    Pastrami Melt
    Kai C.

    I got it through door dash and wasn't disappointed. The pastrami melt on sourdough... muwah!! I was disappointed they didn't have the pickles on it but I looove pickled onions. Every bite of this sandwich hit! The regular fries were good too. Would have been even better hot, but I still give it 5 stars. I'll be back.

    Cam back for the Terry melt and it was as just as amazing as I thought it would be. Juicy steak and cheese on toasty sourdough..mmmm. It came with a sauce and even though I did not care for it much l..I still ate it with my sandwich. It tasted almost like Italian dressing and marinara mixed together. I would have preferred Italian or an Italian/ranch mix but it still was an amazing sandwich !

    The BLT
    Sunil A.

    I wasn't sure what to expect walking in. Looking at the building from the outside it seems like a much larger sit down restaurant, and while there are a few tables it is much smaller on the inside than expected and also shares space with a bubble tea shop. That's really neither here nor there cause the sandwiches here are so good I'm pretty sure I would come here to eat if it was in the middle of a sanitation field. It's all pretty basic, you walk up to the counter and pick from a bevy of sandwich styles. I have been on a massive BLT kick as of late in all aspects of eating whether it is pizza or.... um... or... hmmm well I guess as pizza or sandwiches and I ordered the BLT melt. A+ fantastic wonderful!!!! -- look at those exclamation points As a bonus I got to meet Terry himself, and when you look at his pics from his days as a young man in the business, you do kind of wish he still had that big hair LOL. Just kidding. He was a very nice guy and told me I have to come back and try the steak melt. Which is very high on my list as I plan on making this a regular stop. 1OO% recommend, you will not be disappointed.

    The Terry Melt / Z's Bubble Tea interior
    Amanda L.

    SO good! All restaurants should honestly double as bubble tea shops. Who knew that the sandwich melts from The Terry Melt would pair so well with the drinks at Z's Bubble Tea?! You can't go wrong with any of the melts you order here, they are delicious. Prices are so so good as well. I got the chicken melt and it literally melted my brain. It's definitely very carb heavy / oily, so I only ate half of my sandwich, then forgot my leftovers at my friend's house and was seriously sad about it when I realized because I was really looking forward to finishing that melt and now I've been craving it ever since! I will definitely be coming back soon because the melt was just THAT good! Portions are massive too, especially for the price, and even a regular order of fries was more than 2 people could handle! Love a generous business model! :D

    This restaurant is like a two parter, there's the Terry Melt and Z's bubble tea. You have to cash out with two different transactions if you want both. I did get both because obviously I needed to try both! From the Terry Melt I ordered the steak quesadilla. There was mushrooms, onions, green pepper, and Swiss cheese. But my picky butt for the onions and peppers off of it. I was expecting a thin quesadilla (honestly like Taco Bell) with cheese, steak, and mushrooms but I was so wrong. This quesadilla was like a cheese steak! It was greasy and thick and definitely different. There was a white sauce on the quesadilla, kind of similar to mayo, that I didn't like and they didn't mention under the description so I was not happy about that. I'm gonna come back and try the quesadilla again without the sauce and I think I'll like it a lot more, but for right now I'm indifferent about. Service was fast and everyone was friendly, but I wasn't happy with the sauce not being on the description.

    I was in the area and stopped by on a whim since I've had it on my list for quite awhile. I'm glad I made that decision. The steak melt is delicious. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, and the staff is friendly. I will definitely have another steak melt soon.

    Very prompt service, friendly staff. Smallish on the inside but clean dining room. Food was piping hot and fresh! Very tasty. Will return!

    Tuna melt
    Adrienne A.

    Bring a big appetite to The Terry Melt! I honestly didn't know anything about this place, but loved the restaurant that preceded it, so I was intrigued when I noticed the new signage. After checking the Yelp reviews, I knew what I wanted to order - a melt of course! Specifically, the turkey melt and my father ordered the tuna melt. I also upgraded my sandwich to a combo for $3.50 with Cajun-spiced curly fries as the side. This was either a mistake or genius depending on how you look at it because the portion sizes are HUGE! The sandwiches are huge and the fry portion looked like 3 supersized fries combined. If went back I definitely would split a sandwich with someone else and share a fry among 3-4 people. The sandwiches are a little pricey at $10 but given the size, they could be a value if you share it. They also had grilled shawarma pita sandwiches for $4.50, which has me intrigued. Now on to the taste test. The melt sandwiches were grilled to a perfect golden brown and the rye bread flavor balanced nicely with the ingredients. I was a little disappointed that the turkey was deli style and processed vs roasted and carved. The flavors were good but not intriguing or uniquely craveable. My father said his tuna melt was good and that's about the best compliment or description he ever provides. The curly fries were nice and crispy and flavorful but not particularly spicy for being Cajun-spiced. Service seemed very pleasant and efficient. I'll be back to try that grilled shawarma pita.

