I love grilled cheese sandwiches. At home, it's usually Kraft Singles and a couple of pieces of bacon slapped between two slices of Wonderbread or whatever generic brand they sell at No Frills - nothing fancy.
So you can imagine the intrigue - and skepticism - Cheesewerks posed when I first learned about it.
Before this experience, the only time I've paid for a grilled cheese sandwich was at a school cafeteria and a greasy spoon for office workers - nothing fancy.
At Cheesewerks, I ordered the original with bacon and a lemonade. With tax, the bill came to about $15. Bad sign: when I first laid eyes on it and thought, "That's it?"
Don't get me wrong, it was a good sandwich. Greasy and small, but good. But was it worth $10? (Extra cost of bacon included). Not a chance.
Will I go back? Probably not. I just can't justify the cost when there are so many menu options elsewhere that are the same price and even better/filling.
The lemonade ($3 for a glass) was so-so.
