Stephen Polito

Good simple grilled cheese, really great service as well

Named Guy

Nice service and tasty food

Andrew Miller

I've been here twice now and tried both the pierogi and jalapeno grilled cheeses. They were so good! I love trying new grilled cheese flavours. The atmosphere is great and the owner is a great guy. I'm really happy to recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for something new and exciting.

Been eyeing this place for awhile and the grilled cheese is very good with a rustic "mom and pop" feeling. It's great to support local whenever possible. Smoothie a bit on the plain side however a nice spot for lunch!

Jeff Riddall

Best samwiches n' friendly vibes in Barrie!

Shawn Nicol

Great place for everyone. Awesome food and fantastic service. Try the Lord Cheesus!

Joshua Packer

Great options. The lemonade is wonderful, go for the original, not the flavoured.

dr. coole

You will be amazed at what a grilled cheese sam can be. I was.

Very Retro interior pictures and atmosphere. Members of the owners family has done most of the original art work. I ordered the Grilled Swiss cheese n ham with caramelized onions and soup of the day was cream of coliflower. So tasty,the touch of French mustard on it was Devine. This venue has comfort food down go an art form. (Voted the top ten cheesiest place in Canada from Canadian living and #1 & or 2 Best Barrie Eatery in TripAdvisor). Don't pass this little colourful quaint mid town diner without sampling the vast range of Grilled cheeses sandwiches. Rated 5/5 from me.

Graham Wilson

Casual, cozy local eatery with a friendly family feel. Tons of selection, decent prices, and omg amazing food. I had the Parisian sandwich, which was brie and sliced pear... It's unfair for grilled cheese to taste this good.

Jason Fournie

Fantastic, friendly staff and hands down the best grilled cheese you'll ever have. Did I mention it's gluten free friendly?? Man, I wished I lived in Barrie for this reason.

Damian Osborne

I love the atmosphere, a great little shop and with very tasty food!

Shirley Moncur

I had the Spirit Catcher. Cheesy goodness with tomatoes, fresh basil and avocado. The bread was crispy, light and buttery. Service was very friendly and fast. Definitely going to be a "re-do" whenever I'm in Barrie.

Bill Dandie

This sandwich shop on the main drag in Barrie is righteous! The setting is warm, welcoming and very eclectic :-). The design is stimulating, the service spot on and the grilled cheese totally tasty. Well done on serving up some yummy comfort food!

Ray Amirnia

Great service, amazing sandwiches!

Jim Stewart

Always good

James McKellar

Premium grilled cheese on the patio, perfect spot for a light lunch and the homemade pop tarts are incredible!

Adam Deaves

Wow. They do one for the main, but they have perfected it and have about 15 choices for it Chips or salad? Pick the salad, it's really well done too.

*Covid Review* My partner and I came here on a beautiful summer day. We sat on the patio on the sidewalk along Dunlop. Our server was kind and masked up. She told us about the menu being posted outside of the shop so we could take a picture and look at it on our phones without having to touch anything. There were so many options, it was hard to choose. I gave the server 2 options and let the chef pick with a side of salad. My partner ordered the pierogi grilled cheese with chips. My partner liked his, however he was hungry afterwards. I would say it would be good to come here if you're looking for a light lunch, or wanted to indulge in some ice cream afterwards. I received the mac and cheese with bacon. Although I ordered salad, I got chips. I'm sure they would have switched it out, but I like kettle chips lol. It was fried perfectly, filing and tasted good. The cheese flavour was lighter than I prefer (I like sharp cheddar). You have to pay inside (don't forget your mask). Most of the grilled cheeses are reasonably priced.

K. Sparks

Great variety! Super yummy! Can't wait to go again!

Sasha Alexandria

One of the best places I go to eat in Barrie. Food and service is ALWAYS excellent. Highly reccomend . I hope patio season opens soon and they dont just stick to delivery :( #yougottaeathere

Michael Collis

Calvin Shien

scott kosman

If you enjoy the combination of hot bread and melted cheese then you can't go wrong here.

Mike Coleman

Good local place

Randy May

We had the Clubhouse, and absolutely loved it! Plus, the service was excellent!

