed how she took extra time to talk with customers, and her staff was just as friendly. The food came out quickly, and I just loved the vibe of the place with the walls even looking like melted cheese. Literally a cheese paradise! read more

The place is very small but comfortable. The staff very friendly and accommodating. I got the lobster cheese melt it was great highly recommend very filling read more

I purchased the salmon grilled cheese it was really good. It's a lot of cheese and I added grilled onions. I like how they chefs don't have to come in contact with the money because thru have a self order machine. This was very modern. read more

Decided to try this place out tonight and boy was that the best decision! The food is SO good. The grilled cheese options are varied and each sandwich comes with chips and a small bit of soup. I got the Shroomania and broccoli cheddar soup. The sandwichs are large and filling. The soup very nicely flavored. We also had the buffalo chicken grilled, I didn't get a bite because my husband hoovered it. My son got the tomato basil soup with his grilled cheese and has raved about it. He claims (and I quote) "I could eat here every day and not get sick of it!" He is also the one who insisted we needed to leave a review. The servers were lovely, helpful and friendly. Really I have zero complaints. I will definitely be back! read more

This place was banging! Not easy to find good vegan food but it was here. I had the vegan "chicken" parm sandwich. Bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. "Chicken" tasted like chicken and the vegan cheese was melted perfectly with the tomato sauce. Fries were hot and home made. Salted perfectly. My daughter had the real shrimp sandwich and loved it too. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be back. read more

Great sandwiches with great service, music and good atmosphere. Highly recommend for quick and delicious.

First time, tried the Vegan Chopped Cheese and it was much better than expected. In fact, It was very good. Service was friendly and food made fresh to order. They have 5-6 vegan options, hoping they add more vegan options in the future. Will definitely visit again to try other vegan options. read more

Comfort food at its best! I got the Mac attack and it was a perfect blend of cheeses, macaroni, and caramelized onions. The tomato basil dipped side was also yummy. If I have any grips it's just that the sandwich was so big it was hard to hold so I gave up and used a fork and knife. Not a bad problem to have though! A really good sized portion. The homemade chips on the side are a nice touch too. Worth a visit! read more

Went here on my birthday randomly. I was greeted by a man who asked if it was my first time (which it was) I asked him what he recommended to which he told me the buffalo chicken sandwich and the Empire State grilled cheese (a chopped cheese grilled cheese) were the top orders. I ordered the Empire State grilled cheese and man that sandwich was BOMB. So glad I stopped by the guy was super nice and asked for me to leave a review if I liked the food SO HERE I AM! Will definitely stop by here again when I'm out and about in Middle Town. read more

We had lunch here today and I can't say enough positive things about this experience. First, they have an outstanding selection of delicious fresh comfort food like grilled cheese sandwiches, poutine, french fries, mac and cheese bites, milkshakes, and a whole lot more. As you walk into this place, you're greeted by a cheery, happy, fun-loving crew that welcomes you in. Service was great and they really were above the bar. I had the Cheesy Parm Parm sandwich. It was fantastically flavorful, served on an ultra-fresh roll with your choice of dipping sauce. My girlfriend had the vegan poutine and she thought it was great too. It was a busy place at lunchtime in downtown Middletown, across from the firehouse. They had a few tables and chairs available, but you can order from a kiosk or at the counter. The ambiance is okay, and they could use some better ventilation--you'll leave smelling like delicious food all day though. But I really liked this place, and we will surely come back. The friendliness of the staff was refreshing to receive in this post-COVID dining era. read more

Delicious!! I have enjoyed this place the two times that I have gone. If you are in Middletown, you should check it out.

I currently live in Los Angeles and came to visit my parents in CT. While looking up some restaurants close to home I came across "Melted Maddness". Let me just say, I am SO glad I stopped in and gave this place a chance. I didn't know what to get but the cashier Nate walked me through everything and even suggested the "buffalo cheesy clucker" when I tell you this sandwich was fresh, tangy, and delicious!!! The ambiance of the place was welcoming and warm. I will be returning every chance I visit my parents to eventually try everything on the menu. Amazing food, great service, and overall amazing experience. read more

I love the interesting take on American classic quick meals. The owner so happen to be there. She is very pleasant and enjoy the interact with the customers which is greatly appreciated. In today's society the ambience, super dope Instagram, ready TikTok, ready the staff, easy-going, friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable of the items they have on the menu I would definitely recommend, whenever I am in town, I will stop by there again read more

