Melt Bar and Grilled in Cleveland Heights

Good food. Bread pudding to die for. My son loved the games.

Arrived to a small and cold (in climate) location, and then was seated at one of the seven round tables (each of which seat 4). At first I was a little bit worried about the length of time you had to wait prior to placing the order (10-12 minutes), however, was impressed with the way the waitress was able to take the order without pen/pad. Food arrived looking very appetizing! And the taste complimented as well! Because of the extensive and elaborate menu, hard to say that the food is overall good because there's so much to try. But I can say that what I had was very good! I liked the various options of add-ons to make your dish YOURS! Would want to come back many times (as long as service is good) to try other creations.

NOT FRIENDLY! If you would like food in a reasonable period of time or would like to be treated like a decent human being.... DONT COME HERE!

Delicious, unique food. I got the grilled cheese lasagna - very filling. Some neat drink options as well. The server was very honest about how good (or not good) menu items were. My drink was a little overpriced and it was a bit chilly in the restaurant - fans were blasting which made my food a bit cold but otherwise, a good hangout spot.

The Korean War Pig. Yum. The kimchi slaw was inspired. Great sandwich. I sat at the bar and had a great time.

Wait for at least 45 minutes for a table. Wait another 45 minutes to get a grilled cheese and tomato soup to the table. The soup is more than disappointing. It tasted like pasta sauce. I know they don't want to be Campbell's but why does it taste like pasta sauce? I expected what I grew up with upscale, better quality and better ingredients. I didn't expect it to be completely reinvented. You pay top dollar for a plate full of sadness. One of the most disappointing experiences at a restaurant that everyone raves about and worships.

The decor is awesome and so much do to besides eat... Play video games, watch sports, etc. Very fascinating art and things concerning our city you'll find hanging from walls and ceilings.

The kitchen needs to call "Food in the Window " General Manager was not professional....Did not care our food was cold. 8 guest and only two were satisfied with their meals. Mac and cheese. No taste. No flavor. And COLD....temperature?

Visited here out of spontaneity on Thursday night. Surprisingly they were not slammed, as they normally are. The server was excellent, she was very friendly and was on top of things, we never had to ask for additional refills. The food was extra salty for some reason, but we did take it home for lunch the next day. Tasted even better than the day it was made.

Huge servings little more on pricey side but well worth it. Always try and seek out a grilled cheese place on trips. Had the buffalo chicken chowder and Cleveland cheesesteak. Both very good. Also has good beer selection

Great place with large portions. The veggie burger was not very good but the waiter took good care of us. Our table also had a fish sandwich, eggplant parma sandwich, dude abides sandwich and fried green tomatoes. Awesome!!

First time here and was drawn in by the old school arcade games and overall deco of the place. Sat down and was immediately greeted with a badass bartender named Gabe, and one of the coolest menus I've ever seen. Decided on the "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon" and am currently sitting at the bar contemplating if I should "purge" myself in order to be able to finish off this absolute MASTERPIECE of Sandwich Wonder. So I'll go ahead and give this place an 11/5 star review because I'm currently looking up Marriage Laws, and if it's legal to Tie The Knot with an Eatery.

Couldnt have been any better. I went their with some expectations from the photos on their menu and was shocked at how good it was. I would eat their every day if I was sure it wouldn't give me a heart attack after a week. I will be back. (I had the monte Cristo)

Used to go here a lot but won't be ordering food from them again. They still have great bar drinks, but I ordered the hangover fries which come with a song side up egg on top and it wasn't fully cooked. When I called to complain the manager told me what a sunny side egg is, which was interesting in case my three years working at a diner led for room for confusion, and told me it was safe to eat. The whites weren't even set and had run all over the fries, I'm not eating a raw egg and I certainly don't recommend anyone else do so. Thanks for the encouragement into life with salmonella though.

Best sandwiches in Cleveland. Never disappoints!! 😋

Delicious food, as always! This is a nice location. Parking can be a bit limited- but you usually can find something.

