Jessica Fontenot: Great service! We had Dave-O and we loved him. The food is amazing as well. Let them know you are gluten free and they will take care of you! There's GF bread and GF brownies & pound cake.
KeepR RUnusual: Potatoes take a really long time to cook. Throw them right in at the start & pull them out last.
Luciana Misura: I always go to the Melting Pot on Monday nights with my girlfriends and we order the Ladies Night Out special, which is half the price ($24 per person) for 2 cheese fondues, 2 meat ones and 2 chocolat
