Melt Huntsville

Melt Huntsville is a restaurant in Huntsville, Alabama, serving a menu built around a modern twist on classic comfort food. The kitchen turns out grilled cheese sandwiches, melts and burgers, with options including the Patty Melt on Texas toast, the Cuban with pulled pork and ham, the Flyin Hawaiian on a pretzel roll, and the Chicken Bacon Ranch. Starters range from fried pickles with roasted jalapeno ranch and food truck nachos to mac 'n egg rolls and honey baked goat cheese, alongside salads such as the Classic Wedge, Strawberry Fields and Buffalo Chicken Salad. Vegetarians and vegans are accommodated with an assortment of vegan cheeses, fresh vegetables and gluten free bread. Melt Huntsville holds a rating of 4.70 from the customers who have reviewed it.

The concept began with a food truck before expanding into a restaurant. The first storefront opened in Avondale, chosen for its tree-lined streets and the neighborhood's growing restaurant and bar scene, and the building was developed with Dungan Nequette architects. Local artists sourced and reclaimed wood and steel from around Alabama, and roughly 80 percent of the furnishings, from the walls and booths to the doors and bar, are Alabama local. The approach favors using local products as much as possible.

Melt Huntsville sits on Jefferson Street North, steps from the Huntsville Post Office and about a tenth of a mile from Washington Park. Holmes Avenue Northwest runs nearby, as do the Kaffeeklatsch monument and the Drake State Technical College Extension, both roughly a tenth of a mile away.

For Huntsville diners, Melt Huntsville pairs a comfort-food menu with a room largely built from reclaimed Alabama materials, and the 4.70 rating reflects how customers have received it.
