Min KimDecember 28, 2014The service is great. Grilled cheese selection is top notch. You got to have the veggie breakfast only served in the mornings! Grilled mac n cheese would have been better with more chedder personally
Elliott PoppelJanuary 26, 2015Jalapeno Popper. Local chevre, Monterey jack, apricot-jalapeno relish and Zoe’s applewood bacon on levain bread. It's creamy, spicy, smoky with a hint of sweetness; this sandwich is tough to beat.
Long lines during lunch. Take advantage of the online (chow now), Facebook, & iPhone app ordering. Especially good if your ordering for the office. Just pick up and go!
Martin HeckoNovember 18, 2016The half sandwich/soup is the way to go. I recommend the gruyere/mushroom with the smoked tomato soup.
Daniel StansellApril 24, 2017Grilled cheese and beer. And some A+ tomato soup. Go for it, and grab happy hour if you can! One of the low-key deals in the city.
San Francisco MagazineApril 23, 2013If you have time for the lunchtime wait, order the Jalapeno Popper: goat cheese, Monterey Jack, jalapeno-apricot relish, and smoky bacon between slices of crispy-soft levain from Pinkie's.

Saumil MehtaJuly 4, 2012Amazing tomato soup (if you're into that sort of thing), excellent jalapeno popper, great morning oatmeal, horrendous entrepreneur-unfriendly lunch lines. Don't bother going if you work a lot.
Anton ShusterAugust 12, 2014Get the mushroom Gruyere grilled cheese, with roasted potatoes, melted leeks, and caramelized onions all tucked inside. Add in some smoky tomato soup or quinoa salad for a hearty meal.- Tessa JohnsonApril 13, 2013The mac n cheese grilled cheese is absolutely delicious! Slap some bacon on it, get tomato soup on the side, and finish it off with a beer.
Lots of good sandwiches and salads here. Get there in the morning for the bacon biscuit.
Alejandro FranceschiNovember 6, 2013Fresh comfort food with beer and wine; really, what more could you want? Well, having them be open LATE would be AMAZING, but won't press my luck...
- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The mac and cheese grilled cheese is the best grilled cheese sandwich in SF, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: SF Edition." Read more
Mark DregerAugust 30, 2016Great comfort food. Sit outside on a warm day, or take your food around the corner to South Park.
Justin GoldbergAugust 30, 2014One of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had. I know it's a simple concept, but they put a great twist on it.
Breakfast sandwiches are the best deal and keep you full. I recommend the veggie breakfast, light on the cheese, add an extra egg and jalapeño relish. Yum.
Stephanie CookAugust 20, 2014Most unique grilled cheese shop I've been to. Try the Mac and cheese grilled cheese with a cup of tomato soup. YUM!
Jimmy LuApril 18, 2015Their breakfast sandwiches and tomato soups are great. Haven't had their Mac n cheese grilled cheese yet, but that will be next time.
Red, white and blue plate special with mushroom gruyere and tomato soup - perfect for lunch any day! Their muffins are also delicious :)
Shawna MarieMay 24, 2016Amazing Mac and cheese grilled cheese. Outdoor seating and some parking. Best days to go is on Sunday!
I love the breakfast grilled cheese on the weekends! Their lemonade is always good as well!- Stephanie CookAugust 3, 2014Best grilled cheese spot I've ever been to. Mac n cheese Grilled cheese sandwich and delicious smoky tomato soup!
Add 15 mins to how long you think this will take. This is the only place where there can be a line out the door and the guys behind the counter will still move like a snail and stop to chat w/friends.
Foghorn Leghorn is amazing! So is the American Dip. Quick to order, but takes FOREVER to get your food
Jo MassieApril 9, 2016Mac and cheese in a grilled cheese. What's not to love?? Pomegranate lemonade was also 👌
Moscone, foghorn or the new Cubano... You can't go wrong with any of these delicious treats.
Grab a 'classic breakfast' in the morning for a $4 grilled cheese with egg. It's filling, cheap and super tasty!
Lea Dessi-OliveMarch 12, 2015Great gluten free bread- they call it wheat free though bc it's not a gluten free kitchen.
Liz FallAugust 27, 2015The tomato bisque is like no other. I would go here more but the lunch lines can be insane.
Peter LangsamSeptember 17, 2013Ordering online was easy and quick. Mac n cheese was delicious, definitely will be trying more
7x7 MagazineOctober 29, 2012No seriously get a mac 'n cheese grilled cheese. That's right, mac 'n cheese stuffed into a grilled cheese sandwich with, you guess it, more cheese (and bacon!). Read more
Adrienne OldsMay 25, 2012Make sure to order the Piglet. It's so delicious my mouth is watering just thinking about that yummy melted cheese.
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 RobesonApril 29, 2011Try the Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese - Chevre, Jack, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Apricot-Jalapeno Relish - Amazing combo of flavors!
THEY HAVE NEW YORK SPICY DILL PICKLE CHIPS. I REPEAT: SPICY DILL PICKLE CHIPS!
The breakfast Classic, accompanied by a cookie & coffee, is an unbeatable start to the day.
Herval FreireApril 30, 2017I paid $12 on a freakin cheese sandwich I could make better at home, and now I feel an entitled POS (and still hungry) 😑
KatApril 13, 2013Today, April 12, is National Grilled Cheese Day! Tillamook at TAGCK is hosting an event with free grilled cheese for the first 250 until 7pm :)
