Melt Bar and Grilled was a restaurant in Ohio that specialized in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and other comfort food favorites.[1] The restaurant was founded in 2006 in Lakewood, Ohio by Matt Fish, who owned and operated the restaurants as the chief executive officer.[2]

Melt enjoyed notoriety both locally and nationally. Matt Fish's creations and the popular Cleveland restaurant were featured in USA Today,[3] Esquire Magazine,[4] as one of the best sandwiches in America; and in National Culinary Review.[5]

In June 2024, Melt Bar and Grilled filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, blaming growing economic issues and store closures as part of the decision. The company also faces several lawsuits for unpaid rent at its restaurants. The company claimed it would continue to operate during the proceedings.[6] However, the last location closed by January 1, 2025.[7]
