Came in from the cold to warm up to tomato soup and was informed they were out. 11:30 am before the lunch crowd. Disappointed to find out the whole warehouse style seating area was cold. This plus the lack of wait staff made my lunch visit completely uncomfortable. Great menu but the food from the kitchen was ho hum cold.

Stopped for lunch here yesterday and had really delicious food. Since I've never been, the menu was different and I had to ask questions but the employee was friendly. I ordered a vegan black bean burger and it was really great. I'd recommend it and return.Vegetarian options: Great vegan and vegetarian options!!Dietary restrictions: Super surprized to learn they can accommodate dietary restrictions!

I ordered the burger (half size) it was pretty good, but since it's on bread rather than a traditional bun the bottom half was very soggy. Had a generous amount of toppings too. The fries were hand cut and seasoned but not as crispy as I prefer them. My girlfriend ordered the chicken tenders and a side of Mac n cheese. I tried that too and liked the Mac n cheese. The tenders weren't bad either and they were very tender which is good. The sauces however were lacking in my opinion, I tried the ranch, honey mustard, and Buffalo. Portions on both meals were good too. Overall the food wasn't bad but for what it cost I can't see myself going back, just too expensive for the quality.

I was visiting the area and saw this place by the mall. It looked very nice on the outside and when I walked in I fell in love. The old pictures on the wall were such a nice touch. Lots of beer choices to include draft and bottle. The menu is different but wow so good. I got the Hangover Fries and 10 wings with their Melt Awesome Sauce. These wings were so big. The sauce was unique but so tasty. The Hangover Fries were amazing. The staff were friendly and it was a nice quiet atmosphere. This is a must go if you are in the area. You too will fall in love!

We live in the area and had never been here before. We were kinda of force to go here, because our regular burger place was closed for the holiday and Red Robin had way to long of a wait. So we ventured over to the Melt Bar and Grilled. As we entered the hostess was very nice and took us right to a table. We passed by the bar on the way. The bar looked awesome. They have a very large beer selection. My wife ordered a bbq pork sandwich, she ordered a half. I ordered a Melt burger. We were asked would you like whole or half. I just said whole. When they brought it to the table I realized I should have ordered a half. This burger and fries was very, very good. I put it up there with my favorite local burger place. Service was great too. The prices however are a little higher than I expected. I definitely recommend this place though.

The food and service was phenomenal! I definitely recommend getting a half melt instead of a full if you don't have a bottomless stomach like I do. Our server was also very friendly and had a good sense of humor. I don't recall his name but he had black hair and glasses.

This place is pretty average. There menu is small and limited. We got the chips & onion dip as an appetizer and did not enjoy it. Each chip was seasoned differently, either too much salt or too little. We waited 45 minutes for our entrees. When it arrived, I could tell my sandwich had been sitting for at least 5-10 minutes, it was not hot anymore. Cheese was dried up. My boyfriend’s food on the other hand was piping hot. Don’t know if maybe they had to remake his food for some reason which led to my food sitting and the long wait time. They didn’t say. Taste wise everything was average. It was not bad but nothing stood out to us to make us feel the need to come back. The mac and cheese was the best part. I will say the staff members were great and very friendly. I think there are better places to spend your money.

Service was fantastic!!! My salad croutons were off the charts full of pepper as well as my cole slaw. What the heck manager!!!! Don't put sooo much pepper in basic menu items!!!!
We had been talking about Pulled Pork for a week. Found ourselves in the Dayton Mall area with literally hundreds of places to eat. Asked Yelp! Where to go, and saw many stars on this place called "Melt Bar & Grilled." OK, I trust us, so we decided to go in. It's a pretty trendy place, I suppose. The hostess was adorable - she asked how many were in our party, and when I told her, just 2, she lit up and said, Oh good, I can seat you now! The waiter was even more fun, and I would pay to see his act. Funny, quick witted, and completely enjoyed his role in our dinner experience. We ordered drinks, and decided to go with the Grilled Cheese with Pulled Pork. Definitely asked for the pickle, and wanted to try the cole slaw, too. I was elated with the sandwich, and I loved the Mac & Cheese. The cole slaw was just okay, but it wasn't bad, just okay. Overall, the experience was awesome. I reached out to my kids and explained we had found this place, and the vegetarian options were exceptional, so we're making plans to revisit soon. Definitely recommend. Great food, fantastic service, and it won't break the bank!

This place has tons of vegetarian and vegan comfort food! It's not often people with those dietary restrictions have an overwhelming number of interesting options, but this place provides. Pictured are The Dude Abides, seasonal Kung Pao broccoli, and mustard tossed tofu wings. Absolutely fantastic and gigantic portions. The service was good and quick.

Good experience. Food was tasty. I had Buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese and it was delicious! We had the fried bananas sundae—I think this is a must! Oh my goodness!! Our waiter was Theo who was so helpful since this was our first visit. I would eat here again! Recommended!!

The atmosphere was right up my alley. Reminds me a lot of Hard Rock Cafe. Food was great as well. Took about 20 minutes for our waiter to just take our drink orders. I don't hold that against them though. We'll definitely be back.
