I was initially a bit hesitant going here because I just thought that having a whole course consisting of dipping different food items in heavy cheese would ruin the remaining courses for me. But I'm glad I decided to go! I ordered the 4 course meal. For the first course I got the bacon jalapeño cheese and added mushrooms with it. They bring out all the ingredients in separate dishes and melt it in front of you. Accompanying it came different food items to dip. We were given tortilla chips, cubes of bread, apple, tomato, carrot, and cauliflower. I think the beat combo were the tortilla chips. I'm glad I was the only one that ordered the 4 course because if my friend had ordered it as well it would've been too much. One order was the perfect amount for 2 people. They offer to bring you extra food to dip if you need it. So my second course I got the California salad which was a nice mixture of greens, candied pecans, Gorgonzola cheese and a raspberry walnut vinaigrette. It was a simple clean dish. For the third course I ordered the Fondue Delight. It consisted of a premium filet, lobster, shrimp, chicken and wild mushroom pasta. My friend ordered just an entree which you choose 3 items. We wanted to try as many different things as possible so he got honey duck, Memphis pork and teriyaki beef. You get about 4 pieces of each so it was plenty! You will save about $20-$25 by just one of you ordering the 4 course and the other person just ordering the entree portion! We ended up upgrading our broth to Mojo which was about $6 more but gave it great flavor. Everything was accompanied by broccoli, mushroom and potato. I was worried that certain food items may not be cooked enough but everything turned out perfectly. And it was fun cooking at the table. My final course was the chocolate course. I got the Turtle course which had candies pecans in the melted cheese. We got Rice Krispies treats, brownie, marshmallow, pineapple, banana and strawberries to dip. It was delicious! Also, for checking in with yelp I got 6 chocolate covered strawberries which would've been $16.99!! All in all I would recommend this restaurant. You will leave satisfied and it was really fun! read more

My fiancé and I went to the Duluth location to celebrate his birthday. We had previously been there seven years ago and had a great time and great service. This time we didn't even make it to the dinning room. The restaurant looked dirty, dark and unwelcoming. The bar looked sad and like it had never been cleaned. The host told us we'd have to wait 10 minutes before he could be seated (even though the restaurant looked pretty empty) so I sat on the creaky and unbalanced bench. As the minutes rolled by I started to notice that there was a terribly odor in the waiting area and likely throughout the restaurant. I started to get uneasy and my fiancé thankfully picked that up. We stepped outside to get fresh air and talk. He told me that he'd noticed the smell the minute we walked in and that he was getting a bad feeling about the place. We decided to go elsewhere and thankfully there was a ramen spot next door. Okiboro Ramen was fabulous! Go there instead! read more

We never sat down to eat. Tried going for my daughter's 16th birthday having good memories of dining at a Melting Pot years ago. Immediately upon entry the front section has hanging plastic as it appears they are trying to repair or update. The entry area floor was filthy and sticky. A peak inside showed dirty floors, dusty surfaces, a worker's step stool leaned against the wall, and a terrible smell. Sadly we had to leave and eat elsewhere. Extremely unsanitary. read more

A wonderful experience for date night or a family outing. Visited the Duluth restaurant on 2/3 for the Lunch with Your Little Cupid event. We spent $46 for one adult 3-Course meal, including a broth upgrade to MoJo and a non-alcoholic beverage. The child's 3-course meal was free, All we had to do was bring in a valentine gift for a child at CHOA. Not only was the food and service above average, the event served as a good opportunity to talk to children about those who were spending the holiday in the hospital and get them to pick out of a gift to brighten the child's day. First course: cheddar cheese dip with standard accompaniment (breads, apples & vegetables) shared. This was fun for the 6 year old who attended lunch as they haven't experienced fondue before, so the entire lunch was an event. Main course: adult plate included chicken, teriyaki sirloin, shrimp and plain sirloin. The teriyaki sirloin & shrimp were the best of the four. For the child plate we did chicken and teriyaki sirloin. The vegetables (mushroom, broccoli and potatoes) were also good. The mojo broth was just ok, I'd probably try something else next time. Dessert: pure milk chocolate with dippers (banana, rice crispy treats, brownie, chocolate chip cookie, cinnamon waffles, strawberry, chocolate marshmallow). Everything was delicious. Best part, we could take home the left over dippers and chocolate. read more

