“Why 3 stars? Because bread, melted cheese and meat is always a good time, but there's a catch. --- --- ---The way I ended up getting food from The Meltdown was definitely odd. I was actually at the pool with my son, and we were up at the top of the stairs, waiting to go down the waterslide. The lifeguard up there was eating something that looked and smelled great. I asked him where it was from and he said it was from a new place called The Meltdown on 1488. I could not believe I had never heard of it because I pay a lot of attention to new restaurants in the area. I had already planned on ordering something via DoorDash, which is a rarity for me, but my wife was out of town and I didn't feel like dragging my son anywhere. But I couldn't get over how appealing that food looked, so I went home and ordered from here. I ordered a Classic Meltdown combo. It's basically like a BBQ grilled cheese sandwich. And it was everything I hoped it would be. I did also order the one dessert item on the menu, which was like a strawberry shortcake in the form of a sandwich. It was not good. Definitely do not recommend it, but the Classic Meltdown was a big win.I tried looking up the place on social media but couldn't find any info and was still shocked that I had no idea this place existed until like one hour earlier. So odd.A couple of days later, I am going to write this review and couldn't remember the name of the dessert (Treatin' Myself Melt) as I am uploading the photo. I go back to DoorDash to see the menu, and it is there that I discover that The Meltdown is actually a part of Denny's, and was invented to essentially do exactly what I just fell victim to: trick people into not thinking it's Denny's. Had I actually tried to drive to the restaurant, which I would have done 99% of the time, I would have discovered this tomfoolery. But you got me, Denny's. Well played.I'll give them their props: The Classic Meltdown was a solid 4.5 stars. The fries were okay: 3-stars. The Treatin Myself was maybe 1.5 star, if I'm being generous. Sounds like a 3-star cumulative rating to me.“
