My boyfriend and I enjoyed a romantic and fun evening at this Melting Pot! We sat at a cute little booth. Anthony called ahead so when we got there, there were roses and balloons at our table and at the end they took our picture and framed it for us!

My boyfriend was very skeptical about cooking our own food since he is the "steak man" and wanted a grilled steak. Our waiter was fantastic, he suggested that we cook our food in the oil style since the oil would make a really juicy steak. AND IT DID! My boyfriend got his filet and enjoyed every bite. Our waiter also showed us how to make stuffed mushrooms with one of the many sauces that we got. They were unbelievable! Also, the experience was fun.

And as good as the cheese and entree were, dessert was by far the best part! We got the 'cookies and cream marshmellow dream' and it was so good, we really felt like we were dreaming! There wasn't anything that wasn't above par! Even my chocolate martini was the best I've ever had.

This is a must-try experience. Great for couples! (and kids would love it too!)

OK, Emmitsburg . . . looks like you don't get out much. OF COURSE the food arrives raw :-}

We go to MB with at least 3 other people and sometimes more. This year we will have 6 other people with us. We CAN'T WAIT to get to the Melting Pot with them. It is such a great atmosphere and is so much fun for everyone to cook their own food. The great part about this is that the wait staff tells you exactly what you need to know about how to cook the food and especially how to avoid any problems with cooking the chicken.

The Bailey's chocolate dessert fondue is to die for! Also, start the meal with the spinach and mushroom salad with their house dressing and the wonderful wine & garlic seasoning.

My wife and I have enjoyed several meals at several different Melting pots. While on our June 06 trip to the beach we decided to try this one. This is one of the best if not the best palce to take your spouse or significant other for a relaxing meal. The staff was more than they needed to be in every aspect all staff members were will to assist anyone not just there on tables. The food was great as always. We made reservations and even showed up 30 minutes early and were seated promptly. The price is a bit high but you get this is one those cases that you get what you pay for.

My mother and I go to this restaurant about once every two months. Though it is slightly expensive, it is worth every penny. I enjoy the conversations the servers will start with us. I always feel welcome, and I always leave full. It is amazing.

I love the Melting Pot. It is one of the best restaurants in Myrtle Beach. My husband and I used to live in Myrtle Beach and we went for a lot of special occasions. The food and service is always suberb. If you break down the price for what you get it is worth it. If you do not get the chocolate dessert at the end it is hardly worth going. The atmosphere is really romantic.

On our last night in Myrtle Beach, my husband and I decided to try something "different." We'd had enough seafood, and after watching a 5-minute ad for this place on TV in the hotel, decided we'd try it.

Big mistake. On the up side, I will say we were seated immediately although we had no reservations (partly because we visited after Labor Day). Also, the restaurant's atmosphere is truly romantic, clean, and inviting after a day in the sun. We noticed balloons at a few tables and found out if you call ahead and announce you're celebrating a certain event, they have a package for balloons and flowers and special food. I'm sure there's a charge, and not sure how much. Anyway...this is where the good ends.

My husband and I ordered the "Fondue for Two." It was $56 for a cheese fondue beginning, a choice of 3 salads, and a platter of beef, chicken, shrimp and salmon. For 2 people I didn't think that was too bad. We chose the Cheddar fondue. It was average at best. They give you veggies, green apple chunks and pieces of bread for dipping...but I didn't get much from this I couldn't get with melted Velveeta at home. Then came salads. They were good, no problems here (how can you screw up lettuce and tomatoes?). Then came the shocking part. Again - my husband and I have never dined at a Melting Pot and didn't even know it was a franchise. Imagine our shock to learn your food arrives RAW! Even worse, we had to spend $5 more for what we thought was a "Mojo" cooking style...the waitress literally squeezed lemon and a pinch of garlic into the broth - for $5?!

So there we were, hungry, and appalled by the fact that we had to drop piece by piece of our meats and fish into the broth, carefully mind my husband's second hand on the watch, and then cross our fingers hoping and praying any food posioning stays at bay. I'm sorry, but for that much money I do NOT expect to be cooking my own food...especially not while on "vacation!" I had expected dipping chunks of food, but I expected they'd be cooked! It felt gross and wrong...I don't like my food still mooing, clucking, or anything...so this was weird to us.

By the end of the meal (which we picked at) we had a bill of $74! We each did have a drink (a cosmo and a mojito) but this was crazy! The night prior, we dined at Sea Blue in North Myrtle Beach and had gourmet cuisine, 2 drinks, a dessert, and the bill was $67! This place was a rippoff if you ask me. The waitress, though a nice lady, felt more like a salesman than a server! She was PUSHING the $70 "Big Night Out" package as if she gets commission on it! I will say the chocolate menu was tempting, more reasonably priced, and I'm sure if you do select a chocolate fondue you'll be happy - I had to skip it because of feeling like I'd already been taken for a ride on an overpriced, RAW meal where WE were the chefs! We drove back to the hotel anticipating food poisoning...none came, but needless to say, I'll stick to my Velveeta at home, NOT have to pay to cook it myself, and I'd advise you truly be prepared for this if you decide to dine here.

This is the place to go for that special evening or to just drop in for chocolates. The service is outstanding, the food of the highest quality, and the atmosphere perfect. The staff is what makes this restaurant over the top.