We have always loved the melting pot. We went last week for an early valentines dinner. We hadn't been in a couple of years. The restaurant was very noticeably more run down than it use to be. Our waitress barely paid any attention to us. Didn't refill our drinks until the last 5 minutes. Never offered to refill the sauces that we had used. They used to offer to bring extra brocolli/mushrooms and nope that didn't happen either. The only time our waitress paid any attention to us was when it was time to pay. She said no rush but stood there and waited for us to look at the bill and get out our card. I'm not sure we will go back to that location again. read more

Girls Night at Melting Pot every 4th Thursday has ALWAYS been nothing short of amazing!! My girls and I try to go every other month to catch up! What goes better with life updates than Fiesta cheese dip, Caesar salad & a sample of all meat to cook in the classic broth!! Ladies! I'm telling you! Girls Night is a great way to experience Melting Pot!! Not only are you getting 3 courses for $25! If you someone in your party takes part in the wine flight (3 wine pairings/ 1 per course) you all can add the dessert chocolate fondue for $5 additional dollars!! You honestly can't beat that great deal! But wait! That's not all! On top of exceptional service and a knowledgeable sommelier sometimes you also are gifted with coupons! My very first Ladies Night Out we were given $25 off coupons to a service at Spa Sydell!! Take my word for it. Go experience Melting Pot! read more

My wife and I are lovers of great, tasty, enjoyable food places, and this place did not deliver on that. You hear friends or family say "Oh melting pot is great," but if you want to pay $100+ on two people for sub-par food that lacks flavor and vibrance, then by all means, have at it. The experience of fondue was ok, between the cheese portion and the chocolate portion. The cheese fondue was overpowering in alcohol flavor, however, and I could say the same for the main course broth. The main course was lacking a LOT. The hot pot flavors and grill were both inadequate in flavor composition and depth. No seasoning on any meats, beside the duck. Vegetables that came with it are almost entirely pointless. You would have to almost COMPLETELY drown the meats with the sauces they offer to enjoy it in the slightest and the vegetables, to top it off, felt like I could have spent way less and done a better job with flavor and enjoyability, had I just done it at home. It took around an hour and a half to try to make our food somewhat palatable, my wife and I trying to maintain our sanity and hunger, and by the end, it was still a disappointment. I would say, save your time and save your money because this place does not have desirable food. Does not deserve my revisit. read more

