“When I tell you they have the best Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie!!!! Oh my goodness I wish I could order some without the chocolate…. The flavor and texture…. It was crisp and chewy you can taste the butter…. Like toffee…. I first tried it on a Saturday and wanted to return the next day but they are closed on Sunday. The sandwich was ok I probably didn’t choose a good one but you can taste the cheese and butter and the turkey was real turkey not just processed lunch meat…”
“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!”
“Found this place while exploring the pedways. What a treat! The southport was very tasty. We also got the mac which was good, but glad we only got the little. It was just enough.”
“As someone with celiac I appreciate the steps taken. The food was delicious”
“~ A most pleasant surprise found in Block 37 Food Court on 108 State St.. Hunt It Down, Enjoy, Repeat. You will need to.”
“Nice sit down spot. Best breakfast I've had all week, and for the entirety of our vacation. Nice quiet spot at 9am on a Wednesday. Good variety.”
“Gayle V’s has the best Grilled Cheese I have ever had! The workers are really nice and friendly. The grilled cheese is very delicious with the best cheese pull ever. I would highly recommend!”
“Amazing. Kelly made it easy to order and the food came out quick. Absolutely, hands down, best grilled cheeses.”
“Best grilled cheese ever! My wife got the gluten free pita version and absolutely loved it as well. The sourdough they use gets a fantastic crunch, and the cheese tastes amazing. People complaining about the price need to go back to the preservative packed crap at McDonald's. Using only farmers market ingredients costs money. I'm glad to pay extra for quality.”
“Best sandwiches ever!!! I sat down and the food was quick to arrive. Delicious sandwich with the perfect melted cheese! I'd buy another plane ticket and come here just for this! Quite an ideal spot too! Lovely staff, and did I mention how good the sandwiches were? If there was an option I would rate this higher than 5 stars. Edit: recently came back and still have the same review to leave.....and all you haters can get out because Gayle is such a kindhearted soul who is passionate about her grilled cheese! If she had no clue what she was doing then why the hell am I leaving a 5 star review? The reason it's there is to show how in fact she is putting the effort, the ingredients and the time, and yet we don't realize how good the sandwich truly is.”
