The Melt

The best meal in SF before you go to a show! The new Parm Chicken sandwich is so delicious! We bought that to share with 2 beers… all for about $26. No kidding! The burgers, garlic fries, and Mac-n-cheese is also so tasty. You gotta try this place!

Definitely a solid spot for a smash burger. I appreciate the option of chicken sandwiches as well for variety. The ginger beer was definitely not lacking in flavor. The amount of seating was surprising in a positive way with the additional seating on the second level.

Kiosk ordered Spicy Chicken, Sweet Potato Fires and Strawberry Shake! I personally don’t see anything special comparing to McDonald on a good day! The fries are too much salt but it’s hot and fresh. The Strawberry malt is fantastic with real strawberries!

Great for a fast comfort food option. The Parm garlic fries were fantastic. Mac and cheese sandwich was exactly what I needed for a guilty pleasure kind of meal. Staff were friendly. My bf sandwich didn't have any meat on it (a patty melt that definitely should have had some), and when he told them they gave him a free cookie and remade it on the spot.

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. When I came to the states, this is how I imagined a burger should taste like! Fries are also delicious, and it’s honestly well priced for the quality. You can either self-serve or order from the counter. 10/10

We stopped by this place for lunch yesterday. I ordered a BBQ bacon cheese burger. The burger was definitely good. With prices a bit high, I can't go too often but I will be back. Service and atmosphere was on point as well.

The burger is definitely very delicious, one of the best we've had in SF. The atmosphere is also warm and welcoming even though it's fast a fast food restaurant. It's posible to customize the burger ingredients as you like. Two things I would improve: - The onion was cut into to large pieces - The garlic fries had a lot of garlic poured over them (too much for my taste)

I had an amazing experience here! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious — everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You can really taste the care that goes into every dish. What truly stood out was the service. Our manager, EJ, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He checked in personally to see how we were doing and made us feel right at home. It’s rare these days to see that level of genuine hospitality, and it made the whole meal even better. If you’re looking for a place with great food, friendly staff, and a manager who truly cares about his guests, this is the spot! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Great customer service. Amazing food. 100% would go again. Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

amazing chicken sandwiches. love the service and the atmosphere. i feel very safe and sound and the food feels like home

Love that this place is open late. Went to Fisher this past weekend and stopped by after the show and got the Patty Melt and a tomato soup. The beef patty is juicy and flavorful that blends well with the melted cheese. Gooey, and decadent, definitely filled my late night drunk cravings! Dipped it in with the tomato soup made it even better. Service was fast even when it was late.

We went there while casually strolling around the union square area in San Francisco. And omg! Their sandwiches and burgers are absolutely delicious. We went here on a weekend . There was ample sitting space . The place looked very clean and the order didn't take too long . We parked our car in a parking garage before as parking could be an issue in San Francisco as with any other big city. I would highly recommend their steak and cheese . Can't wait to visit the place again

Great spot with fresh tasting burgers that actually open late into the night! Good prices for the amount of food. Lemonades were a bit too syrupy though Would come back again for the burgers

Had to stop by here since I'm craving for good burgers/sandwiches. This place is pretty cool. Has second story seating. There's really no service only calling food out for pick up. Everything is enclosed. Touch screens for ordering. I'll try the other locations. But definitely coming back to eat more of these burgers. It's soo good. Now check out what my party ordered

Stopped in for a quick lunch bite to go. This is a casual sandwich shop. Very minimal decor. White walls, concrete floor and a few tables and chairs. You could enter your order at the kiosk or directly with the cashier. I Ordered a tomato soup which was smooth and creamy and tasty. I also ordered the Italian Job which is a mushroom and cheese sandwich on a spicy garlic bread. Unfortunately the bread wasn't spicy nor garlic. I'd stop by again for the soup alone.

An impulsive late-night trip to pretty-ordinary fast food with good marketing, but it's open late in a late-night food desert, and it comes out pretty good past midnight. Ordering ahead is much easier than waiting, but there's ample seating and the food is exactly what you'd expect.

You seriously can't go wrong with anything at the melt. Food was piping hot, packed with flavor, prices were good.

Get ready for Owner Thanks....DG HOLDINGS. And response DeAnna Gage Sullivan. Thank You.

I've been here multiple times and everytime, I am greeted with the most helpful and patient employees! My personal favorites on the menu are the egg in a hole, sweet potato fries, and snickerdoodle shake!

Probs the fattest burger I've had, the buns were amazingly soft. Don't get me started on how perfect and crisp the fries were.

You can order at the counter or on a tablet. I ordered the crispy chicken with added avocado, sweet potato fries and the cheddar bacon ranch fries. I wished the cashier had asked me if I'd like lettuce and/or tomato as I didn't know that was an option and totally would have said yes. I would also have liked if the avocado was spread out more evenly in my burger. It was just an okay burger. The sweet potato fries were just okay too. Some of the fries were more cooked than others. As for the bacon ranch fries, that was my favorite item. It will crave anyone's munchies.