I’m starting to get sick of their slow service. This is probably the 3rd time this has happened at this location. All the other locations are great but this one is just horrible. I called for a pick up, ordered, and was told the wait would be 20-25 minutes, so I got there in 20 minutes. I was waiting for a good freaking 15 minutes until someone actually got to me. Plus the place wasn’t even packed. Meanwhile my order was sitting right there in front of me the entire time. once I felt the box I knew for sure it was sitting there longer than that. Melts food is great but its very unpredictable thinking about if you’re going to receive good service or not. They need to get their sh*t together.

Omg... I can not believe the food that was served from Melt. First waffle was brunt. Second the chicken was over cooked, hard as a brick. The syrup they put in the lid was not closed and it spilled everywhere. And the other sauce that was to be on the sandwhich was just totally missing. I'm just in complete shock this came out of their kitchen.

Can't stop eating the mac and cheese! So delicious!! I try to get something new whenever I go in and I'm always satisfied! Also, they have the most extensive vegan/vegetarian/gluten free menu I have ever seen, which makes this the ideal spot for dates with my vegetarian girlfriend. I have never had a problem with the service from Melt and the atmosphere is amazing as well!!

Waitress was off today. My friends order all messed up n overcooked spicey. My food was good. Very small sandwich portions on both.

I was really impressed by their HUGE vegan menu! That's a rare find. Food and service were top notch.

Great place for comfort food! You'd be surprised at the amount of variety that can come from grilled cheese or Mac and cheese. There are even vegan/vegetarian options! This place gets busy and parking is in the back. Definitely recommend!

Food was really good and friendly staff! Got the Korean War Pig and fried pickles. The pickles were fried a little hard, but had good taste with the accompanying dip. Recommend to give it a try!

I'm really not into all that bread and I had some bad experiences with there service tried twice I'm done.

Good food, good service. Great beer selection

Was ok, yes just "ok". Service was slow and the food was what it was; nothing special. They do have a lot of options when it comes to grilled cheese, but I was not impressed. The atmosphere was fun and upbeat, good for a one time visit but not a place I would frequent.

Salad was really good and fresh. The barbecue nachos were ok. The macaroni and cheese seemed a little hard and chewey however the flavor wasn't bad. The cheesesteak and the burger I got were both very salty. The tomato soup was really flavorful. The sandwiches to me were very overpriced for the amount you get . The waitress was very friendly. It did though take the cooks a long time to get the food out.

Service was super slow, that's what happens when a slow bartender tries to also take dining tables. Food was decent, my mom got the fish sandwich and it was very plain and kind of gross to be honest.

No bad feelings about this spot! Good food💯

I am a dorr dash delivery and this place was always a gr8 pickup n go. Someday I gotta eat there myself.

I had the Cheeseburger Melt w/extra cheese and it was wonderful. Great food

The food was great, but the service was not. In our party we ordered a Cuban Pig, Meatball Sandwich and the Fish Sandwich. They were all good.

We had a great time. No wait for a table. Get in to try one of their special burgers before they rotate out again.

Great eclectic bar and grill! Very friendly staff, food was amazing!!! I had the Cleveland Cheese Steak and my wife had the Old Popper (I think that's what it was called). Best sandwich I have ever had. Great seletion on the menu for both food and drinks and once again very friendly staff!

Couldn't get my order correct after sending it back twice. The other sandwiches ordered by my party, the bread looked barely cooked. Not enough service and not the first time this location has been disappointed. Don't bother with Melt's customer service at corporate either. They didn't even take the time to at least apologize.

Cheese is not a substitution for quality or flavor. The food is was served hot, but not fresh. I had the Gyro sandwich and my mom has the mac & cheese sandwich. The gyro meet was dry and the amount of feta and Muenster used was overwhelming. You could not taste the yogurt sauce and the sandwich was dead on arrival. The cheese wedges have the wrong batter and it tastes to greasy. Honestly, I’m confused how you can butcher the American classic so badly. The Mac & cheese was deep fried velveeta. It’s good for 2 bites before you give up hope on life. I would never recommend this restaurant. In fact, I can’t believe it has been able to open more than one location.

