Yum!! We came across this place as we walked around. I had the lobster grilled cheese and it was really good! They also had live music while we were there, which was kind of cool too!

I came here for a quick lunchtime. The grilled cheese, tomato soup, and chips were tasty. The pick up process was quick and easy.

I passed by and couldn't resist the smell! When I got in I was even more excited. I love how they focus on local sourcing for all of the ingredients, even the bottled drink! I will be stopping by again when I am in the Loop.

My husband and I came from South Dakota and this was one of our "must try" places for our first visit to Chicago. It did not disappoint. Without a doubt the best grilled cheese we've ever had. Love how everything is locally sourced. Great food and great service. Very impressed!!! Will be back the next time we visit Chicago.

"I came to this place after a long flight from DFW and a long train ride from O'Hare. My son and I were treated amazingly by the staff who was patient with him while he decided. The food was so phenomenal that I'm still thinking about it back in Texas and my son still asked When can we go back? Even though it is quite a trip, I did save this place in my favorites because maybe one day I'll find my way back there. Somehow I was more impressed with the grilled cheese than the pizza in Chicago.
