The whole meal was delicious! I had the brisket and my daughter had the ham and cheese. Both were excellent! Even the tater tots. We will frequent them again!

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!!!!

Order was ready on time and the combination of the sandwich with the side of tots was delicious and a bargain.
