The Big Cheese

We had been seeing the Coming Soon sign in the window of this restaurant (4229 N. Lincoln) for awhile and now that it is open we had to give it a try.  We went on a Sunday afternoon around 12:30 and were able to easily sit down even though there are only about 10 tables in the restaurant.  The setting is completely casual and perfect for grilled cheese loving kids.  Parking out front is also super easy.

The menu at the Big Cheese has a selection of about 8-10 different grilled cheese sandwiches.  I am not a huge grilled cheese person but all of the sandwiches on the menu sounded so good I had a hard time deciding.  I had mushrooms and fontina on sourdough and it was really good.  The sandwiches come with a choice of tomato soup or parmesan fries.  I had the fries and they were also quite good.  The kids menu includes a choice of classic grilled cheese or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which comes with a choice of soup, fries, or fruit.  The sandwiches range in price from around $6 to $8.  Our food came out really fast, which is great for impatient kids.  The Big Cheese also does take out and is open for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.  It is a great new place to try for lunch if you are in the area.
