Guy Fieri has spoken! We made the list! We REALLY could have used some Melt Bar and Grilled goodness this winter in Cleveland! Stay Tuned...

One bite proves why these stacked sandwiches get a thumbs-up from the Mayor of Flavortown.

Hello Friends. One year ago today we announced the closing of Melt Bar and Grilled. We miss you all very much. Being a small part of the Cleveland culinary landscape for 18 years was truly amazing.
Not sure when or how... but we do plan to return at some point in the (near) future. Want to see it happen or help? Send us a message... would love to hear from you.
Thank you everyone for the continued support!
Wishing you all a great 2026.

In the meantime, stay warm, be kind to each other, and know how much we have appreciated each and every one of you that has supported us over the last 18 years.
