The American has a ton of vegetarian options , but a crowd favorite is the mushroom Gruyere grilled cheese , with roasted potatoes , melted leeks , and caramelized onions all tucked inside. Read more

Best of

Get the American Dip (Garlic herb sonoma jack, roast beef , roasted potatoes , chive butter on levain; with horseradish cream dipping sauce ) or the Mac N Cheese Grilled Cheese . Yes, you read that right. Read more

The service is great. Grilled cheese selection is top notch. You got to have the veggie breakfast only served in the mornings! Grilled mac n cheese would have been better with more chedder personally

SFist

This place is known for some amazing grilled cheese sandwiches if that’s your idea of a great lunch . Go for the Cubano with lots of cheese variations ! Read more

Elliott Poppel

Jalapeno Popper . Local chevre , Monterey jack , apricot-jalapeno relish and Zoe’s applewood bacon on levain bread . It's creamy, spicy , smoky with a hint of sweetness; this sandwich is tough to beat.

Daniel Stansell

Grilled cheese and beer . And some A+ tomato soup . Go for it, and grab happy hour if you can! One of the low-key deals in the city .

Martin Hecko

The half sandwich/soup is the way to go. I recommend the gruyere/mushroom with the smoked tomato soup .

Saumil Mehta

Amazing tomato soup (if you're into that sort of thing), excellent jalapeno popper , great morning oatmeal , horrendous entrepreneur-unfriendly lunch lines . Don't bother going if you work a lot.

Donia

Long lines during lunch . Take advantage of the online (chow now), Facebook, & iPhone app ordering. Especially good if your ordering for the office . Just pick up and go!

Anton Shuster

Get the mushroom Gruyere grilled cheese , with roasted potatoes , melted leeks , and caramelized onions all tucked inside. Add in some smoky tomato soup or quinoa salad for a hearty meal .

Jimmy Lu

Their breakfast sandwiches and tomato soups are great. Haven't had their Mac n cheese grilled cheese yet, but that will be next time.

San Francisco Magazine

If you have time for the lunchtime wait, order the Jalapeno Popper : goat cheese , Monterey Jack , jalapeno-apricot relish , and smoky bacon between slices of crispy-soft levain from Pinkie's.

Nathan Pollak, who co-owns the American Grilled Cheese Kitchen, lied under oath in 2012 to help get me convicted of a felony.

Fresh comfort food with beer and wine ; really, what more could you want? Well , having them be open LATE would be AMAZING, but won't press my luck...

All of the grilled cheese options rock, if you get there before noon, get the breakfast sandwich (with an egg ). Wanna try a sandwich and a soup ? Get the Red, White and Blue Special. Read more

One of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had. I know it's a simple concept, but they put a great twist on it.

The mac n cheese grilled cheese is absolutely delicious! Slap some bacon on it, get tomato soup on the side, and finish it off with a beer .

板津 魁彦

Veggie breakfast grilled cheese sandwich plus jalapeño biscuits are the best!

Rosanna Yuen

Friendly staff . Love the tomato soup .

Adam Beck

Add 15 mins to how long you think this will take. This is the only place where there can be a line out the door and the guys behind the counter will still move like a snail and stop to chat w/friends.

lynn friedman

it's all about the cheese - add a jalepino pepper for some kick

Andrew Lam

Solid grilled cheese (Piglet is my fave), soups , yummy in-house sodas , nice selection of draft beers . Extended hours on Giants home game days.

The tomato bisque is like no other. I would go here more but the lunch lines can be insane.

Adam Mintz

Foghorn Leghorn is amazing! So is the American Dip . Quick to order, but takes FOREVER to get your food

Get hooked on the biscuits they make each morning. Enjoy jalapeño cheddar or mushroom garlic .

Asiyat Tsalikova

All sandwiches are amazing but I'm just in love with their caramelized onion cookies

The breakfast Classic, accompanied by a cookie & coffee , is an unbeatable start to the day.

I paid $12 on a freakin cheese sandwich I could make better at home, and now I feel an entitled POS (and still hungry) ????
