When it comes to classic comfort foods, nothing compares to the grilled cheese sandwich. Not only does this special sandwich take us back to our childhood days, but it’s also perfect to eat any time of the year. Of all the places in Alabama that serve this nostalgic sandwich, there’s no place that does it quite like MELT, which is located in the Avondale area of Birmingham.
MELT offers a modern twist on a classic comfort food - the grilled cheese sandwich. And even though their menu is quite simple, there's something on it for everyone.
MELT's concept is simple. "Eat Local. Drink Local. Live Local. Be Local." MELT practices this concept by using as many local products in their delicious creations as possible. Also, approximately 80% of their furnishings were made locally in Alabama.
The restaurant isn't the only place to enjoy these cheesy creations. Matilda, the MELT Food Truck, can be seen all over Birmingham serving up delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. Talk about convenience!
Surprisingly, bacon isn't enough for some people. Many grilled cheese lovers have to pack their sandwiches full of meat, as seen here in MELT's famous "Meatloaf Melt."
..."Banana Stand" are an absolute must try. In case you're wondering, the "Banana Stand" consists of Nutella and bananas that have been sandwiched between two slices of Texas Toast and topped with powdered sugar and honey. Yum!
