Ashley explained the menu and our options very well. Party of 3 was able to enjoy ample portions.

The food was great and the ambience of the restaurant was very relaxed and enjoyable. The server, while friendly and competent, rushed us through our meal, forgot our cocktails, and did not spend enough time explaining the process of cooking the food, using the app or detailing the dishes. The hostess was not friendly and did not say goodbye as we left. The one thing that really irritated us was the way the general manager came out and fawned over obnoxious, drunk tourists while ignoring the other tables full of locals. Like many restaurants in this area, he needs a lesson in who actually keeps him in business for the majority of the year. Update: I received a response to this review from the restaurant stating the general manager would reach out to me, but of course, he never did. Unfortunate, but not entirely unexpected. After all...Tourists will always be the priority in this area...At least until the next economic crisis wipes them out like it did in 2007. Needless to say, my money will be spent elsewhere at that point.

Great experience. Thanks to our server who was willing to work on Christmas Eve this year!

Ryan was a fantastic server! She knew the menu well and made recommendations specifically for us that were spot on. We enjoyed absolutely everything. Looking forward to returning soon!
Heather Ann
Our server has served us three times so far, and she is always so sweet and so accommodating with my daughter's nut and dairy allergies and my pregnancy. Always ten out of ten.

The food and atmosphere at the Melting Pot are exceptional. The music is a bit loud but not over the top. The fun of cooking your own food at the table is worth the price for the experience. All of the food we had was high quality and the flavors were expertly thought out. The atmosphere is cozy at the table. This is a favorite with my family and we plan on returning.

Our waiter was awesome. Food was great. The 50th anniversary Grand Reserve cheese was the best.

We were in town for the weekend and a date night. Wife has never been before. We had the bacon beer cheese, house salads, mojo cooking style with the classic and steak lovers then the classic chocolate. Drinks wise we had the love martini and the Deep South tea. Everything was as awesome and so good! Our server was awesome and great explaning everything. We very much enjoyed our visit. I'll say, I've been to nicer melting pot restaurants in other locations, that were superior, far as ambience, design, decor etc.
Linda
We enjoyed our evening. Our server was great! A little pricey on the food. It was just ok, but the experience was fun. Everyone should go there at least once, but allow a couple of hours.

My time here was great! I wish I lived closer so I could come again! Our server Dion was amazing, loved his whole life. He was so sweet and made the night great! He needs a raise. ASAP. Highly recommend this location.
Dion W gave us awesome service for the night probably some of the best service we have ever had anywhere. Will definitely request next time we go.

I'll start by saying: we've never had fondue, but my wife always wanted to try it. We spent a week in the Destin area on our honeymoon and made a reservation at the Melting Pot. We did not expect the level of service we received. The staff set us up in a secluded little private booth which they adorned with rose petals for the happy couple. Our server was attentive and showed great sincerity when we disclosed a shellfish allergy at the table. We opted for the four-course for two and enjoyed the first round of delicious melty cheese with an assortment of things to dip in there. The main course came with several protein options and there's a little QR code to scan that will take you to a page full of timers to use depending on what you're cooking in your broth. I will say, a few of those timers seemed to be a little short but you can safely eyeball the doneness of your meat. The dessert fondue, we went with Rocky Road, was rich and delicious! Here's the cool part: the manager, whose name I regrettably cannot recall, came and checked on us a few times. When I ordered their new drink based around a blueberry whiskey, he came back around to see what we thought of it. We recommended a splash of ginger ale or sprite to liven it up some and to allow the effervescence to open some of the other incorporated flavors up. Unexpectedly, he brought the updated drink to us for further feedback and we all agreed it was an enhancement. If the owner is reading these reviews, we want you to know that your team at this location is doing an excellent job and we felt very special during our dinner there. Our thanks to each of them for being part of our special trip and giving us a lasting memory to share together. We will see you again on our next visit!

Food was great and we left full! I listed my husband’s birthday in the reservation and they had it listed on the chalkboard when we showed up. Nice touch! Michael was our server and did a great job. Tks!

We were here on vacation on 9-24-25. We decided to go to a nice dinner and chose this place. We couldn’t say more great things about this place! We told them it was our first time and they gave us recommendations to better help up. Our server Michael was amazing!

It was our first time coming to the melting pot. Michael was absolutely amazing and helped us decide which cheese and chocolate to choose. We will definitely be back!