The food was top notch. The food was prepared quickly but not rushed. I forgot to ask for no Jalapeños. I am glad I did. I removed by hand it left a great flavor. I see why they had them in the first place. The music was not overly loaded and was nice. The TV had close captions and that was nice. The server was great and so friendly. I will go back for sure.

On a quest for the best milkshake, I saw that the Melt had a snickerdoodle shake. It's the first time I saw that flavor so I was excited to give it a try. The spot is open until 3 am so I came for a literal midnight snack. I ordered online for pick up and it was ready within 10-15 minutes. Upon entering, you'll see that there are stairs on the left where you can go for upstairs seating. There's a "separate" line for order pickup, but a lot of people just got in front when their in store order was ready, so it took a while to actually get the food. For food, the garlic parmesan fries were so good! Nice and crispy, perfectly seasoned and not a cheese overload. I love the Melt seasoning (the green) they sprinkle on! Mini mac was just alright -- the breadcrumbs (optional topping) made it worse because they felt/tasted stale. Otherwise just a normal tasting mac and cheese. For the highlight: the snickerdoodle shake was definitely yummy! The taste reminded me of something (aside from obviously snickerdoodle) but I couldn't put my finger on it. But whatever it is, it's good! Consistency was what I was looking for -- not too thick but also not too viscous. Overall had a good experience here and definitely one of the better options that exist for a late night bite.

Dom provides great customer service and the food is delicious. Receive my food in a timely manner

The food here was basically exactly what I was craving, some burgers that were tasty without being drip-dripping in grease, and some tasty fries. I also tried their melt, and it was excellent (the toast tastes way better than the burger buns). I overordered "for here" and was sitting upstairs with my friends, and the cashier/one of the people working was very friendly and helped bring my food up for me!

Late-Night Favorite - Delicious Burgers & Fries The Melt quickly became our go-to spot while we were in the area. They're open late, so my husband and I walked there around 10 PM every night, and it never disappointed. The hamburger was absolutely delicious--juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. We also loved the sweet potato fries--we asked for them without salt because they usually come heavily salted, and without it, they were perfect. Great late-night spot with quality food. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

Dom has great customer service! Service was quick and the food was great! Come and see for yourself!

Great service and food, thanks Marlon! The garlic chicken bacon mac was very tasty, perfect for a cheese lover and the chicken parm sandwich was very crispy with a great cheese pull.

This place is one of my favorite places for Mac n cheese and sandwiches. It's around the corner from the hotel I stay for work. The staff is always so friendly and very helpful. Every time I'm here for business, I come here. The place is pretty chill and they have registers where you can order something yourself as well. I've had many of the sandwiches and burgers, the grilled cheese with meat (there are different types of meat you can put in it) and they are all so delicious. Taste every flavor. My favorite is the regular 3 cheese Mac. I'm pretty simple and it's the best one, in my opinion. I'm from the south so these Mac n cheeses are done right. If you love burgers and Mac n cheese you'll love this place. The desserts are tasty as well. It's a must stop when I come downtown SFO.

I'm so happy the melt is over here, not only because they stay open late and the food is delicious but they have some of the best customer service I've encountered!! Teio & German were super friendly and made the line/checkout quick!

If the local hole in the wall burger joint is the partner I'd like to marry, the Melt is the one I can't stop (seeing) on the side. Every time, I try to convince myself it won't be great because it's a chain, a local chain, but still. But every time, they really do consistently deliver the "meltiest" burger you ever tried. Their meltburger has a mild (for a Korean American) kick to it with its jalapeño sauce. The cheese is super gooey and pulls from your teeth as you take a bite, given you that super satisfying mid-air string of cheese that you just can't help but slurp up. Ok, maybe that's a bit over the top in describing cheese - but it's true. It has a top notch fresh lemonade and the best garlics fries in a one mile radius (I think). It is best to eat fresh in house, and there's plenty of comfortable seating on the main floor and upstairs. Patrons tend to be a mix of locals, tourists, and door dashers. Ordering at the kiosk is super easy, and staff have always been friendly, helpful and accommodating. I can't quit you, the melt. And if I can't quit you, well I'm just gonna have to take a bite outta you.

Best Patty Melt I've had; it's all I order. It's a casual fast food place where you order on a screen and pick up your food when it's ready. Simple, but the food is good. I wish they had more locations throughout California.

Tried the melt burger and Mac daddy. Meltburger could've been saltier, it was not as flavorful as I expected. The Mac daddy was better, as it was more unique. It's very filling though. The location is a bit sketchy. I went on a Friday night and there were a few homeless people that walked in.

this lace was great and the service was amazing. the food was fantastic and I really recommend going here if you are in sf specifically this this lication was amazing.

Massive, incredible, delicious burgers! Flavorful crispy hot fries and smiling friendly service! Even being allergic to cheese I was able to enjoy The Melt!

I was actually very pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. The burger was super juicy and had the perfect toppings and pairings. I got the swiss & shroom meltburger and I loved the sharpness of the swiss and mushroooms matched with the crispy onions. The mac and cheese melt sandwich was also really good - perfectly cheesy, no artificial flavour.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting -- perfect for a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner. You can tell they really care about quality and customer satisfaction. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending The Melt to my friends and family. A must-try spot if you're looking for great comfort food done right!

