I was home and didn’t plan on going back out. I got a pop up that the Melt Machine was a few minutes away. I placed an order and left my house for a grilled cheese and tots! LOVE the Melt Machine!!!!

The sandwich and salad combination is a good value: whole sandwich and large salad. It was also very tasty.

The food was delicious. For the price it would have been nice to have an egg roll in the plate. But it was really good.

I would have preferred the fries would have been separated to later add the rest. But that's just my preference. The spring rolls and sauce were fire!! So good

For a thin crust pizza it wasn't bad. The pepperoni was a bit greasy. All in all we were decently satisfied.

Food is always great! They just need to work on their online ordering. Quesadilla doesn't have meat options and 1 taco shows for $13 but 3 tacos plus rice and beans is just a couple dollars more!

The fact that they ran out of an ingredient and offered us anything else on the menu for no extra charge .. that shows great service to the Boeing community that can't wait for them to come around.. thank you
