Fancy’s on 5th is an oyster bar and burger joint in the heart of Avondale. With no intentions of anything fancy, this restaurant sets out to serve the best of the best to all walks of life.

Is there anything more satisfying than the familiar taste of a grilled cheese and tomato soup? We love the nostalgia of that simple dish, but we really love the way MELT puts their own spin on the classic. You’ll find an expansive list of different grilled cheese options as well as delicious cheesy starters, side items that perfectly pair and a dessert menu that will wow!
