Stopped in for a quick lunch bite to go. This is a casual sandwich shop. Very minimal decor. White walls, concrete floor and a few tables and chairs. You could enter your order at the kiosk or directly with the cashier. I Ordered a tomato soup which was smooth and creamy and tasty. I also ordered the Italian Job which is a mushroom and cheese sandwich on a spicy garlic bread. Unfortunately the bread wasn't spicy nor garlic. I'd stop by again for the soup alone.

Kind of a surprising lack of flavor in the Melt Original. Was just an okay burger. Expected more flavor for the amount of cheese and grease oozing off the thing. Bun was also super dry and flavorless. Would be much better if it was toasted. Overall meh.

I came to The Melt because coworkers wanted to meetup before the parade back in February. I thought food was pretty good. Fresh and delicious.

It was my first time trying their double meltburger, and it was really delicious! The beef patties were juicy and huge, I couldn't even finish them in one sitting, and ended up splitting them into three meals lol. Highly recommended!

The Melt is a fantastic little find in a prime location right near Salesforce Tower. It's a small spot, but the food was absolutely delicious and makes it a place I'd happily visit again. The only heads-up is that service can be a bit on the slow side, so it's best for when you're not in a major rush. When I visited, the wait was actually a plus, as I got to step outside and watch a street performance happening nearby. If you're looking for a delicious meal in the area and have a little time to spare, The Melt is a solid and satisfying choice.
