Discover OhioOctober 26, 2012Their goal is to provide gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and as many beers as possible in a cool and comfortable environment. They have been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives & Man v. Food.
Based off other recommendations I tried "The Dude Abides" awesome sandwich with huge meatballs. Only problem is how difficult it is to pick up and eat! Next time I think I'll try the God Father.
Brittany SApril 22, 2013The food was amazing!! I loved the buffalo chicken sandwich, just wasn't to happy about the cook with the huge beard I could see in the back making the food.. But I loved it ill definitely go back!!
JL Johnson @User47August 27, 2019Shockingly vegetarian and vegan friendly. They even have a custom vegetarian/vegan menu but it’s not necessary as the standard menu is easy to navigate and well labeled. 🙏🏻- Ivo TzvetkovAugust 12, 2019One of the most famous restaurants in the city. It’s the place to be if you love cheese. You can get something as simple as the Kindergarten grilled cheese to the Mighty Macaroni sandwich.
Justin LockeMay 19, 2015Great place - amazing food and beer selection is fantastic. Happy hour 4-7. If staying at surrounding hotel just come here
Best sandwiches in the city. Period. This is by far one of my most favorite places to eat. Simply amazing. Everyone needs to try it!
Eric AndersenSeptember 1, 2018The melts and grilled cheeses here are thick and delicious — so many options to choose from!
Jodi LynnSeptember 2, 2015Seriously. The Monte Cristo, the Chicken and Waffle plus the Wet Hot Buffalo....impossible to choose one. Take friends and share. Sooooo goood!
JenKuduMay 29, 2014Big popper is super hot! The jalapeños are fresh and not seeded. Split a sandwich and drink an extra beer :)
Be adventurous. There are 35 sandwiches and a million different ways to get them. You can add or delete anything to/from any sandwich. Get a beer to go with it, a good beer, there are over 100.
Myrna PeachockJune 22, 2012Yum yum and yum. I had the twelve mile limit martini. Wow, we stayed like an hour and a half to let it wear off. The sandwich was enough for two. Now we know. Saw melt on diners, drive ins and dives.
Nicole LoveJune 24, 2013Blackened chicken? Amazing!!! I don't even like sandwiches...I ate the whole thing. (Between lunch & dinner) Thank God there's not one in Arkansas! I don't need the temptation!!!
Monique WilsonDecember 25, 2014The vegan Cleveland Cheesesteak and 🍟 was awesome! I'm sure you meat lovers will love the real thing. 👍
Be patient. There's a wait for a reason. It's a fun and tasty place to eat and everything is made when it's ordered! The service is great!!!!
Mike GOctober 18, 2016I recommend the Mom's Meatloaf which has mashed potatoes and chipotle ketchup. Deish!
Jim MoytaNovember 7, 2016Wonderful comfort food, excellent beer selection, fun ambiance, and an awesome waitstaff.
Gleb JensenSeptember 8, 2014This place is awesome, the Parma Italy was delicious, service is good and the whole scenery is great
jackie dobbsJune 15, 2014Sit at the bar, get a drink and order anything your heart desires. If you're a visitor, this place is a MUST.
We Stop here quite often. Food is good and they have a huge beer list.
The grilled cheese sandwiches are awesome!! They're enormous so I recommend getting the 1/2 sandwich size.
Erika MillerJuly 16, 2014Give yourself time for a long wait. But it's so worth it. Wake-n-bacon is my all time favorite sandwich. Great place.
Ben HaubrichDecember 8, 2011Amazingly delicious food. Not exactly expensive, but not too cheap either. The Dude Abides sandwich is amazing. But that's just like..my opinion man.
Leah PischieriOctober 23, 2011My new favorite sandwich is the chorizo and potato! But the grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich is so hard to pass up, just get both.- Mike GOctober 18, 2016On tap is Melt's own version of a light lager. Like a borderline Pilsner & North American adjunct.
Ana NickolaouJuly 6, 2013Summer Chicken Melt was amazing. Not a fan of the fries or coleslaw but the melts are worth the visit.
Wendy KrausJune 27, 2012Grilled cheese HEAVEN. The chefs work magic in this kitchen. You WON'T leave hungry :) (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
John WallencheckApril 2, 2014Check out the menu online first. There are so many great sandwiches it'll take you awhile to decide
Kevin DudleyAugust 26, 2014I've tried a few here, but my favorite is still The Big Popper with bacon.
Dan is by far the best ever. He's fast, friendly, and gives great recommendations. Thanks Dan, you rock!
Best food around! And the prices are great! You will not leave hungry
So many sandwiches are great! Hangover fries are so good!
Jay GreenNovember 25, 2013The Dude Abides!!!! Get it and thank me later! Craft Root beer is,good too
ConnorNovember 3, 2013Shrimp Po Boy Melt & Buffalo Chicken Chowder. If I were on death row this would be my last meal.
Their burgers are fenominal! It's like a grilled cheese and a steak burger combined!
Sarah Wallace-LaphamJanuary 3, 2017The food just is so.I wouldn't be apt to spend the money on it again. The service was also so so for the type of food we got. We were put in a separate room because we were a large family with kids.
Wil NovakAugust 6, 2012Crazy big portions great tasting food but wish the fries would have come out a bit more crispy. They got soggy real fast!
Angel Vazquez JrMay 29, 2014Was great apparently I no longer have the room for food. YAYYYYY TONS OF FOOD GREAT PRICE.
Try the Cleveland Cheesesteak....was pleasantly surprised! OH and tell Paul Sonya says hi!