ENGLISH: A huge disappointment. We ate at the location in Buford GA. The waitress's attention was good. There were 5 of us and the booths were terribly uncomfortable. My wife and I ordered the Bigger Night Out combo which includes a lobster tail, my kids ordered the Complete Dinner for Two. In the first round they brought us a tray with pieces of bread (at least 1 day old), 4 cherry tomatoes, a few pieces of raw cauliflower, 4 baby carrots, half an apple cut into squares. The little cheese they served us (which was very delicious) was not even enough to eat that small tray. The second round was a salad that was average, nothing spectacular. In the Third round, they brought us meat, shrimp, two ravioli and the lobster tail, which we had to cook ourselves Korean Barbecue style. (Here there was no cheese or fondue to spread any of that, just some sauces in small containers that depending on your taste, you may or may not like) The lobster tail (only one for the two people) was hard to chew and difficult to enjoy. In the end we ordered the Yin & Yang chocolate fondue with dark chocolate and white chocolate. The dark chocolate was good but the white was horrible, it looked like hot hydrogenated oil. They accompanied this with some fruits and sweets that were "okay" At the end of the day, the account was $445.97 with the 20% tip (minimum tip required) which makes this an extremely overrated experience. NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING of what they served us stood out or reached the level of expectation that you could have in a restaurant of this category (at least in price). The meat course is comparable, as I said, to a mediocre Korean Barbecue that would have cost $20 dollars per person. If you are like me who enjoys cheese, YOU WILL BE DISSATISFIED WANTING MORE! . I don't think we'll go again. ESPAÑOL: Una enorme desilusión. Comimos en el local de Buford GA. La atención de la mesera fue buena. Eramos 5 y los booth eran terriblemente incomodos. Ordenamos con mi esposa el combo Bigger Night Out que incluye una cola de langosta, mis hijos pidieron el Complete Dinner for Two. En la primera rueda nos trajeron una bandeja con pedacitos de pan (de por lo menos 1 dia viejo), 4 tomates cherry, unos pedazos de coliflor crudos, 4 baby carrot, media manzana picada en cuadraditos. El escaso queso que nos sirvieron, (que estaba muy rico) no alcanzó ni siquiera para comer esa pequeña bandeja. La segunda ronda fue una ensalada que estaba normal, nada espectacular. En la Tercera ronda, nos trajeron carne, camarones, dos ravioles y la cola de langosta, que debimos cocinar nosotros mismos al estilo Korean Barbecue. (Aqui no hubo ni queso ni fondue para untar nada de eso, solo unas salsas en pequeños recipientes que dependiendo de tu gusto, puede que te gusten o no) La cola de langosta (una sola para las dos personas) estaba dura de masticar y dificil de disfrutar. Al final pedimos la fondue de chocolate Yin & Yang con chocolate dark y chocolate blanco. El chocolate oscuro estaba bueno pero el blanco estaba horrible, parecia aceite hidrogenado caliente. Acompañaron esto con algunas frutas y golosinas que estaban "bien" Al final de la jornada, la cuenta fue de $445.97 con el tip de 20% (tip minimo requerido) lo que hace de esta, una experiencia extremadamente sobrevalorada. NADA, absolutamente NADA de lo que nos sirvieron se destacó o alcanzó el nivel de espectativa que pudieras tener en un restaurante de esta categoría (al menos en precio). El curso de la carne es comparable como dije a un Korean Barbecue mediocre que hubiera costado $20 dolares por persona. Si eres como yo que disfruta el queso, TE VAS A QUEDAR INSATISFECHO DESEANDO MAS ! . No creo que volvamos a ir. read more

I am highly disappointed. My two friends and googled this place in hopes of trying something new. We got there and stood in the lobby area for at LEAST 5-7 minutes without so much as a greeting. No one was attending the front. When the bartender came back he was pouring drinks, my friend spoke and he clearly looked her in the face and didn't say a word. He continues to pour the drinks and left. At that moment we became infuriated and walked out. We'd made reservations and all for 9PM which is relatively LATE to have to switch restaurants so last minutes. I will NOT be visiting this location ever again. The service is assumed to be horrible. Several waiters passed by as we stood looking lost in the lobby. Do better Melting Pot ! read more

This was a complete waste of time and energy. They said we both had to purchase the $79 entree and recently we went to the melting pot in Atlanta which we only had to buy one entree and share and we both had an amazing experience and it was more than enough. We scheduled the one in Duluth expecting the same experience. But due to Valentine's Day they had a different set of rules forcing you to buy 2 $79 entrees which is 4x the price we paid at the Atlanta location. When speaking to their manager she said "if you want to dine with us, you have to buy 2 entrees " which is basically forcing you to buy an entree when you don't want to. We were considering to stay and just pay the extra money but I wouldn't give that manager a dime of my money because of her poor attitude. Read this carefully, As a manager, your job is to provide for customers and not bully them into paying more. We get that you have a job to do but in this case you failed at that because we left regretting ever thinking about coming there. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit for any special occasion because they will ruin it. Save your time and money- this manger should be dealt with by their corporate. read more

