The Melt

All I can say is DELICIOUS! We stopped in while on vacation,My husband had the Egg n a hole and he loved it! We also ordered the melty Mac and cheese which was equally good. We didn't get a chance to grab the name of the cashier but she was very sweet! And kind to helping us choose what to get. We also go to speak to manager, Bianca who helped get us our food. Very sweet team all around. Excited to come back and try something new next time! Also want to make a note that this was one of the cleaner Melts I had been to before.

We stopped here on Friday Night during prime UCSD Student dining hours, 8:30p. The place was packed, which is always a good sign. When you walk in, there are self service ordering kiosks on the left. Then, there is an option to walk up to the front counter to order. We chose to walk up and order. It was a great experience and the man who took our order was customer service oriented. We ordered: Shroom & Swiss Burger, Patty Melt, Garlic Parmesan Fries, a fountain soda to share (sugar regulating) and a "Peruvian Chocolate" brownie. Food was very tasty. Please know that this good food is greasy, so be prepared. They have hand spun shakes that are $7 but that seemed a bit pricey to me. I believe that they may be delicious, by the looks of the pictures. I do love the independent soft drink company that they use. There is a great size seating area for 49 people. They have bar height and table height seating. You will also find a large screen tv on the wall where the NBA Finals was broadcast. There are lots of student customers and they love the food and vibe here. Overall, we will be back. Great experience, great food, great setup/layout, and atmosphere.

I recently started going here again after drunkenly ordering it off of Ubereats. I forgot how good it was! I'm a sucker for bbq so the Bacon BBQ Burger has become my usual here. BTW it tastes amazing with a fried egg. I love that they have milkshakes and soft serve. I'm a big fan of the snickerdoodle milkshake, it tastes just like horchata. Service is fast and great! The girl at the front was manning the register, Dine In and Take Out. I didn't want too long for my food, it was prob 8 minutes. The restaurant is always surprisingly neat and tidy regardless of how busy or packed the store is. And I like the choice of a self serve kiosk and a regular register. Def going to be coming back!

My husband and I took a trip out to La Jolla for a vacation. Looking at restaurants open past 8:00 P.M on a Wednesday evening was a challenge, but we found The Melt opened near La Jolla Village. The Melt is located in a relatively large shopping plaza next to other businesses such as Sprinkles. There is ample amount of parking spots available.As soon as you enter, you'll notice off to the left, there are two self-service kiosks where you can place your order. If you decide not to use the kiosks, you can still order at the register. On the right side, there are open tables to sit at. It was extremely busy Thursday night around 8:00 P.M and most tables were already in-use. We decided to place the order at the register since we had to customize one of the orders, specifically the steak and cheese. It took us about 20 minutes to place our order at the register, as there were other customers ahead of us, and the team member whom was taking the order, was also handling all of the take-out, and pick-up order requests. When we reached the register, we had placed the following orders1 Original Cheeseburger1 Bacon, Chicken, Mac'N'Cheese1 Steak and Cheese Sandwich (No Jalapenos, No Onions, No Peppers)After we placed the order, a puck was provided for us. We found one open table available and it was extremely dirty. There was food left over on it from previous customers and dirty napkins underneath the table. We ended up cleaning up the table before eating on it.We didn't wait too long for the order though, less than 10 minutes.The Steak and Cheese was scrumptious! All of the cheese inside the sandwich was melted and oozing out! There was plenty of steak in the sandwich. The seasonings used were well balanced with the steak and cheese.The Original cheeseburger was okay. The burger patty wasn't seasoned, but the ingredients added to the burger helped enhance the flavor. The bun was decent, light and fluffy.The Mac N Cheese was decent. The bacon and chicken really helped to bring out the flavors for the dish, but if it was just the mac n cheese, there wasn't much flavor in the sauce.Price wasn't too expensive for all of the food and drinks, less than $40.00. It was great to try out the restaurant once, but I'm not sure if we'll be back.

This place is the BOMB!! Great menu with versatile choices! They always give service with a smile no matter how busy it gets, and it gets busy , busy every time I've been there. Todays cashier (Adrianna) was sparkling, she had a great attitude and serviced us with a beautiful smile. Food was fixed in a timely manner, which was a huge plus considering how busy they were. We will return most definitely!!!

Absolutely delicious!!! I remember eating the Melt back in New York, and I realize I always order a shake with grilled cheese.This time around, my girlfriend and I got the chicken sandwiches;I got the BBQ BACON CHICKEN & my gf got the SPICY MISSION CHICKEN sandwich. We added the BBQ BACON CHEDDAR RANCH FRIES to our meal as well. The bun was soft and warm, the meat was delicious, and the sauce was so flavorful!! The melted cheese for everything was the cherry on top and I believe it holds true to the name.We ate at the outdoor patio and enjoyed the food. The inside is nice too with high tables and several seating areas. The counter with staff is in the front while there were also kiosks to order near the entrance. Hopefully I can try more of the menu in the future! Located in a large parking plaza lot with free parking.

Pretty darn good! The very first time we tried the Melt, we ordered Togo. It's definitely better dining in rather than taking it to go, it makes all the difference! Our first visit we tried these items... - BBQ bacon melt burger with sweet potato fries: Like I mentioned, by the time we got home, everything was cold and just ok. Nothing special. - Patty Melt with garlic Parmesan fries: this was not as flavorful as I was hoping, but it was not horrible. The fries were cold and soggy soft. - Cookies & cream milkshake: can't go wrong with a milkshake. Our last visit we dined in and it was redeeming. This review is based on that, as it should be! We ordered the Steak & cheese melt with garlic Parmesan fries. It was hot, fresh and flavorful! Everything was great, so yummy! We also ordered a strawberry lemonade and of course a cookies & cream milkshake. The strawberry lemonade was fresh and perfectly blended, delicious! The milkshake set me over the top! Honestly it was the best milkshake I've had in a while.It's not a huge place, and it was busy during lunch time. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter. Staff were friendly and kept the dining area clean. Certain drinks are at the front mini fridge area below the register. I am hooked on the cookies & cream hand spun milkshake and definitely going back just for the that! Best to dine in and don't take anything to go except for the milkshake! :)2024:2