Charlie 3

I've been here a few times. Never lets me down. The tomato soup tastes like a pasta sauce though. I still eat it. Because I'm a pig.

Austin Vavrovics

Good food, good atmosphere, good prices. Great spot in Barrie.

Andrew Geddes

If you have time for only one place while you're passing through downtown, let this be that place! Mygod it's fantastic! It's an eclectic little restaurant and their grilled cheese is just the best. The mac n cheese grilled cheese or perogie grilled cheese... Mmmmmmm. The best!

Chase Parrell

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere ????

Dill887

This has got to be the best restaurant ever! I absolutely love the music they play here, all the of artwork, and of course the mouthwatering food! I really like how they switched to glass plates instead of the baskets too. Whenever I’m in barrie, my girlfriend and I always make sure to visit this place, because you will not find any grilled cheese sandwiches anywhere else like these guys do them.

RK Chip

Awesome addition to Barrie's downtown. Would recommend you give them a try ????

Joshua Kahn

The best grilled cheese Sammy I have ever had!!!

Andy Dabydeen

Totally amazing cafe. The grilled cheese choices are numerous, and the decor and ambience stunning.

Jordan Adams

Awesome food, super fresh, it is grilled cheese to the next level done right. Do not hesitate on ordering the daily soup, and I wouldn't say that statement lighthearted.

Neil Voutt

Really delicious!

tai chang

Good service and good food. We had the Spirit Catcher (cheddar, Monterey cheese, avocado, tomato, basil), Big Apple (Brie, cheddar, bacon jam, sautéed apples, arugula pesto), and Green Goddess (goat cheese, mozzarella, avocado, spinach, garlic). Wanted to try more but the 2 of us couldn't order more than 3 meals, lol!

Robert Gerbrandt

Ambiance and a great menu!

Hannah Faris

Green Goddess speaks for itself. Awesome set up, very cool place to check out

Maggie MacKinlay

Grilled Cheese Social Eatery has the most delicious food for a good price. There is a regular menu of grilled cheese options as well as a list of ingredients so you can create your own. They serve cane sugar bottles of pop which are ok tasting, but a little expensive. They have fresh desserts including homemade pop tarts. My family comes here at least once a month because we love the food so much.

Talha Cheema

Amazing grilled cheese. Prices are a bit high but I’ve never been let down in terms of quality of food. Great aesthetics too

Bryana Auclair

Always great sandwiches and their soup is just as good !!!

Steve Murphy

Was treated rudely by a staff member. I can make a grilled cheese at home.

Colin McSweeney

Love the bohemian vibe Great food at reasonable price.Great staff Friendly service .definitely will return and recommend.

Fabien Ancelin

Very delicious food and friendly place. Fantastic atmosphere.

Daniel Anzola

The tomato soup is great, it's a pity they run out of it more often than not

Michelle Sokalski

I absolutely love this place!!!it's so cool, food is out of the world especially the Lord cheesus. It's a great lunch spot to go with anybody and it's super friendly and creative atmosphere is infectious. My favorite place to eat in Barrie by far

LC Thurston

Delicious cheesy goodness in all sorts of combinations. I wasn't sure if my choice would work but when I got it, it was fantastic. This place is cheesy genius.

Chris N

Total Hidden Gem in Barrie. Another one of those 'must visit' locations. Great food, great service. PLUS you can pay forward a sandwich and a coffee to the truly needy (why more places cant do this, i'll never know, but support the ones who do!!!)

James Mitchell

Yummy food & cozy atmosphere. Can get grilled cheese made fully vegan.

Geoffrey Shea

They get it!

Amber Warner

Ate here for the third time. I distinctly Remember my first grilled cheese here: pergogies with bacon grilled cheese. Soo good! This time I tried "the hot one" with pineapple. Pizza themed grilled cheese with pepperoni, mozzarella, marinara sauce, and of course the pineapple. An amazing combination in a grilled cheese sandwich and I'm very sorry that there's no picture but as soon as I saw it I devoured it. Highly recommend

Erin F

The place is really cute and so is the decor. The food is really good too.

David Touchette

Great sandwiches, a little pricey. Friendly staff.