Worse Experience Ever! Glad you guys were open on 12/25, but unfortunately I never got to enjoy! We called the Deluth location excitable around 5:30pm. (We asked what time are you guys open, until? We received a prompt response from Jennifer- Until 9pm. I closed by saying, oh perfect- See you soon!) We arrived at the restaurant about 6pm and we were told- I'm so sorry we are fully committed tonight! I explained I just spoke with someone and they didn't inform me. She went to get Jennifer (to my surprise she was the manager). She displayed such a horrible attitude- explaining the restaurant was reservation only and I should have asked when I called! To have a Manager tell me this I was shocked. She didn't take any steps to resolve the matter; a sincere apology for the misunderstanding, take a brief moment to get our contact information in case of a cancellation. Any of these options would have been well received. But, all I got was an arrogant, argumentative attitude on why she did nothing wrong and I should have asked. She then added we are fully committed for the entire night!! I left and felt very intrigued by her lack of mannerisms. I went on to Open Table and was able to book reservations for 2 at both 7:30pm and 8:00pm. I'm extremely disappointed with my experience. read more

We love the melting pot and are so glad they are open for dining again! The food is always amazing and the customer service is impeccable! I highly recommend the tipsy turtle cocktail and the ting yang for desert. My favorite is the spinach artichoke cheese fondue. You can't go wrong with the melting pot! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! I took my parents for the first time, they LOVED it! read more

It doesn't look like much when you walk in, but as you are seated your imagination stats, but not much later your imagination comes to life. We ordered the s'more, it came with fruit, cookie, brownie, cake and more. It was great but the waffle was stale and they could have put more fruit on the plates. Me and my family say that the strawberries were the best part, also the chocolate was delicious. read more

My three kids and me have been robbed $60 bucks tonight. This was our second time there, but we order exactly same food, but this time we have to pay for 3, extra $60 , but last time we ordered exactly same food which for two. I asked waitress why the difference, she said we said for three, but we showed her the menu that's for 2, and said we got extra food for one, but what we got was everything for two, I didn't know where the extra food were. Never come back, would not recommend family with kids!!! read more

After having a horrible dinner experience elsewhere we decided to stop for dessert and drinks at the melting pot. We had the absolute best experience here, from service to food, to drinks. We were celebrating a special day and got complimentary moscato with strawberries to start. The love martini was also amazing. We then had 2 great courses of fondue with amazing service. The Wisconsin cheddar was very good, but the s'mores was AMAZING! The dippers they provide are so good, we didn't get any of the extra add ons and it was more then enough. The brownie was super delicious in particular. Highly recommend. You can tell the managers really care about running a nice restaurant here. We will be back read more

The ambiance was amazing. Our waitress Hunter, hands down the best. She recommended some great starter choices since I was newbie. Her customer service is simply amazing. I only want to be seated with Hunter from now on. She's very knowledgeable and she was very attentive to our needs. Jennifer the manager has an awesome staff at this location. The cook Jesse came out to make sure our food was good. I will definitely be returning. Everything was so fresh and the presentation was the best. read more

