Cheesy Express

I got the Moms classic on sourdough and my BF got the spicy turkey on rye. We were both very happy. Small place with good food. I love a good grilled cheese. Nice staff as well.

If you’ve ever been a grilled cheese fan, this place is basically heaven on earth. Friendly staff, quick turnaround and custom sandwiches that are the best I’ve ever had.

Was done here for vacation, stopped by after leaving Belmont. It was an awesome meal, the sandwiches were quick to come out and they tasted amazing, the price may be a little higher than what you would pay at some other places but it is right next to Belmont and the beach so it makes sense.

This place is amazing; it’s definitely one of the best food places in the area. I got the bbq and Mac sandwhich. The bbq was delicious and the macaroni was also delicious and the bread was also delicious so overall it was pretty delicous. Best grilled cheese I ever had and boy do I know a thing or two about grilled cheese.

Best grilled cheese in san diego. Well, actually i dont know about the grilled cheese (yet! Gotta come back for some mac!) but their dessert sandwiches are AMAZING. If you can find parking its great and if not it’s worth the walk. Gotta come back soon. I hope they get a ton of business now with summer on the way!

My little family stopped by here and this place deserved a review! Super friendly customer service. We asked the cashier what he recommended and he stirred us in the right direction! The BBQ and Mac was to die for literally it way delicious. The BBQ was so good it could be sold separately. My husband loved the chili cheese melt and my daughter gobbled up the Mac and cheese. This is a must try!

So when they say cheesy they mean cheesy.
The service was great the guy at the register was very friendly and helpful. Good was ok I love cheesy but this was way too much cheese.

This place is for ultimate cheese lovers like myself. It’s like our little slice of heaven. The place is clean, the vibe is laid back and the employees are very accommodating. Try the BBQ N Mac!

Really upset about my experience especially since they have so many good reviews.
First of all the service was AWFUL, weren’t friendly when I walked in, and when I was ordering I asked for a mac and cheese grilled cheese and she could process what I was asking, then couldn’t figure out how to ring me up. I was also over charged now that I look at the menu again
The sandwich its self wasn’t too good either. Not bad, but far from good. I am pretty sure the ‘mac and cheese’ are just noodles, then they put the cheese on each side of the bread. The pasta its self was cold, and the sandwich in general was not much warmer (I took it to go, but ate it a minute later by the beach-​not enough time for it to get this cold)
over all, I dont see myself going back and would not recommend it to anyone

Was here spending a beach day in Mission Beach saw the sign «Grilled Cheese» I mean you gotta stop in a place that is all about Grilled Cheese right ?! I had the JD and my daughter had the Bbq Mac and cheese, Yes they put pulled pork and Mac and cheese inside the grilled cheese sandwich!. Both were very excellent !
Appreciate whoever it was that had the balls to open up a grilled cheese restaurant and nice to see the it doing great !

Amazing! Came in and ordered mamas favorite and of course we were «satisfied». However, we saw a #1 BBQ Mac n cheese pass our table mid meal, so we ordered that… Couldn’t be more pleased with the balance of the sandwich and the flavors were absolutely perfect! Come and get yourself one!

Dang. I really like this place. It definitely lives up to its name: gourmet grilled cheese. (Well, melts if you want to get technical)
I ordered the Mac n BBQ melt as well as the Smores melt and split with my friend.
Mac N Bbq: So yummy. I totally recommend. Ugh. Where to start. Standard bread slices I guess. But the way they pressed it. The bread becomes all crunchy and toasted on the outside. I need to learn this magic. The bbq pulled pork totally pulled it together with the Mac n Cheese and caramelized onions. totally a sucker for it.
Smores Melt: eh. I wouldn’t recommend. I couldn’t taste the brioche at all. There was just a ton of chocolate and Nutella. The graham cracker that was stuffed in the inside was all soft from all the marshmallows and chocolate. Don’t get me wrong, it was still yummy. I love Smores. But that’s all it was to me. Smores smushed between two slices of bread. LOL.
Service: awesome service. Guy ringing us up was hilarious and totally made me smile.
Location: awesome location. Right next to Belmont park and the beach. Totally a safe zone. Park in the park area. Street parking totally sucks.
Overall, gave this place five stars because I’d go here another time to try the other melts. YOU MUST GO.

