Hi came to the mall to get Magnolia Bakery items and realized we were hungry. Stopped in here since there were available tables. I had the plain grilled cheese, though I was intrigued by the mac & cheese one. I thought it was a fine sandwich but kind of boring— that’s probably my own fault since I didn’t get anything in it. I am a root beer fan and they had Filbert’s (from Chicago!) so I was a happy camper.

Love the atmosphere of this place. Live music, and nice staff. I would say the prices are a little iffy especially for portion size. I payed $13 for “The Margarita” grilled cheese. I would’ve wanted for the bread to be a little bigger in size. Was going to order the “little mac” until I saw how small it was. Could compare it to a “pup cup” from Starbucks. Overall good taste for the grilled cheese though.

Gayle V’s has the best Grilled Cheese I have ever had! The workers are really nice and friendly. The grilled cheese is very delicious with the best cheese pull ever. I would highly recommend!

It’s good! I do think the prices are way too high for what they served. The sandwiches were not stuffed up but were still tasty. The lobster is a pass because of quantity per price. The sandwiches were very flat. It felt like they were skimping a bit. The gobbler was so much better but still not filled enough to justify the price. Their soup was unique enough with flavor, but it felt like it lacked something for me. It just did not hit when you dip the sandwich in. The fries was good but nothing to write home about. Now I thought their homemade ketchup was awesome! I know that it is in Chicago loop prices, etc, but it is overpriced. If i pay 15+, I expect it to be filled. It’s definitely worth coming back to, just not very often.

For me it’s was just a snack. I had a lobster grilled cheese (only served on weekends) and the sweetie pie grilled cheese, with fries. They were both good. Lemonade was just ok, I felt it was overpriced. You decide. I recommend if You’re not starving & just need something to hold You over until you can get real meal. They did have live music which was nice. I believe You can request what songs You want to hear from a playlist. So that was cool.

Gayle V’s advertises themselves as having the best cheese sandwiches ever, and I think they are right! They have many creative and delicious choices, each hand-made. They also have hand-made chips that are wonderful and a selection of bottled sodas including a lemonade soda that was very good. The environment is clean and modern. The even had live music the day I stopped by for lunch. They are on the lower level of the mall outside entrance to the subway.

Nice sit down spot. Best breakfast I’ve had all week, and for the entirety of our vacation.
Nice quiet spot at 9am on a Wednesday. Good variety.

Returned to this place after a few years on their 10th anniversay & it did not disappoint! They’ve moved into a bigger space, but Gayle herself is still there greeting customers & taking orders! The cheese pull is still the best; I got the Classic this time, but my all-time favorite is the Southport. Price is on the higher end, but the quality & locally-sourced ingredients are worth it. Will be back more often for lunch during the work week!

Open space. Bright atmosphere. Friendly staff. Convenient location. They have a simple and tasty menu. A few grilled cheese options, but they are all delicious. Pairing it with the tomato soup is a must. The staff was very friendly and helped me with the menu. I ordered the grill cheese and tomato soup with a black cherry soda. They brought my meal to me when it was ready. The grilled cheese was Perfect. I wish I went downtown more often, because I love it here.

I’m always skeptical when a place says they make the best of what they’re offering. But Gayle wasn’t lying. The grilled cheese was perfect and so was the tomato soup. Don’t expect Campbell’s whatsoever. I got the “on the lighter side” which was perfect for a little bite before I headed home. So comforting. I hope they stay open forever!