The Melting Pot - Salmon, Steak, Chicken, and Duck - Fondue Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Ever since my fiancé and I started dating 6 years ago, we always talked about how we wanted to try out the Melting Pot. For my 25th birthday, he surprised me by saying he was going to take me somewhere that I had been wanting to go to for a while. I was like "have you seen how many Yelp bookmarks I have? That's not a good clue". Lol So when we pulled up to the Melting Pot I was excited! Like first date with the man of my dreams excited! The Melting Pot is located in the same plaza as Sweet Baby Rays Buffet and Laser Quest, among an endless list of other restaurants and businesses. The parking is plentiful, but still usually packed on the weekends. When we walked in we were kindly greeted as the hostess took our names down on the list. The wait was 45 minutes, which is to be expected on a Friday night around 8 pm. After exploring the businesses around the area to kill time for 30 minutes, we returned to the Melting Pot and waited 20 minutes before we were seated. The waiting area/ lobby is perfect for people watching! Once we were seated we were the waitress brought us our drink orders and menus. The menu is a little bit confusing and overwhelming. There are a lot of predesigned 4 course options to pick from, but we decided to build our own so that we could try a few different cuts of meat. The build your own option allows you to pick 3 cuts/ types of meat such as steak, chicken, sausage, and seafood. You can order just the three build-your-own entrees for $21 or you can make it a 4 course meal for $38.95 per person. After looking through the menu, we decided that the build your own 4 course was the best options financially as well as gave us a chance to pick and choose the different types of meat we wanted. Along with the three meats, you get to pick a cheese fondue with apples, bread, and veggies for dipping for the first course. We ended up getting the cheddar fondue with a beer base since it was one of the most popular choices among customers. It was just okay to me. I really enjoyed the fresh taste of garlic that came through. It was good, just not something that I would necessarily rave about. The second course is a choice from 4 different salads. We each chose the Caesar salad and it was one of the best we have ever had. It had freshly grated cheese with just the right amount of Cesar dressing topped with honey glazed peanuts. It sounds kind of weird, but the combination of sweet and salty balanced each other out. The third course was the entrees. You get to pick from a broth/ soup base to boil your veggies and meat in. It also comes with 5 sauce choices that compliment each type of meat and vegetable. The sauces ranged from a cream cheese, chives, and sour cream base to teriyaki to curry based. Definitely a diverse range of flavors! My fiancé chose 3 steak options for his entrees. His favorite was the wine and garlic infused steak. It seemed to be the most flavor packed. I chose filet mignon, shrimp, and sausage. I'll be honest, I wasn't really impressed by the meat overall. There was little to no flavor to any of them. The tasteless soup broth didn't add much flavor either. I honestly enjoyed the boiled veggies and dipping sauces better. The portions of each course seem small but fill you up quickly. The final course was dessert! Yasssss girl! We decided to go with the flaming turtle option. It was milk chocolate fondue infused with Carmel. They also throw some liquor and pecans over the top of it and set fire to it in front of you on the table. Y'all, this chocolate sauce was on point. You best believe my fiancé and I devoured all of the fruit and sweets. We got some more fruit for dipping because there was still a ton of chocolate left. Let's just say they were less then generous when it came to giving us more fruit to dip. After we couldn't eat another bite of the chocolate fondue, we got the check. What really left a bad taste in my mouth was that the waitress came right over and asked us if she could have the check after we signed the tip. She made sure to open the ticket and check that we tipped. I thought it was really rude. I didn't see her do that with any other customers. It sucks because when my fiancé and I go to nicer restaurants we are treated less because we are younger. We felt like she checked the tip to make sure that we could afford to tip. It's service like this that makes us not want to come back. We may be young but we are good with our money and would not go to a nicer restaurant if we couldn't afford to tip fairly. We know that waiters and waitress work their asses off so of course we are going to compensate them for their hard work. Overall, the experience was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed ourselves. I would say that the food was just okay; it was definitely not "knock your socks off" good like I was expecting. The service was mediocre and ended on a bad note. The bulk of what you pay for is the experience not the quality of the food. read more

Enjoyed a Sunday funday of fondue at the Melting pot. Our salad selections included the house salad and California salad. The cheese fondue selection was Wisconsin cheddar. Our entree selection included shrimp, salmon, chicken breast, ginger teriyaki tofu and the vegetable polpettes. We chose the seasoned court bouillon for our entree simmering broth. The simmering broth was well seasoned. Our dessert selection was the Yen and Yang chocolate with a variety sweet dipping treats. Tobias our server, was very attentive and well versed on the menu options. Enjoying fondue on a beautiful Sunday afternoon was a treat. read more

Me and my girlfriend were spending our second Valentine's Day together so we made reservations at the Duluth location because this was the only location that had tables open and now we know why... the management is terrible. We drove 2 hours there to be disrespected by their manager on our special holiday. We were expecting to buy 1, 5 course meal to share between the both of us but on Valentine's Day sharing isn't allowed and the manager proudly told us we didn't have to eat there if we weren't going to pay for 2, 5 course meals which would have been around $158. We thought about just staying and paying more but when we realized the manager couldn't care less about us and we could get better service at McDonald's we proudly left although my girlfriend was upset because we were planning to go for a long time. Please don't take anyone special to this location, you will be disappointed. read more

