Reviews for The Melt in San Francisco, CA

The vibe is a long distance bus station with loud music to drive away homeless people and casual conversation. The menu is kid... friendly: grilled cheese, mac and cheese ... you have to order at the kiosk and if your kid changes their mind at the billingscreen you can't go back to change your order. Instead, as your convince your kid their original order was fine, the kioskquietly trashes your order and you have to round up your family again to get the order in correctly. The food is good. Theginger beer at the soda fountain is top notch. Read more

Great place to eat! My friend had a burger and said it was amazing, I had soup and salad and it was really good! But the best... part was the manager, she was so cool and helpful and made us feel at home! Definitely recommend this place! Read more

Good place to stop by if you have kids! 3 year old inhaled his Mac n cheese and 7 year old said his sandwich was ?the best food... ever!? Staff was super friendly and efficient. Big thank you to Janeka for taking care of our hungry family! Read more

I went to The Melt for late night sandwiches and was so happy that we did! My boyfriend ordered the Mac Daddy and added... jalapeno peppers. He said it was the best version of a grilled cheese he's ever had! I had the Three Cheese Classic and addedtomatoes and it was really good! We also ordered the garlic parmesan fries but were unable to eat them because weunderestimated the amount of garlic that they would have on them. I'm sure they are great for garlic lovers but just wasn'twhat we expected. The sandwiches were amazing though! Read more

Have been here consistently 1x a week or so for couple months, it's my go too lunch / dinner in a fix spot and is reliably fast,... neat, tasty. Great burgers. I've had good luck with salads and their tomato soup as well, get the extra croutons for it though! Read more

Tried this place for the first time. Place was busy and obviously very popular. I ordered the double melt since I was starving.... Quite frankly it was too much, which I rarely have said in my life regarding burgers. But this was way more filling than yourtypical double cheeseburger. When it arrived it looked amazing, so much cheese dropping off it and all around. Clearly juicy asit was already starting to pool in the tray. I thought man, this might be my new favorite. Well, while it was good, it was notnearly my favorite. For starters I thought the meat while cooked well was under-seasoned. I also thought the jalapenos that comeon the burger were flavorless. I think they've tried so hard to make them not spicy that they've made them closer to a cucumberin flavor than a jalapeno. Overall it was good, but amp those things up and you have a serious contender. The fries however wereoutstanding! Really tasty, crispy and well seasoned. The shake was awesome as well! I'll definitely be back, and would recommendgiving it a try. Though next time I'll have a single patty, definitely good and filling! Read more

Very convenient location and great food! I usually go here for a quick sandwich / salad for when I'm on the the go. Also, every... order seems to come with a complimentary pickle... can't go wrong with that!! Today I was looking for something lighter so Iwent with the Cobb Salad, though I wasn?t expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised by its tastiness. Read more

I had to wait for a while but it was worth it. If you're going to order pickup, be ready to wait for about 10 minutes later than... your ordering service says. I ordered through a service called Ritual which is one of those food ordering apps. I also saw thatthey accept a variety of other food ordering apps. When I walked in, I saw that there were about seven other people waiting andthe employees were all scrambling to make stuff. I had to wait about five more minutes than predicted but the person in chargegave me a free drink for the wait. There was also free WiFi to help me pass the time. I ordered a three cheese classic melt,tomato soup, and cheddar bacon ranch fries. Unfortunately, I didn't get my grilled cheese croutons with the tomato soup butreceived two pickles (which I did not order). I didn't really care though because I had just gotten off the ferry and justwanted some hot food to warm me up. The three cheese classic melt was one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've had. Itwasn't too salty or oily or anything. Just a nice grilled cheese sandwich made with great ingredients. It tasted great dippedinto the tomato soup. However, the cheddar bacon ranch fries were a bit too salty for me. I didn't finish it. I ordered threecheese classic melt and cheddar bacon ranch fries with "melt spice" which is some weird green powder that makes stuff tastegreat. The tomato soup was also great. I was satisfied and went to use the restroom. The restroom was pretty clean but could'vebeen cleaner. It was on the better side of restrooms I've been in. Overall, four stars. I had to wait but I understand why(they're really popular) and they got my order slightly wrong, but the customer service and amenities kind of made up for it.The food was priced very well considering that it's in downtown San Francisco. There is both indoor and outdoor dining availablehere. Read more
