Pro Tip: Order off the Kids’ Menu!
No shame in the grilled cheese game. Some of our favorite versions are hiding on the kids’ menus at Beatrix, Di Pescara, L. Woods Tap & Pine Lodge, R.J. Grunts, Summer House, and Wildfire. Think perfectly toasted bread, extra melty cheese, and pure comfort in every bite.