Craig Middleton

Close to when your first opened i used to go all the time and be served by nice younger lady. one day a man behind the counter chastised me in front of other customers and kept on yelling as i was walking out of the store for asking about allergy options (which you offer). i wonder why we "didn't connect". Never been back never will be back, made me feel terribly embarrassed.

ian morrison

Amazing place, great food all around and good staff

Avi Balsingh

This is a must visit spot. The cheeses are grilled to perfection. By far best grilled cheese I've had.

Gautam Narang

The best grilled cheese money can buy.

Mirella Gentil

My first time there and certainly not the last . Amazing grilled cheese. Great choices!

Ron Ron

First time at Barrie last weekend and wanted to find something to eat after walking around downtown and checking out the Spirit Catcher. Without reading any reviews online, I walked by several restaurants but one particular eatery captured my attention and it was this restaurant that focused on grilled cheese sandwiches in an artsy atmosphere. I love grilled cheese sandwiches and without any hesitation, told my cousin's family to come with me and dine here for lunch! Their sandwiches have funny pun names and I ordered the "Dillicious" which consisted of havarti cheese, fresh dill, sun-dried tomatoes, caramelized onions, spinach, and I added an egg for an extra dollar (gotta get my protein in for the day!). They also serve chips or salad on the side, I opted for the salad, which was really good. Beets and pine nuts were sprinkled on top of it that brought out the flavor than your usual boring green salad. The bread tasted like whole grain wheat and was nicely buttered up with a crispy toasted texture without it being burnt. The cheese melted beautifully and stretched with every bite, and each bite was so flavorful that got my eyes seeing the artwork on the restaurant's walls jumping out at me to take a bite from my mouthwatering sandwich too (okay, maybe the last part didn't really happen, but the interior design of this restaurant is something to appreciate while dining here. Their creativity is definitely worth coming to see for yourself when visiting this city). I think I was chatting with the owner of this restaurant (I didn't get his name before he left work for the day) and he told me his sister helped paint some of the cool artwork you'll see when you dine here. Our conversation actually helped spark an old interest of mine regarding art--I'm going to get that sketchpad you mentioned! Customer service was also superb! My little 6-year-old niece is afraid of bugs and he was able to gently capture the bee that sneaked into the restaurant and released it back outside. So kind of him as he tried to calm my niece down as bees are friends of us, humans. Definitely coming back here when I visit Barrie again! Thank you for the awesome dining experience!

Gord Dinsmore

The Cuban is Friggin delicious. I totally recommend.

Brad Buckborough

Good food, very tasty but not very cheap or fast contrary to other reviews I read.

Leah Sheridan

From the mustard bottle soap ketchup can plants and its down home rustic charm to the food omg the food though. Who would have thought you needed a grilled cheese this bad ......but you do... you really do need to come sit converse play a game ....yep play food for thought and eat good food. Then the staff great are super friendly and great timing!!@@

If you're in Downtown Barrie you owe it to yourself to stop in and at least read the menu. I had the Monte Cristo and a Nutella/peanut butter smoothie. Simply divine!

Katie Power

Love, love, love! What a great little spot! It was hard to choose between all the delicious selections, but I went with a mac and cheese with bacon and onion. So tasty! And the staff was really kind and plesent. Decor was really neat too!

TIEDefender2nd

I remember eating there back in summer night of 2013, drunk as hell with my friends. I was really craving for some decent night snack when I saw the sign to this place, I was like, "holy smokes, just what I needed!" Now, I don't remember what I ordered since I was so wasted, but my tastebuds was dancin with joy. Oh and very lovely staff I remember that fo sho! Me n' ma friends had blastin fun that nite. Always rememberin with nostalgia...

The Jalepeño Popper grilled cheese is the most heavenly thing I've ever tasted. I can't even deal.

Alex Charlton

Amazing selection of creative grilled cheese sandwiches. Hip and comfortable atmosphere. Good value.

Melissa Osmond

Love stopping here for lunch, amazing sandwiches served by great people.

Bryan Crisp

Loved the food options, service and decor. The grilled cheese and sandwiches were good but not over the top. You simply have to check out the bathroom!

