Vegan American food

I was surprised to learn that Melt has so many vegan options. The menu clearly labels whether a food item can be made vegan. A LOT of the items could be made vegan. We got the classic mac n cheese and bbq chicken sandwich. Both were quite good. I do wish the cheese sauce was thicker for the mac n cheese. The sandwich was very good. Overall, a nice spot if you’re in the mood for American food. It is a bit on the expensive side.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Large portions

Cons: Expensive

Amazing menu, better staff!!!

Amazing staff and great food for both vegan (myself) and non-vegan folk. Very knowledgeable and friendly, clean, and great vibes!

Pros: Almost every item can be made vegan. , Staff knew that some sugar is not vegan!, The food was tastier than it looked, which was 🔥

Cons: No dedicated vegan fryer.

hidden gem!

Before I even tasted the food I was met with nothing but kindness from the staff. When I was presented with the menu I was stoked to see the variety that they had for vegan and vegetarian food. The waitress helped me build a vegan melt and asked questions and answered mine. Amazing staff!!

The food:
The order- Kindergarten Combo, with vegan mac & cheese & kettle chips, add garlic mushrooms and vegan bacon to the melt
Absolutely delightful!!! The melt was to die for, and left me so full even though I only had a half! The vegan cheddar is absolutely wonderful on the melt. It was a very comforting meal! The mac and cheese was really good hot, but as it cooled it lost some flavor and I feel like it could be cheesier.

I loved eating here and will definitely be back!!

Pros: flexible , amazing vegan and vegetarian variety, friendly atmosphere, great music

Cons: closes early (6pm), on the pricier side (but so worth it)

Vegan Comfort Food

Melt Bar & Grilled is a staple of NE Ohio. The menu is laid out in such a way that it is easy to find which sandwiches can be made vegan/vegetarian at a glance. They use Daiya cheese (mozzarella and cheddar) on their sandwiches. They also offer tofu wings for those not in the mood for a fancy grilled cheese. Melt also offers a substantial beer menu. I spend more time looking at that than the food menu. Always a good time. Never disappointed.

Pros: Vegan Options, Large Beer Menu, Big Portions

Cons: None

Melt : A Cleveland Staple!

Melt is one of my favorite local restaurants and I was even more excited when I became vegan and they had so many options. They have two types of vegan cheese which they will substitute on any sandwich. They also have menu items marked to let you know which items can be made vegan. It seems like more and more they are looking for ways to be more vegan accommodating. Last week, they said they had substituted the sauce on Smokey Russian making it completely vegan, so vegans can easily order the sandwich. One of my favorite dishes when I want a lighter meal is their Awesome Noodle #1 Salad which is completely vegan. They also have an entire page of their menu which tells you the substitutions for vegan proteins which include tofu, seitan, tofu bacon, vegan chorizo, vegan meatloaf, vegan chicken, and veggie burger. Lastly, they automatically use vegan butter on all sandwiches meaning if you are vegan or not, you don't have to worry.

Pros: Vegan Options, Friendly/Knowledgable Staff
