I got rope-a-doped. I should have read the other reviews and realized this was a Denny's. Same low-tier food with all the terrible service, but more expensive. Ghost kitchens should be illegal as it's purely false advertising.

It's a Denny's. It took about 45 minutes for them to make 1 sandwich!!! It said it would be ready at 11:03, the order status tracker said "ready" so I drove there and arrived at 11:05. I go in and waited in the store for 35 minutes.

For those saying this is Denny's, so just order from them: Yes, it's Denny's but ordering from Denny's is not the same. These sandwiches are not on the Denny's menu. With that being said, they're overpriced, not very tasty,, can't get your order right, and slow. My delivery driver was waiting there for 45 minutes last night....for 2 sandwiches. When I finally received them, sure enough both orders were wrong. They came with fries instead of the onion rings I ordered. As far as the sandwiches, I got both as the Hot Mess Melt, which is beef, caramelized onions, and white cheddar. Both sandwiches had barely any cheese or beef, but had a ridiculous amount of caramelized onions. Combine that with our missing union rings and I have the worst $40 I've ever spent in my life. This is my second tim

Terrible food, it's essentially just denny's, because it's inside of a denny's and cooked in a denny's kitchen. The inside of this denny's looks like it's where happiness go to die.

We ordered take out from The Meltdown. Our Order: (all combos) The Giddy Up, The Bacon Me Crazy, The Hittin' Snooze, The Feeling Groovy, and The Treat Yourself dessert sandwich. The Good: The fries were excellent as were the onion rings. The brisket burnt ends were well cooked with a beautiful pink interior and crispy, smokey exterior. Everything was tasty. The Bad: Portions were very disappointing and not as advertised. There was literally one piece of wilted spinach on the Feelin' Groovy. The brisket sandwich had only 4 tiny pieces of brisket. There were 5 small onion rings and maybe 10 fries in the sides. Nobody in our family felt impressed or happy with their order and if we had made melts at home, they probably would have tasted better.