Went to Melted Madness with 3 other girlfriends, we did not hold back as everything on the menu sounded amazing! I was skeptical when I walked in and saw the place was full of teens. As they were ordering through the kiosk, one of the guys came and took my order so I didn't have to wait so long. (The kids couldn't decide what they wanted). My food came pretty fast, not only that but was freaking delicious! We had grilled cheeses, soups, drinks and I got an Oreo milkshake! My broccoli cheddar soup was DEFINITELY homemade, I appreciated it so much as I love the homemade soup far more than a container soup. The grilled cheeses were exactly what you'd imagine and absolute heaven! We will all be back here and spread the word on how great Melted Madness is! read more

food wasn't very great service was outstanding but not worth the wait ! probably will not bebback

What a great experience from start to finish. From the moment you step in you get greeted but a very welcoming warm staff, the place is very inviting and affordable, the music is great and let me tell you the food is absolutely delicious. My family and I were all very impressed and happy, I truly appreciate that they have a choice for everyone including Gluten free and Vegan options. I will definitely go back read more

The Melted Madness - Sandwiches Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Tonight was my second time visiting Melted Madness, my job was to pick up dinner for my wife, my five year old and myself. The atmosphere was awesome, place is super clean out front and has a good vibe. The staff were really nice both times I've been in. The food was not ready at the time google said it would be but I understand because it's a Friday night. I did not have to wait long though as I was the only one there when I walked in. Now for the food, my 5 year old had a classic grill cheese (there was no kids menu) with cheese dipping sauce and chips. She really enjoyed dipping the chips in the cheese sauce and gave the grill cheese a thumbs up, but ate very little of it. My wife ordered a Tofusion with Tomato Basil Dip but said it was very greasy and did not taste very good. Her tomato basil dip was very watery and not good either. She made herself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead. I ordered the Empire State Chopper with chili dipping tonight, it was ok. My biggest issue is the bread and the crust. The bread was very soft, soggy and the crust was rubbery, very tough to hold. I had a similar experience when I ordered the Cheesey Parm Parm for lunch last week. I thought it was just because it was a chicken Parm and not really a grilled cheese but I guess not. The chili dipper was not good either, I've never seen chili like this before it was very watery. We also gave the buffalo wings, Mac and cheese, Tator Tots and Broccoli and Cheese bites a try. My daughter like the tots but they were very greasy and left quite a puddle at the bottom of the container. The Broccoli Bites were so greasy that they were unpleasant to eat. We threw away three out of four of them. The Mac and cheese was hard and rubbery and contained bacon, which was not listed on the online menu. (I didn't mind the bacon but customers should be made aware.) The wings were ok nothing special. Also had the peaches and cream drink tonight and the tropical drink last time I went in and both were pretty tasty. I am writing this review in hopes the owners read the review and fix the issues. I will try back in a few months to see if they got better. I am really rooting for this place to fill the void Whey Station left when they closed down. With a great group of people and atmosphere this place deserves success. read more

FANTASTIC SANDWICHES! LOVE this place- it's clean, friendly, fair priced and cranks out so many different eclectic delicious foods! Thanks for the Kimchi Nuria!! read more

How the heck do you mess up a grilled cheese sandwich??!! First of all, I came to this place to kill time. Sign said they were opened until 9PM. I walked in at 7PM and the cook and work throw a fit because they were trying to close early. I order. I sit down. The cook is slamming stuff because he's very upset that I've sat down and have my laptop out. I ask for the wifi and he says he doesn't know what it is. The food is ready now. The one young white kid yells over to me, "So that's for here? Not to go?" He had already asked me this so now it's clear, they want me to leave! Had I not already paid for my food, I would've just left right then. I sat and wait for the older black guy to roughly bag my food, but RIGHT before he does he COUGHS into his hand and then proceeds to open the bag with that same hand! When I ask him to use another bag and wash his hands, instead of doing it, he argues me down about how he coughed in his sleeve blah blah blah. He STILL put my food in the cough-filled bag and I left! Smdh.... I definitely will never go back! They were also cursing and using terrible language while I was sitting there! No customer service, NO FOOD SAFETY, the floor was sticky, the food wasn't worth it at all!!! Never again!!! Please shut this hole in the wall down!!!! read more

Not bad, but far from great. First off the music was BLASTING inside to where people and staff were screaming to order. I almost left then but I wanted grilled cheese and figured we can just eat outside. Then the food was just okay. Soggy and super greasy bread but decent flavor I guess. I like mine with more crunch and less sog. Chips were also bland and flavorless. I miss Whey Station :( they were the top grilled cheese of Middletown by far. read more

Great food have tried several items on menu. Vegan and non-vegan options all excellent. Staff friendly but music way too loud!