Amanda Caldwell

The atmosphere is eclectic and calm. The proprietor is just the same. I brought a person I support and the gentleman was both kind and genuine. He engaged us both in conversation and made us feel welcome. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy the space and the wonderful food.

Tom Laine

Great service, wicked food

Beck Mitchell

Delicious!! Thanks ❤️

Trina Krystal

Such a unique restaurant with absolutely incredible service! It’s cozy and eclectic and the menu is mouth watering. Vegan? No problem! Gluten free? They have your back! Delicious food and so many smiles. You can’t go wrong with a homemade soup and grilled cheese sandwich from here!

Tyrel Waldner

Great little place for delicious grilled cheese sandwiches.

Isaac

Not great, slow service

It's my favorite little place for great twists on a comfort food classic. Always great quality food and friendly service. It has a real fun and homey atmosphere with a big dash of whimsy

Jeff Imbo

Love it , the food tastes great.

heather A

Amazing owned place. Owner welcomed us, service was excellent and the food was delicious, simple and cheap. Best place for lunch if you're in Barrie. Approx. 10 bucks a person!

Gerry Tourigny (Gerry)

Always amazing food and service! The only problem is, there is so much to choose from! Check this place out.

Andrea R

Delish

Janet Ellis

Comfort food in a comfortable place.

Philippe Rioux

Only downside, no beers

Tim Deremo

Cozy little place for kicked up grilled cheese!

sarah farr

Used to walk from highschool to this place every Thursday with friends. It is and always has been a charming place, with great sandwiches and lots of character. I recommend the “Mac n Chi” or “the spirit catcher”.

Gwen Crow

They know their cheese, they know it well. But the service is very slow.

Tracy Haesler

Yummy food!

Matt Banks

Sandwich was great, service from one of the staff was downright rude.

Emma Howard

Delicious artisanal grilled cheese in the heart of downtown Barrie! There are tons of options of different grilled cheeses on the menu, and you can taste how quality the ingredients are :) love this place!

Scott Little

I love this place. I'm up from Toronto to Barrie about once a month on business. I make sure to arrive at lunch time, because these grilled cheese sandwiches make my heart swoon!! Nice people too!

Tanya Flanagan

Wild place! Amazing food.Geogeous, fun. Good service.

Tina Kennedy

Yummy gluten free (safe) grilled cheeses and amazing homemade roasted tomato soup (when available) Comfort food to the max!

Carolina Ng

I came here, first time, with my 9 year old son for a quick lunch on a Friday at about 12pm. I gotta say the place is very tiny but extremely quaint. One server was able to run the busy lunch time. My son ordered the basic grilled cheese with bacon and pepperoni, it came with kettle chips and a big slice of pickle, and a mango and peach smoothie. I loved the fact that the smoothie came with a big spoon rather than a plastic straw, kind of like a soda shop style. I ordered the spirit catcher sandwich (it had loads of avocado in it) and the tomato soup. The sandwiches were very tasty and mine specially very filling. None of us were able to finish our meals we had to take it to go. The tomato soup was really good, it was simply flavorful my son and I loved the spices in it. This is definitely comfort food with a special artsy twist. The place itself radiates good vibes, the server and the owner were great. I am very happy I visited and will definitely come back. **2021 edit** Apparently this place changed owners sometime during the plandemic . I visited when the new owner took over. The sandwiches are still good but unfortunately the tomato soup was way too salty and very different form the original one. I believe they are licensed now to sell alcoholic beverages.

Kyle Foisy

Good thing I don't live close to this place, I'd be eating here everyday

Tabitha Mann

Food was AMAZING Personal preference for kettle chips over potatoes ???? ???? ???? ???? Quick service

Matthew Brydson

Are you kidding me??? Why isn't this in Toronto?? I'd be a weekly customer. Fantastic in every way, wonderful styling, amazing food, selections are out of this world. Friendly staff and incredible value. Had the Mac&Cheese, wonderful. Keep up the great work, you are loved.

Natane Roy

Casual, low-key atmosphere and absolutely delicious sandwiches! Definitely worth a visit!

