    Flaming turtle chocolate fondue
    Courtney N.

    The Melting Pot is a great place to go if you are looking for good food and an experience! I love the variety they have to offer, but if you are going with a small group/one other person I would recommend you choose someone who shares the same flavor pallet, as you need to agree on the cheese, cooking style, and chocolate! I think it's important to note that if you plan to do one of their 4 course meals, you will be there for a while. Everything has to be cooked, consumed, and cleared before your next course comes. If you get an entree, it comes raw and you cook it at the table, if that's not your thing then I would recommend you stick to the cheese and chocolate only!

    We came on a Wednesday night to celebrate our friend's birthday. I was surprised that it was very full during the week day. There were a lot of people! We chose the high tier which is $67 per person that includes everything. We did in fact enjoyed every course we have the waitress was super sweet. Many choices for our main course and taste very good. We did not order fancy drinks because they were very pricey. Man the bill was high. I normally do not spend that much for one person. So this place truly is for special occasions for ordinary people. Unless you are rich and do not mind the grow big bucks for dinner, then it is all good. I give three star just because it is very pricey.

    The staple of fondue! If you haven't been to a melting pot then you're missing out on simple entertainment here. Not only do you get to play with your food but you get to eat the food! The process is pretty simple, if you don't understand the server will explain it for you! The menu is huge so you have sooo much to choose from. This menu has great options for all diet types. This is the perfect joint for a quiet date night or bring the whole family & have a party! There's more than enough space for every one to share.

    The Melting Pot in St. Louis was the perfect spot to dive into Oktoberfest! Fondue is always a good idea, and dipping all the things in gooey cheese is heavenly. We opted for the Surf n Turf, and I shamelessly devoured almost all the "surf" part--who can resist that fresh seafood, right? #stlouispescatarianapproved The whole experience of cooking and dipping right at the table was interactive and fun. To top it off, we fully embraced the Oktoberfest spirit, donning some fun outfits, which only added to the festive atmosphere. We definitely play too much and the Melting Pot leaned in!

    Entree selection. Beautifully seasoned and comes with great dipping sauces. Try all the sauces and then ask for more your favs.

    The melting pot isn't just dinner, it's a complete fondue experience. It's about $70-80 per person to do it right so we save it for special occasions but it's worth it. Get the full experience including cheese fondue, salad choice, entrees, and chocolate dipping dessert. Coq au vin is the best cooking style. You can ask for more dippers for the cheese and dessert! You can't go wrong with any of it but don't be afraid to try something out of the standard, the best cheese is the loaded baked potato and the best dessert is the banana foster. Be prepared to eat too much, feel way too full later, and regret none of it.

    The Melting Pot never disappoints. We came here for a special dinner with my daughter for her 17th birthday. The food was great, our waiter was knowledgeable and kind, and the restaurant was clean. I love how long the experience takes with the four courses. It gave us lots of quality time to talk and laugh together. Thanks for a memorable birthday dinner!

    This is one of our absolute favorite restaurants in Stl! We came for happy hour and had the half price cheese fondue and chocolate fondue and they were absolutely delicious! We specifically really love the classic alpine cheese fondue and the original chocolate fondue. We've had Aminah R as our server the last few times we've been in and she's wonderful! She's very kind and friendly and consistently provides such excellent service! I'd highly recommend the melting pot - it's especially a perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or for a nice date night out!

    I had visited the Delmar Loop Melting Pot numerous times before they closed, so I decided to check out this location for the first time last night. We had reservations for 5:30 and arrived right on time, but we still had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. It was quite busy for a Wednesday night! Our server Jesse was wonderful. He was very attentive and energetic, and he checked in on us frequently. I definitely liked the interior of the Delmar Loop restaurant better than the Town & Country location. The restaurant was clean, but the overall mood is not as inviting. I was a little surprised by the amount of time it took for the food to come out, considering all of it comes out raw. Not exactly sure what might've caused the long wait, but the rest of our experience was great. The food was exceptional. We did the Endless Entree special for $54 per person, and it was a pretty good deal. I especially liked the seasoning on the chicken. We chose the Coq Au Vin fondue cooking style, which includes burgundy wine, mushrooms, scallions, and garlic. It was absolutely amazing! For dessert, we chose the Bananas Foster fondue. I like that they will bring out more dippers to use the remainder of the chocolate. Prior to last night, I had only ever ordered milk or dark chocolate fondue, so the Bananas Foster was a nice switch up! Overall, I had a very pleasant experience.

    my bf and me celebrate our first anniversary at the melting pot, we did the 4 courses and it was delicious. Service was good she was asking how everything was and the ambiance was really cool, very relaxed but still full with people. The main plate with entrees was delicious and the dessert was the best part

    Ok, if you want to have a lovely family dinner experience, this is the place. The kids love to cook at the table. The service are great and friendly. The food amazing, the variety of sides absolutely kids friendly. Don't skip the dessert, thats the kids favorite part when they can dipped delicious waffles, fruits or cakes in the chocolate. A lot of parking spots.

