The Scene – This cheery sliver of a spot, bright with yellow porthole lights and bouncy pop music, attracts after-school teens, lunching theater folks and weekenders on their way out of town--all happily indulging their inner child with gooey-good grilled cheese sandwiches. Take a seat at a wood table along the walls--it's just as swift as takeaway. – – The Food – Start with the basic grilled cheese--two chubby, buttered, sourdough slices dripping with cheddar or Swiss--or one of a dozen artfully crafted sandwiches, and personalize with the likes of chewy olive bread,…

Where I feel like family

by llivehere

My all time favorite is the Tomato Cheddar soup which makes me pucker [tart] and smile [good] at the same time! I love it as much now as I did 5 years ago when they 1st open. And with just a 1/2 grilled cheddar cheese sandwich and a cup of this thick and yummy soup, I'm fully fed on just $5.43!! Go Say Cheese! Oh, and they deliver free, but you do have to spend more than $5.43!

Bad Food & Scientology Propaganda

by jpadian

I used to love this place, but the quality of food has drastically decreased. My sandwich was flavorless and burned. The soup which used to be one of my favorites tasted very watered down.

To top top it all off , I was given Scientology's Narc-o-Non pamphlet with my order. I was severely disturbed and disgusted by this. Keep your harmful cult BS to yourself. Don't force it on your patrons. I will never go back to Say Cheese, and will inform eveyone I know of the Scientology connection with the restaurant.

For the record Narc-o-non is just another way that scientology prays on people at their weakest moments to manipulate them into joining their destructive cult. I think it is pathetic and shameful. Why not just beat up old ladies and take their money too?

  • Pros: Used to be good
  • Cons: Bad food with a terrible message

Disgusting.

by joviandp

This place has the most disgusting food I have ever come across in my life. I am the furthest from being picky -- I am the least picky eater I know. But come on. The tomato cheddar soup was a disgusting watery texture and it was the color of watermelon juice, and at the bottom there were little squares of what was very clearly kraft cheese slices. Next came the two most disgusting sandwiches I've ever taken a bite of in my life. My sister tried the "Back to Basics" which had two greasy dirty slabs of tasteless over-buttered bread, and provolone which was definitely from some Kraft package and was absolutely TASTELESS. I tried the I don't even know what it was called -- something that came on olive bread with a mixture of a few cheeses, peppers and onions -- I nearly threw up when I took a bite, it was gross. After those first bites we asked the waitress to take them away and to bring us our bill. She was nice enough not to charge us for the sandwiches, and we went to eat elsewhere (I recommend HK which is just a few blocks away!). For a restaurant whose sole purpose is to make grilled cheese sandwiches -- for god's sake, USE REAL CHEESE! Have some respect for your work!!
