The Melting Pot - Houston

Long story short: This is a fantastic date spot

Came here for our 6-month anniversary and it was a great decision.

We chose the Big Night Out Dinner for Two with the:
Cheese: Classic Alpine
Salad: Bacon & Blue + Caesar
Big Night Out meat selection + Coq Au Vin
And for dessert: the Yin & Yang

Everything was amazing, and the dessert was a great finale. If you're wondering if it's enough food, we both left extremely full!

Even if you're not celebrating a special occasion, I'd highly recommend this place for a date night or a general get together with friends.

Very dank spot :)

So GROSS! A bug was in my drink! Very disappointed with this location!
Never again smh.

I'm not a huge fan of dinner here just seems over priced however I have been for dessert on multiple occasions

We celebrated our first anniversary together here - it being my boyfriend's first time ever eating at a Melting Pot and fondue in general. He loved it! I've been here many, many times before and found everything to be delicious as usual. It's best to make a reservation ahead of time due to limited availability.

The dining room is a very romantic setting with each table being a private booth - even more private now with plexiglass up to the ceiling in light of COVID (which I was very pleased to see). The menu is set up for a four-course dining experience where you start with a cheese fondue that you dip breads, apples and veggies into. The second course is a salad. The third is the entree where they bring you uncooked meats and vegetables to cook on your own in a pot of either boiling broth or hot oil. The final course is chocolate fondue that comes with all types of fruits and cakes to dip in.

We had the Quattro Formaggio cheese fondue which is still delicious as ever (two of my other favorites are the Spinach Artichoke and the Loaded Baked Potato). They apparently no longer have the Strawberry Caprese salad (my favorite) so we chose the California salad instead. We're both vegetarians now so we shared the Vegetarian entree and were very pleased with the available items on it! Two different pastas, vegetarian "meatballs" and different vegetables than what are already provided with each meal. We finished the meal with my absolute favorite chocolate fondue - S'mores

As a longtime Melting Pot diner, I will say that I was a bit disappointed to learn that they no longer make the cheese fondue at the table in front of you anymore. They send it out pre-made from the back. Maybe because of COVID? Maybe not. It took away a bit of the experience but not enough for us to never return.

Also - I'm pretty sure they still have Happy Hour prices for their cheese/chocolate fondues ONLY as well as select beverages in the bar area on weekdays.

Came here to celebrate an anniversary and it was such an unique experience! I've never experienced a concept like this and it was really cool! We ordered the $94 combo for two. It included a cheese pot, 2 salads, 2 entrees, and a dessert. Tip: I believe all of the dippers are refillable!

For the cheese, we got the loaded baked potato and that was really good! Highly recommend it. The portions are a bit small, but it was perfect for the amount of dippers for 2. The salads were a nice breather and palette refresher for the main entree!

For the meat, we decided to go with the mojo broth. It was interesting but very flavorful. It had a strong spice flavor and was really tangy. If you're not fond of tangy/sour flavors, I would probably steer clear of this. However, this broth was super flavorful and really penetrated the meat. The shrimp and the teriyaki sirloin were probably my favorite proteins.

The dessert we chose was the banana foster. Yum!! They added rum and cinnamon to it and it was quite a show. Really cool:) It was a nice way to end the night.

They were super courteous and gave us a box of their chocolate covered strawberries on the house. It really tied the whole experience together. Overall, I recommend this place for anyone wanting to splurge or celebrate a special night. My parter and I walked away busting at the seams, we were sooo full haha. They gave so much food. The meat was good; however, the cheese and chocolate was exceptional. I would probably come here just to order that!

I was expecting to leave full and satisfied, BUT that wasn't the case. We got the "steak lovers" and "land and sea" entree with the Coq Au Vin broth  (server recommended) and I thought it was okay. They served us 6 different types of sauces but not even that helped the taste of the food.
Proportions were small (pictured); I truly don't think it's worth paying $23-26 for the amount you get.

What a great Experience. The service was fantastic. We ordered the Bigger Night out Dinner for two with Loaded Baked Potato cheese, Which was fantastic. The Bacon and Bleu salad was delicious and the one most preferred at the table. The California Salad ran a close second. I saw complaints on the Meat section in the reviews. BTW they refer to this as your protein section. I don't think the meat is the issue. I think it is the cooking style that you choose. We chose the Coq Au Vin, which cooked the meats well but took away from the flavor of the seafood portions. I think next time I would go with a Cooking style with not as strong of a base flavor. The dessert we chose was the Flaming Turtle which did not disappoint. Served with fruit, Rice Crispy treats, and other goodies but what stole the show was something surprising. Waffle Bites, Dip them in and enjoy.

Awesome experience for wedding anniversary! Wait staff went out of their way to make it special for us! Definitely recommend visiting! Plenty of food as well!

Have been here multiple times and never had a problem, in fact it was a 10/10 experience with our first waitress but this last time i've come my waiter was super rude and tried to make us feel small with every question we asked, our last waitress was so helpful and just automatically boxed all our leftovers for us, gave us great service had a great attitude and with our waiter today we feel like its bothersome for us to be here. His name is Andrey.
had to bag all of our own things as well, which we've never had to do that here before.

We had the friend three course special for 29 dollars- had a blast with 6 girlfriends. Our favorite drinks were the berry Mojito and a special whisky/bourbon drink.  The bartender had flair which I appreciated with a big tip. The fondue was plentiful and we were stuffed and left food on the table so if we had a guy who ate more they would have been satisfied as well. The big booths all had plastic dividers and we enjoyed the privacy to gab and chat rather loudly without hearing the neighboring table either. The convection burners were safe fir reaching and extra screwers and forks were provided to eliminate double dipping.
Fondue choices were plentiful - for appetizers we had the 5 cheese and a Swiss cheese option that had nutmeg in it which were both delicious and the dippers plate had lots of choices and even included Prosciutto as a dipper; salads menu had 5 choices and I loved the blue cheese/bacon; and for dessert, we loved the peanut butter/chocolate and the s'more options for dessert dipping but now want to try the others. For the dessert dipper plate it was loaded with brownies, chocolate chip cookies, cream puffs, Rice Krispie treats, fruit, and other choices.
We all said we were coming back and bringing more friends or husbands/guys if we wanted their company next time- or maybe just keep it a happy hour girl group after all.
Plenty of parking and a safe after dark location for the ladies.
