First time ordering from Twisted Meltz. My husband and I got the Michael Keaton and the Arsenio Hall both sandwiches way exceeded our expectations! The meat was high quality not all fatty both were very flavorful. We had them delivered to our house which was Super fast! We will definitely be ordering from there on a regular basis...what a great addition to downtown Kent.

Such a creative menu! This is a place that serves burgers on grilled cheese so it's clearly not the most health conscious place, but a lot of fun.

This is really a great place in Kent! The other places that have been in the same building haven't done so well so I hope this place breaks the streak. Great sandwiches which are really inventive and all sound great. I had the one with pork which I believe is a special so I'm not sure if it will be on the menu forever but it was so good. Plenty of vegetarian options and even vegan options Their fries are really great and the staff was very nice and helpful with making our choices and the best condiments to put on them. Really a nice place with a good vibe that is definitely worth finding a parking spot. The ice cream place that is attached was also great and worth it if you're stomach isn't too full!

I like this place, all of the sandwiches are named after different local celebrities and they are very good. Not a bad place to stop by when walking around downtown. Warning though, the city just put in meters everywhere which sucks, but whatever.

Lots of creative choices and amazing prices (about $10 for a combo) for the quality and quantity of food you get. I go about once a week and have always had something different and it's always been wonderful. With fried onion rings and fried macaroni and cheese available on a sandwich, this CLEARLY isn't health food, nor does it claim to be. The guys who work in the shop are all really personable and make you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in. I'm so glad this place is in Kent!

The menu honors famous Kent State alumni, a perfect fit for the college community, and the creative eats are even better than they sound! Everyone in the family, from the 10 year old to the grandparents found something good to eat. I went with the James Harrison and loved every bite. The service was fantastic as well.

A great addition to downtown Kent! I like that the names of the sandwiches are all Kent State alumni. A lot of people think they are ripping off Melt, but I honestly think this place is better just from a service standpoint and the fact that it's Kent specific. The food is really good. The portions are HUGE. I usually take half of my sandwich home and eat it later. There are a few vegetarian options, but I wish there were more. My one complaint is that there isn't a lot of seating. Most of their seating is in the garage patio, which in the winter gets really cold. You also have to cut through the ice cream shop next door to get to it. From the outside, it looks like it is to-go only from the lack of tables. Overall, if I'm really hungry and in downtown, my friends and I like to go here. I have to be in the area though. I wouldn't come out of my way to go here.

I've had the pleasure of visiting Twisted Melts several times since they opened. Today was the first time I have placed a delivery order. The food was great as usual, although the fries were slightly soggy but edible. The order confirmation said it would take approximately 70 mins for delivery (I ordered at noon) but my order actually arrived within 50 minutes. That's sti

What a great new add on to all the new things popping up in Kent (well this place was new to me when I visited)! I came here with my family not knowing what to expect but we had heard good things. This establishment is small and not good for big groups but if you order to go and sit somewhere outside that would work perfectly. We were lucky enough to get a table inside but it's a tight fit. The sandwiches were awesome! They were everything we were expecting. I think it's pretty much a staple now in NEO to have a grilled cheese/sandwich place in every city. I can't wait to come back! Note: If you check in on your yelp app you can get 15% off your first order :)

I was expecting a sit down sandwich shop. Instead it's a walk up order counter, only has two tables inside but there are more available outside, and you have to get a key to use the outside public restrooms. But the sandwiches are FANTASTIC! In my group we ordered Drew Carey, Josh Cribbs, Don King, and Dolph Ziggler. And all of them got a "Wow!"

Jennifer T.
This place is awesome! If your familiar w/Melts in Lakewood, well, I'm not a fan of that place, but this place, helz yeah! They have at least 20 different sandwiches to choose from (give yourself time to read through them! So hard to choose!!)Each is given a celebrity name. They really pay attention to the taste of the sandwich and don't just throw a bunch of crap together. Each sandwich had the perfect balance of taste! Not to cheesy even when there is a couple different cheeses on a sandwich. We had the Josh Cribs, Thurman Munson & Arsenio Hall. ALL awesome! The tomato basil soup is good too. It has a peppery kick. Looking forward to coming back to try other sandwiches!!

The Twisted Meltz is a unique restaurant that offers many melt specialty sandwiches. The food is quite good, simple, and in someways traditional, keeping to the American style of restaurant without going to crazy. My only complaint is that I don't care about the special names for the menu items. I think it can be annoying to have to read each one and try to remember what you want along with a friend. I wish it was kept simple with simple sandwich names.

