| - I wanted to love this place when I was walking in... and I'm almost there!
My wife, 1yr old daughter and I decided to try these guys out since we all love a good grilled cheese sandwich. As we walked in, the place was empty other than the very friendly lady working the counter (well she was really working the entire establishment).
We talked a bit with her... I believe she was an owner (I'm bad with names... I can't remember her name right now) she was very nice and helpful. They added salads to the menu and removed the flatbread sandwiches they used to offer. The choices looked good so my wife and I mulled over the menu for a while.
My wife chose the mousetrap, a grilled sandwich with cheddar, havarti, swiss, and tomato. I decided to get the same thing... but I added bacon to mine. My little girl had the Kids meal (cheddar grilled cheese).
It was all cooked fresh... and it took a little while to get our food (we were not in a hurry). When it came out it had a clean presentation on the plate and looked very appetizing.
I saw that the potato chips served with my sandwich looked odd... so I ate one... and it was fantastic. I didn't see that they served homemade potato chips with their sandwiches (it's on the menu, but I missed it).
After the chip, I caught a whiff of the Moustrap with bacon... it smelled great. I had my first bite and was happy with my decision to copy my wife's choice :-)
The food was pretty good, my wife liked it and my little girl loved he sandwich. It was not too greasy... especially considering it had three types of cheeses in it. But at the same time, it was not too dry either... it was very close to perfect.
I asked the friendly lady how they were doing and she responded with "better than last year". Evidently they had next to no business the previous year... which is sad since they she is a very nice lady and they produce a good product.
I think we are going to make this our Saturday Lunch spot for the family. While it is not cheap, it is not too expensive. I love to support Local Food and Local Restaurants, and we all love the place.
The place was clean, nice and open, and there is a patio outside (but no chairs)... it felt like 106 degrees out today so I didn't pay to much attention to outdoor seating :-)
I encourage you to give this place a shot. Their hours seem to change a lot... I think it is based on the owner's schedule (I don't think they have that many people on staff). At the time of this review, they are open Tuesday - Saturday, 11am to 4pm. I really wish they would open on Sunday as that is when we normally go out for lunch and dinner (our once a week family outings).
I hope to see you there!