Little Ghost

Greek goddess was so phenomenal and unique. No one I have ever met has ever had the gourmet experience that i have when it comes to trying new grilled cheese. This place is truly special. If the staff doesn't close the store for no reason, or the owners just dont feel like showing up for work. You'll be like me and stand at the front of the building hoping one day they will stay open for longer than that rare one day. But the food was much better than the service. Challenge me, owner. If you've changed your ways, I'll be happy to come by and try my favourite grilled cheese again.

Marcelo Marin

Really tasty

Travis Rienguette

Great service, food, prices and art.

Zara Fonte

The food was great and gluten free bread was one of the best ones, however we were disappointed with the customer service. If the service was better it would have been 5 stars

Adrian Kelly

Great food and really nice people. Couldn't recommend any more highly.

Christine Joseph

Small, cozy restaurant with a fun vibe. A few tables out front on Dunlop St. Interesting combinations and toppings to your regular grilled cheese. More filling than you would think. Their complimentary water comes in a nice glass bottle with a sprig of rosemary and lemon. Awesome touch and so good! Very friendly. A reasonable lunch option.

Liquid Fluid

The place is a bit expensive but the food there is really good

Joe Belleghem

Very friendly atmosphere offers a variety of gourmet Sandwiches. Try the phone.

Sarah M.

Ordered an hour ago (the grilled cheese with jalapeños, bacon qnd cream cheese). Mouth watering combo. Completely in heaven. They always give perfection whenever I order.

Alexander Pierce

Best grilled cheeses anywhere! Lots of variety to choose from.

Lisa Mckenzie

Could only get better if I was enjoying a beer too!

Angel cake

There food is rlly good

Nadine McCallen

quirky, relaxed, and consistent eating experience, and the same can be said about the owner. the soup is always steller. the coffee is caffeinated. the decor is charming. the sandwiches are unpretentious, well made, and hit the spot.

Dacoda Vermeulen

Absolutely amazed with the service and food quality, you get plenty of food for a decent price! The staff were also super friendly and respectful. Definitely coming again!

Blair Jolie

Love this place, friendly service and great grilled cheese sandwiches!

Corin Payie

Lovely staff. Great small place to pop in for a cheesetastic super hearty snack!

Andrea Licznerska

The Cheesiest of Grilled Cheeses! Choose from an eclectic assortment of Gourmet Grilled Cheeses, throw in a funky restaurant vibe with cool wait staff and unique art and you have yourself by far one of the coolest little restaurants in Barrie. Conveniently located on the main street downtown with loads of parking just steps away, makes stopping in for lunch very easy. This is definitely not your ordinary Grilled Cheese!

Keith B

Amazing place friendly and inviting. Also when you pay you can donate some cash and it is used in a helping feed those that are down on there luck.

Plague Root

I have ordered from them twice now. I absolutely love the value of food. I just ordered the Popper and it's delicious. I highly suggest that you try here and support them! Keep up the good work!

Martin Flook

Yummy! Best grilled cheese. Lots of creative flavours I recommend.

Anahita Belanger

My favorite grilled cheese shop ever! So many delicious combinations to choose from. It's a warm and eclectic atmosphere with the most delicious soups and a very unique drink selection.

Lord Donglinger

Best shop ever. Best service and staff.

John Mitropoulos

This is the best of comfort food, I enjoyed the Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese, which works a lot better than you can imagine, and I also shared the Wake and Bacon egg and bacon grilled cheese. Both were excellent, but I'll be going back for the Mac and Cheese. The only reason there aren't five stars here is due to a slight cleanliness issue, would have preferred that the tables were cleaned properly, and the salad on the side, while tasty, was sort of slopped on the plate. Otherwise, you should definitely try this place, you won't be disappointed!

Ryan Bridge

Great selection of different takes on grilled cheese sandwiches, all worth trying! Relaxed atmosphere. Hours are limited as apparently grilled cheeses are not acceptable dinner foods...

Ian Capaldi

Was brought here by a friend one day not knowing about it, was very pleased. Will definitely return!

James Friesen

Loved the food! Such a wide variety of grilled cheese, have no complaints and would recommend.

