update: the loaded fries at this place are effin KILLER! Walked up after the Miami game Saturday for some beers, and rather than my typical turkey melt (or "Gobble Gooey" for those so willing to utter this), opted for what, as it turns out, contains all the best worst things together on one big platter deepfried melted and heavily bacon infused. As a parishoner of the Church of Bacon, of course I felt truely blessed. Live music again - this time, a guitar and mandolin playing cool reinterpreted covers of alt and classic rock anthems. Discovered that for your basic people watching, this may be the best patio in Cbus. Apparently, Poser-Central is right in the nearby vicinity. ;-)

I liked it. Not Skillet level grilled cheese, but tasty. Done well. Fried mac-n-cheese balls = trashy goodness. Recommended.
Would like to see this schtick as a food truck though.

I won't disagree...Skillet has the best grilled cheese ever. As a matter of fact, I haven't eaten dinner yet...

A.I think this would be totally brilliant as a food truck.
It looks like there is a grilled cheese truck coming soon....

Ate there for lunch last week. The grilled vegetarian sandwich and tomato soup were good. Good place to grab a bite to eat before or after the movies.

Not to be contrary, but I wasn't super-impressed. I found the vegetarian selections lacking (if memory serves, they were one plain grilled cheese and one with veggies); I ended up going with the Hawaiian-style one, minus ham. I was hoping the food would be along the lines of Skillet's grilled cheese or the fab pear and caramelized onions grilled cheese I've had at Bodega; this has decidedly more casual fare, so that may have been part of my disappointment.
That said, the seasoned fries were really good and the service was both friendly and speedy.

That name (not yours) is horrendous!oh i know. i avoided the place forever only because of the name.
here's what i get every time.
the chicken with... (in order of most to least)
fresh cabbage, cilantro, jalapenos, onion, tomato... and occasionally 1 other item, ussually a spice. then a little of their spicy mayo.
it's soooooooooooooo good. giving me an option of cabbage and/or romaine lettuce just made me fall in love with the place. not to mention the fresh cut herbs. during the summer months they don't restock the hot sauce shelf like they should, but i forgive them for that since it isn't that important.