I am sooooooo full right now. I was kinda skeptical about the whole cooking my own food sorta thing but I definitely love it. The many sauces/batter/cheeses can get confusing but eventually I got the hang of it. I ordered the signature dish and my mom got the french one. The french had a variety of spicy meats (shrimp, chicken, beef, sausage) and the signature was really simple when it came to the seasoning. I didn't really feel like forking out an extra $6 to choose one of the flavored broths, so I ordered one oil and the vegetable broth (no extra charge). It was flavorful as it was. I dipped most of the veggies in the batter and made a lot of tempura style veggies. The veggies come with the entree and you can order as much as you want....free of charge. Had no room for dessert. BUT I did order the ying yang martini...it is so prettttty! But next time I'll definitely order one cheese, one entree, and one dessert rather than 2 entrees and a drink. Service? EXCELLENT. I am such a happy camper right now. read more

A gf of mine took me here last week for my birthday. They had sent me a coupon to my email for free chocolate covered strawberries as a birthday gift. I forgot my coupon at home but they still made me some chocolate covered strawberries,(6 to be exact) since it was my birthday! Excellent customer service! I'm still not a fan of the entrees but their cheese and chocolate fondues are delicious! read more

Another Gwinette Restaurant Week visit- but more of a DIY night than a typical night out.A colleague of mine argued beforehand, "Why pay so much for a meal that you end up cooking yourself? It's silly." But I loved having control over the "done-ness" and amount of what I was putting on my plate. Course One- Spinach and artichoke cheese fondue (bread, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and green apples for dipping)- this was delicious! A wonderful twist on the cheese fondue- best with the bread and apples! Course Two- Their house beef broth (shrimp, beef and chicken for dipping)- meh, it was okay... next time, I'll pay extra for the hot oil or their flavored broths. Course Three- Turtle Chocolate fondue (cake, marshmallows, rice krispies and fruit for dipping)- If the bowl hadn't been so hot, I would have shamelessly licked the darn thing. Such a good chocolate fondue concoction! However, trying to decide which of their 8-10 different dessert fondue options to pick was torture... HOW can you choose just one?? Overall, a very fun, drawn-out dining experience! Also, gotta give a rock-star shout out to our server (or at least... I would, but I don't remember her name)- she was fantastic! She was funny, attentive to our needs, and clearly knew what she was doing with the fondue! read more

I have never been disappointed with the Melting Pot. Good food, great service, and fun. I have posted a picture of the spread from a recent birthday dinner that says more than any words I could write. Be forewarned that it is expensive. We had dinner for four with wine and it was $300. But once in a while for a special occasion, this would be my choice. read more

I don't go to TMP that often (too many other restaurants out there!). This is the type of place to unwind and chill out after a long day. All of the ATL area MP offers great daily deals for certain hours. This time, I chose unlimited chocolate fondue because well I had a sweet tooth. For $12 per person for the last 2 hours of the day, you can choose any of the 6 chocolate fondues. After 2, I was done. Very fulfilling and full of flavor. Fondue comes with various fruits and cake bites. Definitely come here on an empty stomach. Manager and waitress were friendly. read more

We went for an early dinner and ordered their 4-course dinner. We had caesar salad, the fiesta cheese fondue, Mojo with teriyaki marinated sirloin, garlic pepper sirloin, cajun filet mignon, and finished our meal with chocolates. The cheese fondue and the all the meat with mojo (caribbean flavored cooking liquid) were excellent. The salad was very fresh. We really had a great dinner. read more

I went to The Melting Pot Saturday evening on a date and it was both our first times. Upon entering we were greeted immediately and seated quickly. Our waiter's name escapes me at the moment but he was knowledgeable and very helpful explaining the menu and what flavors went well with what. My date and I settled on the 4-course meal which included: 1) Spinach Artichoke Cheese Fondue (amazing) 2) Caesar salads, 3) The French Quarter and the Land & Sea all cooked in the Mojo, Caribbean-inspired broth, and 4) the Cookies 'n Cream Marshmallow Dream For the entree portion our waiter told us that the meats and veggies had different cook times but we simply dumped everything into the pot, let it all go for a few minutes, then fished everything out as we went along. Just seemed a bit tedious to do it all a few pieces at a time. Also keep in mind that the potions aren't huge but after 4-courses, you're certainly left satisfied. We both concluded that although it was fun, we'd much rather someone cook our dinner for us and we'd probably only return for the dessert portion. The ambiance was nice, so take a date if you haven't been and go for the experience if nothing else, but you probably won't be rushing back. read more

