Love their Oreo shakes more than any other place's. Any grilled cheese choice is solid, but the outdoor wait between ordering & pickup can be long at weekday lunchtime. Call/Seamless pickup instead.

The grilled cheese is amazing. Really, it's just a grilled cheese, but it's THE grilled cheese. And theres a lot of options. A lot of cheese. It's so f* good!

I can't think of a better quick meal on the go for less than 10 bucks if you find yourself in midtown. Plus they also have Stumptown coffee and awesome milkshakes

You can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches, but the buttermilk fried chicken and pulled pork are particularly delicious. Always get the tots with melt sauce.

For a truly indulgent meal, go for the Dirty or Buttermilk Fried Chicken grilled cheese paired with the Shop Tots. You'll thank us later!

On the advice of others, I went with the Fried Chicken sandwich, tots, and tomato soup. All were quite good. If it's raining, you better hope you can find a table in the food court.

Great spot to grab launch. So far I've had the Tuna Melt and the Classic with everything. Delicious! Especially love their tater tots

Get the off menu Dirty sandwich, melted grill cheese with chips and pickles with a side of the parmesan tots and tomato soup

I don't know why nobody thought to pair pepper Jack, buffalo chicken, and sourdough before, but it is so delicious I think it may be illegal..

Order the buttermilk fried chicken grilled cheese sandwich, which comes with lots of gooey jalapeno jack, cabbage slaw, and a dollop of the restaurant's special creamy "melt sauce."
Nikki VargasFebruary 18, 2013
Had the truffle melt with gruyere and arugula on toasted sourdough, which was amazing. Great grilled cheeses definitely worth the visit!
Annie AlfstadMay 12, 2015
I do love their Taylor tots and fried chicken melt. Also their truffle mayo is pretty bomb. For a gluttonous meal- do it

We happened in on their first say open. Fabulous! Put smiles on my vacation-tired kids faces. The staff was amazing and the food was excellent!
Danielle AshbyMarch 28, 2013
Found classic grilled cheese to be on the big size and the tomato soup is homemade. The best I've tasted in a long time. Well worth it!

Had the smoked turkey ruben, tastes even better when dipped in their homemade tomato soup. They only have outside seating (I didn't know that before coming) so dress accordingly. Enjoy!

The team working there seems to be having fun, and they make everyone feel welcome. If that's not enough, the Stumptown Coffee Crunch Milkshake is even better than it sounds.

All the grilled cheese goodness in the world is here. My poison is the Buttermilk Fried Chick Sandwich and the shop tots (tater tots)
Jennifer KDecember 20, 2011
Turkey rueben is delish! Next tine trying the tots. Just wish there was proper seating - "mall" feels suburban. Great for quick take away to the office.
Ruth TooJuly 5, 2011
Gruyere, fontina, and my favorite, goat cheese with roasted tomatoes is a combination of deliciousness! This sandwich is out of this world good!
drew tarvinMay 25, 2015
Get the Fried Chicken Grilled Cheese, it goes great with the tots and a shake.
Shari Marie RJanuary 12, 2012
the tots are a MUST, pb&j toasted isnt 1/2 bad, anything w/ goat cheese & mushrooms, coffee crunch milkshake tops it all off
Ariana AmesMarch 22, 2015
Must get tomato soup with ANY sandwich!
Devin BattersbyMarch 10, 2014
Stingy on the buffalo sauce for the buffalo blue, asked for extra, was charged 75¢ more for significantly less sauce than I normally get at other locations. Also no cheesy tots here :'(

The buffalo chicken daily special is somehow even better than the normal buttermilk-fried chicken. Both are amazing.
Brian ChaseJuly 10, 2015
Classic grilled cheese tends to have extra crispy (I.e., close to burned) crusts
Kali GoodwinJuly 20, 2011
Must try the Shop Tots with Melt Sauce and the Coffee Crunch Milkshake. Honestly everything here is to die for!
C RoseJanuary 26, 2013
Best breakfast sandwiches in Midtown East (serving breakfast until noon on weekends).
Michael HanMay 27, 2015

#StaffPick, we LOVE the turkey reuben. No matter what you get - shops tots as a side are a must!

The place is located DOWNSTAIRS in the corner. You can not see it from Lexington. Took me a while to find it!
Raj SarmaDecember 26, 2012
Try the Buttermilk-Fried Chicken Grilled Cheese - Crunchy and moist!
Erica PettitAugust 18, 2012
Get the dirty grilled cheese - Carmelites onions, jalapeños. Potato chips with pepper jack!
Munira AhmedJanuary 12, 2012
I'm a fan of the egg and cheese w/ pickled peppers. Great iced coffee too!
