I’ve been twice. The first experience was opening weekend-we ordered 6 sandwiches, a grape dessert(deliciously simple) and the fried mac and cheese. My favorite is the bruschetta. It was perfect balance of flavors. The resturant is cozy and offers indoor and outdoor seating which why I assume they ask for your number to text when order is ready- for customers sitting outside it would be difficult to manage orders without. Maybe a runner would add to customer service?

This place is amazing. It’s a little out of the way but well worth the drive. From the outside it’s a little unassuming but quite cozy inside.
Everything is ordered a la carte and might seem pricey at around $7 per sandwich but well worth it once you eat. I had the beef and cheddar and my wife had the country boy. The beef and cheddar is served on grilled sourdough which was great and had a garlic aioli that really made the sandwich. We also had the mac n cheese balls which were fenominal. This ain’t no Kraft cheese and macaroni here. This is homemade macaroni and cheese that most definitely was made with gouda. At $1.50 each I reccomend 2 for each person. You will want the second one.
The owners were on site and happy to talk about the restaurant and menu. Nice people.
If you are considering trying this place, just go ahead and do it!
Just to be clear, I have no affiliation with this restaurant nor was I paid to review it. We spend $35 on food here and felt it was well worth the review.

We really enjoyed our visit, food is reasonably priced and everything was served fresh and hot. The character of the building and decor is very welcoming. The employees were very nice and helpful. The menu has a lot of good choices that will encourage coming back to try other offerings.

I was reallllllly looking forward to this place. I was expecting a darling little restaurant in Kimmswick, MO, and so excited about the Portobello mushroom-Brie soup they advertise. I just had 85% of my stomach surgically removed a couple of weeks ago and that soup sounded deee-vine! Forget it. Didn’t have it. My only soup choices were Chicken Tortilla (my stomach screams ouch!) or some kind of tomato. NO. So, no choices for me. They do have good iced tea! Like a fool, I ordered mac-and-cheese. Can’t eat that! It’s fine if you’re 4 years old, they even serve it with a plastic spoon. It’s a nickel’s worth of poorly cooked inappropriate Cavatelli pasta with a dime’s worth of horribly bland white cheese sauce. About a cup of the earth’s cheapest food for $4.50! I was insulted! For that price I could feed spectacular M&C to the entire 8th Air Force picnic! My daughter got the “Fat Pig” sandwich, BBQ pulled pork with M&C on toast. She loved it. No chips, nothing. Not even a pickle slice. My son got the “Hot Italian” sammie. Toast with melted Mozz, pepperoni and warm marinara. In a paper basket. He was underwhelmed. The place is reasonably cute, kitschy and has an AC. Kind of an indoor version of their food truck. You order as you enter, like Macdonald’s. No table menu for those like me with vision problems. A pain if you aren’t familiar with the menu. Definitely a jeans and tee place. Disappointing for Kimmswick. Did I mention that they have good iced tea? That was my lunch.

Loved the food we got from the truck a few years ago at the first Rizz Show Eat and Treat so we had to try the brick and mortar. Equally as amazing. Great staff. Even better food. And it’s in such a cute little historic part of town!! We’ll definitely spend the weekend next time!

Best grilled cheese ever! I also had a very good salad.

If you like cheese and nice people, go to the Cheese Shack! The food is incredible, every item I’ve tried there is delicious. The lemonade is incredible. The portion sizes are just right and the prices are fair. The workers are attentive and on the few times I’ve interacted with the owner, he’s so thankful that we’ve chosen to visit his business. Please go support this adorable little business and you won’t regret it!

This menu is so hard to choose from because I want to order it all. I ordered the loaded tots and inside-out grilled cheese and a plain jane for my daughter. Both were wonderful but my daughter said hers was the best grilled cheese she’s ever had. We really enjoyed the fresh squeezed lemonade. I highly suggest you visit.

I love the idea of a restaurant focused on grilled cheese, but I expected more. The grilled cheese was good, but not amazing. The tomato soup tasted similar to campbells. The pretzels and cheese were good! My husband said the lemonade tasted watered down. We were the only customers and our food still took around 15-20 mins to arrive.

Most of the food is good. I was a bit underwhelmed with the mac n cheese balls and loaded tots though. The tots were drowning fake cheese sauce, and the bacon and green onion bits were scarce. The mac n cheese balls were a somewhat flavorless and overpriced.
One thing that’s odd about this restaurant is that they’re still trying to run it like a food truck, and it really doesn’t work. Everyone is required to order at the counter, but there’s only one register. It becomes difficult to enter and exit the building with everyone queued at the counter.
Although, I really enjoyed the Popper sandwich. I am eager to try more of their sandwiches in the future.