Awful establishment. Stay far away. They will kick you out if someone around this area is harassing you. We pressed charges with the sf police but this establishment did nothing to keep us safe as customers. "Security" even taunted us for getting harassed. STAY FAR AWAY!!

We really enjoyed the food. It came out fast and there was a decent amount of options. We definitely over ordered because it all sounded amazing. The sodas are local soda brands so that ginger is like elevated! It hurt my nose but that's not a complaint, it's just really natural. Security at the front door.

Their food is very very very very very very good and they are open late. Arturo is the goat

The Melt is good for two things only: - late night and/ordesperate hunger. Although, considering there are a few Super Dupers within walking distance of the Melt, unless I'm lazy and craving a grilled cheese+soup, I'd always pick Super Duper over the Melt for a burger. Unfortunately, San Francisco doesn't have many late night options, and this is one of the only, so I've eaten more Melt than I like to admit. It hits the spot if you're desperate OR in a rush, but otherwise, I would skip. Service is fine and all, workers are doing their jobs with the tools they've been given. Can't ask for much more given they're paid poorly and work in this area of town, inevitably dealing with a lot of BS and no battle pay compensation. Grant them grace, they deserve it. Ambiance is... worth avoiding if you can, as this is not the neighborhood to be chillin' in if you have other options. I wouldn't eat-in past sunset; 7/10 times, I've had the Melt *delivered* if after dark. I've had a lot of the menu, as I've lived and/or worked near various locations ever since they opened in Stanford Shopping Center ~2011. The quality of the grilled cheese and soup hasn't changed since those days, but the melts with more meat/substance are super hit and miss.

The food was good. The burger was juicy and flavorful and the fries complement the burger. The service was good and fast. The ambiance was modern and well-lit.

German was super nice and attentive seemed like he really cared and enjoyed his time with us thank you again! :)

Been to both locations on Market St. Won't be going back to this one. While waiting on my order (which took forever), I watched the employees let the security guard go straight from sitting by the front door to going behind the counter, grab food & make his own milkshake. All done without him first at least washing his hands. He seemed to know exactly where to find things, so I'm sure it wasn't an isolated incident. On top of all that, my order was basically thrown in the bag & it looked like I got a half order of fries. No thanks.

taio was great at the front register he's awesome very charismatic and happy. I will definitely come again. The melt is great

The Melt has been my go to for awhile but now not anymore. Customers be wary. I found large pieces of cardboard in my order of a Mushroom Swiss Burger. I don't care about receiving refunds I care about quality. This is definitely not quality. How do you put TWO large pieces of cardboard inside a burger and give it to customers. I think I'll take my business somewhere else.

2nd time visiting. Staff has always been great. Burgers are good. Better than average but not great.

We LOVE the melt !!! The staff are amazing as always. We always enjoy coming here before any event at the Warfield. My boyfriend loves their mac & cheese.

I came here around 1pm on a Saturday for a quick bite to eat. The two highlights of this stop were the cookies and cream milkshake and the fries. The shake was sweet and cold and pretty good. The fries were hot, salty, and cooked just right. The burger looked a lot better than it tasted. It was extra greasy and cheesy but the meat wasn't seasoned at all so it kind of didn't really have a taste which was surprising. I'd return for the shake and fries and would try a melt next time.

Everything we tried on the menu was incredible. I usually only visit a local place once when are visiting a new city but this warranted a second visit. Service is surprisingly fast for the great quality. Ambiance is chill. Only downside is the area is sketch!!! :/

They got my order wrong. Then they said they would put the money back on my credit card, but they did not. And there's NO PARKING.

This review is on service only: My son is dorming in SF. I hoped to treat him to a delicious burger since I'm all the way in LA. But unfortunately, the melt did not prepare what I ordered. I ordered the bacon bbq melt, instead he was delivered a jalapeno burger. Though it looks okay, I cannot review the taste and quality since he can't eat jalapeños due to a food allergy. A little disappointed in service, just be aware when ordering online.

1st time here came to eat German hooked it up with good food service. Will definitely come and eat again!

Came in for late night dinner,German took mine and the rest of our orders I definitely recommend the place. This guy deserves a raise he was so welcoming and took care of us definitely will be coming back.

I took a weekend trip to San Fran and on the last day was looking for a nice burger to put something heavy on my stomach after drinking and before my flight. I found The Melt and was impressed. The burger was so juicy and cheesy. The fries were good as well. It wasn't busy at the time was in was pretty quiet. But I sat at the window and got to watch the downtown streets.

Great late night spot in San Francisco. The restaurant is really large with a ton of seating. The. Bbq cheeseburger and spicy chicken sandwich were so good and really hit the spot at 2am. The garlic Parmesan fries are a must try. I also tried the jalapeño Mac and cheese and it was delicious. The staff were super nice and even gave us a free shake for posting a review. I would highly recommend this spot.

Quick bite- a bit overpriced. Burgers and chicken sandwich tasted clean. Fries were fresh and hot!
