The Big Cheese

Buttery, salty and enduringly delicious, the grilled cheese sandwich
remains unrivaled in the land of simple gastro-pleasures.

Add some jalapeno peppers, spinach and a dash of black olive pesto, and
what youve got is a more sophisticated version. With a tag line that
reads, Just like you, the sandwich grew up, this is what the folks
behind The Grilled Cheese are striving for.

With combinations such as old cheddar, grilled portobello and roasted
garlic or dill havarti, basil pesto, sundried tomato and onion, the
offerings ($6) are simple and wholesome with a side of originality.

The space is small and cozy, with a decidedly Alpine feel. A moose clock
hangs on one wall while mason jars stuffed with pickled veggies line
another.

Open just in time for winter, it doesnt get much better than rich, gooey
cheese sarni on a cold, blustery day.
