    Very nice experience. We had the 4 course meal and it was more than 2 people can eat. The cheese and chocolate are to die for. Cooking the entree is easy and rivals any steak house in taste. Service was top notch from Zach who was on top of everything.

    Tori the manager was nothing less than awesome! She assisted me with planning my boyfriends birthday dinner effortlessly! I was stressed because I changed venues last minute and she made the transition so seamless! Zach -our waiter was amazing. He was patient and attentive and explained everything we had questions with! The food was so good and we enjoyed every minute of our time at The Melting Pot in Towson, MD. I wish I could literally give Tori a gift for her being so sweet and supportive with my reservation details. I’m going to see if I can find her management team because she is truly an asset to their team! Her level of professionalism should be shouted to anyone that will listen and can learn from her. It should be showed on a much larger scale for everyone to see!

    I had forgotten about this gem. We had a wonderful meal after getting a last minute reservation on Saturday night. The service was excellent and the food was good. I particularly appreciated the layout of the menu -- it was a lot of information that was laid out very clearly so decisions were easily made. Drinks were delicious. For dessert we got the bananas foster fondue which ended up being a little too sweet for our liking. We'll go with one of the chocolate fondues next time.

    The Melting Pot - TowsonResponded on July 25, 2023

    Jenny, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We're thrilled that you enjoyed the excellent service and the good food. It's heartening to hear that you found the menu layout clear and helpful in making decisions. We're sorry to hear that the bananas foster fondue turned out to be a bit too sweet . Rest assured, we have a variety of delicious chocolate fondues to choose from, and we can't wait to welcome you back to try them out. Best Wishes, John Melting Pot Towson

    Once again a good experience but service felt rushed. We used to be able to kick back, relax and have an experience but now because of the time limits courses are being rushed out to the table without a chance to let the food settle.

    Somehow charged $381.45 for four adults, two children and a baby. This was before tip. Unreal. With tip, we paid $486.50. No dinner is worth that amount. Had problems with the heat on our tables. The meats stopped heating halfway thru. Waiter was fine, but very overly involved. I know they have to be to a point, but this was over the top. Wasn’t our first time there, but probably our last.

    Went to the Melting Pot Towson for my fifth anniversary. Overall the experience was fantastic. The staff all made us feel so special, especially our server, Anna. One of the managers came out to personally address allergy concerns. Other tables were a bit loud at first but quieted down. The food is so delicious! We definitely plan to visit again soon!

    This was our 2nd visit to the MP. The 1st time we were underwhelmed. Food was just ok and the price for what was served was WAY overpriced. This time however, was wonderful. Food was amazing and fresh. We were still a bit sticker shocked but still, for a 4 course meal that left us satisfied and stuffed with food to take home, we were more than satisfied. The service was phenomenal and attentive. Will definitely return again for our next celebration! The changes from 4 years ago (our last visit) are a 180 degrees improvement! The only thing I would say, is when spending $15 for a birthday celebration, the bag of candies in a glass jar that's not reusable because the top is punched to hold the tiny star balloon, is a little cheap imo. I suppose springing for a regular sized piece of cake should be an option too. The card is a nice touch, but $15 is a bit steep for what you get.
