The Melting Pot has been a place I've wanted to go to ever since I knew it was a thing. Sadly the one in Birmingham closed several years ago so I never got to try it, but when my friend group found out there was one in Destin we made a reservation immediately! The restaurant is pretty spacious and with the high walls around our booth made it seem like we were the only ones at the restaurant which was so nice and relaxing. Our server was exceptional and really went above and beyond in every way. From taking our group photos to answering all of our menu questions and even giving us more fruit to dip with at the end. We decided to order two of the Big Night Out course at $70 per person but split amongst 4 of us. We chose the Wisconsin cheddar as our cheese fondue, both a caesar and a house salad, two feasts cooked on the grill as our entrees, and the Yin & Yang as our chocolate fondue dessert. Everything was amazing! The Wisconsin cheddar was an excellent choice to dip our breads and veggies in. They also gave us some fruit to dip into cheese which was unusual but we did it! Next up we grilled our feast items petite filets, teriyaki steaks, garlic pepper steaks, chicken breasts, chicken potstickers, dry rub pork, and a colossal shrimp. It was fun to grill our own food, but also a lot of work so if you just want the fondue experience I would recommend just doing the 3 course options to omit the entree. And last but not least was the Yin & Yang dessert fondue. This was so heavenly! I love that we got to try both the white chocolate and the dark chocolate. The desserts and the fruit were the perfect combinations. The cakes, rice krispies, and toasted marshmallows were my favorite to dip. On a final note, this was an exceptional meal but just be prepared to be there for a while. Looking at the time stamps of my photos we got there at 6:30 and received our desserts around 8:40pm. It was fine for us as we were relaxing and enjoying every course of our meal, but if you have plans for after dinner I would definitely bring that to the waiter's attention and also know what you want to order before coming here. read more

We came for dinner after a long road trip. The staff was friendly. We were greeted and checked on a few times by the GM which was nice. The food was GREAT as were the drinks. The seating was tucked away and created a cozy, private ambiance. They also offer military discounts which is a plus. There is ample parking since it is located in a small shopping center. read more

Have been to another melting pot in TN. This one is in Destin, FL. Went for special occasion & ordered the 4 course dinner for 2 @ $140. It was a huge amount of food. You get several different cheese options, we opted for the French onion cheese fondue. Comes with different breads & veggies, very good & filling. Then you get 4 different salad options, we opted for Ceasars salad. It was real good & fresh. I was going to get bacon ranch salad, but I asked if the dressing was made in house, they said no it's just ranch & they add peppercorns. No thanks. Main course is 4 pieces of filet, but I think it might have been a different cut. The sauces were real good. You also got marinated steak, it was ok but kinda weird taste. You had chicken, pork & 1 large shrimp & 1 potsticker. The chocolate turtle fondue was awesome eith several dippers. Strawberries bananas, brownies, pound cake, marshmallows. Overall it was a nice dining experience, best part was the cheese fondue & chocolate fondue. Wasn't crazy about the meats. It was nice & quiet & our server was there for any questions & checked back with us appropriately. read more

We love fondue. It's such a leisurely way to enjoy a meal. We opted for the Dinner for 2. Started with a cheese fondue of your choice - we tried the new French onion cheese- then we each had a salad, then the main course - we chose the Asian style with pot stickers- and topped it off with Flaming Turtle fondue. Great way to celebrate! read more

I went on a last-minute trip to Pensacola. After seeing, there was a melting pot not far from me. I had to go since the one here is closed. I sat at the bar since I was by myself and had the same great experience I've always had. I'd simply have a few drinks cheese and chocolate, and was lucky enough to catch happy hour. The bartender was awesome. He was busy, but he did his best to make sure I was taken care of even with the health department popping in. I still felt no lapse of service. read more

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE~ We were waited on by Ryan R. She was so sweet and certainly did a fine job at explaining how it worked. We didn't know we would be cooking our food until we ordered LOL but the experience was amazing and the food was DELICIOUS! We also had a couple drinks that were great, including the Love Martini. We had a very private booth and the lighting was great. It was such an intimate experience with my partner and I am excited to go back again. We got the big meal that included everything but the lobster tails. Maybe 125$? But totally worth it! We also had the Yin Yang fondue....goodness. We ate the whole thing. They also offer a lot of additional packages (like champagne, teddy bears, etc). We didn't get any of those, but we had a great time without!! Highly recommend for a romantic date with your loved one. read more

We have had great meals at many Melting Pot locations and we LOVE the Destin location. The servers and staff are great. The food is super fresh, the pace is perfect, and the price is very reasonable for the experience. My son and I recently went and he badgered me to go back - I said ok, but only during Happy Hour when you get a discount. Our second meal (just days later) was just as great. The manager/owner was super nice and made us feel like special guests and appreciated - you rarely see that kind of customer service today. We look forward to returning and our opinion is Melting Pot is awesome and this location in Destin takes it to an even greater level of Awesome! read more