    Today is a beautiful day, so why not enjoy it with a delicious sandwich from Terry Melt? Terry Melt is known for their melts and sandwiches, and they have outdoor seating for nice weather like today. Plus, they have @zsbubbletea next door so you can also grab some boba and enjoy a delicious lunch while enjoying the weather. It's crazy how bubble tea and these melts go so well together.

    Fattoush Salads are delicious

    We enjoyed our night out, enjoying salads inside the heated globe at The Terry Melt. We were about to reserve a globe for 30 minutes. We also enjoyed mango bubble teas!

    The first time I came all I had was a shawarma. I didn't try any of the melts yet, but my wife and I decided we were craving a good grilled sandwich. We called ahead of time to place an order for pick up, and then realized that they had closed 10 minutes ago. Despite that, the person on the phone allowed us to place an order anyway, which wasn't something we pushed for so we thought that was very nice of them to do. We wouldn't have blamed them had they said no, but we ordered 1 chicken melt and one tuna melt. Truthfully, these sandwiches are spectacular. The bread works well to hold the contents of the sandwiches and always remained crunchy on the outside. Going above and beyond to satisfy customers like this is something rare in the restaurant business. You have earned this extra star, thank you

There's a small lot but you can park right there. It's right off of Michigan Ave so you really can't miss it but it is very small so you may not know what you're looking for. Just keep an eye out for it. They do have plenty of seats but it's not a full sit-down situation so I don't make it seem like you can bring a table of 20 in . They do have seats to sit in. There are countertops you can stand at but this is more likely a quick bite or to-go kind of situation. Even though there are people who do come in for the lunch break. But it's just basically tables and it's not a lot of frills or bells and whistles but it's still enough to have a bite to eat. The customer service is super nice and I was very taken care of and everybody was super friendly. As far as that goes that is something that has no issue . I ordered and it came pretty fast within 10 minutes so that was good. The service is quick but when I went it wasn't overly packed so that probably helped. Still it was good service and swift service as well . NY club - it was actually really good. It was very large and it got me right for lunch time for quite some time. It was put together very well and it didn't fall apart as soon as I picked it up. Turkey was warm and the sandwich was put together really well and the bacon made it pop . Cajun fries - the fries were crinkle cut and they came cajun seasoned to perfection . Would I go back? I sure would. Good customer service, solid product. Next time I go I'll probably end up getting a corned beef like I wanted to in the first place... There are plenty of options own and not just a sandwich shop... it may not be Coney Island type variety but it does have plenty of variety !

The food is thoughtful and complex, and unfortunately, that's just not for me. I can see why people enjoy it so much, though. Service was okay. Basically a teen at the register playing on her phone and a cook in the back. I wasn't really offered much of a greeting or an intro to the menu. It's a very limited menu as far as sandwiches are concerned (only six options.) I ordered The Superior minus kimchi with the spicy mayo on the side. I don't believe the menu mentions it, but the sandwich did come with a handful of fries. I took a seat in their cute dining area. It's decorated very nicely. It was a little chilly, though. I noticed a couple tables with trash on them that sat that way during my entire visit (all the while the cashier was on her phone.) Definitely room for improvement there. My sandwich was good; a little sweet for my liking. What I disliked was that there were tiny onions grilled with the steak, and those onions are not on the menu. I'd already wasted my lunch hour finding this spot, figuring out what to order and waiting for my food so I didn't bother saying anything or asking for a re-do. I just ate a few pieces of the steak and packed the rest up for my husband to have as leftovers. The quality of the steak was great and the fries were excellent. So, if you are all about limited menus and lots of ingredients, this might be the spot for you. It wasn't for me.

Hubband got the turkey and ham sandwich and said the ham was excellent but had the same gripe about the low quality turkey as me. Are they big, yes? Would I rather have less meat but it be much higher quality for the same price? Also yes. Decor hasn't changed in the almost 15 years since I visited. It's clean enough but still incredibly over-crowded with too many tables and chairs. Service was friendly. Honestly, this is just so underwhelming that I'm incredibly surprised that people are excited to drop $15 on a mediocre sandwich. I'm missing something (it must be nostalgia because I didn't grow up here.)