Linda Zampini

AMAZING

Heather Rae

Great food, lots of alternate options for dietary restrictions. Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan, they're very accommodating and it's all so yummy!

Troy Fay

Amazing food; friendly staff; fast service.

Laura Ball

Very cool place, with a great selection of grilled cheese sandwiches to choose from. I just wish they had more regular hours...

Kyra Wuttunee

My Mac n’ cheese grilled cheese sandwich was delicious! The decor is really cool inside. Super tasty place for comfort homestyle cooking. Dessert was good too!

Michele Miller

Good sandwiches

Marcy Barbaro

This is soul food at its finest. It takes a lot of creativity and Artistry to make so many different variations on a grilled cheese sandwich. Love Randy, and all the staff. And thankfully there is a vegan grilled cheese sandwich too! I highly recommend The Tomavo!!

Jenica Mckenzie

Cool environment, great service amazing grilled cheese.

Mark Letheren

Perfect grilled cheese sandwich and soup. Perfect for a cold wet Sunday

Zelda

for this price man the grilled cheese could’ve been better

Isaac Bell

Awesome place

Jackie Taylor

Awesome grilled cheese!

Maxwell Choka

Amazing spot. Bring your friends, bring your family.

Mohsin Mohamed

The best grilled cheese in town! Lots of options, friendly staff and great atmosphere. If you're in the mood for grilled cheese, this is your place to go. So delicious!! Only open until 4 though, which is the only downfall. But I guess that's because grilled cheese is more of a lunch food. Highly recommended!!!

jessica doupe

The new owner really cleaned up the place and made it feel much more open and welcoming. The sandwiches are delishious, with such a variety! So many options for everyone, from meat lovers to vegans! Even gluten-free Sandwiches and sides available. House made soups made daily as well as fresh buttertarts and gluten-free brownies! You really can't go wrong checking this place out!

Samantha Hunt

Came here after class with some college friends for lunch. Felt really welcomed by staff and had a wonderful time. The place is very nice and there water has nice mint leaves. ????

Zach Anaya

Great little place with a tasty assortment of grilled cheese to choose from. Not hugely fancy, obviously, and everything hits the right notes, from the decor to the food.

Rob Piche

Loved it.

Ann Marie Leis

I came across by chance in 2016 summer. I sat outside to eat on the sidewalk patio, and when they brought my water to go with my amazing sandwich; it was a chilled milk bottle style water, with fresh herbs & lemon in the bottle that was dripping with condensation. So cold & refreshing. The sandwiches are amazing, so hard to choose which to eat. I've been a few times already; and even though I don't live in Barrie, I seek this place out to get a good lunch for a great price. And the staff are very kind and helpful too.

Zachary Gillespie-Rogers

Great place for any occasion. A quick bite on your lunch hour, or take the kids out for lunch. They have a lot of fun and unique grilled cheese on their menu, friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Doug Schmidt

Had lunch this while working in the area, many grilled cheese types to choose from . I went for the the popper ! Cream cheese, Canadian cheddar, Jalapenos and oh yah Bacon !! So good, just a small quait place with some great Sammies.

Janet Gage

Yummiest grilled cheese ever.

Vanessa Stone

Super yummy! Great customer service! :)

Heather Dix

First time for lunch. Eclectic and cool, so many grilled cheese sandwiches to choose from. Fresh ingredients, different combinations - great spot for lunch!

Diane Rodgers

Our granddaughter recommended this place to us. We were not disappointed the service was good the food excellent the choice of different grilled cheese was amazing. Will definitely go back,

Jill MacLennan

The best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever eaten by far. Great place , small but very cozy and the staff are fantastic. I can hardly wait to go back . Went with a friend and she also said it was to die for. Nice to see a small local business make such great simple sandwiches. They do a lot for the community also.

aerogrl87

My favourite restaurant downtown Barrie. The sandwiches are amazing and original, and the house salad is a light and refreshing compliment to the fulfilling sandwich. My favourite is The Pierogi!

Gwen Roy

This place is amazing ! if they had more stars i would give them !. food is out of this world tasty! and prices are pretty decent! the soups are just as good..... Seriously COME here if you havent already... Huge variety of foods!

