The Meltdown Grilled Cheese and Tap Room

The food is incredible, and that along with great local beer options, the friendliest atmosphere, and the way the owner and staff engage with each other tells you how great of a culture it is to be there! I will go back time and time again! Truly a hidden gem in Barre that I don’t think anyone (including myself) visit nearly enough! This place is my FAVORITE; and I can’t wait to sit outside on their beautiful deck many times this spring/summer! Thanks to Diane and the wonderful staff for all you do!

Wonderful restaurant! Our server Ella was so friendly and very attentive! The food was delicious! Definitely worth the visit

The Meltdown is by far the top pick of the area. My family comes here often knowing the food, service, atmosphere and cleanliness is top notch during every visit. Every meal on the menu is not only fantastic from the homemade touch but HUGE. To top it off, Donna's homemade cheesecakes are to die for. Lots of love goes into every aspect of this business and it absolutely shows.

Great food, great service, and the owner personally checking in on each table really sets them apart. You can tell they really care about their patrons. Also love taking my dog here as it’s one of the few places in town that allows dogs on the patio!

Highly recommend.

The food is always excellent, and very filling. Tonight we had this week's special the Chicken Queso and it was beyond delicious and more than any of us could finish. The staff was - and usually is - very friendly and professional. Food is prepared quickly and the atmosphere is family friendly and very clean! If you're looking for a great eat , add the Meltdown as a stop on your way through the area!

Always enjoy going here! I send all of my guests there to eat and they have all come back fully satisfied and with glowing reviews... short of the one time I was told that they were given too much food... oh what a problem to have... abundance!!! Thank you Diane and all of the Meltdown Team for everything you do!
