KinoOctober 9, 2014Cheese Grille (name isn't written anywhere) is a nice new 11 week old Grilled Cheese spot & bar. They serve affordable drafts, have WiFi, & lots of seats. Hours will extend to 3am. $3 brunch Mimosas.
Eric GreenSeptember 14, 2016Simply an amazing place grilling-up the best grilled cheese in NYC. Try the little Italy with a cup of tomato soup. Use it as a dip. Sooo good!
Keith KerrJune 12, 2015If you are out late and trying to find a place to drink and chill, this is a good spot. Since it's more of a restaurant you can bring people under 21. Cool indie vibe and great raspberry lemonade
Kendra BorowskiSeptember 14, 2014Ham and gruyere grilled cheese with caramelized onions is the move here. Don't forget the half bottle of wine. Awesome open windows look out into the street. Tons of seating.
Larry LaBurrJuly 16, 2015So many grilled cheese choices I could die happy! I never wanted to pay $8-$11 for a grilled cheese but there you go, that's my life now and it's worth it. Strong beer and wine selection as well.
Justin TSeptember 26, 2016Three cheese grilled cheese sandwich with caramelized onions is amazing. Sweet potato tots is a great side. Free can of lions head beer or any soda with checkin on yelp! Great spot for lunch.
Kendal CockrelAugust 15, 2018The buffalo chicken grilled cheese is where it’s at and the mac & cheese bites are also delicious. Get a cup of soup to dip your sandwich in.
- Tessa DomzalskiNovember 24, 2015Super tasty tomato soup! And I love their three-cheese sandwich. Sweet grilled cheeses are interesting, albeit a bit heavy. Avoid the crispy goat.
april pongtraticDecember 28, 2014great service and yummy grilled cheese. i tried the sloppy joe and it is delicious. just what i needed as my first meal of the day (at 645pm)
Crispy goat (two kinds of goat cheese, bacon and avocado) is my go to, but you can't go wrong here. Also check out the sweet potato tots.
Jennifer YuJuly 24, 2016Cheap wines by the bottle with plenty of seating. Great place to chill on a Sunday away from the LES brunch crowd
Julie SlotnickJuly 31, 2015The waitress was extremely sweet and knew exactly what to recommend! Try the raspberry lemonade mixed with champagne; the sweet potato tots; and the baby arugula salad.
Amber NagleFebruary 27, 2015Great for a late night grilled cheese and draft beer after show hopping in the lower east side. Recommend the ham and cheese on multigrain!
ShaghayeghJanuary 18, 2018The best grilled cheese sandwich I’ve ever had! We had the three cheese and the ham n cheese, both were very tasty.
AmateurConciergeJune 21, 2015QUITE the grilled cheese indeed. Bread is perfectly toasted, cheese perfectly melted.
Vivienne GucwaSeptember 19, 2014Get the tomato soup! Dip the crusts of your sandwich in there. Perfection
- L. T.June 9, 2015This place is a problem. Everything is delicious and the staff is friendly and likes to joke around with you. Funny!
Lady SmileNovember 23, 2015This place is amazing! I always go savory and they never disappoint. Great lunch idea.
SailorSeptember 26, 2018It was way overhyped and the Mac and cheese bites have ZERO flavor they need to give everything a little more kick instead of trying to be instagramable but the sandwiches were good
Paloma GiannaJanuary 13, 2019Great grilled cheese! Definitely recommend the little italy. Onion rings were delicious!
Emily KaneJuly 6, 2015There's both grilled cheese and alcohol at this establishment. No further questions.
Deem KhalidJuly 29, 2018I don’t know what happened when I finished eating I had stomachache maybe the food was dirty or it has unlimited amount of fucking trans fat, the second important thing is the food is over priced🤮
- Rudy G.August 19, 2018The grilled cheese classic was bad. The bread was too hard to chew and the cheese tasted bad.
Tahani RenaudSeptember 1, 2017Le meilleur sandwich grillé de NY ? je ne sais pas, mais vraiment super bon ! (Crispy Goat sandwich dééélicieux)

The historic Lower East Side of Manhattan is well known for having some of the best eats in the world. Cheese Grille has certainly become a major player in that category. And nothing like true American comfort food as a hot, crispy-gooey grilled cheese...