I've been to Twisted Meltz twice now and was very pleased each time. Their melts (or metlz?) consist of thick bread toasted perfectly to encapsulate their delicious innards. It seems as though they use high quality ingredients and I can personally recommend the "Thurman Munson" and the "Arsenio Hall" and their french fries or o-rings with sriracha ketchup are pretty awesome as well. I was underwhelmed the first time I tried their tomato soup which made me sad since there is no better accompaniment to a great grilled cheese. However, I plan to give it another chance - they might have changed the soup since then. The space is somewhat small,, maybe a couple tables and a bar top, but you can order sandwiches to go or find a seat in the patio area (which is enclosed in chilly weather) adjacent to their shop. Service here is always A+, it's really a friendly place!

Elvis S.
Awesome! I ordered three items and am very happy. The first was the Al Douglas grilled cheese with added scrambled eggs and bacon. The second item was the Ray Wise double w/o mayo or tomato. Last but not least I ordered a pint of cookie dough ice cream and had that pint arrived with a spoon I would have given this place five stars. The sandwiches are fantastic and the ice cream is very tasty. The delivery was a 3rd party service; I was told 45/50 mins and the timing was spot on. The delivery girl went down to my hotel's front desk and had spoon delivered to me - so even the delivery service was great. I am very happy with the customer service, the quality of the food products, and the fact that it was delivered to my hotel - The Kent University Hotel - was icing on the cake. I recommend this place - I believe you won't be disappointed! My first time in Kent and I found a local favorite - if I travel back to Kent I will come back for more! Rock on.

If you're a fan of deliciously unhealthy sandwiches, you'll love Twisted Meltz. After trying the double James Harrison, I'm going to have a hard time finding a more flavorful and filling sandwich. Burgers, bacon, and onion rings complement each other unsurprisingly well. It's fairly heavy, so not something you'd want to order every day, but it makes for the perfect cheat meal. The battered fries and fried pickles, although a bit soft because it was a takeout order, were still on par with the sandwiches, and both were reasonably priced. For the not-so-health-conscious, I'd definitely recommend Twisted Meltz for classic melt sandwiches with a creative twist.

This place is my favorite place in Kent! I've eaten here several times and tried something new each time, and I've been impressed each time. Food is always hot and tastes fresh. Probably would say the best sandwich I've had so far was the BBQ burger one, James Harrison. The place is family owned and are friendly every time I go in there. I wish they could expand to have more seating! Only saying good for groups no due to size inside.

You have to stop in if you are visiting Kent. Enjoyed the Michael Keaton with a side of the Pretzel cheese bites. Serve was nice and quick. Inside is small but they have outdoor seating.

Good sandwiches, enjoyable casual patio (well, garage with an open door). They claim to offer delivery but its off and on, depends on who is working that night. Wish they had more beverage options, they just have fountain drinks.

Good stuff. Of course on the fatty side of life. If you are ready to just indulge then this is a must go place. They have quite a variety... No processed food. Juice and delicious.

Michelle P.
Sandwiches and service were awesome!! I went on June 1st around 1:00pm. Service was prompt and the cashier, who was training someone, was fantastic. I ordered the Wayne Dawson, which is a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, muenster and cheddar cheese. I got it on a pretzel bun, with a side of fries and a drink. Prices are reasonable. My meal was about $9.00 and it arrived to my table within 10 minutes. This was seriously the best sandwich I've had and they have a wide range of options, including vegetarian options. I would recommend Twisted Meltz to everyone!!

Hubby loves this place! The food tastes delicious so who cares if it's not very healthy?

Yvone R.
This place reminds me of a cheaper version of Melt Bar & Grill, but it is just as tasty! This location is a small hole in the wall, literally, but they are friendly and fairly quick. Their fries are very different from what I'm used too, but good. I ordered the Wayne Dawson, it was wonderful in flavor, but messy, like a sloppy joe. I can't give them 5 stars because I wish they would have had better napkins than those dinky things that come from the holder and I would have liked a utensil of some sort. A fork or spoon would have been nice as my sandwich kept falling apart.

Lele T.
Holy crap this stuff is good!!! I ordered the Don King (single) and WOW absolutely no regrets! Will admit i didnt think the actually "bread" of the sandwiches were each grilled cheese sandwiches hahaha, pretty delicious anyway though! Freaking deelish but be prepared for the calorie intake!

