All show and no go. Had pierogis. The veggie mix they were served on was great, but it went downhill from there. Pierogis themselves ok but nothing special. Meatballs on MB sandwich average, bread nothing special although better than store bread. Fried cheese was a distraction, marinara bland. Overall, the sandwich was flashy looking but boring. Likewise, in spades, for the slaw. Nothing distinctive about it. No bite like vinegar slaw, no creaminess like mayo based dressing. Just…cabbage plus. Great decor. Louder than a jet airplane (literally). Glad I went, but only to say I’ve been there.
At this point probably the most famous Cleveland eatery outside those owned by Michael Symon, it was prior to expansion that I paid my one and only visit to Melt Bar + Grilled, a long day of Roller Coasters with family leaving all of us famished and thus in a perfect state to re-visit owner Matt Fishs Grilled Cheese concept in its latest and greatest format, the Independence location at least quadrupling the originals tiny floor plan.Now sporting some half-dozen restaurants, all thriving including those in Akron and Columbus, it was just past 9:00pm that our party of three was offered seating amidst televisions and luminescent plastic lawn ornaments, a middle-aged server with the company since nearly day one explaining a few daily specials before leaving us to our decisions, the recent addition of half-sandwiches allowing a whole lot of variety including appetizers and dessert.Showing Sunday night football in below a soundtrack of tunes spanning the sixties through the eighties it was with still more people entering to fill our section that items started arriving, three golden Mac & Cheese Bites followed by two more with a joke about the cooks math skills, the gooey insides somehow still featuring springy Pasta with extra Cheese sauce added for dipping.Unable go halfsies on specials, the Voodoo Zombie Chicken Melt thus arriving in whole and flanked by a quartet of half-Sandwiches, those looking for a bit of heat will be happy to know that the Halloween themed dish packed plenty without going atomic or tongue-melting by way of Pickled Peppers and Plantains, the housemade Chorizo actually a bit more poignant as the breakfast favorite was topped iun crispy Potato Hash and an add-on soft-poached Egg.Spinning the classic Meatball Sub forward with fried Mozzarella triangles, the Big Lebowski themed title not particularly sensible unless there is a subtle Italian reference in the film that I missed, more great bites were found amongst the messy Cuban War-Pig that sees Havanas famous Sandwich re-created with Frickles and Honey Mustard, the fried Monte Cristo going all-in with both Ham and Turkey plus Swiss and Raspberry Preserves, a rarely seen combination that some will say is true to the dishs earliest diner origins.Not particularly interested in Fried Twinkies, another Half-Sandwich joining the Seasonal Bread Pudding to round out our meal, my only regret was not ordering the Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich with a trip to the deep-fryer, the results still tasty but lacking in the face of Custard soaked Chocolate Bread wrapped around Peanut Butter Frosting atop a bed of housemade Whipped Cream and crowned with an oversized scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. endoedibles.com
I used to love Melt started going when there was only one location in Lakewood. The fries taste like they are frozen and not fresh cut, too much seasoning. The sandwiches are not nearly as fresh as they used to be. I went with a friend and we both had horrible indigestion. Very disappointing use to be great.
Retro Americana, a box-like space stuffed with neon, illuminated lawn ornaments, under a tin ceiling. An excellent selection of great beers, with plenty on tap. Past peak lunch hours during the holiday season, walked into an expected wait. Service both in and out of the kitchen was reasonable. The extensive, well detailed menu left little to question. Boulevard 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat brew to wet the whistle, complimented by a savory coffee mug full of Buffalo Chicken Chowder. Next up, a hulk of a sandwich, the Korean (War Pig) bbq glazed pulled pork with seared pork belly, fried pickle, honey mustard and Swiss stacked between Texas thick toasted Sourdough. Unquestionably one of the premier sandwich spots in Cleveland, with appetite-busting offerings fit to satisfy any pubgoers palette.
Great atmosphere and awesome food. Stopped in while on biz from Detroit. The entire staff was great and upbeat. The selection is off the charts, just like the spunk of the decor. The fries are good, but just fries. The Cleveland Cheese Steak I got was great and very filling! My coworker got the Korean War Pig and he said it was amazing. My only warning for you is COME HUNGRY!!!
Worth the wait.. Despite having to wait an hour and half to be seated, Melt is certainly a family favorite. I had the peirogi sandwich which combined two of my favorite comfort foods. Pierogies and grilled cheese. My sandwich was perfectly cooked, not to soggy not to crispy! My daughter had Municipal Stadium and when I had a bite it took me back to being a child and having a hot dog at the then Jacobs field! My son had The old grand dads meatloaf and he said the meatloaf was better than his grandmothers famous meatloaf which is the highest compliment he could give ever! All in all the service was great, the food was great and we will continue to wait any time for these gourmet sandwiches!
Great food! Love the fries