JD melt was a delicious take on grilled cheese –Korean BBQ and gooey cheese? Yes, please!
Even though I was so full from the sandwich, I was interested to try a desert sandwich, too (the pictures on their menu were calling to me and, being pregnant, I just couldn’t resist!) I ordered the S’mores with fresh strawberries and it was magnificent chocolate marshmallow deliciousness!
It seems like it could be simple and easy to make on your own but these sandwiches were better than what I can make at home — or maybe it’s easier to ignore the calories that way ;) In any case, there is just something magical about letting someone else create the cheesy goodness that is grilled cheese.

My first experience here was absolutely full of deliciousness and great service.
I had the #1 which consisted of mac and cheese with BBQ pork and the #4 (I forgot what it had). These 2 items are their most populars and I can definitely see why !!! I’m a real picky eater but I was hooked the moment I took my first bite. Oh and don’t forget to grab some tomato soup too !!!
The sandwhiches were nice and crispy well toasted on the outside filled with a good amount of whatever it is you want in it, really BIG too. The tomato soup was creamy and light but sweet, well balanced.
The guy who was working by himself was super friendly and noticed he has a lot of regulars. ++ The macaroons they have were pretty good, not sure if I’d brag about them but ehh …
TIP: parking can be a hassle… perhaps park at belmont and just walk. It’s only like a 5 min walk anyway :)

Beautiful fried carbs. I ordered the BBQ mac n’ cheese with fries. The sandwich was a flavorful heart attack. The fries must be baked in old-​fashioned lard because wow are they tasty. This is pure comfort food.
I did not know I could finish such a gluttonous feast so easily; I am now slightly ashamed of myself.
If I was drunk at 4 a.m., this would have been a godsend.

Came here for first time a few weeks ago since it was very close to beach house I was staying at for weekend and it was on my list to try. I’m a very big grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup fan and wanted to try this place out.
I had some of all the fan favorites and since I was ordering for a group of ten of us, I spent about $ 120 on grilled cheese and tomato soup. the sandwiches were decent but the tomato was a little too watered down for my taste. Would I come back? If I was in the neighborhood yes I would but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. The search continues for the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich.

We ordered the Mom’s Classic and added bacon to split after a day of skating around Mission Beach. The sandwich was tasty but lacked enough cheese… and for a place called «The Cheesy Express»…that’s exactly what I expected; cheese. Other than that, it was flavorful and the bread had a perfect grill to it. I would try it again as a quick snack

Had the JD melt and the cheesy bacon mac n cheese. The JD melt was delicious. The carmelized onions mixed well with the kBbq and cheese! Wish there was more bbq on it or spreaded out a bit more evenly. The cheesy mac n cheese was ok. Nothing special.
Overall: quick food, fair price, and would definitely return to try another type of melt.

My friend and I had just got done swimming and was really hungry. So we Unilocaled food places near by since the food court at Belmont didn’t seem to be open (even tho it should have been, but whatever). We walked to CE and one of the staff was really friendly with us. Told us what people usually ordered since we didn’t know what was good.
We ordered BBQ N Mac, PB Melt and Chili Cheese Fries. A total of around $ 18 for all.
The food was great, maybe we were just super hungry or what but it was amazing haha. Should have ate the BBQ N Mac melt first that was all sorts of heaven in our mouth.
This is our new favorite spot now.

For Realz, Who Doesn’t Like a Tomato Bisque Soup and Classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich? Comfort food indeed.
I stopped looking just for that, some good comfort food, and that was exactly what I received. I ordered Mom’s Classic Grilled Cheese on white and a cup of Tomato Bisque soup, and both were great.
The tomato soup was quite good. In fact it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. It had a great creamy consistency and well flavored with herbs and a good choice of seasoning. No doubt I dipped my scrumptious grilled cheese sandwich into the soup until it was all gone.
Mom’s recipe for this grilled cheese was on the money. The exterior bread was perfectly buttered and then grilled to a mouth watering golden brown. The three cheeses inside were melt throughout and tasted absolutely fabulous.
The young lady who served me and made my grilled cheese, was not only talented, but a nice person all around.
Give me more cheese!
