I really enjoyed the service and the food. The fried catfish, mac and cheese were really good. My homegirl got the black eye peas and she said that were really good as well. Drinks are high however that's expected for the area it is in. Dennis my server was really knowledgeable about the menu and what to try.

I took my wife out to celebrate our one-month wedding anniversary, and the experience was fantastic. The server and management went above and beyond, providing exceptional service throughout the evening and making our celebration feel even more special. The food was incredible, as always. Melting Pot is one of my wife’s favorite spots, so we’ve visited many locations across different states during our travels, but I can honestly say this location stands out with the best service and food we’ve had, hands down.

My husband and I are supportive of the Chef and how his food is amazing. We had the most amazing time! Our waitress was absolutely amazing, professional and attentive. She also gave me a great suggestion on cocktails and she was right! It was a beautiful time we had, low level noise and a vibe. We had the option of sitting outside and it was beautiful. The food….AMAZING!!!! I have been wanting to try the Braised Beef Meatloaf and it did not disappoint! My hubby has the trout which was great, and the 3 Cheess Mac and Cheese and Grits were surprisingly great! We also had sweet potatoes. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food is filled with love and will leave you full!
