This was our first time at this location. Due to lighter traffic than expected, we arrived early but were seated immediately. The service was excellent and attentive. Great food and fun place to eat...

This is my very favorite restaurant, we visit a Melting Pot in whatever state we are in for my birthday. This birthday we are in Houston, Texas. The service was awesome. We are all trying to get use to the current Coronavirus restrictions, but they...made it seemless. Other than less tables being used and the waiter wearing a mask, we would have thought it was any normal day. My boyfriend called ahead of time and had them decorate the table. The table had rose pedals on it, a rose, chocolates (white chocolates for me since I don't like regular chocolate - I know I'm weird. LOL), and a teddy bear. The hostess took our picture and framed it, to add to our collection of yearly Melting Pot birthdays. Yes, this is all an extra charge, but a great way to make a birthday special for your loved one. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. The food, as usual, was delicious. For those that have not been to a fondue restaurant before - it isn't all just cheese. You pick a 4 course meal. You start with the cheese and veggies/bread (my favorite is the Wisconsin cheese), then move to the salad, then to the main course of meats and veggies (may favorite is the mojo - you pick your meats, which they cut into pieces and you boil them in the broth you picked. Remember that you can ask for more veggies, I do this as soon as they bring the broth so I can put them all in the pot since they take the longest to cook), and you finish with desert of chocolate, fruit, and treats. You can choose from milk, dark, or white chocolates. I don't like anything but white chocolate, so I always get white chocolate with Amaretto. Yum! Just remember to dress nice, expect to be there for about 2 hours, and expect a bill for over $100 for two people... Alcoholic drinks will make the ticket even more expensive. A heavy ticket, but so worth the experience and food. Bring your best partner and enjoy!More

This is a great place for a special celebration. Our waiter, Michael, was attentive and humorous. We love the classic cheese fondue, the bourgeoisie (oil) style cooking and the lovely chocolate and peanut butter fondue with extra brownies. The Melting Pot creates a great experience,...so give yourself enough time to enjoy it to the fullest. Worth the drive.More

8 of us went to eat and from the hostess to the bartenders to the servers we had great service. The food was served with a good explanation of what and how to eat the food. The dessert was exceptional.

We had been at this place several time. We visited recently to celebrate my birthday. I had reserved via open table. We were welcoming by unsmiling and unfriendly hostess. However, when we were seated, we had a totally different experience. Our waiter Armonie made sure...to give us the best experience any customer would appreciate. We loved the food, it was our first time trying the iron grill, and we totally agreed to get this cooking style anytime we visit the melting pot. Highly recommended.More

Went to The Melting Pot for our anniversary. Marc was our server and was absolutely amazing. Dinner itself was good as usual, but the service really out the dinner over the top.

I've never been a Melting Pot fan but it's where our grandson wanted to celebrate his departure for college in a couple of weeks. They now offer a grilling option. So, instead of dipping your protein in hot oil one can grill it instead. A...couple of us chose the steak lovers meal. It was delicious. The service was excellent. Nice atmosphere for groups or couples. Thus, I'll be pleased to return there after my initial resistance. BTW, he'll be attending the University of Delaware.More

txjboy- Thank you for dining with us and trying the grilling option. Happy to hear you are a new fan. Go Blue Hens - There’s a Melting Pot not to far from campus. The owners kid both went UD and had a great experience.

Glad you came in to lasso some good fondue again. We will pass on the compliment for the bartender. Hope you will dip in again soon. Thank you for sharing the five bubble review.

This is by far my favorite restaurant to go and celebrate special occasions. The service is always great. The food is incredibly tasty. You can come and spend 3 hours there having dinner and no one will bother you or pressure you to leave. We...come every year for our anniversary and many times for birthdays.More

Its a good expierance but not sold on the entrees. Might be better to try them on the grill vs the pot but not a fan of the meat boiled in the pot along with the veggies. The cheese fondue is good. The salad good....The chocolate fondue best part of the meal. I'm giving 3 stars based on not liking the entreeMore
