Blowing Rock Grill Cheese Cafe

This place is a hidden gem! Everything was so simple but delicious it was awesome finding a chill place off the beaten path and we could enjoy our lunch in the fresh air! I ordered the Greek and my husband got the American. The Greek was super delicious with the feta and olive combo the flavors just meshed really well with a salty and meaty tang. The American was a classic grilled cheese just done super well. The bread was delicious and perfectly toasted and perfectly stood up to the warm gooey insides without falling apart. The accoutrements and flag decorations were the perfect addition it was so cute! We'll definitely come back next time we're in the area!

Unbelievable sandwiches! Every time we're in Blowing Rock my son insists we get his favorite grilled cheese sandwich. Plus the panini sandwiches are outstanding as well for those wanting a bit more. Nice outdoor seating area and really good food!

While this small cafe is nestled off the beaten path in a quaint mall with an outdoor setting, it was a bit lacking for my taste. An entire menu dedicated to grill cheese sandwiches sounds great right? Well, in this instance, not so much. The choices may sound fun on the menu, but the flavors were lacking. My girlfriend and I tried the Italian Grilled Cheese and were left disappointed. The cheese was not melted, the bread was a bit hard and it was not worth the cost of the sandwiches. The wait time for the sandwiches was about 12 minutes (my girlfriend timed it... She likes doing that for some unknown reason) and we were the only people there. The staff is very pleasant, but overall an under-par experience compared to some of the other restaurants in the area.

If you're looking for a fresh and tasty bite away from the bustle of main street Blowing Rock, Grilled Cheese Cafe is a must stop! It's tucked away in its own courtyard, which is perfect during COVID, and there wasn't an hour wait to get seated for lunch. The owners are delightful and put so much heart into each sandwich they make. It's truly inspired grilled cheese. I had the regular French and my friend had the gluten free version. Both were so tasty with a complex flavor profile built with brie, gruyere, provolone, arugula, pear, and fig preserves. Be sure to stop by and experience grilled cheese like you never have before!

This was just right a quick gourmet sandwich at an unassuming little outdoor seating spot tucked in the back of a cute village of shoppes. Please, do yourself a huge favor and try the French Brie, Gruyère, Provolone, arugula, sliced pear, and fig preserves. My. Goodness.