Last night was the 2nd time I came to this location and I also had a large party with me. The food was not bad but the service was terrible. I'm not sure if they hired brand new servers or not but our server did not do a very good job. He kept messing up our orders even though he would repeat the orders to us several times and spill water all over our plate when he refills our glass. Our table ordered the Souverain wine (white), which he had repeated out to me 3x then they bring us a bottle of Justin (red)... It came already opened and they poured the wine for us without verifying if it was the correct bottle nor letting us sample it. Upon telling our sever that it was an incorrect bottle, he tried to tell me that it was the name I gave him... which of course everyone at the table had to correct him that no we did not. They do not have a legitimate bartender, it seems as if they have any staff member make the drinks. We ordered 3 Tipsy Turtles (their recommendation for a strong cocktail) and all you taste is grenadine. As a bartender, I also find it odd that they would make a Gin & Tonic (a 3oz drink) in a 16oz glass... Plus they made it and left it at the bar for the server to bring to us which took awhile so by the time it got to us, it tasted like watered down tonic. I had to remind the server about the drinks prior to him bringing it, which he told me they JUST made it and it did not water down yet. Man... we sat at the first table you get right when we walk in, do you not realize that we have a clear view of the bar? Probably worst of all is the way they carry the glasses, with their fingers inside and around rim of the glass which I believe is a health hazard according to the health department... read more

Always wanted to try this place but never got the nerve to. I don't know why, I'm a pro with Chinese hot pot but I think I just wasn't sure how to do fondues. I got a $100 gift card and decided to bring my family here. Four of us came in and immediately, I smelled the garlic aroma in the air. Yum! We were greeted by the host as well as the manager. I saw on the door that a reservation is recommended so I ask the manager if we can be seated without reservation. He was extremely polite and showed us to our table. Our server, Steven,immediately greeted us and knew that we were first time here so he explained how everything works. We ordered the 4 course menu. Cheese-Appetizer 5 Stars Spinach Artichoke was recommended and a great recommendation it was. He brought out the ingredients and mixed the cheese fondue in front of us. It was kind entertaining. Cheese fondue came with bread (wheat and white), veggies (celery, carrot, and something else), tortilla chips, and green apples. Omg! Cheese was so delicious! The garlic flavor really kicked in. I could string the cheese really high. Salads- 5 Stars We wanted to try variety so we ordered the house salad (lettuce, cheese, eggs, croutons, and onions topped with sweet tangy dressing that reminds me of honey mustard) *recommend California Salad (candied pecans, goat cheese I think, and greens topped also with sweet tangy dressing) *recommend Wedge salad ( a half wedge lettuce top with ranch) Classic Fondues- Entree 5 Stars Steven recommended the vegetable broth (forgot the fancy name for it). I love the broth! It's not heavy and very flavorful. Classic comes with variety of meats like sirloin, pork, chicken, shrimps, and veggies like mushrooms, potatoes, and broccoli. Portion seemed small at first but by the end, I was very full. Best part is that all the meats were so tendered and flavorful! All fondues comes with 5 different sauces. Yin Yan- Dessert 5 Stars Also recommended by Steven. Yin Yan is white and milk chocolate fondue with variety of fruits. Overall, Melting Pot had earned a spot on my top of list. Service was excellent and food is delicious! What more can I ask for! It is great places even to come eat dessert. Next time, I'll be back for cheese fondue with wine or chocolate fondue with wine. Yum! read more

We are never disappointed by the melting pot but this was my first visit going since having to go gluten and dairy free. I cannot sing enough praises by how above and beyond this experience was. Not only do you have a vegan and gluten free menu(which includes cheese, chocolate, bread, brownies, and cake), but our waitress even checked the ingredients in every sauce and brought me double of the one that I could have. She went out of her way to make sure everything was safe for me and I regret not getting her name. I am extremely happy I can continue going to my favorite spot without feeling like I'm missing out. The one critique I have is that I miss the curry sauce which could easily be made vegan with coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt but I'll just have to figure out how to make it at home! read more

