What if I told you that grilled cheese sandwiches don’t have to be just a simple, sloppily assembled midnight snack with a slice of American squished between two slices of mundane, slightly-buttered toast?
At Miss Cheezious, grilled cheese sandwiches are so much more than a quick and easy, last-minute meal; they’re an art.
From creamy mac and cheese melted on sourdough to refreshing apples paired with Havarti cheese to a twist to the classic turkey and cheese sandwich, Miss Cheezious has curated the perfect menu of 17 different sandwiches to satisfy every cheesy craving.
Miss Cheezious started out as just a food truck but became so popular that it expanded into a cute little restaurant in downtown Miami. It certainly lives up to the hype; every sandwich is perfectly toasted and made with a delicious slice of gooey, melted cheese and, most importantly, love.
The buffalo chicken melt mixes the crunch and savory goodness of fried chicken with the sweet, soft, creamy texture of bleu cheese and a spicy blast of buffalo flavor. The croqueta monsieur adds a Latin feel to the traditional ham and Swiss by including a deep-fried ham-filled pastry to the classic combo, making everyone’s favorite lunchtime meal even better. The pesto melt sends taste buds straight to Italy by combining all the traditional flavors — pesto, tomatoes, provolone and parmesan — into sandwich form. The patty melt — a fan favorite — pairs a brisket patty with a creamy, zesty chorizo pimento cheese and smoky slices of bacon. Regardless of what you choose from the menu, it’s guaranteed to be “gouda.”
Even with just a quick glance of the menu, it’s clear that Miss Cheezious has everything anyone could possibly need involving bread and cheese, but if there’s something else that you’re craving that isn’t specified in the menu, you can always make your own sandwich. Including the cheese, bread and additions, gluten-free and vegan items are also available.
The sandwiches are pretty filling, but the sides are definitely worth the additional calories. While the mac and cheese is subpar, the fries are the thick, crinkle fries everyone grew up with and loves. They’re the perfect consistency — hot and crispy on the outside but soft and fluffy in the inside. They can be dipped in a large variety of sauces available at the front of the restaurant or topped with cheese and chili. Also, if you love to dunk sandwiches in soup or are craving a light starter, tomato bisque and turkey three-bean chili is also available.
While the sandwiches alone are enough to guarantee an enjoyable dining experience, the chill ambience is part of what makes this restaurant so great. When you eat at Miss Cheezious, as you watch TV indoors surrounded by succulents in bright mason jars and colorful metal chairs, or as you sit outdoors on sofas under the stars and large trees with twinkly lights, you feel like you’re hanging out with friends at home.
Guests are free to play any of the board games behind the counter — Battleship, Operation, Taboo, Cards against Humanity and many more — for as long as they want. It’s the perfect place to catch up with old friends or host a large gathering.
Miss Cheezious is the perfect location for college students with its inexpensive and creative comfort food in a laidback, fun environment. It doesn’t get any feta.
