The Melting Pot

Tonight my boyfriend and I had dinner here and Jasmine K. was our server. She gave us the best service!! I'm vegan so it can get a little difficult to go out to eat but she was extremely accommodating and really went the extra mile for us!! I highly recommend you ask for her if you come to eat here!!

This was my first time here  and I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming. Our waitress Shannon I believe was hilarious and helpful.

We chose the 4 course option, which was more than enough.  The cheeses were great eith the pairings-bread, apples,carrots, and celery. I liked the Quattro formaggio better than the spinach artichoke. The salads were typical salads, nothing special about them. Next, was the main course that we cooked in broth ourselves. We both chose the land and sea. Everything tasted great for me except the steak. (I'm not a fan of steak in general). The chocolate fondue was super sweet because I chose white chocolate. It was good regardless.
The overall fondue experience was different and nice. I would definitely return.

What a great spot!!! This was my first time here and it was phenomenal.....from the service, to the atmosphere, to the food! If you've never been here, it's a dining experience! It's a four-course meal, all fondue style. Let me suggest that you get a two-burner table so that you can have multiple options in terms of cheese choices and the bullion cooking. The choices are vast and full of flavor, the turtle chocolate fondue was AMAZING!!!! Our table attendant, Lauren was SOO helpful in making suggestions and ensuring that we had a great first experience!!! We will definitely be returning!!

Had a great dinner here with my honey. We were out of town for the weekend and stopped in for a wonderful dinning experience. The service was superb and the recommendations from our waitress were on point. Loved everything and even got a free box of chocolate covered strawberries for checking in on Yelp! What an awesome treat that she loved

We had an excellent experience here. Other than the fact that some lights were blown out in the area we were seated, everything else went fairly smoothly. We mentioned the darkness issue to our server, and they were able to bring some candles to resolve the issue.

We came during Cobb Restaurant Week and opted for the $25 prix fixe menu. We chose a cheddar cheese fondue for our appetizer which came with several side items such as fruits, veggies, and bread. Our server was very generous and brought us extras when we ran out. For the entree, we had a great tasting broth used to cook our chicken, sirloin, and shrimp, along with some more veggies. And finally, to top things off, we got a chocolate fondue to end the night, paired with some additional sides, such as rice crispies, waffles, cake, fruit and more.

Our server Kyle was excellent. He explained everything he was mixing, what we were eating, all of the different sauces, and he always brought out anything we needed and did it with a smile. He definitely made our evening much more enjoyable.

The Melting Pot is a fondu place. I've never been to a fondu place. I didn't know what to expect. The menu seemed confusing. I wasn't sure what to order. To make thing simpler, I decided to get the 4 course experience. At least that lets you experience all the fondus they had.

If you come with a party, each person gets their own set of skewers. The skewers are color coded so you know which skewer is yours when cooking inside the fondu. That's cool.

The 4 course experience comes with a cheese course, a salad, the entree, and dessert course.

The Cheese course is a cheese fondu. You pick your cheese fondu and they give you a tray of stuff to dip into the cheese. The tray consisted of breads, tomatoes, carrots, celeries, and apples. I tried the Fiesta and the Classic Alpine.

They make the cheese fondu in front of you. They basically take the ingredients written on the menu, add some shredded cheese, and call it a day.

I thought it was okay. I wasn't impressed with assortment of veggies they gave us. It tasted like supermarket food. The cheese tasted good. I mean, it's a cheese dip. How hard is it to mess up?

The next was the salad. I got the California Salad. I liked the Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette. It gave it a nice, tangy flavor. But in the end, it was just a salad--a pitiful one. They just grabbed a bunch of greens and piled on it on a plate with no regards to presentation. I could've done without this course.

The next was the entree. I chose the Steak Lovers since I love steak. It comes with Filet Mignon, Sirloin, and Garlic Pepper Sirloin. With this course, you can pick a broth to cook it in for the fondu. We tried the Coq Au Vin and the Court Bouillon.

I realized cooking steak inside a broth doesn't really do much. It saps the flavor out of the steak. Sure, some of the flavor of the broth remains on the steak, but have you tried boiling Filet Mignon to cook it? I rather grill it so the skin caramelizes, instead of boiling it.

Also, the portions were puny. The amount of meat they gave were so small, I thought they forgot to give me the rest of the food. I ordered a cold water lobster tail as well. I liked how they cut it up into skewer-able pieces.

The last course was the chocolate fondu dessert course. I tried the Yin Yang, which comes with dark and white chocolate. It actually looked like a ying yang symbol when they brought it. I thought that was neat.

And we also tried the Cookies and Cream. The cookies and cream was a flambé so it had a cool flaming effect. Oooh.

In the end, they were both chocolate. I couldn't tell the difference. The tray they give you were some strawberries, rice crispies, brownies, pound cake, bananas, and waffles. Honestly, this was probably the best course. I mean chocolate and sweets, how can't it get better than this?

Our service was so slow. We must have waited 15-20 minutes between the salad and the entree. I was getting bored the whole time. Our server seemed to move at a snail pace. Our server was nice but slow.

At the end, our bill came out to $140 for 2 people. Since we ordered drinks, the food came out to probably around $90-$100. I don't know about you, that seemed pretty expensive for the amount and quality of food we got.

The price was fancy restaurant tier. But most of the food seemed to have come from Publix. I wouldn't  have mind it if it was cheaper, like half the price. But for $140, I could've had a much better meal elsewhere.

We've always loved the Kennesaw Melting Pot, choosing it mostly for special events like anniversaries, etc. Tonight, though, they lost us.

I called maybe two months ago to make a reservation for 09/05/2020 for the big dinner of our anniversary. Then I called a couple of weeks ago to confirm our reservation. All is well, they said. "We'll see you then."

But when we arrived at 5 o'clock sharp, there was no record of our reservation & they were booked. The staff was nice & the manager offered to "work you in," but I had had enough & we went elsewhere.

I doubt we trust The Melting Pot again with an important date.

I visited the melting pot for the first time a few weeks ago. Our server was the greatest. He was very new but so attentive to our table. We felt like he could have given us a little more information about how the meal and options worked but we were satisfied with our meal. We would have liked to try one of the other cooking options, we chose the grill, but will do that next time. The food variety was nice and it all tasted good, however it was difficult to cook the vegetables on the small grill since they were just raw and had no seasonings/oil on them. They give you more than enough food on all courses.

I've been to several TMP locations and this one holds up to expectations. I usually do the 4 course meal and everything came out right on time. Drinks were refilled without needing to ask.

Your employees make your business. Period. This location has the most wonderful staff, and their manager Brandy has the patience of a saint. When my husband and I were there on date night I overhead the table behind us trying to work up some story to get free stuff. They just wanted to complain to complain. Sometimes that happens. She handled them with the utmost courtesy, respect, and professionalism. Beyond that, I think it was the fastest service in and out of a Melting Pot we have ever experienced. The food came fast, was DELICIOUS, and our server was exceptional. Whatever you're doing. . . you're doing it right. Thank you for an awesome date night.