    Major fail by the Melting Pot. We were seated for 25 minutes and we're completely ignored. No greeting by anyone. Not a waiter. Not a bus person. Not a manager. Nothing. If you're swamped, stop at my table and say something. If you're the manager of this restaurant and you are unaware that your wait staff is struggling then you should be fired. We had planned a nice date night to have Oktoberfest fondue to reminisce about our fabulous trip to Germany in the summer and you ruined it. If I could give less than zero stars I would do so.

    Oh melting pot....what happened? So we got all nostalgic and decided to do a girls night at the melting pot....it's been years and I've never been to this location. We had high hopes.... First of all the young man and lady who seemed to the manager greeted me immediately were wonderful. Very friendly and when I said I was there earlier than my party directed me to the bar like I asked. This is where is kind of went downhill. The person I assumed was the bartender said hi but turned around and went back to cutting limes....ummm ok. I wanted a drink. Not really here for the lime cutting show. Waited a minute and then said I forgot my glasses in the car to the host and ducked out. Luckily there was a bar next door. Hopped in and got a drink right away and waited for my friends. Fast forward 30 minutes and we are all here so we went back to the melting pot. Seated quickly, very friendly waitress. We ordered drinks got them in a reasonable amount of time. After that time slowed apparently... we eventually got out cheese. It was good nothing extravagant. We were supposed to get some promotional items with the friends fondue they were running. We had to ask for them and when we were almost done with cheese were presented with a small bowl of meat. Probably not what it was supposed to be but ok. Salad took a while. Overloaded with dressing. We waited a long time for the chocolate course which let's face it that e-bike we are here. It was awesome. In the meantime we really wished we had seen our waitress again for drinks but that didn't really happen in time. All in all it was ok but it's way too bright and cafeteria feeling in this location. We weren't there for romance but I'm sure other people are. Turn those lights down! Unless I'm Taking kids there to just try it out once I probably won't be back.

    I'm a huge fan of Red Robin but this is maybe my second time coming to this location since years…read moreago. After taking care of business, we decided to stop for a late dinner. It was about 8:10 and they close at 9. It took a minute for someone to greet us as it looked like the we closing up for the evening. There was one other table being cared for but no other customers. Once we were seated, we were ready to order. The server was friendly and attentive. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and it was very clean with a fresh scent. The hand soap smells nice too. It appears the resturant is well kept. Our food came out in a decent time and it was so good. We'll come back to this location!

    I hadn't been to a red robin in a looooong time and I was reminded of why during this visit…read more We were a party of 3 that came in during our lunch hour since we were down the road. One from our party was running a bit late so we would order ahead of time so that by the time she got there food would be ready and we wouldn't waste time. This was not the case. While our waiter was nice, he fell short by not fighting for our food to get done or even take our order before the other two parties that arrived after us. Very disappointing. Especially since our orders took even longer? We only had about 10 minutes to eat before we had to go. Only one from our party finished his food and that was only because he scarfed everything down fast like Kirby. There was no excuse for it being busy since it was just the three parties mentioned. This is probably why the ratings are low and why it was so empty. Learned our lesson. I ordered the double. At first glance it reminded me of an in and out burger. The taste? It reminded me of a big mac. The only difference would be the fries and the classic red robin spice. Which for some reason there was none sprinkled on mine but the others in my group was drowning in it? All in all, it was just fair. We all ended up being late to work. If you work in the area and are thinking of grabbing some grub and have more than an hour, go here. If you're on a time crunch? I'd pass.

My second favorite was the one with a coffee bean on top. My third fav was the chocolate drizzle one, but an almost tie was the caramel drizzle one. They are all fantastic. I chose the fried walleye sandwich with fries. The bun was so soft, the fish was fried so fresh and the coleslaw was yummy! I would have loved a big bowl of that coleslaw! The fries were incredible. If I had to guess, I'd say they fry the fries twice. They are to die for and I'm not even a big French fry fan! My hubby had the chicken & waffles. I got to try it and I loved it! That honey(?) butter, or whatever kind of butter it was, was drool worthy magic. The chicken was crispy and tasty. The malted vanilla waffle was one of the best I've ever had. Put it all together and it's the bar by which I will judge all future chicken & waffles. Now for the desserts. I got some to go because there is no way I was skipping those options. I got a piece of wedding cake and a piece of gooey butter cake. The wedding cake was ok. I don't need a second piece. But the gooey butter cake was one of the best cakes I've ever eaten. I want to drive back to Sarah's JUST FOR THE GOOEY BUTTER CAKE! (And I'd have to have the chicken & waffles too, if I'm there, because why not). The service was amazing. All the ladies who helped us and served us were great. They worked as an efficient team. It made for a really nice atmosphere. If I'm EVER near here again, you bet I'll be back in. And I'll bring a cooler and I'll get food to eat there and take with me for later!
