Restaurant famous for its crazy grilled cheese creations to take on Mac & Cheese

MELT Bar & Grilled will offer special ‘Maniacal Mac & Cheese’ menu

MELT Bar & Grilled is embracing Mac & Cheese in a very big way with some new menu additions.

The Cleveland-based restaurant chain that operates a location at the Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek will unveil what it calls a “Maniacal Macaroni & Cheese” menu in October that will allow diners to build their own, and then customize their dish.

Here’s how it works:

Diners will first choose the sauce they want on their mac & cheese, from among options such as classic cheddar, garlic cream, spicy buffalo or paprikash. They will then choose their bread crumb, from among crunchy Panko, Romano cheese or crumpled tortilla.

Then things get really interesting.