Brody really made our night. I was wanting to make my girlfriend's birthday something special and his interactions with us were real and genuine. Our table was tucked away in our own private alcove and covered in real rose petals. Dinner was awesome and we were well taken care of the entire time. After our delicious 4 course meal, we were brought a handcrafted dessert made with our favorite dessert dippers. Thanks again, Brody for making us feel welcome in a new place. read more

Few things.... 1. Amazing food & amazing experience, it was so delicious and fun to try something new. The food was delicious and gives room to try more. 2. The environment is so clean and well decorated inside; i loved the vibe and even how private the booths are. 3. I found it disrespectful hearing that other customers were complaining about the wait...it's crazy to know how impatient people can be knowing it's a melting pot experience and still complain i felt awful for our waiter that was given a hard time from them. When he was doing great! 4. Kane R. our waiter; was so pleasant, he made the experience great overall helped us choose what would be best for our first time and was so patient even with a crowd. He was such a sweetheart even after the hard time other customers were giving him, i found that so professional; he kept that positive attitude. As well as our host that was the manager i believe, great staff! -Monica R. read more

Fantastic experience! Michael was phenomenal, we would recommend this place over and over again!!

3.2/5. When you come here I'd say you're paying more for the experience and less for the food so keep that in mind. The presentation of the meal given the price was not what I expected. For starters we had what looked to be a bowl of shredded cheese from a bag I would have gotten from a grocery store and that was placed into our melting pot. I get that the cheese melts better when shredded but it just had a cheap feel to it. I would have almost preferred it came out already melted. The plate of breads and such to go with the fondue was alright but be prepared to run out of cheese before you're finished with the dippers. The other thing that made it feel less special was when the main course came out I saw what were seasonings that would have just came from my kitchen salt and pepper shaker which I bought from Walmart. It would have been nice if they were in a non labeled and fancier shaker as opposed to something just grabbed off the shelf from the grocery store. The app idea was cool so that's something to appreciate. All in all, the price would feel a little more justified if some key details were noted. I'd recommend this place for a dessert or something but the experience is the only way to justify the price and that needs a bit more tweaking. read more

Food was incredible and service was amazing! We loved the cheese dip and dessert option! Crème puffs are a must!

We went there for NYE dinner and they had a set menu. A little too smoky for me personally but the tables setting give good privacy, the food was delicious, and the service was... interesting... Brandon explained us the process and told us step by step how to proceed. It was an amazing experience. read more

My husband and I came here during vacation to celebrate my birthday! It was the most amazing experience of a meal I have ever had. Our food was so delicious and the chocolate fountain was to die for! I am so thankful to our server who was so personable and friendly. He was knowledgeable on the menu and explained it well while also being truthful on his opinions which we always appreciate! He was very accommodating and was able to switch and move around anything that we wanted! We had our own little nook room off to the side so it felt very private and it was all around amazing. read more

Had dinner here with my family on a Tuesday night. Service was great at first, but slowed down considerably as it seemed our waiter was the only waiter working and he had other tables. The overall feel of the place is depressing and it doesn't appear to be well maintained. The food was average at best which I expect better when you're paying close to $300 for dinner and that's with no alcohol. The highlight was dessert. I feel like I'm being generous giving three stars. read more

Michael was an amazing server! He handled our Girls' Night party with ease!!! Great service!

Michael was great! Wonderful dining experience! The food was delicious. I got the 4 course meal and the meat lovers! Highly recommend

Honestly can't see why people give the upmost disrespectful attitude. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing, inside looked and was clean and nice. Very appealing to the eye. Tonight Kane was our server. He has a great personality and very amazing customer service. The manager working at the time was very welcoming and a great host, very respectful and friendly to us when we walked in and immediately introduced us to the place and food very thoroughly when we said it was our first time. Going back to Kane he was a very down to earth and respectful young man, very genuine as well. He was a great server and was working really hard. Despite the place being very busy tonight he made me and my wife feel comfortable and very respected. People were impatient and giving him a hard time which I can't see why they'd act like that. Overall experience and food a 5 star. Kane deserves it all very bright future for him. read more

Fun time for parties or just a couple. Happy Hour is recommended. Great for celebrations.

