    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.

    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

Grabbed some lunch for my team: Chicken bacon ranch no lettuce or tomato, a large Lebanese salad (no pita), Turkey Reuben sandwich, Chicken melt, Bronx and a can of Mountain Dew and one can of Coke. Oh my. Their Chicken melt menu that someone posted on here changed from what someone else had posted a while back. Their current chicken melt is essentially a chicken Philly. It wasn't what my team member wanted, had to give it to someone else, since it had mushrooms in it. The Lebanese salad was good, the large is a good size. Loaded with tomatoes and cukes. Ended up with bits of pita at the bottom of my salad, had to pick them out. :/ The chicken bacon ranch was nicely packed with meat in a sub bun. The Bronx was good as well. The turkey Rueben was okay. Light on the kraut and sauce. The turkey meat was deli slices though. The bread was maybe separately toasted. It was pan or cook top cooked. The rye was a bit too hard as I tried to get a bite in. I ended up having to gut it and eat the inside goods separately. Oven roasted turkey would have been fantastic, more kraut or add slaw too. Salad was good and fresh. The sandwiches look picture worthy.

He hooked me up with a sample of the red pepper relish, showed me what kind they use, and even told me where to buy it in bulk! He also shared some of their in-house Cajun seasoning, which was pretty tasty. Before I left, he gave me a heads up to be sure to hit Dearborn Sweets next door, and even some top selections to try (FWIW....he was right). I can't wait to come back and try some of their other subs! Shoutout and thanks to Mike for making it a great first visit!

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.
