    It’s our favorite place to eat with our teenage boys. Food is consistently perfect! Never disappoints. The cucumber appetizer is unbelievable. I love the crunchy spicy tuna appetizer as well. And the cream cheese corn is delicious.

    We arrived and asked if there were any meat mountains left, and were told yes. When we ordered a few minutes later, we were told they were no longer available. Very disappointing.

    Absolutely love the experience and the food is delicious! I do think it’s a little pricey for what you get (sometimes) but it’s definitely worth it anyways. Delicious food and wonderful service, so much fun! I can’t recommend this please enough!

    We went here for restaurant week and the value ($36) was extremely good. It was a LOT of food for the money and our server was very attentive and helpful. I just didn't enjoy the food or the experience. I felt like it was really hard to tell when the meats were cooked, especially the chicken. The vegetables took our entire meal to heat up enough to eat. I have been to Melting Pot before and found this more... risky?... and not nearly as enjoyable. The tables are also so close together that you might as well be at a communal table. We could hear everything being said on both sides of us. I think with more patience, this would be an interesting adventure, but for me, I think I prefer not to have to cook my own food over a grill.
