Planet Grilled Cheese - Citrus Park Mall

Planet Grilled Cheese, Melbourne Square Mall, 1700 West New Haven Avenue, Suite 385, Melbourne, FL- 3-Stars The first time I ever encountered a restaurant dedicated solely to grilled cheese sandwiches I was in Providence, Rhode Island and was totally blown away. So, imagine my excitement when I saw that Planet Grilled Cheese replaced Subway in the food court at Melbourne Square. This franchised gem is not going to win any culinary awards, but they do quickly and competently prepare a grilled cheese. These slightly above average sandwiches might have curbed my enthusiasm, but as classic comfort food goes, these handhelds still comforted. I should point out that the cashier thought I was secretly recording her. I ask you, is there anything quite as refreshing as encountering schizophrenia in a company representative? I’m not sure what I did to make her so cagey. I tried coaxing a smile from her with no luck. But getting back to the food. I ordered the Four Cheese Melt, described as having “All-Natural Cheddar, Mozzarella, Provolone and American.” Next came the Chicken Bacon Ranch, billed as containing “American, All-Natural Cheddar & Mozzarella, Antibiotics-and-Hormones-Free Grilled Chicken, Smoked Bacon, and Creamy Ranch.” Last was the Ultimate Club, indicated to be comprised of “American, All-Natural Cheddar, Antibiotics-and-Hormones-Free Grilled Chicken, Smoked Bacon, Fresh Lettuce, Vine Ripe Tomatoes and Mayo. This might be just your simple, basic, frozen reheat chicken and bacon, but for fast food, this place is a notch above your run-of-the-mill burger joint. Nothing great, nothing bad. All sandwiches on the menu (like those made at this spot by Subway before Planet Grilled) are touted as being served on locally baked bread. The Big Boy says, “If you are hankering for a grilled cheese sammie, Planet Grilled Cheese is a solid choice. No harm, no foul. Just don’t make eye contact with Ally.”

Food was ok but not worth the price point the young girl Destiny who checked us out clearly looked like she didn't wanna be there and we told her twice no Buffalo on one and there still was when we got it :(

When I pulled cash out of my pocket the cashier told me he didn't have any coins,he said I can use a card unless I want to give him the change I told him he can keep the change,when he opened the cash register I clearly saw that there was coins!! I don't mind giving a tip I was already going to give him the change but it's ridiculous that he had to scam me just for a tip?

Service was good and the food got made quickly. The food itself was just ok in taste. I was expecting more “comfort food” flavors. They definitely could’ve done more like adding butter and using a flavorful bread. I ended up paying over 30 dollars plus requested tip just for 2 regular meals, which is extremely overpriced. I was upset about that because each sandwich is labeled as costing 8 dollars and the menu made it seem like the sides would be included for a reasonable up charge of a dollar or 2- similar to how fast food places and other restaurants do it. Considering the cost of grilled cheese to make, how cheap fountain drinks are and basic tomato soup is to make, their profit margins must be insane! I don’t plan on coming back.

Planet Grilled Cheese at Westshore Plaza Mall in Tampa is a great place to stop for delicious and well made grilled cheese sandwiches and fries. I really like their menu items and watching them being prepared right in front of you. I have enjoyed all of the orders that I have made from here.

Yum was delicious!

Pretty decent microwaved food

The employees are extremely unfriendly and rude. This is a shame, because the food was good

The staff was amazing and the food tasted great. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who lives grilled cheeses.

While the items we ordered were tasteful, the presentation was nothing of the images that convinced me to give them a try to begin with. The sandwiches were certainly not pleasing to the eye & for over $85, not worth my money. I saw, I tried, and will never order again. Disappointed.

Lunch at Citrus Park location was AMAZING! Love the Mac Daddy and can’t wait to try the Hawaiian. Should have purchased two so I could have one for later. Only wish they delivered to our area. YUM!

Just finished eating here for the first time and I am blown away, the service was phenomenal, the young man who took our ordered noticed a mistake in the order and instead of just letting us get the wrong order he pointed it out to us, apologized and corrected it immediately. And the food was AMAZING! I tried the chicken bacon melt and fries and my boyfriend got the mac daddy with tomato soup, everything was delicious. And their lemonade bbn is to die for! I will definitely be telling all my friend about this place and I highly reccomend it. 5 stars on service AND food.

Gluten free Grilled cheeseeeee and kids eat free everyday!!!!

I didn't know this company.

Takes entirely way too long to get the food. I can't imagine what this place would look like if it was busy. Either they're understaffed or they don't have an efficient system.
