Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised with how good the Beltline Grilled Cheese ended up being. The cranberry sauce is really, really good and rye was the right choice for this sandwich. The tomato soup was acidic and savory which was a great break from the very rich sandwich. Now this banana pudding cheesecake cup... SHEESH!!! That's probably the best thing I've ever, ever eaten. It was so damn delicious. Thick, rich pudding cheesecake with Nilla wafers and soft almond cake, O M G!!! Please keep these cups in stock.... These are incredible.

Calais, the sole server at the restaurant, was polite and attentive. However, she informed the client that she was the only person working and that the food preparation would take some time. It’s puzzling that on a busy Friday, a restaurant that’s usually packed with customers only had one server. The client left because they couldn’t wait. Whoever manages this restaurant clearly lacks the necessary skills to handle such situations effectively. It was a little bit pricey for two sandwiches, large soup, two potatoes chips and two drinks.

I love everything about this place! I had the ATL and it was absolutely delicious ! I then brought my “ foodie” daughter to try it and she fell in love. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and pays homage to metro Atlanta burbs. The staff are working hard and yet they are still very friendly. We need more locations please .

& Cheese is an Atlanta-based eatery specializing in sourdough gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. It is located in the top level of Lenox Mall closest to Bloomingdale’s. & Cheese is clean, bright, and comfort-chic. I love the tabletops with maps showcasing popular metro-Atlanta neighborhoods. Customer service was solid. Food and beverage always comes out in a reasonable timeframe. I ordered The Vinings (Smoked gouda and munster, lobster mac & cheese), The Little 5 Points (Seasoned sourdough, pepperoni jack, aged white cheddar, swiss cheese, gruyere, spicy pickles, honey), tomato soup, and banana pudding cheesecake, and pineapple ginger lemonade. During a prior visit, I have also enjoyed the Ormewood (Seasoned sourdough, vegan sausage, collard greens, vegan cheese blend, balsamic glaze, caramelized onions, portobello mushrooms). & Cheese truly elevates the humble grilled cheese sandwich. Every sandwich is pressed and dressed in front of you and they do not skimp on the cheese! I don't think you could go wrong with any of the sandwiches - it's more a preference of which sandwich excites your taste buds more. My favorite sandwich so far is the Little 5 Points. It is advertised as a play on sweet and spicy, but I think it's more of a take on sweet and tangy. The hint of spice in the pepperoni jack and pickles really balances the honey finishing drizzle. & Cheese is known for its gourmet sandwiches. However, I also visit for the soup and their desserts. The soup is not chunky and is flavorful. I would recommend buying the large; the small is rather small and I love having soup to take to work for lunch. I also love the notion of dessert in a jar, and their cheesecakes (strawberry crack, banana pudding, and peach cobbler) are really good. My general rule of thumb is that you should order juices in label-less containers. The pineapple ginger lemonade has a good sweetness level and just enough ginger not to overwhelm the pineapple.

I had a very nice experience at the & Cheese shop in Lenox Mall, Atlanta. It’s on the second floor, the cozy atmosphere the staff immediately welcomed me. They were incredibly friendly, taking the time to explain the menu which was helpful for a first-timer like me. The Grant Place sandwich which is mozzarella cheese and tomatoes, was a grilled and toasted perfectly. I also loved their tomato basil soup, and it was nothing short of amazing. A must-try for cheese lovers!

Okay! So where do I begin? I was just strolling Lennox mall. Saw this place called & cheese-gourmet grilled cheese!! I love love love cheese!! It was closed that day. Came back a few days later and it smelled soooooo good upstairs. Curiosity got me! The menu was amazing! Atmosphere so cool and calm. Staff was helpful, they told me about the sandwiches and made suggestions/recommendations! They are truly gourmet grilled cheese! I had the ATL and my daughter had the little 5 points! First of all! Portion was perfect for me. We did halves. You can either do a whole sandwich or half and it comes with a cup of tomato basil soup. Listen...that was not Campbells soup! It was so good. So fresh!! The sandwich...It was soooooo good. Cooked to order with all the things on it! I was pleased! Highly satisfied. Please don’t let my phone pics fool you! It was amazing!! We also had their fresh juice with our sandwich. A pineapple,ginger lemonade. It was very refreshing. Can’t wait to come back and try a different sandwich. Try it out for yourself!!

I think this place doesn’t get the love it deserves! This was my first time coming and the place was empty, but I hope to see the marketing and attraction to this place skyrocket- I think their location is just bad! I got the Bankhead which is their version of a cheesesteak and it was a 10/10! The service was amazing and the waitress (didn’t catch her name) helped me understand each individual menu item. Tomato soup was the perfect portion and a perfect complement to the absolute FIRE sandwich. This place is better than anything in the food court. Go upstairs and bless your tastebuds!