Mortgage Wellness

5 stars++. These guys are so accommodating to children. Great food to boot!!

Lucy Higgins

It's a hidden gem.... Great price:)

Gavin Trudeau

Food was good service was good felt it was a littel exspensive for a sandwich but it was a really good sandwitch. Tase buds are not complaining but my wallet was

Laura Robert

Stopped by for lunch and was amazingly surprised! Had the Green Goddess grilled cheese with a side salad. It was delicious, and that is an understatement. The grilled cheese was crispy on the outside and the ingredients were high quality, the salad was delicious too with a honey vinaigrette. I also asked for tap water and got a pretty jug that had mint leaves soaking in it, just such a great touch. Best part was that it was all under $10! I'll be back often!

Brent Ste-Croix

Great Food, Great Atmosphere, very friendly place to have a delicious sandwich.

E.N. Ingram

The food was good and very creative. The decor was super fun. The service was a little bit lacking, and it took over an hour to get two sandwiches and the place was only half full. We didn't mind, we had a great time with the food trivia cards at the table!

Ben Feiner

Staff is great

Jonathan Phillips

Great food, owner was nice and attentive. Highly recommended!

Sarah

Average grilled cheese sandwich, and the kettle cooked chips were ruffles potato chips. Edit: It was on Saturday, I ordered the original grilled cheese and what I assumed would be kettle cooked chips since that's what the menu stated (which I was looking forward to), what I got was plain ruffles chips. Atleast offer chip dip if you're charging people $13 for a cheese sandwich and a handful of plain ruffles chips.

Kristina Vander Klooster

As good as the food looks, it tastes even better! Great service as well :)

Geoff Rastas

I love grilled cheeeeese.

Lindsay Regan

I do not appreciate getting bacon on our sandwich when we specifically asked for no bacon. We are vegetarians. Absolutely disgusting when I paid $16 for it.

Lea Kennedy

We arrived close to closing hoping we still would get served. We welcomed warmly and asked to sit. I LOVE THIS PLACE. Nice and crunchy oooy goooy goodness thanks boys would go again in a heartbeat.

Lou Mack

I love this restaurant! Not only is the food good, but the service is friendly too! I appreciate the homemade soups and delicious salad vinaigrette. If you're in, splurge on a butter-tart and contribute to the Suspension Program to help feed our community. Highly recommend this social eatery.

Marjorie Page

The owner opens up the restaurant late for the Santa parade and it has become a family tradition that we love. Great service. Super cool atmosphere. Delicious and innovation grilled cheese creations. It's a win everytime! I highly recommended this place. #grilledcheeselove

Arlene Carson

Stopped for lunch on the way north to cottage country. Comfort food to the nth degree. These guys rock the grilled cheese and make a killer salad as well! Worth the drive from Niagara.

Leonard Day

Server was great. Was able to look after all tables. Food was very good.

catrina giamprini

Such a good little spot !!!

James Morison

I'd definitely go here again: good food, clean, really nice staff. Right now the reviews for this location are at 4.7 stars, for those that are a bit more critical like myself I'd put this place between a 3.8 and 4.2 – docked points for food taste actually. I mean it's good, but not 4.7 good. I hope that's fair to say.

leacy mck

Amazing sandwiches and soup. Staff are the best! Kid friendly also....

Michael S

A quaint local eatery that delivers what's promised -- great variations on the classic grilled cheese. Staff are friendly and quick. My favourite thing about this place is that you can purchase coffee/meals "in advance" for others who need to eat but may not have money which is a great way to support the Community. Restaurant needs a deep-clean but I understood that that is underway. I hope that a change in ownership doesn't change this wonderful Barrie gem.

Matt McDonald

Grilled cheese won't ever be the same at home. Awesome spot for something different to eat. 1st time visiting and definitely will be back. The cuban with salad was delicious as was the club and the hot slice was devoured by my 3 year old son. Unique spot with friendly staff.

T M777

Amazing sandwiches! gotta try the Spirit catcher, unreal!

Bruce Schneider

Brilliant customer service, very friendly staff, and a super intriguing menu! Thank you! We'll be back!

