The Melt

The Melt is where bold flavor meets melty indulgence. We’re redefining comfort food, smashing, chopping, and smothering 100% Wagyu-Angus beef in aged cheddar to create the World’s Meltiest Burger. Every bite is crave-worthy, handcrafted, and completely free from artificial ingredients or additives. It’s comfort without compromise.

We take pride in everything we do. From juicy burgers to golden grilled melts, crispy buttermilk-brined chicken, creamy mac & cheese and thick hand-spun shakes – our food is obsessively crafted with premium ingredients and signature touches.

This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.
