Very nice modern spot with a clean aesthetic and friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The food is great comfort fare — I highly recommend the Original Single Patty with fries for a classic combo. The Mushroom Chicken is a flavorful option if you’re looking for something different, and the Mac N Cheese is creamy and satisfying. Portions are generous, definitely great for sharing. Overall, a solid choice for a casual bite while shopping.

This PLACE never disappoints I always get my -strawberry shake with some -sweet potato fries and a -salad of course. That salad is so freaking good it tastes even better the next day and I cant forget that spectacular view I had coming in .... ;) Plus the workers are very sweet and hard working My boy in there hooked me up with a lot of xtra pickles.. The pickles here just hit different can't explain U gotta try it out and be the judge... This 4ever my late night snack place for the goodies n amazing view.

I got a burger and bacon cheddar ranch fries. The food was great but I can't say anything about service or atmosphere as I had it delivered with Uber eats. Even a little cold from delivery the food was good.

We come to Stanford University from pretty far out every few months due to what’s often an overnight procedure my brother undergoes at the hospital there, and the Melt is usually the only place we can grab some nice dinner close by (which is better than the overpriced shoddy hospital cafeteria food) when it’s that late, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint! The food is always delicious and filling, which is exactly what we need at the time before having to get through the night and the long trip back home! Although it might seem overpriced at first, it really is worth every penny you pay for what’s offered! I absolutely recommend this place for delicious filling late night grub! It’s definitely deserving of the 5 🌟 for the great food offerings fit for vegetarians too, the quick service, and the inviting atmosphere! 😄👍

Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian and vegan options, including being able to substitute any of the meat patties with Impossible meat!

Dietary restrictions: As the name implies, there’s LOTS of cheese, so be careful if you’re lactose intolerant!

Parking: Plenty of parking available in the public market lot

Kid-friendliness: It’s a sandwich shop with amazing cheese variety, what more needs to be said?

Love this place, can't give enough praises. The burgers are great and I would order from here more IF...

There was pick up parking in front. Looking for parking in this shopping center is terrible and by the time you get your food, it is cold.

I ordered a burger online at the wrong place, but the staff there is really nice and would love to make the same burger here and it helped me avoid detouring to the place I ordered.