The service is great as is the food. My only complaint is that the tomato basil soup was just too spicy for my taste. Everything else was a great as the last time we ate here

Love this place - the sandwiches are inventive and there is something for everyone (unlike the other grilled cheese places that try too hard and make gross weird sandwiches)! The sandwiches are HUGE and inexpensive. AND they deliver. New favorite place.

This place is delicious also offers the Belly app to earn points to earn free items which are always great. We first found this place just walking around during winter waiting for it to open, just looking at the ingredients made me salivate. We went for our first date and it was freaking delicious and we just keep coming back. Love their ice cream too best place everrrr!!!

Chad M.
The best around. Took my wife and son for a grilled cheese. The owner greeted us with a smile and staff was on the ball. Good tastes very fresh and it's clear they take pride in their work. I had the Lou Holtz. Mac and cheese was awesome. Can't wait to go back to try more.

Very good sandwiches. It's like the Melt in Cleveland but much better priced. The sweet potato fries are amazing.

I have tried four different sandwiches so far and none of them have disappointed. Everyone who has helped me has been super nice, too. One time, they took a little longer than usual. I wasn't even upset, but they still gave me a free sandwich for the wait! This place is just as good as Melt with cheaper prices!

This is a great sandwich place. Interesting combinations (I got the Joe Walsh, it was fantastic) and good ingredients. The sourdough bread is delicious. I like the fries too. Will definitely be back.

i love chingy dirango! It's really good. I like animals. Police coppers scare me. I just want a full review and free ice cream. It's really cold outside at the end of March. That's quite unusual. Remember that episode of Breaking Bad, "Ozymandius"? What a great episode. Almost as great as Twisted Meltz. Thanks.

Rebecca M.
Words can't describe how much I love this place. Whether it's one of their signature sandwiches or you create your own, you can't go wrong here. I usually get either the Chrissy Hynde or the Dick Goddard depending on my hunger level that day. They always make everything to order, and a ridiculously fast. They offer dine in, carry out, or delivery. Usually I carry out and by the time I hang up the phone, put my shoes on and drive over, it's done. I live close, but that's a huge feat. Staff is always friendly, I've met the owner a few times and she seems to really like her business. (They own the Ashby's ice cream place next door too!) Nice eating area, it's cool to sit outside and watch people in Acorn Alley while you enjoy your sandwich!

Eric L.
What a ripoff. Melt isn't the only gourmet grilled cheese place in the world, but it's a Northeast Ohio staple, and a nationally recognized leader in great, original takes on comfort food. Twisted Meltz knocks off their menu, method for naming their sandwiches, and even their name. What they don't pull off is the real Melt's great personality, decor, service, and vegetarian options. Atmosphere is sorely lacking, service is unfriendly, no beer, and no vegan options. Not a surprise that a company willing to be so unoriginal is also so clueless.

Kelli R.
We've ordered (delivery) a few times now and am super happy. I always try to get something different, but my kids swear by the Al Douglas (7yr old super picky!) and the Lou Holtz. On top of that they have the best tomato soup I think I've ever had from a restaurant. My only real complaint is that they have no on-line order option but that's just me being spoiled.

Shannon M.
This place has been the talk of the town recently, so I gave it a shot. I ordered the Michael Keaton -- roast beef, roasted red peppers, etc -- and it was delicious! Even the fries were really good, and I'm not much of a French fry person. The place was hopping when I arrived, so I waited for a little bit for my food, but the wait was worth it! It seems like the type of place that could get busy around typical meal times, so be mindful of that before coming. The popularity is well-earned, though! Next time, I'll have to save room for the ice cream parlor right next door. :)

Colette W.
I write this review while eating the Wayne Dawson sandwich because it's fresh in my mind how amazing this place is! Every sandwich I've ordered here is delicious. My favorite one is the Al Douglas (grilled cheese). They definitely know what combinations work when they put their sandwiches together. Service is quick and friendly in general. Unlike some of the other small businesses in Acorn Alley that have struggled and closed down, I think this place will be around for a long time.

Lou V.
As a grilled cheese lover, the five stars drew me in. I should hold have left immediately as the place smelled like a grease pit. And so did the sandwiches. One bite from each was all we could handle. Walked out and deposited them in the trash can at the end of Acorn Alley. Never again. I would have given it no stars if I could.