Eclectic, retro 80s ambiance in a bar/restaurant with arcade games. It is no Dave & Buster's, but it the layout supports casual get-togethers. Everytime that I visit the place, they have updated and rearranged things, which is kinda cool.I ordered the tasty tomato basil soup along with the sharp cheddar grilled cheese sandwich. To wash it down, I drank the cactus mule, which was a bit dry yet potent.

An absolute must-go if you are in the area! They have many fantastic sandwiches to choose from as well as macaroni and cheese sides and burgers. The Kindergarten is their signature simple grilled cheese, but they've got a ton of choices with different meats and cheeses. I definitely recommend the Mighty Macaroni, a grilled cheese with fried macaroni and cheese in the sandwich.

The staff at this restaurant are okay, the environment is okay, but the menu is a BUYER BEWARE type of situation!If you are looking for greasy, gooey, deep fried food then you will find this place to be quite tasty! But if you are looking for something healthy to eat, don't bother showing up at the door. They make food that will surely kill ya! If you are in need of calories asap this is definetely the place to go; but if you have any type of heart condition, high blood pressure, or need to lose weight, don't do it! Cheese, grease, fried yum yums, pork, more grease, things that would make your doctor shake her head at the shame of the menu. This place will even deep fry a whole sandwich for ya. In conclusion: I wouldn't eat there, but hey, you might like it. Not a place to take your girlfriend on a date.

Good food, great atmosphere!

Melt is a classic Cleveland restaurant known for their meaty and cheesy sandwiches with thick, toasted bread. They have a lot of great options on the menu like the Wet Hot Buffalo Chicken, the Big Fat Gyro (pictured), and the peanut butter bacon burger (my personal favorite item on the menu). I think it is a place worth trying, but the prices run a little higher than expected, the serving sizes (previously huge) sometimes leave me hungry, and the services can sometimes be slow though this is often because of how popular and busy Melt tends to be.

I come here every time I am in Cleveland for work. The service is good, prices are fair. The sandwiches are HUGE and very tasty. I had the pulled pork BBQ this time. I feel it had too much going on, will probably keep it simple next time. The watermelon salad is amazing

I feel like Melt Bar and Grilled has stepped up their game recently. We recently returned to Melt after at least a year long hiatus and I'm so happy that we did. Usually I associate Melt with excess, and it is excessive, but my most recent Kindergarten Combo was much more restrained. In general, a half sandwich here is sufficient for me, and sometimes I just really want a good grilled cheese. The kindergarten is a great option- just a plain grilled cheese sandwich (and you get to pick your cheese).

Disgusting food along with terrible service. The waitresses I had each time I went there were awful. They were rude, slow, left food sitting to bring to the table so long it was ice cold when it got to us. Food is awful. Super greasy. I got tomato soup with a grilled cheese and there was no soup! It was chunky tomato sauce.

Wasn’t even too packed and our food didn’t even take that long and they gave us a free app for the wait and were super nice! Manager made rounds checking on tables, always a nice touch. Good tap selection

Overall the food was excellent and the ambiance was great. However, on a Thursday night we waited 40 minutes for a table while several empty tables set idle and our food from ordering delivery took over 30 minutes. if you have young kids and are looking for a quick bite to eat I would suggest other nearby restaurants. If you have time and want great food you won't be disappointed!

Great Service..Food is Fantastic

Good prices haha 😆 Child please stop the madness. Y’all dead wrong.

Melt is my favorite restaurant! Sometimes it's hard to get a table but it's worth the wait. I haven't had a single sandwich there that I haven't liked. The fries are great too - very well seasoned. Melt also has a great selection of beer.

This place is a must visit if you are in the Cleveland area. The food is plentiful and awesome! Seen this on Diners, Drive ins and Dives and had to taste! I get The Dude Abides alot and cannot finish in one seating. There are always leftovers!
