Never disappointed! I am a repeat customer and am glad to see they have expanded the menu today I had the Dagwood and it was delicious! Added photos from last time as well. There is also a park next door to walk around in or even picnic, love this place!Vegetarian options: Sandwiches
The only reason this place isn't a 5star is because there's no indoor seating, other wise amazing sandwiches and sides....

Had a roast beef, horseradish and grilled cheese sandwich. I was a little skeptical about it but they recommended it. I was pleasantly surprised and it was a great sandwich. The only downside is there is only outdoor seating.Vegetarian options: Grilled CheeseDietary restrictions: All sandwiches made to orderWheelchair accessibility: Ground floor

The tomato soup was disappointingly watery. It almost taste like they put cumin in it, and it definitely should have been creamier. HOWEVER, the service was top-notch! Very good service. The sandwiches were delicious. The tatertots could have used some salt, pepper, and less oil but were decent. Nice area. Nice parking lot. Nice people.Parking: It's small but it has few spotsKid-friendliness: Kids love food

It was a dark and stormy day as I drove up to American Melts. Tucked away in a small parking lot in Kenilworth, American Melts looks like a tiny house. Walk a few steps up and you're at a counter where you can order your food. The menu is written on boards in front and off to the side of the counter. This may not sound impressive, but even on a cold, rainy day there were customers swooping in to grab their sandwiches and go. There *is* an outdoor seating area off to the side, but on this day it was not set up (for obvious reasons). This is not an elegant spot, but it does the job. I ordered two sandwiches and then went back into my car to wait. I checked in about ten minutes later and I only had to wait about another five before I had my melts in my hands. The two folks who helped me out were very nice and efficient. No issues with service at all! So here's what I got, and keep in mind I ate them after reheating in the oven about an hour later (having half of each sandwich and saving the rest for another day): SHROOM (Mozzarella, Provolone, Roasted Red Pepper, Balsamic Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, Whole Grain) I *love* mushrooms so having an entire sandwich with mushrooms as the foundation was a no brainer for me. I loved this sandwich. The mushrooms and cheese gave it a deep, savory flavor. It was a bit Umami punch and I loved it! Even after reheating the bread was a nice combination of crisp on the top levels but still chewy on the inside. Best of all, the sandwich held together really nicely. SOMERSET (Mozzarella,Herb Grilled Chicken, Pesto, Organic Greens, Country White) I have had a sandwich with similar ingredients at another spot I love called &grain in Garwood so I thought I'd give this one a try. I am happy to say that while it reminded me of the &grain version of this sandwich, it stood nicely on its own thanks to the texture of the bread and the melted cheese. Of the two sandwiches, this one is definitely more robust and satisfying overall but I loved the flavors of both! My first (but certainly not last) experience at American Melts was fantastic and I look forward to going back!

I've driven passed here for over 10 years and have never made the effort to stop. After a high recommendation from a friend and an empty stomach I finally decided to stop by. I had the pastrami sandwich and the bread was beautiful crisp, juicy pastrami and enough crunch from the coleslaw to tie it all perfectly together. The ratio of toppings was just right!

If you are looking for a great place to get amazing grilled cheese you have to make the trip. This place has been around for 10 years now so that should say something. Don't let the location deter you... This gem is a diamond in the rough. Try and find a better grilled cheese for the price, good luck. This is a must stop if you are in the area. Or better yet make the trip. It's worth it...Parking: Gravel parking

This is THE SPOT! I built my own grilled cheese and every flavor just melted seamlessly together to create easily the greatest grilled cheese I've ever eaten! That have a ton of pre-set options as well if you wanna play it safe and the older gentleman working the shop was wonderful! 1000/10, will definitely come back to try more options!!
