Review: Melt Shop

Those of you who know anything about me know that I love grilled cheese and mac & cheese, and am on a lifelong quest to have the best of both. I also love tator tots. So when the Melt Shop chain set up shop in DC, I was more than a bit excited. 

I got their classic melt (grilled cheese) with bacon. It wasn't amazing, but the homemade melt sauce/cheese sauce was pretty excellently flavored.  The sandwich as a whole lacked the gooey cohesion I expect from a perfect grilled cheese.

Their tots come either plain (with this Parmesan-parsley sprinkle) or topped with the same cheese sauce. In hindsight, I wish I'd gone the cheesy  route.

Ultimately, if you're feeling up to good old comfort food, it's probably worth the trek down to L Street for a cheap and tasty meal.
