We ordered off of their lunch menu and got the short rib sandwich with brussels and their cobb salad. While I personally can use a bigger portion, I was not starving at the end of the meal lol. I guess it is good policy to leave people wanting more, right? Food was tasty overall and they definitely have some unique items or ingredients in their entrees. You will run probably at least around 30 dollars for two at lunch. We obviously caught them at a busy time even though we were the only two there at the beginning as they were expecting a large party and they were prepping catering food, but our food still came out within a reasonable amount of time. I did notice one of the chef on his phone one minute and then touching cooked food that he's serving the next to package it for catering....without washing his hands. I can't help but find that a bit gross when I consider how very dirty a phone is since that's literally something you touch all day, all the time, regardless of what you're doing. I will leave it at that, ha.

I have wanted to try this place for a while. When I went to get blood work at UAB Hoover, I went…read moredirectly to the Ono Poke. I ordered online through DoorDash for pickup. This place is beautiful. It is located in the Stadium Trace shopping center between Alabama Goods and Grimaldi's. When you walk in, it gives a tropical vibe with the decor. You feel the relaxation wash over you. I went to the cashier and she asked for my name. My food was ready right on time, and I grabbed my bottle of Sprite from the front cooler before I headed back to work. I got back to the office and dug into the bowl. The flavor was bright and fresh. The creaminess of the avocado and that extra "crunch" texture helped to tie the flavors tighter together. Everything tasted really good. I will be back to this place soon to try some other bowl combinations. Keep being delicious, Ono Poke!!

Just to be sure and keep that receipt. We had no problem with the dishes that we received being cooked. They were great but what we found digging into the CHEESE FRIES was more worrisome. The part that has cheese on it is amazing but way too much pepper not sure what the red sauce is. And no, it's not Buffalo. ( chunks of what I assumed were Cajun seasoning wet. At this point, praying y'all just have the world's worst Cajun cheese fries. I'm not sure. Definitely not a plate that I am going to finish.. and I hate to do this to a hometown restaurant if you can't handle plain cheese fries, you can't handle my business. how do you over Salt cheese fries?

YOU NEED TO EAT HERE. I cruise yelp reviews to see if I…read moreshould eat somewhere or not. This is a place you should select YES PLEASE. Let's address the elephant in the room: this place is healthy.... Which usually yields some preconceived notions about how the food will taste. Honey, you need to leave those at the door cause the food is legit. If you did a blind taste test of the food, guessing the macros, you'd never get it right- It's GOOD. Well seasoned, fresh, no kind of stale old health food flavor. They make their own sauces apparently. And these aren't the half hearted attempts like that one time you did Whole30 and tried to make homemade ketchup. These are professional grade. You're gonna be looking for some extra packets to stash in your purse like your MawMaw used to do. Prices are very reasonable, portion size is great, there's outdoor seating. You're able to customize your order easily (add more protein, make it low carb, etc). There's also meals in their freezers you can take home. And they have regular weekly meal plans where you order your food ahead of time, collect your order, refrigerate, and heat it up in the microwave through the week. On this eat-in occasion, I got the turkey burger with sweet potato fries and my friend got the chicken pesto wrap with pasta. It was hot, the service was excellent, and we didn't feel miserable when we left. We will be back here for sure!

I've never had anything I didn't like there, and I'm not afraid to experiment because you absolutely cannot beat all-you-can eat sushi for $30. My favorite things on the menu are the dragon ball and the yellowtail jalapeno. The coconut shrimp are unique and also delicious. My youngest isn't much of a sushi eater yet, but even he has plenty of options-- he usually goes for hibachi-- the hibachi meat is solid; the rice and noodles, not so much. Their clear soup is the best I've had in the city-- very flavorful and quite a large bowl. The ambiance is nice, but the place is small, so it can get crowded. Service is always great, even when it's crazy busy in there.

Unfortunately, our table was very unsteady and wobbled every time we rested an arm or hand on it. We probably should have asked to move, but we did let the staff know before leaving. Thomas was our server. He was very pleasant, though he seemed fairly new. I asked twice for lemon for my water but never received it. He did check on us after our meals arrived to make sure everything tasted good. The food was fresh and delicious! I ordered the Fire Crunch Roll and the Alaska Roll. Both were good, but the Fire Crunch was definitely my favorite. My son ordered the salmon hibachi and received a very generous portion. After we finished eating and requested a small takeout container, we sat talking for several more minutes. When Thomas didn't return with our check, we eventually walked to the counter to pay. He then said he could take care of it at the table, but we were already standing there and ready to leave. It made the ending feel a little awkward, and in the confusion, I accidentally left my container of sushi on the bar. Such a bummer! Overall, we had a good meal, and the food was definitely the highlight. With a little more attention to the service details and that wobbly table, the experience could have been even better.

I was looking forward to trying this sandwich , since I didn't get to try it during the Birmingham Restaurant Week preview party. I really enjoyed the beer battered fries as well. Others in my party had chicken finger plate, Cuban melt, chicken Parmesan melt and chicken salad melt. Everyone enjoyed their selections and had leftovers! I chatted with I'm assuming the manager and he was very nice. We enjoyed our recent experience here at Melt. The service , food and environment all made me want to come back soon.

Ordering was easy and the people up front were super nice. Did I mention the food came out quick? It was just as delicious as it was quick. I went with an order of the Asian zing wings. They were sauced up the way I like it and the chicken itself was crispy and juicy. The sauce itself was unique and bold. I had a spoon to eat the leftover sauce on my to-go container. A coworker of mine had the Philly. While I didn't try it I can verify that based off their reaction that it was incredible. There's not many tables to eat here, as this seems more of the place to grab a lunch to go. I see more visits in my future!
