I have made a couple of trips to Cleveland from Toledo, and each time stopping at Melt is the #1 priority. The food is always amazing, and I can't recommend checking this place out enough.

Anything can go between cheese and bread to become a grilled cheese at Melt Bar & Grilled. Try the Godfather: a grilled cheese with a big piece of messy, gooey lasagna in the center. Read more

PureWow

Grilled cheese is the name of the game, and you can get it in about half a dozen styles like the Mighty Macaroni , made with deep-fried macaroni layered with melted cheddar . Read more

Allison Wankowski

The Hungry Hungarian is delicious, but would be better with extra sauce to dip it in! 1 meal here is always enough for two, so I suggest sharing one or you'll have lunch for tomorrow too!

Kevin Dudley

Fried green tomatoes were excellent. The Firecracker Chicken (sandwich of the month) was tremendous. Spicy , cool, sweet, it's got it all.

Mizzery

The new patio is what's up! Drinks and atmosphere is on point !. Just waiting fr my favorites , the chicken chowder and the monte Cristo , never a bad idea!

Joshua Dane

Comfort food for all! Meat lovers, vegetarian , and vegan alike with a wide variety of delicious options. A must stop whenever in town !

Ivo Tzvetkov

One 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 .

Enrique Gutiérrez Arzate

I had the Lake Erie Sandwich , although any one you have is going to be great! Full ones will leave you without energy for the next couple of hours

Annamaria Settanni McDonald Artist

Everything is awesome! Love the Poutine inspired fries appetizer ! Hungry Hungarian, The Godfather & Meatloaf Sandwich are awesome and just some of my favs at Melt!

Tana Babcock

Freaking delicious! Tried the Bahn Mi (which was a special) - if I could have fit it all in (that's what she said) I would have. Huge and yummy!

Michael Calderone

You have to get the Cuban War Pig , it is simply amazing. Oh and be warned, the portions are awesomely huge!

JT THIRDARM3AP / YNGSTWN+

One of Cleveland Ohio's Greatest Achievements - Owner Matt Fish is a G O D among men! Thank You for following your dreams and creating such amazing sandwiches !!!!!

Tricia Tanguy

The Northcoast Shores was the first sandwich I ever had here and remains a fav. The Wake & Bacon and Westside Monte Cristo are amazing! I love ordering sandwiches with friends so we can share halves!

Travel Channel

On Man v Food, Adam Richman heads to Melt Bar & Grilled for the Melt Challenge : a massive grilled cheese sandwich with 14 cheeses , plus fries and slaw , clocking in at 5-lbs. of gooey deliciousness.

Kim Holden

always delicious. Wish the wait was shorter and it was a little quieter but food is always yummy

Jen S

Stuffed sandwiches and fries . The mac and cheese bites are actually mac and cheese wedges and don't have much flavor.

JenKudu

You'll never want to eat another jalapeño popper in your life after you taste the Big Popper . Insanely good!! Also pb & banana will bring you childhood memories :)

Justine Arreche

Humongous portion sizes on the sandwiches so come starving. Service is always friendly . Vegan options for almost everything. Chili is a must have!

John Wallencheck

I got the Dudes Abide and my wife got the Special of the Month, the Hungry Hungarian, both are awesome sandwiches with fresh cut fries . Absolutely delicious!

Admire the rock memorabilia and devour a grilled cheese . Earn 25% off for life at Melt when you get a grilled cheese tattoo .

Cheapism

A unique concept, Melt serves up gourmet grilled cheese with many different twists and a huge beer selection . Try the Porky Cheese ($7.50) – ham , bacon and Swiss or the Melt Burger ($8). Read more

John Paul Maline

Talk about the sandwiches of all times. Its not just a grilled sandwich shop its beyond this universe . Just trying one made me a believer I Cant wait to go back and try another one.

Justin A

I wait all year for it and you should too! The corny beast! Its phenomenal!!! And if you can't get it try the Cuban or wet hot buffalo!!!! ;)

Avery Jenkins

The Melt Bar & Grilled has Great Sandwiches and an incredible selection of Craft Beers . The Monte Cristo is the Best Sanggie on the Planet!!!

Mollie

A Cleveland must. Great atmosphere and food. You're probably going to have a wait but its worth it. Beware the portions are HUGE.

Kristy P

Great build your own grilled cheeses . Come with a ton of fries and cole slaw . Big enough to split and be full.

Annamaria Settanni McDonald Artist

Everything is great, get the Hangover Fries ! Just like Poutine and topped with an egg ! Yum!

Jeremy Myers

There is no way this place will dissapoint. The grilled cheese is phenomenal. The mighty mac is always my go to.

Staci J. Shelton

The MAY SPECIAL: Tender prime rib roasted with a cracked black peppercorn spice crust, stacked with cheesy roasted garlic mashed red skin potatoes and provolone cheese . Horseradish & Au Jus. OMG

Tanya Rose

Always a long wait , but you can walk around until your time gets closer. I'f they have Brussels sprouts for a appetizer , get them. My favorite is the peanut butter and banana !

Kyle S

Check out the Sandwich Special they change every month, so come back next month and try the new one too.

John Mills

Bring an appetite! This is a lot of good food.

J Hamlin

Always check out the special of the month and the matching poster! Get a MELT Army shirt and a craft beer on draft . Watch Man vs Food 6/23 food network 9 pm. Vegetarian version of monthly always avail

Antoinette Benson

One of my favorite restaurants , when I come I always try the sandwich of the month. Have yet to come across a bad sandwich .

Rob Hutsler

Chicken & waffles melt with srachi butter and jalapeno syrup is ridiculously good.

David Snyder

Everything's great here. The portions are hughe. The brew is cold. Just love the place.

House of Blues

Best Grilled Cheese Restaurant ever! New to Cleveland ? Melt is a must-go... Feeling bold? Take on the Melt Challenge - over 5 lbs of food!

Alex K

Food is pretty good, but greasy and leaves you feeling a little gurgly inside because you know that you should be eating better! Staff is usually distracted or busy because they are always slammed.

Joshua Machovina

Great food. You need to either get a reservation or get there when it opens to get seated right away. May take upwards of 2 hours to get a seat if not. Worth the wait though.

Ryan Heller

WOW! BEST SANDWICHES ON THE PLANET. So worth the 2 hour wait. Great beer selection too.

J Druni

Melt House is not a salad , it's a freakin' life-size garden . Loved it! (Also, great price).

Kabba Lucci

I always come for the roast beef sandwich and the soup of the day. Best in Cleveland so far.

Mike Christescu

Melt never disappoints. Had fat city burger . Pretty good. Fave is Tokyo tuna melt . Don't forget to check the gourmet pops, birch beer is awesome.

Jason Tibolla

One of my absolute favorite sandwich restaurants ! Melt Family #598

Allen Vogliano

Everyone goes for the grilled cheeses , but the beer list is a knockout too!

Michael Quinn

Call takeout in over phone, saves wait. If not, grab beer while waiting. Check menu for prices: I asked bartender for good IPA & she gives me an $8 beer , telling me cost after it's already poured.

Stephen

Got to try the big popper grill cheese its one of the better grill cheese out there

Joshua Dane

Recent menu changes ; but it's all still good! Expanded vegitarian and vegan options .

Jen Cunningham

The PB&J is my fav!
