Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"really good, highly recommend but only problem is that you can only order through door dash."
"Some sort of weird side hustle of Denny's. The meltdown is a restaurant within a restaurant? Or maybe renting a part of the kitchen? Either way you are ordering online and picking up from within the Denny's. The melty sandwich I got was actually pretty damn good. Not quite as cheesy as I was expecting it to be but the roast beef and grilled onions were on point. Nice and greasy, crispy bread too."
"Love going here to eat. 3 waitresses, that work here are amazing. I am a little sad that one, Tiffany, will be leaving. Her, Ashley and Jessica are the greatest. Depending on who works for Tiffany on Mondays depends on if we keep going every Monday or not. Food is always great."
"Omg had the hittin snooze melt for the first time (not my first choice) and it was absolutely delicious! The sweetness of the maple mixed with the meats is a combo you must try! Add the frys for a perfect meal."
"Chicken sandwich was real good. Love the fries and their "new" Mac and cheese is to die for. Good meal."
"The servers are amazing and so friendly and even though I cooked a whole Christmas dinner my family wanted something else late night and they were all there to welcome us and treat us like family EVEN on Christmas night. So Thank you too our AMAZING Denny's family!!! Much love"
"I give the food an 8 out of 10 .waitress was very nice and efficient."
"Update: I contacted Meltdown. Corp sent me an email right away acknowledging my email. I was told the local manager would be in touch. I called the manager after he left me an email. He was very understanding and polite. He offered me a $20 gift certificate to use at The Meltdown. I plan to use it as soon as I receive it. The Meltdown is a great place. I order from The Meltdown several times a month. The food is normally good. Most times it's cold. Not sure is they let it sit till a driver is found. Todays meal, 7/13. was terrible. 5 not so good-looking onion rings in a plastic container too big for the onion rings. Probably why they were cold. The sandwich did not have the usual brown paper covering it. The sandwich was not well made. Less meat and no cheese. I am not a happy camper on this one."
