I was home and didn’t plan on going back out. I got a pop up that the Melt Machine was a few minutes away. I placed an order and left my house for a grilled cheese and tots! LOVE the Melt Machine!!!!

The sandwich and salad combination is a good value: whole sandwich and large salad. It was also very tasty.

For a thin crust pizza it wasn't bad. The pepperoni was a bit greasy. All in all we were decently satisfied.

The bao buns are amazing and so are the pork belly tacos. Me and my coworkers look forward to this truck more than any of the others!

Ease of ordering, the staff manning the truck was so nice and walked through some allergies with us, which was super appreciated! Also thought the food was exceptional and hope they come back to our area again!

Everything was great but no one knew they could get a cookie, the sign for the type of pizza's and the cookie was not very visible. The team did a great job, food was hot and delicious (salad very good). We had some happy campers.
