The Melt - Oakland (CA)

3 /5 april: For a late night bite the food was not bad. Nice and hot and prepared made to order at 230a I must give due credit. Plenty of seating inside and out. The self serve condiment station was gross with globs of ketchup in the tray. As previously mentioned, it’s a good spot for late food and it will be served fresh. I would try a burger if I came by the spot again.

5 /5 Mikayla B: Absolutely delicious food and great friendly service! I got the Mac and cheese melt with extra bacon as well as the garlic Parmesan fries, snickerdoodle shake and raspberry seltzer water. I’ve never tried a snickerdoodle shake and that was delicious!

4 /5 A A: I understand we like to live in a cheese forward society. That’s all fine and dandy. The Melt takes that cheese identity to the next level. Well what if we are lactose intolerant? There are multiple lactose free options (cheese & milk) available on the market. Why not start testing out lactose free substitutes? Y’all already got impossible burgers which don’t disappoint. One thing - do not bring in some gross vegan cheese alternative that tastes like raw dough mixed with yogurt. Lactose free cheese is still cheese. Vegan cheese is a disgrace.

5 /5 Mike Mc: After a long day of moving my daughter for college, this place was a godsend! They’re open late and they allow for online orders, which was perfect for us while coming back to our AirBnB in Oakland after a long day and night. We tried their grilled cheese sandwich and fried chicken sandwich, with sweet potato fries and homemade lemonade. Everything was perfect! I can appreciate a good grilled cheese, and this had all of the key ingredients: great bread, good cheeses, and the option to add things like bacon, jalapenos, and even Mac and cheese! The fries were perfectly prepared. Great spot for some really good comfort food for a very reasonable price!
