Grater Grilled Cheese

Great spot for grilled cheese. Nice thick bread perfectly toasted. Really like their new breakfast menu but I wish it could be all day because I love eggs. Tried their:Bacon Melt - I really liked it. On par with more egg focused places. LA pastrami - bomb pastrami grilled cheese. Really like the chunks of pickle in it Breakfast Mac - it was okHash rounds - really good. Would prefer some sort of loaded breakfast hash rounds. Definitely pull up if you're in the mood for a good grilled cheese!

We came here during the week, on a Wednesday for lunch and there was no one in the restaurant so we got to order right away. We ordered the Lobster Grilled Cheese and the Philly Grilled Cheese with a side of fries. When I went to go find a table, I wasn't satisfied with the table seating. Seats could use a little TLC and the dining area is a bit too intimate for my liking, so we settled to sit on the bar stools, close to the register which can be uncomfortable. Our food came out in good timing. There was lots of flavor in my Lobster Grilled Cheese and I especially liked the fries.

Really great breakfast/lunch spot if you're in the area! We got their hash brown rounds which probably was my favorite thing, I could have eaten the whole order cause I love hash browns. We also got their Bacon Morning Melt, which is a really great solid, hearty breakfast sandwich. We chose to get it with the sriracha aioli, I believe, and it was really good. Their L.A. Pastrami Grilled cheese was bomb too, I love pickles and it had pickles inside the sandwich. Good amount of pastrami too!They were pretty busy with orders when we arrived, so we waited a little while for our food but it was worth the wait! They also came by and gave us cookies because of the wait and that was so thoughtful and nice. Great customer service.Will definitely be back!

The food was great but especially the tomato basil soup! It was delicious! The staff is nice and go above and beyond to make sure you enjoyed your food. It's a small place but nice for lunch with a friend.

Solid place for grilled cheese! I would have given if a five it my sandwich had way too much sauce on it, which kind of overwhelmed the other ingredients. Got the Chicken Pesto Grilled Cheese and was pleasantly surprised to find that the chicken was seasoned. The pesto aioli tasted like mayo and there was a lot of it, drowning the tomatoes and arugula. Overall it was a tasty sandwich.My husband got the Mushroom & Truffle Mac and cup of tomato basil soup, both of which he enjoyed. You could even taste the truffle oil in the mac!Will definitely come back again!

Located in a plaza with ample parking and tables indoors and outdoorsQuirky and mismatched decor but the food and service itself was great and pretty quick too. I got the birria Mac and was expecting it more red but it was still a light yellow color with birria meat, don't think consommé was incorporated - good regardless. They also have Happy Hour deals 2-6pm, 15% off mac and cheese and I think sandwiches? Some other options too

4.5/5 stars Build the grilled cheese of your dreams?! Yes please! I customized my grilled cheese with pesto aioli, arugula, tomato, onions, mushrooms, and lobster/krab ($17). It was huge! It was pretty cheesy, and the aioli sauce made it so tasty! It was a little greasy/heavy on the sauce and could have had more lobster/krab, but it was a very satisfying grilled cheese

It was my first time here, and I ordered the mac & cheese. I asked for an extra fork since I was sharing, and they told me it would be $.50--seriously? That just rubbed me the wrong way. On top of that, the service was terrible. Definitely not worth my time, and I won't be coming back.

3.5 starsGrater Grilled Cheese has multiple locations in the greater San Diego area and this one is located minutes from Irvine Spectrum. They have seating inside as well as lots of outdoor seating that is shared with nearby restaurants.CARNE ASADA FRIES ($13.99) - I liked the crispy fries and melted cheese. The jalapeños added a nice spice; while they're not at the level of the ones you would get at Mexican restaurants, this were decent. 4/5LOBSTER MAC AND CHEESE ($13.99) - This was cheesy but I thought it could've used more spice or salt so I ate some jalapeños from the fries with this. It could've also used more lobster. 3.5/5PHILLY GRILLED CHEESE ($13.99) - we thought this was just okay. 3/5NY PATTY MELT GRILLED CHEESE ($13.99) - we both liked this one better than the philly grilled cheese, mainly because of the garlic aioli. 3.5/5The grilled cheeses were okay and surprisingly our favorites were the non-grilled cheese dishes. The sourdough bread was fine and handled all the toppings in-between but the flavors just didn't pop out to us.

Nice little grilled cheese place! Got the Philly cheese steak grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup and mac and cheese. Everything is fresh and hot. I like that there's customization and a set menu for ease of ordering. Parking is a bit busy but nice place to eat for lunch time. Friendly service as well :)