This was such a lovely date spot. We were walked into our own little room where we enjoyed cooking our own food and choosing our own flavors to dip it in. We enjoyed salmon, shrimp, pasta, tuna, chicken, beef, and vegetables. Our server was very sweet and thoughtful and brought extra desserts to dip. The big night out for two is the way to go if you want to save some money and order just about everything. It was $95. The atmosphere was clean and the place is romantic. Staff is wearing masks. We will return in the future. read more

I'm just going to describe my experience and let you decide if it's worth it. (We still tipped $20) We were sat, and were not greeted or offered drinks for 17 minutes. There was a mixup with the hostess and waitress- understandable. We ordered drinks, 2salads, 1 entree, and dessert (with $11 add-ons). We received drinks, 1 entree, and dessert - no add-ons. The waitress seemed to brush everything off as someone else's fault. It was not busy enough for the service we received. It also seemed to be well staffed. It was a 2 hour experience, expensive, and not worth it to us for those reasons. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience even though I almost always dread going to Melting Pot ...and I've been plenty of times; even to the original one in Maitland so many years ago back home in Orlando. I don't want to be a spoil sport but I'm going to be and say that I usually have a really hard time throwing a hundred dollar bill at a small crudités platter and some cheese, boiling up some tid bits of meat, and a few dippy nibbles of dessert. ...but when someone gives you a prescription for happiness, you fill it without complaint and you come here when they ask you to and while I thought I put a good distance between me and this place in my divorce; damn it our daughter has somehow discovered the joy of fondue. Damn it!!! Anyway, we Loved our experience here. The atmosphere was just wonderful and so was the food. Our service was well beyond expectations. ...and I got that yelpie 10% check-in discount ha ha. And thank you very much, for having Guinness on offer at a price far less than anyone else. Now I have a reason to come here just for that. lol Had an Amazing night out thanks to Skyler! read more

MY dining experience at The Melting Pit Destin was absolutely exquisite! Where do I even begin... First of all, our waiter was charismatic as he thoroughly described to us the complex menu, and delicately crafted an experience best fitted to us. Second of all, the Bacon Mac N Cheese fondue was out of this world! And the waiter always made sure to attend to our needs. Since it was my special birthday dinner, he made sure to make the night extra memorable for me and my friends. All the fondue was amazing, and we will forever remain best fondue friends forever!! read more

Pretty good food. I'm not a huge fan of the entree options. I'd rather just have it already cooked for me lol. If I came back, I would only come for the dessert. read more

Save your money and go literally anywhere else. Or at least ensure you don't get Brandon as a server. He was awful. I wanted so badly to keep giving him a chance but his DGAF was immeasurable. I knew it was going to be bad when he first greeted us, he put a tray of someone else's dirty dishes and silverware right in front of me to take out his notepad to write our drink order down. Nasty. Then, he brought out my salad, he noticed the dressing was missing, said he'd go get it. Never did. Noticed aloud when he cleared the salad that he didn't bring the dressing but never apologized or offered to bring it again with dressing. Just took it, so I never even got to eat it. There was such a significant amount of time between each portion of our meal, that I kept wondering if he just walked out and quit. Then, just when I would be about to go look for another server or manager, he'd pop by, out of nowhere after 15-20 minutes. Never saw him attending to any other tables, in comparison to the rest of the staff that I was seeing constantly running around tending to theirs. Our dinner for 4 people took almost 3 hours from arrival to finally flagging him down and getting him to run our card. The table next to us was sat TWICE with 4 tops and both were in and out before we had even paid our bill. He brought the sauces out with a raw shrimp tail in one of them. We asked for a new one, he was very annoyed that he had to get a new one. Silverware was greasy and sticky with fingerprints all over them. Not sure if that was the restaurants fault or Brandon's. Needless to say, disgusting. This was the biggest waste of money ever, all $301.78 of it for 4 people and I will never go back or recommend anyone else go there for that matter. read more

The Melting Pot - It's gonna be GREAT! - Fondue Near Me - Destin, Florida

Our first time going to The Melting Pot together and it was a very fun experience/date night! Pricey, but I highly recommend coming here, especially if you have a special occasion and want to try something new. I made reservations ahead of time and they asked if we were celebrating anything special. I let them know we were celebrating my boyfriend's graduation and the lady told me she could put a card as well as chocolate covered strawberries, which they did. It was a nice surprise for my boyfriend! We started with the Classic Alpine fondue, then shared The Classic and Steak Lovers cooked in the Coq au Vin fondue, and ended with the Flaming Turtle. All the fondue cooking styles that we got were the recommended ones on the menu, so we decided to play it safe. Happy to say we weren't disappointed! At first I thought the amount of meat wouldn't be enough for us, but it ended up being the perfect amount to leave us stuffed. We were very excited for the filet (we saved it for last) but it wasn't as good as we thought it would be. The garlic pepper sirloin was our favorite and luckily we got a lot of that since it's in both The Classic and Steak Lovers. I'm not too big on chicken, but we also both loved the herb-crusted chicken breast (in The Classic). For those with kids, I believe there is a kids menu that isn't too pricey, so they can join in with you and have a fun experience as well. Overall, very satisfied with our experience. Although it is very pricey, you have to remember you're paying for both the food and the experience. ***Shout-out to our waiter last night - I believe his name is Tyler. He's very personable and an all-around great waiter/host! DIRECTIONS: We had trouble following directions to get here, and the construction around it didn't help. We finally found the place by using: 11394 Emerald Coast Pkwy, Miramar Beach. Do not use the 98 Highway one listed here on Yelp unless you want to end up in some random rich neighborhood. read more