Wild Lotus Floral Design

Amazing food. Love this place!!!

First visit and impressed by the concept and variety of sandwiches offered. I had the Cuban (Very good) and will return for the “Cdn Breakfast Sandwich” next visit (Looked very interesting). As mentioned, it is a funky spot, with friendly and helpful owner and staff. Food was nicely prepared and very tasty. Limited but nice mix of menu items including soup. A good spot to drop in for some comfort food. Try it…you will like it. Thumbs up.

Great place. Food is amazing.

It was OK. The sandwich itself was delicious, but over priced for a simple grilled cheese. The home fries weren't cooked all the way. The chili was microwaved and cold on the inside. Over priced for what you get.

Cheezy-licious

A bunch of us met up here for a Saturday lunch. We had a little bit of everything, and it was all excellent. Some of the sandwiches are very original. We were only disappointed that they ran out of the home made pop tarts before we had a chance to try them!

Little expensive, but worth it.

Great atmosphere, friendly people, great food, but way overpriced for what it is.

Picked up 3 orders of classic grilled cheese combos for myself and 2 work colleagues from the G&SF Museum for lunch a few days ago and we all agreed hands down the food was amazing! Definitely will be hitting them up again for lunch next time! Thanks again everyone! ????????

Absolutely wonderful sandwiches, perfectly cooked. Huge variety, will make any modifications you ask for. Soup is also excellent, great friendly service. The one star review must be from a competitor. Fully deserves 5 stars!

You have GOT TO treat yourself to a meal here. Very best grilled cheese sandwiches EVER! Incredible variety from which to choose. We tried the Green Goddess and the Tomavo and shared half + half. Both were soooo delicious. The atmosphere is totally relaxed and welcoming. The decor is eye-catching, to say the least, and you should play a round or two of "Food for Thought" while you chow down. I wish I could give this place SIX stars out of five!

Jai Adams

Absolutely AMAZING. Decently priced, delicious no matter what sandwich you try, adorable restaurant with a lot of character. If you are in Barrie, you must eat here!!

Kyle Brown

Delicious grilled cheese and salad, good atmosphere.

Andrea Jordan

The sandwiches are great, but the service is super slow.

Oh lordy, this place is seriously to die for!! I will never look at a plain grilled cheese the same again.

Beth Schaffner

Loved the pieroghie grilled cheese. The kettle chips were nice and crunchy. Best suprise was the craft diet cola in bottles. Amazing!! I look forward to going again the next time I am visiting Barrie.

Jennifer Parker

The best grilled cheese in the world. Hugely creative selection, I particularly love the Parisian, with Brie, pear, and carmelized onions. But last week I had the sandwich with cream cheese and jalapeño. Extra jalapeño! You can also have a basic grilled cheese, or build your own. There were five of us and I was able to make a reservation the day before. My favourite go-to for a casual breakfast or lunch!

JayFouston

The best grilled cheese in barrie by far. Staff is extremely polite and helpful. They have a ton of delicious options with great tasting soup to back it up. A must have if in barrie.

Absolutely a hidden gem in Barrie.

Wow, I guess people from Barrie have it really bad elsewhere, if this place gets so highly rated. Reality check people. Disgusting Mint water welcomes you here. Tomato soup from a can would have been better... the “chefs” taste buds must really be off, and granulated/pureed texture ( unpleasant to the palate) with pretty much no spice or seasoning. Ordinary, if not burnt, bread for the grilled cheese, and nothing spectacular that can’t be easily done better at home. Really scratching my head with this one as I felt duped by the literal false advertisement of this places’ prowess. Add it all to a sour strawberry banana milkshake... Left hungry. Gets two stars because of nice decorations on the wall, but not worthy of much else

Jaimie Boysen

The mac n cheese grilled cheese is a must try!!!!

Jacob Chapman

Always super friendly and AMAZING grilled cheese!

Stacey Stewart

Response from owners to sort out issues with our order tonight. Very quick response as well. I don't believe it was their fault after hearing their reply. Seems to be more of an issue with skip the dishes. Thank you for taking the time to read the reviews and act. Appreciate it a lot. Edited accordingly. Thank you.
