I will say that I was pleased they had Sierra Nevada Kellerweis on tap. It's a good wheat beer (available year 'round) but hard to find.

Nope I spent a few years in Texas.  Deer Park, Dickinson and Hurst. Fifth and seventh grade.  My family again relocated to Texas in about 73, for a number of years, I stayed here but visited Dallas periodically.

Settled in NYC until the youngest developed a respiratory issue that the NYC air was aggravating.

The cure? Move to Cleveland...

True story...

Well.....my wife..being from Wisconsin... fancies herself as a grilled cheese sandwich connoisseur....and she didn't care much about their grilled cheese....which, after all is supposed to be their signature dish.  I would have never thought of them much as being a place for a beer fancier like you. 

Only reason we didn't hit them often back when I used to play McCarthy's Ale House in Lakewood was that the Buckeye Beer Engine was right across the street.

We just haven't gone to the one in Fairlawn because of loyalty to the Winking Lizard and And Ray's place.

The thing about melt is that when it started it was a little bit ahead of its time. Up in Lakewood those big fat cheese sandwiches we're pretty damn good and they had a huge selection of beer. Somebody that's not a beer connoisseur probably wouldn't be all that impressed. These days there are plenty of places who have caught up with and surpassed their draft selection.

You don't see too many children (boys)  give the name Otto any more.   Cool.

I agree....my wife and I went into the one in Montrose  and were totally underwhelmed.

Whataburger is one of my favorites. So is Colter's BBQ. I realize they are changed but still they're good.

I have always like Culver's when I have been in like Wisconsin, Illinois..etc....those areas.   There are none here in NEOhio.

I hate to say it, but Melt falls in this category for me. Its not bad, but for the hype I heard about it for years, I'm a little underwhelmed.

Why?

Just for shites and giggles.....which is the only reason any of us ever log onto this forum.

I don't know why you would do whatever,  but the  state you posted had  Kessler with the best completion pct. of all those listed....but also an 0-8 record.  I was simply comparing his winning record to that of Otto G.

And now Dayton. It's OK if you like a lot of grease and cholesterol...   The portions are huge- one sandwich is easily enough for two to share, unless you have a lumberjack appetite.  Ate several times at the one in Independence... 

I can't believe I'm writing this - but Melt's tofu wings are really, really good. 

@dutch-oven said:

Yeah, Melt Bar and Grilled is a Cleveland restaurant that is branching out in NE Ohio, even one down in Columbus.

Melt? Is that the Grilled Cheese thing?

I like my "melt" with a patti in it... Whataburger style... so fine after a nite of imbibing.

In n Out was pretty weak IMO... but y'all did give us Jack.

I freakin' forgot about Del Taco.

Born and raised in SoCal and can not stand In N Out....... now Del Taco on the other hand is a totally different story.

Like many things it's a combo of knowing something exists, but not being able to get it... in a word it's mystique.

Other examples... Coors and In n Out Burger... both were much better before I tried them.
