Between the grilled cheese sandwiches and board games, it only takes one meal at MELT’s location in Avondale to take us back to our childhood. More happy days are ahead with a brand-new second location in Hoover.

So what can we expect from the new location? Will they come up with an idea even more profound than mac and cheese egg rolls? Since an official opening date has yet to be announced, you’ll just have to follow @melt_hoover on Instagram to stay updated!
