Melty Way

There are no less than 17 different variations on the menu at Melty Way, the brand new diner in American Fork that seems built on the premise that there is next to nothing that wouldn’t taste great in a grilled cheese sandwich. We sampled several sandwiches, and the hands-down, mouth-open favorite was the Turkey and Bacon. Other favorites included The Classic (standard cheddar cheese), The Hawaiian (pepper jack cheese, ham, and pineapple preserves) and The Italian (tomatoes, basil pesto, and both fresh and whole milk mozzarella). Why, the kids menu even features a Grilled PB&J — seriously, how cool is that? The Tomato Basil and Ravolini soups were delicious, and the ice cream sandwiches (ice cream between a pair of cookies) were divine.

Flipside Cafe

Having a hard time deciding whether you want an intimate date night or just a healthy casual dining experience? Turns out you can get both at Flipside Cafe in American Fork. Throughout most of the month, Flipside Cafe offers a wide selection of sandwiches, soups, gourmet salads and a few grilled specialties. The twist is one evening a month, the restaurant takes a break from its regular menu and instead offers an elaborate three- or five-course meal during two reservation-only sessions. The cafe also serves breakfast.
