Tom Evans: Split a dozen oysters, get a clam chowder and grilled cheese each for a couple and you have the perfect lunch!
Benjy Weinberger: The grilled cheese sandwich may be the best you'll ever have.
_: Known for their grill cheese sandwich, clam chowder, and oysters of course.
Andrew Lam: Solid grilled cheese (Piglet is my fave), soups, yummy in-house sodas, nice selection of draft beers. Extended hours on Giants home game days.
Clay Robeson: Try the Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese - Chevre, Jack, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Apricot-Jalapeno Relish - Amazing combo of flavors!
Best of: Get the American Dip (Garlic herb sonoma jack, roast beef, roasted potatoes, chive butter on levain; with horseradish cream dipping sauce) or the Mac N Cheese Grilled Cheese. Yes, you read that right. Read more.

Kris Vera-Phillips: Try the grilled cheese with bacon - #kvpinmybelly : Amazing cheese over crusty bread. Had kitchen add bacon. Also, the Yukon potato soup w/ bacon oil was yummy!
Bridget M: Long wait on Saturday, but grab a beer and sit in the parklet and time will fly. Grilled cheese and beef curry sandwich are excellent choices.
Ava: great remodel, had the grilled cheese with avocado—lots of bread, but tasty!

David Berkowitz: Great grilled cheese with pear and gorgonzola
Erin: Lasagna, chicken pot pie, turkey club and grilled cheese are all good...but my fav is the french toast (breakfast served until 8pm).
Behzod Sirjani: You can add extras to the grilled cheese, which is definitely worth it. Also, all the salads are great.

Pam ☕️ O: Have a cortado and grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. The sandwich country bread is huge, so ask for the half sandwich if you just want a bite.
Brian Holt: The Andytown coffee is amazing. The avocado toast, croissants, and grilled cheese are great too.
Liza P: Cool little neighborhood coffee shop! Sunny, great place to read, tasty coffee.

The Daily Meal: Top recommended: Passion fruit panna cotta, Dungeness crab tortellini, and the mini grilled cheese amuse-bouches. Read more.
Mike Tito: I was welcomed with Grilled Cheese and Soup.. I think that should be something that every restaurant should do!
Christopher Westcott: A great wine selection. Definitely do pick a few of their whites. Oddly enough, my favorite dish was the complimentary grilled cheese and tomato soup snack ;-) But definitely try the tuna tartare too.

MetroWize: Between the bottomless mimosa brunch and killer Bloody Mary's to their intense Grilled Cheese and Tator Tots options, you'll never leave Mayhem hungry or sober. Did we mention they have Fernet on tap? Read more.
MyCityWay: Food is served all night and drinks are great! Plus they have a laundry list of grilled cheeses and other comfort foods!
Mike B: From the dinner menu, a 3-Item Sampler is a great choice. In particular, Grilled Cheese Bites (w/ tomato soup!), Tater Tots + Cheese, and BBQ Chicken Strips... Easily feeds two hungry people.
