You can't go wrong with a grilled cheese sandwich! Love all the variations of the sandwich. The beer options are good as well. Staff is very friendly. Mom pov: we came in after a walk with our stroller in the late afternoon and that worked out. The staff were super friendly to both us and our 4 month old baby. And they do have a changing station in one of the bathrooms.

This place is packed! there's a show tonight at the Vic, so I'm guessing this probably brought more business in. I saw a lot of people wearing Gothic type clothing. That's kind of the look of the show. You order from your table and then they bring you out your food. I had french fries and chicken tenders. Both were very good. The price was really decent considering this is Chicago so I was happy about that. Bathrooms are disgusting so I took some stars off for that because really, really gross.Stay off was nice but the interaction with them is so very little. If you want to refill on your drink, you have to order it from your phone. No free refills on soda.

Went here after a night out and it was still lively and super quick service despite it being late! I got the Mac and it was delicious! I would definitely come back here whenever I am in Chicago again! The place was cute and well decorated and a really fun place to be.

YUM! If you love a good grilled cheese you definitely need to try the sandwiches at Cheesie's. We had the tenderizer and the popper (which was my favorite btw) The bread is crispy and buttery which makes this sandwich so darn good. I recommend you try it with the tomato soup! Great combo. Their pizza puffs are also amazing! Lots of fillings and a soft pastry. Their chipotle sauce is the bomb! It's a unique restaurant, very chill with lots of rock music playing. They also have a lot of options for drinks which was nice! Would definitely recommend

Food was great, service was excellent, they're showing the Cubs game inside. Music was all over the place and that's not a bad thing. Definitely coming back

Let me spell out the perfect night for you - go to Karaoke at Trader Todd's and end the night with Cheesie's. The caprese grilled cheese was delicious and the tater tots were amazing as well. Definitely hits different late night but I can imagine it would be a yummy lunch if it's what you are in the mood for. Lots of seating and service was good too! Absolutely would go back.

Super fun and unique concept restaurant. The servers and bartenders were really friendly and helpful. We barely had to wait to have our order taken and we got our food out quickly. I was a little bummed they didn't take the Yelp check in deal, so that should be looked in to, but otherwise great experience. The popper sandwich was great, fries were crispy, and the drinks were good. We tried the cheeseburger shot, a shot of Jameson, pickle back, finished with a tater tot. It was a unique shot that we couldn't leave without trying, ha!

I've had a condo a block from this place for four years and have never gotten around to trying it. I'm glad I finally did. Food is terrific. I had a special of the month, the grill power sandwich, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches here. They're perfectly grilled, with perfectly melted cheese. I loved the spicy mayo that came with my sandwich.They're also great at cooking the tater tots, which were perfectly crispy. There's tableservice if you don't want it to go, and the service was fast and friendly.I'll be back.
