About Cheddar Jackson

Cheddar Jackson is a restaurant celebrated for its excellent vegan and vegetarian options, including vegan cheese, soups, sandwiches, and meat alternatives. Omnivores also enjoy the non-vegan items. The home-made tomato soup and vegan bakery items, like the deep dish Oreo cookie, are particularly praised. The shop's cozy atmosphere enhances the overall experience, even though it mainly offers takeout with just two bistro tables outside, which do not have umbrellas for sun protection. Customers often highlight dishes like the Hot Turkey w/brie and cranberry, the Brooklyn, and the rosemary turkey with bacon jam. The staff is known for being friendly and accommodating, allowing customers to sample items like bacon jam beforehand. The food is described as fresh and top-notch, making it a good choice for any occasion despite limited seating. Recent reviews mention a tasty but salty grilled cheese on a panini press, as well as variations of grilled cheese with chicken, and a vegetarian chicken option with vegan cheese. The place offers sandwiches costing $8 to $15 as of summer 2025, with limited drink options. Visitors recommend trying the Mom's French toast sandwich with cherry jam, especially when on vacation, and note the pleasant staff. Some customers have experienced cross-contamination with eggs and vegan cheese, which can affect those with dietary sensitivities.

It is basically a takeout and eat at the 2 bistro tables out front.
But once you bite into the Hot Turkey w/brie and cranberry....
One does not care where you are seated!

It was a beautiful night for the best sandwich of my entire life!!

Roast Beef & Cheddar Bistro 100% recommended ❤️

The guys working there are fantastic big WoW to them.

Everything about this place is awesome. I really enjoyed visiting with the owners of this really cool and unbelievably good place. For first timer tourists, this place was the best “welcoming place” to stop after a day of flying from Texas, and feel nothing but a good Virginia Vibe. I’d come back to this state just for a panini and great conversation. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. I had the Smoked Robinson. It was delicious. And the pimento cheese with crackers...read full review
