- TStracey smithDec 29, 20254.0For me it’s was just a snack. I had a lobster grilled cheese (only served on weekends) and the sweetie pie grilled cheese, with fries. They were both good. Lemonade was just ok, I felt it was overpriced. You decide. I recommend if You’re not starving & just need something to hold You over until you can get real meal. They did have live music which was nice. I believe You can request what songs You want to hear from a playlist. So that was cool.
- SMsravya mukkavilliDec 26, 20255.0Their vegan sandwich is just so good. Probably the best sandwich I have had in long long time! A must try breakfast spot!!
- GBGabrielle BensonDec 14, 20255.0I’m always skeptical when a place says they make the best of what they’re offering. But Gayle wasn’t lying. The grilled cheese was perfect and so was the tomato soup. Don’t expect Campbell’s whatsoever. I got the “on the lighter side” which was perfect for a little bite before I headed home. So comforting. I hope they stay open forever!
- GKGeorgina KazanDec 9, 20254.0Hi came to the mall to get Magnolia Bakery items and realized we were hungry. Stopped in here since there were available tables. I had the plain grilled cheese, though I was intrigued by the mac & cheese one. I thought it was a fine sandwich but kind of boring— that’s probably my own fault since I didn’t get anything in it. I am a root beer fan and they had Filbert’s (from Chicago!) so I was a happy camper.
