Reviews for The Melt in Oakland, CA
Name of the business is just what it is a melt burger juicy none dry almost old fashion like burger, eat it fast or the bread... would melt, which I do not prefer, but next time I?ll eat it faster. Pickle was a little on the salty side , however if you hadsome beers for drinks it would do justice, it?s also open late I went near lunch time Read more
Solid burgers as usual. An added plus is they are open late. Great place to hang out at the edge of Oakland town.
Really good burger at a decent price. The staff was very friendly and the decor and atmosphere was pretty cool; the now, very... common roll up garage door for indoor/outdoor experience. I got a double spicy burger and it delivered on the spicy. Theydidn't skimp on the jalapenos. The patties were big enough that I probably shouldn't even have gotten a double. The buns weresoft and fresh, and there was an abundance of cheese. Fries were excellent as well (garlic parmesan). Do it. Read more
TL;DR - Fantastic Ingredients, could be great with a few tweaks I ordered online directly from the website, which was fast,... convenient, and relatively straightforward, the exception being the box to indicate whether or not to include a pickle spear;the option says ?NO Pickle Spear? and comes checked by default, which led me to believe that I should uncheck the box if IWANTED a pickle spear. Anyway, I unchecked that box, so I didn?t get one. Lesson learned! I got my MeltBurger with the defaultoptions, but added raw onion. I liked that crispy onions are available at no additional charge, which I?ll get next time. Theburger was pretty high quality, including the bun, which I was glad to see is a potato bun and not brioche. The beef is listedas Angus and Wagyu, but while the patty was well-seasoned on the outside, the salt hadn?t penetrated the entire patty, which wasa letdown because the beefiness that did come through was excellent and only could have been enhanced by greater saltinessthroughout. While there was a crust on the outside of the patty, the fact that the patty was so large and thick that the brownedbits kind of got lost in the under-seasoned middle. That said, the bun was pretty hefty, so it needs a substantial patty tocreate a reasonable balance. The cheese (in this case, cheddar) was very well melted, but I did wonder why the default isn?tAmerican, which is created with meltiness in mind. This cheddar was melty in the way that American is, which makes me wonder ifit?s been processed in some way (cheddar releases fat when it melts as the emulsion breaks, not the case here), as did itsdistinctly mild flavor. The fries were fantastic; crisp, light, and salty and I could easily have eaten a bag of them. The onlydownside was that it would have been nice for the serving to be a bit more generous, but I suppose that?s better for thewaistline :) All in all, a really great entry into the downtown Oakland burger scene. Prices were reasonable, c Read more

Pretty good burgers at decent prices. If you like VERY juicy burgers, they?ve got you covered. For me, it made the buns soggy,... which I?m not a fan of. Garlic parmesan fries were great. I will definitely be coming back to try more items! Read more
