The Melting Pot - Fredericksburg

Unique experience but over-rated and over-priced

We came for our anniversary. We love the restaurant. We would have preferred to sit in a booth for more private seating, but we loved the food and service was great!
Highly recommend!!

Decided same day to book a reservation at the Melting Pot for an impromptu date night. We were greeted immediately and pleasantly seated by the host. Our server George was very attentive. We love going to the Melting Pot and enjoying the multiple courses offered and spending a couple hours out together. Will definitely visit again!

Very good experience, our waiter was great I am sorry that I do not remember his name for the credit that he deserves.

It was a very enjoyable evening. Good food and easy to have a quiet conversation. Great birthday spot.

Loved everything about it. Nice, cozy dinner. Great service.

My husband and I had an absolutely amazing time and service on our anniversary. Everyone was extremely professional and everything was brought to us in a timely manner. Will definitely be going back!

Meggin our waitress was delightful. She made the evening so much more enjoyable. She was helpful, attentive, and funny.

Wonderful restaurant for special occasions. The 4 course meal takes a while to complete providing for a great time spent together. Service is excellent. All staff is very attentive. Good choices for the main meal including vegetarian, etc. This was my 3rd time dining at this location of the Melting Pot. Will come back again!

First time here and the restaurant it self is beautiful and clean, the person who seated us was nice and checked in on us, and our server was very knowledgeable and gave us good recommendation as far as what to order. For the 4 course meal that they have it's perfect for a light conversation food with drinks, it can also be shared between 2-3 people and it was good. I was surprised that they won't seat you unless all your party are together but I'm sure there is a good reason for it, but overall the service and food was great.

Scores would have been higher if my check would have reflected the advertised discount that I requested in my reservation. I would suggest that if you have a discount for a certain date and time, that you don't hide it. If you embrace the discount; and even tell customers about it when they happen to be ordering it, there is a good chance that they might add on other items, including drinks or become more frequent customers. The drinks here are very/very good. It was disappointing to get charged the full price when you are expecting the discount with the waiter looking at you smiling knowing there is a discount. Not cool.

My first time trying . My daughter ,son-in-law and 2 children have been several times. Service was excellent and helpful with beginners. Food was excellent also and pricing was fair. My grandsons really enjoyed the experience. We will return. Wish I had taken photos

Melissa was amazing!! She knew the menu and had solid recommendations. I enjoyed the professionalism from both her and the other staff. I hadn't been there in years and it was my fiance's first time there, she was able to help us make the most of our dinner experience by breaking down the menu and helping us choose the best food for us. We will definitely be back!

Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. The place was busy and everyone was positive and on top of our needs before we knew we needed them. A great adventure close to home!

Every bite was exceptional, and the service matched!

We had a great time at The Melting Pot, as we always do! The food is amazing--even the salads, which feature house-made dressings. The four-course menu was delicious and more than enough food to get you full. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody!

Just can’t be disgruntled cooking you own meats served raw at the table. I love this place. The curry sauce is a treasure. The mojo pot is the best. I LOVE the alpine cheese with the brawn bran bread.

This was our first time here and we had an excellent time celebrating our 22nd Anniversary. We had the Date Night Romance Package and it was worth every penny. My wife loved every minute of the night.

Best location so far. Clean restaurant. Friendly manager. Courteous staff.

Great experience!! Our server was so attentive and knowledgeable. It was my husband’s first time at Melting Pot and it did not disappoint. The food was SO good! We had a great time! We will be back soon.

If you’re taking a date, The Romance Package is perfect! Tremendous value and what a memory you’ll be making! I can’t say enough nice things about this place and the manager and server (Michael) were extraordinary! 5 stars across the board!

We had a fabulous time. I think it was the best experience we've ever had in a restaurant.

Always wonderful!

My Grandkids love this place. I have been bringing them since they were very small. They are 13 & 15 now and still love it.

Just wish it were less expensive so we could come more often! Usually only make it about once a year.

It was amazing. I’ll be back

We had an amazing time at the Melting Pot! Our waitress Erica was AMAZING. She did an excellent job of explaining everything to us, as it was my first time dining there. We loved everything that we ate and would definitely go again for another special occasion!

My date and I loved the intimate setting. Our experience was fun and the food was delightful. Our server gave the right amount of instruction and attention. We are definitely making the drive back!

Lovely ambiance and food was excellent plus server was accommodating to my post-gastric sleeve issues and allowed my husband and I to split one of the fondue entrees.

Wonderful as always!

Delicious food. Great service, knowledgeable staff.

Reserved for our 28th Anniversary, forgot to mention in the reservation that we have a service dog, but the staff was very accommodating and comfortable with our service dog upon arrival and through dinner. Very enjoyable event!

My wife and I have been to this location numerous times and we will be back again. We likethe fun aspect of the food and we enjoy the flavors.

The food is delicious. The service is great! And I love the quiet atmosphere!

We celebrated a birthday with family and had a large table with many special requests. Our server was outstanding, she kept track of everyone and did it all with a smile. We love Melting Pot!

Service and food were superb! One of our favorite places for anniversary dinners! Owner stopped by to ensure everything was OK. Couldn't have been better!

We eat at The Melting Pot on special occasions and it is always worth it.

High price obviously goes to the experience and not so much for anything special for food flavor. Definitely not kid friendly! $22 for a "kids meal" is not cool.

The whole experience was lovely and Morgan was nice and a great server

We had the spinach & artichoke cheese, caesar salad, pick 3 entree (cajun filet, chicken, old by shrimp, and honey duck), and dark & dolce chocolate. It was all great. The filet was amazing!

We had a very nice time. Service was good. Food was good. Nothing was AMAZING, but it was very good.