Kent, Ohio is an undiscovered gem. The downtown has been revitalized with a mix of locally owned shops and small chains, and there is some great food to be eaten. I stumbled into Twisted Meltz, which is off the street and hidden in Acorn Alley, and tried the Joe Walsh, which is fried turkey, bacon, avocado, jalapeno and a couple kinds of cheeses. Think bread expertly toasted, and a great balance of flavors with a bit of a kick. The fried pickles are good, too, lightly fried and tasty. Highly recommended.

Great sandwiches, I got one of their signature sandwich - DRI ARCHER, it was just perfect. Nice favors and I would highly recommend the battered fries.

I like this place a lot. It gives big portions and for a reasonable price. I like how it's not a huge inside place to eat and it's in the shape of a diner. There is so much to chose from on the menu it takes a while to look at everything! I'll definitely come back!

I really liked their grilled cheese and fries. The grilled cheese wasn't a big greasy mess like at some other grilled cheese restaurants. Also the fries were hot and fresh. Place was very small and very crowded though. I will still go back again!

Food was great, but the Lou Holtz was nowhere near as juicy as one would think. The Drew Carey, however paid fitting homage to Mr. Carey himself, as the sandwich was almost as spicy as his "bod."

God's gift to this earth. It's tricky to find because it's back off the street in an alley way between buildings (don't worry. It's safe) but the search was totally worth it. My grilled cheese had fried mac and cheese, bacon, ranch, and two cheeses. I about died and went to heaven. Couldn't stop eating.

Samantha R.
Like a more affordable and more accessible Melt bar and grill. The sandwiches are creatively made and amazingly delicious. The (battered!) fries are also quite good. The staff is swift and friendly and you can just walk right next door for a tasty ice cream dessert. I'm never waiting 1+ hour to get a table in lakewood ever again, I'm a twisted meltz convert. Can't wait to see what inventive specials you come up with :D (Your take on the turkey dinner was a homerun!)

Absolutely delicious! The sandwich are huge with awesome ingredients, fries are big and crispy, and you have to have the pretzel bites. The service is also very safe and courteous with a nice big dinning area.

The sandwiches are fantastic and the ice cream is very tasty. The delivery was a 3rd party service; I was told 45/50 mins and the timing was spot on. The delivery girl went down to my hotel's front desk and had spoon delivered to me - so even the delivery service was great. I am very happy with the customer service, the quality of the food products, and the fact that it was delivered to my hotel - The Kent University Hotel - was icing on the cake. I recommend this place - I believe you won't be disappointed! My first time in Kent and I found a local favorite - if I travel back to Kent I will come back for more! Rock on.

If you're a fan of deliciously unhealthy sandwiches, you'll love Twisted Meltz. After trying the double James Harrison, I'm going to have a hard time finding a more flavorful and filling sandwich. Burgers, bacon, and onion rings complement each other unsurprisingly well. It's fairly heavy, so not something you'd want to order every day, but it makes for the perfect cheat meal. The battered fries and fried pickles, although a bit soft because it was a takeout order, were still on par with the sandwiches, and both were reasonably priced. For the not-so-health-conscious, I'd definitely recommend Twisted Meltz for classic melt sandwiches with a creative twist.

Found our new favorite ice cream shop! Many fun flavors, reasonable prices, generous portions, and good hard ice cream- no runny mess.

This place is my favorite place in Kent! I've eaten here several times and tried something new each time, and I've been impressed each time. Food is always hot and tastes fresh. Probably would say the best sandwich I've had so far was the BBQ burger one, James Harrison. The place is family owned and are friendly every time I go in there. I wish they could expand to have more seating! Only saying good for groups no due to size inside.

You have to stop in if you are visiting Kent. Enjoyed the Michael Keaton with a side of the Pretzel cheese bites. Serve was nice and quick. Inside is small but they have outdoor seating.

Good sandwiches, enjoyable casual patio (well, garage with an open door). They claim to offer delivery but its off and on, depends on who is working that night. Wish they had more beverage options, they just have fountain drinks.

Good stuff. Of course on the fatty side of life. If you are ready to just indulge then this is a must go place. They have quite a variety... No processed food. Juice and delicious.

Sandwiches and service were awesome!! I went on June 1st around 1:00pm. Service was prompt and the cashier, who was training someone, was fantastic. I ordered the Wayne Dawson, which is a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, muenster and cheddar cheese. I got it on a pretzel bun, with a side of fries and a drink. Prices are reasonable. My meal was about $9.00 and it arrived to my table within 10 minutes. This was seriously the best sandwich I've had and they have a wide range of options, including vegetarian options. I would recommend Twisted Meltz to everyone!!

