Who woulda thought! - Edit
Large vegan & gf menu, all sorts of substitutes, makes getting a melt sandwich fee like the real deal.

Guilty pleasure - Edit
They have a dedicated menu, and mark which other options can be made vegan by request. The portions are huge, if you're the kind of person who likes to take home half for another meal.

Great menu - Edit
Lots of vegan options. I mean, the food is not even remotely healthy, but it is super good. They even have a separate vegan menu.

Pretty good junk food - Edit
Nice menu lots of options, if you go on the main website it has the vegan menu with pictures.
Read moreThe beyond chicken tenders are available to sub but with an upcharge. We had them in the bbq sandwich it was really good. Down side was the Mac n cheeze. Tried the buffalo CK with ranch drizzle and the side Mac with the sandwich. Both were super disappointing. No flavor no depth just bland. We also had the fried pickles which were crispy huge and briney, but the batter is so thick that the center was just a bit dougy. Not good. Good options, just not quite living up to it.
Pros: Liked the Halloween decor, Fast service, Large vegan menu
Cons: Mac n cheeze flavorless, Prices for flavor don't match, The "chicken" in the vegan Mac wasn't even cooked

Delicious vegan cheese - Edit
The vegan chorizo and potato hash grilled cheese was a winner. The vegan cheese could easily pass as dairy cheese. It’s very creamy and melts well. The fries come in a very generous portion and seasoned well.

Cons: They forgot to add avocado to my sandwich

I love Melt - Edit
So easy to veganize much of the menu! Buffalo tofu with vegan ranch is my favorite starter. There's also a Wet Hot Buffalo Tofu grilled (vegan) cheese sandwich that's amazing. Other favorite sandwiches are the Parmageddon with tofu bacon and the Backyard BBQ. Fries are excellent.

Separate vegan menu - Edit
Melt has always had vegan choices on the menu, but now they have a separate vegan menu which makes it easier to find the vegan options. They also offer a nice choice of vegan meat substitutes, including seitan. Vegan cheese and vegan butter are also part of their vegan offerings. Try the vegan Smoky Russian or the vegan Wake & Bacon.

Almost everything was fried and they don't use a dedicated fryer for vegan items. - Edit
I had heard that they had good vegan options and I was hoping to find something that was remotely healthy that wasn't a salad. I ended up getting with a salad and it wasn't very good.
Read moreAccording to the manager, this restaurant does not use dedicated fryers for vegan items. Since every "vegan" item I could find had something fried that means none of their vegan items are vegan in the strictest sense.

Pros: Staff was friendly
Cons: Very loud open space, No healthy vegan options

true very slim on healthy options period. I would say maybe the cole slaw may be the only healthy item. Lots of Vegan items like you say but mostly fried and sauces likely have either a lot of sugar or oil I suspect. Maybe the peanut butter and banana sandwich is fairly healthy (peanut butter has sugar though)

great food and service - Edit
Super Vegan Friendly! Lots of sub vegan options. Tofu buffalo "wings" with vegan ranch were delish! I also enjoyed the Chorizo & Potato. They make the chorizo in house using seitan. Sandwiched are huge but some have 1/2 portion options.

Awesome Bread! - Edit
I went on a Saturday night. We walked in the doors at 4:30 p.m. and didn't get seated until almost 7 p.m. (there were 2 of us) so there is a very long wait. Also, the kitchen can only make 6 sandwiches at a time, so it took an additional 45 minutes to get the food.
Read moreI ordered a sandwich with vegan mozzarella (they use Tofutti), avocado and tomato. There weren't very generous with the veggies. The bread and the french fries were amazing. The cole slaw was a little sweet, but not so much that it was sickening.
They have a really good beer selection. The atmosphere is really cool, but I don't think the food was really worth the wait. If I lived in the area, I probably would only get carry out.
Pros: Thick bread, Great atmosphere
Cons: Meter parking in the back, Long wait

Not health food - Edit
Melt has very tasty grilled cheese sandwiches. They'll stuff interesting things in there, like pierogies and burgers (including veggie burgers). i don't want to know how much calories and fat are in those enormous sandwiches. For a dollar you can get a good-sized side house salad instead of fries or slaw. I'm always stuffed after half the sandwich and the salad, so I save the rest and reheat it later. The beer is a good value too. Don't go without making a reservation.
Read morePros: Huge portions, Interesting food, Good drinks

Melt my heart - Edit
A large selection of grilled cheese, brews, and side dishes. Two types of vegan cheese available. The sandwiches are huge and come with fries and vegan slaw. Often busy, you may have to wait for a table. Lots of parking behind building.
