MELT Gourmet Cheeseburgers must be operated by culinary lunatics. I mean that as the highest…read morepossible compliment. A normal person looks at a hamburger and asks, "Would you like cheese on that?" The people at MELT apparently look at one and ask, "How can we make this so extraordinary that customers begin questioning whether everything they previously called a burger was actually just meat occupying bread?" I ordered the Paris Burger: Premium beef char-grilled with roasted garlic, then topped with melted French Brie, balsamic-glazed onions, baby spinach, and a smear of Dijon mustard on a house-made bun. This ingredient list sounds less like a hamburger and more like several upscale appetizers became trapped in an elevator and decided to form a government. I do not know what kind of inspired nut job first assembled this combination, but everything contributes to everything else. The Brie, roasted garlic, sweet richness of the balsamic-glazed onions, spinach, and Dijon do not compete for attention; they cooperate with suspicious precision. The flavor is exquisite. This should not be placed in the same category as ordinary burgers unless the category is titled "Round Foods That Technically Contain Beef." And then there is the bun. Most hamburger buns eventually choose one of two career paths: Damp sponge or roofing material. This one rejected both. It was cooked to that nearly mythical point between soft and soggy, firm and crunchy. It supported the burger without collapsing, disintegrating, or scraping the roof of my mouth like an edible Brillo pad. Perfection. For a side, I ordered the sweet potato fries. They were already very good, which apparently was considered insufficient by the resident mad scientists. Someone had the completely unreasonable idea of serving them with marshmallow fluff. Marshmallow fluff. With sweet potato fries. This sounds like a suggestion made at 2:00 a.m. by someone who should have been politely escorted away from the kitchen. Instead, that person may be a genius. The combination is incredible. The salty sweet potato fries dipped in marshmallow fluff produced one of those moments when your brain objects on principle while your hand quietly reaches for another fry. This proves that not every insane idea is crazy; some merely require dipping sauce. I also had the Thin Mint shake, which was excellent except for the only legitimate complaint I could manufacture during the entire meal: It came with an ordinary straw. Every attempt to drink it became a small plumbing emergency when a piece of Thin Mint lodged in the opening. Sip, blockage, investigate, clear obstruction, repeat. I was not drinking a milkshake so much as performing routine maintenance on a delicious cookie pipeline. A proper milkshake straw would eliminate the one defect in an otherwise outstanding operation. This was not merely a good meal from a burger joint. It was a culinary experience disguised as casual food. The Paris Burger was phenomenal, the fries and marshmallow fluff were an act of benevolent madness, and even my complaint involves the shake containing too many actual pieces of Thin Mint to pass through standard beverage infrastructure. MELT is almost worth traveling to Virginia for by itself. If the people running this place are insane, nobody intervene. Whatever treatment would make them normal might ruin the menu.

And every single time, they don't make the order and say that they "sold out" of everything. Additionally, the verbiage used in the app implies that they are making the order as soon as it is sent. Why do they have all my contact info just to not notify me of this? We are a large household, our orders are not small. However, if I order on DoorDash, there is never an issue like this. It is absolutely ridiculous. This location clearly cannot figure it out and the quality is consistently depreciating. Taco Bell will no longer be receiving our business.

I tried ordering the 16-piece Signature Chicken Family Meal, which explicitly states it includes three large sides and eight biscuits, as you can see in my screenshot. Because the app was glitching and wouldn't let me edit the sides, I called the store and spent over 15 minutes explaining the issue to Mia, who assured me they would include the sides and biscuits with the chicken. When the order arrived, it was just the chicken, so I called back to get the rest of my meal. Instead of helping, they didn't give me any explanation, refused to even check my order in their system, and falsely claimed I only paid for chicken. When I asked for the manager, I could hear Miguel (the manager) in the background speaking in Spanish with a horrible attitude, stating he wasn't going to take my call. I had to do so much unnecessary talking and arguing that my jaw actually started hurting, and they still offered absolutely no solutions. Thank you for the apology, but an apology doesn't address the issue of what I paid for. I am demanding a refund for my order. The customer service I received was horrible, especially from the manager on duty.

Yelpers: Went thru the drive thru to grab a late lunch today. Though the staff was pleasant and made a fuss in the kitchen that they were making the sandwich custom to the requested order, they did as they pleased. They ignored the request, put items not only not desired on the hamburger but that caused the sodium content to peak for a person that specifically ordered no salt on the burger. They added 3 pickles (hello soaked in brine - salt), there were 2 slices of cheese (flavored fatty salt) & the no salt French fries were heavily salted (like a salt lick for animals). Salt is a migraine trigger for me and when I got home is when I realized I had an inedible meal. What's worse is they didn't provide the receipt so I had no proof I even had purchased food from them to go back to complain. I was very upset. Wendy's Mgmt: People order not necessarily because they want hot fries but for significant health reasons, Wendy's! How about taking customer requests seriously? Provide a receipt so we can call HQ to discuss quality & have an order # from the transaction. Has this location had so many complaints is the policy to pitch the receipts rather than provide to your customers? I have to wonder. read more

I have been eating Wendy's for 25 years and I have to say this is the worse Wendy's ever. I have lived in Leesburg 2.5 years and Wendy's fails everytime. I have stopped going to the Leesburg one and travel to Ashburn/Sterling. I love the Spicey Chicken and fries, when the are done right. Not only does Leesburg Wendy's not do food right, they don't have the staff to man the place. I have waiting in the drive for 15 minutes without a car moving. I have went on a friday night inside and the line did not move for 20 minutes. I have never seen a manager there and the employees don't speak very well. They need to fire everyone and take a wrecking ball to it. Any one who pretents otherwise does not live in reality. I just wish I could put no stars! read more

It's not that bad of a restaurant. It's clean and the food is good. I just love their deals as well. You get a good amount of food for a good price. It's a good place to go if you don't want to spend a lot of money. The employees are nice as well. I feel welcomed there and you don't have to wait long on getting your food to. read more

The grilled chicken is pretty good too, especially for those that want extra protein! The restaurant is clean and the AC is strong, making it a great place to enjoy your meal during a hot summer day. Now onto the down side.... My friend ordered a cheeseburger but there was no cheese. I brought this up to the cashiers and they said they will take a look at it. After a long while (maybe 10 mins) they still did not come. I went back up and they told me the same thing, but instead added, sometimes the cheese can be inside or hidden (I guaranteed him that it is not hidden...) by then the burger was cold. Finally somebody came and brought us two slices of cheese to add into the burger. That was quite disappointing considering how long that took to just bring two cold slices of cheese to eat with the now cold burger.