Hubby loves this place! The food tastes delicious so who cares if it's not very healthy?

This place reminds me of a cheaper version of Melt Bar & Grill, but it is just as tasty! This location is a small hole in the wall, literally, but they are friendly and fairly quick. Their fries are very different from what I'm used too, but good. I ordered the Wayne Dawson, it was wonderful in flavor, but messy, like a sloppy joe. I can't give them 5 stars because I wish they would have had better napkins than those dinky things that come from the holder and I would have liked a utensil of some sort. A fork or spoon would have been nice as my sandwich kept falling apart.

Holy crap this stuff is good!!! I ordered the Don King (single) and WOW absolutely no regrets! Will admit i didnt think the actually "bread" of the sandwiches were each grilled cheese sandwiches hahaha, pretty delicious anyway though! Freaking deelish but be prepared for the calorie intake!
(5)Susan P.
The service is great as is the food. My only complaint is that the tomato basil soup was just too spicy for my taste. Everything else was a great as the last time we ate here
(5)Dionna D. R.
Love this place - the sandwiches are inventive and there is something for everyone (unlike the other grilled cheese places that try too hard and make gross weird sandwiches)! The sandwiches are HUGE and inexpensive. AND they deliver. New favorite place.

This place is delicious also offers the Belly app to earn points to earn free items which are always great. We first found this place just walking around during winter waiting for it to open, just looking at the ingredients made me salivate. We went for our first date and it was freaking delicious and we just keep coming back. Love their ice cream too best place everrrr!!!
(5)Chad M.
The best around. Took my wife and son for a grilled cheese. The owner greeted us with a smile and staff was on the ball. Good tastes very fresh and it's clear they take pride in their work. I had the Lou Holtz. Mac and cheese was awesome. Can't wait to go back to try more.
(5)Aly R.
Very good sandwiches. It's like the Melt in Cleveland but much better priced. The sweet potato fries are amazing.
(5)Jason L.
I have tried four different sandwiches so far and none of them have disappointed. Everyone who has helped me has been super nice, too. One time, they took a little longer than usual. I wasn't even upset, but they still gave me a free sandwich for the wait! This place is just as good as Melt with cheaper prices!
(5)Glenn G.
This is a great sandwich place. Interesting combinations (I got the Joe Walsh, it was fantastic) and good ingredients. The sourdough bread is delicious. I like the fries too. Will definitely be back.
(4)James H.
i love chingy dirango! It's really good. I like animals. Police coppers scare me. I just want a full review and free ice cream. It's really cold outside at the end of March. That's quite unusual. Remember that episode of Breaking Bad, "Ozymandius"? What a great episode. Almost as great as Twisted Meltz. Thanks.

Words can't describe how much I love this place. Whether it's one of their signature sandwiches or you create your own, you can't go wrong here. I usually get either the Chrissy Hynde or the Dick Goddard depending on my hunger level that day. They always make everything to order, and a ridiculously fast. They offer dine in, carry out, or delivery. Usually I carry out and by the time I hang up the phone, put my shoes on and drive over, it's done. I live close, but that's a huge feat. Staff is always friendly, I've met the owner a few times and she seems to really like her business. (They own the Ashby's ice cream place next door too!) Nice eating area, it's cool to sit outside and watch people in Acorn Alley while you enjoy your sandwich!

What a ripoff. Melt isn't the only gourmet grilled cheese place in the world, but it's a Northeast Ohio staple, and a nationally recognized leader in great, original takes on comfort food. Twisted Meltz knocks off their menu, method for naming their sandwiches, and even their name. What they don't pull off is the real Melt's great personality, decor, service, and vegetarian options. Atmosphere is sorely lacking, service is unfriendly, no beer, and no vegan options. Not a surprise that a company willing to be so unoriginal is also so clueless.