I love fondue. This was a great place to celebrate my birthday and a date with my wife. I would have felt under dressed if I didn't dress up. The food is good and the broth tasty but they did go heavy on the wine. Often overpowering my flavor. A must have are the deserts. I would go back and try to get to the restaurant earlier for the al you can eat. If you like fondue I would give it a try. read more

As great as I remember! From its opening this was my wife and my date night spot. That was long ago. It's been fifteen years since I've been here. I decided for my daughters 21st birthday I would try it out. I was so pleased with the decision. The food was wonderful and fun, the service was great. We chose the 'Bigger Night Out" and have everything we wanted. We too home a sizable amount of leftovers. I'm sorry The Melting Pot fell off our radar. Do not jungle it by its location in a struggling retail center, it's a great spot her in Duluth for a wonderful meal and experience! read more

Hugely disappointing. We (group of 4) had a 35 minute wait with reservations we made weeks in advance. The dining experience then took over 2 hours, felt like we were continuously waiting on slow service and inefficiency in the kitchen. After all of that the food was mediocre, making us regret not visiting any of the handful of hotpot places within a stones throw of this places front door. Shocking for broth based cooking to be bad in that area. Will never go back, such a waste of money. read more

After my original review in December, Layla contacted me, and we ended up getting a free meal at the Roswell Melting Pot last night. We had a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend the Melting Pot in Roswell to anyone looking for a nice dinner for a special occasion. The staff at the Roswell MP were wonderful. There was a friendly hostess waiting for us when we arrived. We were seated almost immediately. And our server Ariel was wonderful! The general manager of the Roswell Melting Pot, Martin, also checked on us a few times. He was very professional and friendly as well. I am very thankful to Layla and the staff of the Atlanta Melting Pot company for addressing the issues we faced that are mentioned in my first review. read more

We had a reservation at 7 for my birthday. We arrived at 6:55. It took 10 minutes before we were even greeted, only to be asked if we had been checked in. When we replied that we hadn't, he told us that someone would check us in shortly. In the meantime, the bartender had been there at the front chatting with a patron at the bar. She didn't acknowledge us at all. It took another 5 minutes before she finally checked us in, only then to tell us that it would be another 5 minutes before we would be seated because they didn't have anyone to seat us. Finally after 5 minutes she ended up taking us to our table and taking our orders. Why she couldn't have done that 5 minutes earlier is beyond my mortal comprehension. We finally were seated at 7:20 - 20 minutes after our reservation - 25 minutes after arriving. This is unacceptable customer service for a restaurant of this caliber and price range. Furthermore, half the tables were empty. I can certainly understand restaurants being short staffed for one reason or another. I'd much rather be greeted promptly and be told that they're short staffed and running behind schedule. Additionally, I'd much rather be seated at a table, have a drink order taken and be given a chance to look over the menu and then have to wait to order food (again having been given an explanation why) rather than waiting in the front lobby for 25 minutes when there are visibly empty tables. Nevertheless, our waitress was amazing and the food is ALWAYS divinely delicious. I'd rate the service when we arrived as a 0. Our actual waitress I'd give a 5 for service - the food as well. So averaged out, overall a 3. read more

Horrible manager. Bad attitude was not compassionate when I explained the situation. Husband felt ill maybe due to the over seasoned food. So we had to leave. Rude manager! Paid too much for a terrible experience. Beware. Upon arriving home we found everything we had on And our backpacks smelled of the concoction that was brewing in the pot. The smell is so strong our clothes are now being washed emptied my backpack to wash next. We had ordered the vegetable broth which I was unable to eat due to the tons of pepper. Our server left it boiling on high while we waited a good 15 min or more before she brought the main dish to cook in the pot. I think that is why our clothes smelled so garlicky, all the boiling. This was our first experience at the melting pot and it will be the last at the Duluth location. Not sure if we will ever go back to any location after that experience. As I write this my stomach is churning hopefully it won't be running threw me like it did my poor husband. read more
