The best grilled cheese I have ever had, hands down.

I got the pulled pork grilled cheese and my daughter got the Mac n Grilled cheese. They had local brand soda, and not the major brands which was fun and refreshing.

Expensive, so-so eatery. Google maps can take you on a wild goose chase finding the place, which is in the basement level of a mall. Staff was friendly enough. The $4 small mac and cheese was comical; literally a dixie cup sized portion. The sandwhich, cheese and grilled onion, was ok. Not spectacular. I would not go here again.

Love the atmosphere of this place. Live music, and nice staff. I would say the prices are a little iffy especially for portion size. I payed $13 for “The Margarita” grilled cheese. I would’ve wanted for the bread to be a little bigger in size. Was going to order the “little mac” until I saw how small it was. Could compare it to a “pup cup” from Starbucks. Overall good taste for the grilled cheese though.