Unique sandwiches! Taste and prices were reasonable but not low fat. Yes, we will be back.
(4)Kelli R.
We've ordered (delivery) a few times now and am super happy. I always try to get something different, but my kids swear by the Al Douglas (7yr old super picky!) and the Lou Holtz. On top of that they have the best tomato soup I think I've ever had from a restaurant. My only real complaint is that they have no on-line order option but that's just me being spoiled.
(5)Shannon M.
This place has been the talk of the town recently, so I gave it a shot. I ordered the Michael Keaton -- roast beef, roasted red peppers, etc -- and it was delicious! Even the fries were really good, and I'm not much of a French fry person. The place was hopping when I arrived, so I waited for a little bit for my food, but the wait was worth it! It seems like the type of place that could get busy around typical meal times, so be mindful of that before coming. The popularity is well-earned, though! Next time, I'll have to save room for the ice cream parlor right next door. :)

I write this review while eating the Wayne Dawson sandwich because it's fresh in my mind how amazing this place is! Every sandwich I've ordered here is delicious. My favorite one is the Al Douglas (grilled cheese). They definitely know what combinations work when they put their sandwiches together. Service is quick and friendly in general. Unlike some of the other small businesses in Acorn Alley that have struggled and closed down, I think this place will be around for a long time.
(5)Lou V.
As a grilled cheese lover, the five stars drew me in. I should hold have left immediately as the place smelled like a grease pit. And so did the sandwiches. One bite from each was all we could handle. Walked out and deposited them in the trash can at the end of Acorn Alley. Never again. I would have given it no stars if I could.
(1)Raven H.
The prices were low but so was the service they did not seemed engaged.They were not friendly but also they were not mean.The place was dirty and unfashionable.I would only recommend this place to college students.
(3)Perry S.
This a New and upcoming Hot spot .. Every sandwich is named after a famous Kent State Alumni, and has a sandwich for any craving. Oh and they even offer Vegan cheese..

Kent, Ohio is an undiscovered gem. The downtown has been revitalized with a mix of locally owned shops and small chains, and there is some great food to be eaten. I stumbled into Twisted Meltz, which is off the street and hidden in Acorn Alley, and tried the Joe Walsh, which is fried turkey, bacon, avocado, jalapeno and a couple kinds of cheeses. Think bread expertly toasted, and a great balance of flavors with a bit of a kick. The fried pickles are good, too, lightly fried and tasty. Highly recommended.
(5)Sandeep M.
Great sandwiches, I got one of their signature sandwich - DRI ARCHER, it was just perfect. Nice favors and I would highly recommend the battered fries.
(4)Jacob K.
I like this place a lot. It gives big portions and for a reasonable price. I like how it's not a huge inside place to eat and it's in the shape of a diner. There is so much to chose from on the menu it takes a while to look at everything! I'll definitely come back!
(5)Lolitta P.
I really liked their grilled cheese and fries. The grilled cheese wasn't a big greasy mess like at some other grilled cheese restaurants. Also the fries were hot and fresh. Place was very small and very crowded though. I will still go back again!
(4)Matt M.
Food was great, but the Lou Holtz was nowhere near as juicy as one would think. The Drew Carey, however paid fitting homage to Mr. Carey himself, as the sandwich was almost as spicy as his "bod."
(5)Lara W.
Ate the Jack Lambert tonight and loved it. Also enjoyed a delicious cup of Broccoli cheddar soup. Service was with a smile and a laugh. The employees know the menu really well. Great location in Acorn Alley. Will be back again soon!
(5)Laurie W.
Best grilled cheese you'll ever eat. Fast,courteous service. Excellent local business!!!!!! If you can still eat afterwards their ice cream is delicious as well.
(5)Laura T.
God's gift to this earth. It's tricky to find because it's back off the street in an alley way between buildings (don't worry. It's safe) but the search was totally worth it. My grilled cheese had fried mac and cheese, bacon, ranch, and two cheeses. I about died and went to heaven. Couldn't stop eating.
(5)Samantha R.
Like a more affordable and more accessible Melt bar and grill. The sandwiches are creatively made and amazingly delicious. The (battered!) fries are also quite good. The staff is swift and friendly and you can just walk right next door for a tasty ice cream dessert. I'm never waiting 1+ hour to get a table in lakewood ever again, I'm a twisted meltz convert. Can't wait to see what inventive specials you come up with :D (Your take on the turkey dinner was a homerun!)
(5)Oscar R.
This place is great I got the josh cribbs and my girlfriend got the arseniol hall. The food came out fast and the service was good. this place is equally as good as the place in Lakewood that gets all the press and you don't have the long wait.
(5)Brendon R.
One of the best places to eat in Kent. Awesome food, creative food choices, and super friendly staff. Highly recommended!
(5)Sara A.
Absolutely delicious! The sandwich are huge with awesome ingredients, fries are big and crispy, and you have to have the pretzel bites. The service is also very safe and courteous with a nice big dinning area.
