full vegan menu! - Edit
So exciting to see a full vegan menu here! Tons of options, most of which appear to be vegan versions of their regular menu. We had the buffalo tofu and Wake N Bacon and both were AMAZING. Bustling place, bit loud, but nice outdoor seating. Good service although food was a bit slow to arrive.

Ask for the Vegan Menu! - Edit
I was able to get a tofu sandwich that mimicked a cod sandwich (the half sandwich is plenty!). The amount of fries is a meal in itself.
Read morePros: Number of vegan options, No charge to substitute vegan, You won’t leave hungry
Cons: Prices are up there, Fries were cold , Menu layout was hard to navigate

Grilled Cheese is something I definitely miss and this place hits the spot! Highly recommend this restaurant. They have several tried and true recipes, and plenty new and innovative testers on a regular basis to try out.

No compromises vegan choices - Edit
Best vegan cheeses I've had in any restaurant. This is a place vegans can go with meat eaters and everyone will have an excellent meal. The vegan options are plentiful. I have eaten there multiple times and have never been disappointed.

Expensive, but a good treat! - Edit
I’ve been a semi regular at melt for several years. They have a nice variety of vegan sandwiches and sides to fulfill even the biggest appetite. I love getting the tofu wings and sharing them, then getting the vegan Parma.

Many options - Edit
Many options for vegans. I had the eggplant sandwich which was huge! My husband had the chili and said it was very good. Helpful that you can customize things.

Love the tofu wings - Edit
I love that they have a wide variety of vegan options in terms of sandwiches, salads, fries, and wings. However, I think that the food is too greasy. I usually end up getting the tofu wings, which taste delicious!

Cons: Too much grease

Tofu wings were great - Edit
I got a sandwich that was just ok feel like I could have made it at home and maybe with less grease. The tofu wings were delicious though I definitely really enjoyed those. The menu is huge almost a full page of vegan options, make sure you ask for the vegan menu so you don't have to hunt through the regular menu for options.

great vegan options - Edit
Love that they have so many vegan options for the sandwiches. Sandwiches are big and not on the healthy side.

More options than most restaurants - Edit
My favorite is the chorizo potato. Their fries are thick and flavorful. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal here. The tofu buffalo wings are great, too, if you have room for them. My trick is to go with a friend and split a sandwich so we can get the wings, too. It's nice that they have half sandwich orders if you don't have someone to split with.
Read moreTheir salads are good, too, but none are vegan without modifications.
Pros: Delicious, Good fries, Interesting meat substitutes
Cons: Not healthy, definitely an indulgence

Best Grilled Vegan Sandwich Ever! - Edit
I was told to come here by one of my co worker. I was amazed by the online menu because you can't really get a vegan sandwich anywhere (atleast not from where I'm from) and so I decided to give it a try! OMG! It was great! I forgot the name of the sandwich but it was amazing!!!! I will be going back here before I have to leave. I want to try out their vegan hamburgers. Only thing I didn't like was the fries were cold. But everything else was great!
Read morePros: cheese , seitan for replacement of ham
Cons: cold fries

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.

Go buy a can of lard... - Edit
...And eat it, you can get the same experience as eating at Melt without having to set foot in the place. The food is terrible, everything is loaded with grease. I felt like I needed a shower when I was done eating here.
Read moreService was ok, no problem there. This place is just so over hyped and the food is so underwhelming be prepared to be disappointed.
They have their fanboys, who also all probably think Carl's Jr. is the cat's meow. Stay away.
Pros: It didn't kill me..., Exiting the facility, Didn't need skin moisturizer that day

So many vegan options!!!! - Edit
Nearly all items on the menu appear to be able to be made vegan. VERY vegan friendly! Servers are all well trained on vegan items and what can and cannot be made vegan. This place is awesome!!! A separate menu lists the MANY vegan protein options as well as veggies which can be added to your sandwich. Tofu "wings" with vegan ranch, two vegan soups and so many other things. I would have given this place give stars if I could have.
Read morePros: very knowledgable staff, many vegan options, delicious huge portions
Cons: very popular, so you may have to wait for a table,
