OK, we finally made it to Melt. A combination of weekday and timing made for no wait time for a table and negligible wait time for the chow. Jeff had a Devo menu, I had Bow Wow Wow and I think it was rigged, but my Dad had Man O'War, whoever they are.

I opted for the BBQ Chicken sammie, which was outstanding once more. We all split a piece of cheesecake and that was good, as well. We'll have to see if that Cleveland Heights location solves the crowd issue in Lakewood.
