Vibes: elevated grilled cheese Their food truck was downtown Minneapolis. I stopped by to get their 4 cheese grilled cheese and fries. Made to order. Didn't wait long. They have a buzzer system which was nice so you don't miss when your food is ready. Fries were seasoned well & the cherry on top was that they cut the grilled cheese into 4 parts!! Easy to eat and walk outside read more

Cozy little place with big mirrors and windows. Slightly short window of hours, closing in the early afternoons. Small menu and capacity but that means service is quick! Staff are incredibly friendly I got the Apple Brie which had granny smith apple slices, brie, mozzarella, caramel, and pecans. I enjoyed it but the caramel made it quite sweet and sticky, I would probably ask for no caramel next time I order. The sandwiches come out cut into quarters which makes for great sharing. My friend got the Basil Pesto and it was soooo good, especially with the cup of tomato soup with basil topping. I ended up getting my own cup of soup because it looked and smelled so good! I love a thicker tomato soup. Really liked this place, will be back! read more

All Square - Apple Brie Pecan - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Easy parking out front, nice comfortable patio, friendly and helpful staff, yummy food...this pace was a win. We wanted to try a place down the street that was closed on Tuesdays so we ended up here. I'm personally not a fan of the traditional grilled cheese, so I was wary heading in. But while they have what I think of as a grilled cheese, they also have many other things that while grilled and have cheese, are quite different. I had the jerk chicken and it was delicious. The teen had the jalapeno popper and I had some of that and it was fantastic as well. The comments praising the fries were spot on also. This was a fantastic find, and we will be back! read more

Jerk chicken grilled cheese was absolutely amazing. So much cheese, great flavor. The fries were crisp and plentiful.

Absolutely incredible first experience at all square, we loved their mission and their advocacy for folks that are coming out of incarceration and so much more beyond that. Emarion was the primary person that helped us figure out what to get and they were so wonderful! Incredible food, great people, great space, great mission, 5/5, 10/10, 100/100 read more

Delicious sandwich options, fast and friendly service. We loved the pesto grilled cheese and apple Brie. Fries were tasty and generous. Salads were small but good! I love their mission and the dream lab next door, and their support of social justice causes. read more

Haven't been to their restaurant but was lucky enough to find their food truck at the neighborhood brewery. So fun; great service, with a smile and a whopping delicious grilled cheese jerk chicken sandwich. Just the right amount of heat and extra tasty. A must try; next time I'll visit the restaurant. With great owners with awesome attitudes and living life with gratitude and joy you can't lose. They tell me they will be at the Viking games. SKOL read more

Onscreen menu clearly states that Fong Delight and Day Breaker are served with hash browns ordered Fong Delight they asked if I wanted hash browns didn't say anything about it costing extra then up charged me $2.50. I pointed out the menu where it says "served with hash browns" they agreed it was deceptive but didn't offer refund. Hashbrowns were pretty mediocre not much different than McDonalds. Bagle sandwich was good. read more

We had a lovely lunch here on Sunday on the gorgeous patio. This is a counter service restaurant where after you place your order you find a seat and your meal is brought to you. I had the jalapeno popper sandwich- it was awesome! Just the right level of heat, cheesy and delicious. It came with a house made side of pickled onions, cucumbers, and salad greens. All yummy. One dining companion had the jerk chicken sandwich. He said it was flavorful. The other companion had the Swiss and mushroom sandwich, she enjoyed hers as well. The service was great. The guy at the counter was funny and engaging. One really cool thing about this restaurant is that if you are struggling, they will allow you to ask your server for whatever level of discount you need to be able to eat there. I think that is a lovely model. Besides the food, that concept makes me want to go back to support that work in the community. read more

I don't often leave reviews but this place was outstanding, the food itself is amazing with plenty of gluten free options & the staff seriously went above and beyond to take care of us and make sure we were happy :) read more

All Square had been on my list for years, and I'm glad I at least know I can go back to get through the winter. It's not a massive menu but all of the grilled cheese sandwiches and sides are a hit! On top of that the staff were truly some of the kindest and most welcoming staff I've ever seen at a counter serve restaurant. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great food, and the staff was very friendly, polite, and attentive. We had the Jalapeno Popper sandwich, which is very tasty!

Craft grilled cheese for a good cause- how can you say no? I love the premise behind this nonprofit and the food is pretty good. You get fun preset topping options for grilled cheese . The French fries are crispy, and the tomato basil soup hits the spot. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I went on a nice summer day and got to take advantage of the beautiful patio but there are some indoor seating options as well. Lots of free street parking available in the neighborhood as well. read more

Loved, loved, loved my Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese! I went here with a couple friends who were visiting. The weather was perfect, so we took our dog and sat out on the patio. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and the decor was nice. Love their mission! Employment is a hurdle for many people who are formerly incarcerated. I love that they specifically employ formerly incarcerated individuals and focus on restorative justice. The fellowship program is beneficial not only to those in the program, but also to the community as a whole. Can't say enough wonderful things about this place. Go check it out if you haven't already! read more

If you're searching for a restaurant bursting with flavor while supporting a meaningful cause, All Square is the perfect spot. This cozy eatery in South Minneapolis offers incredible grilled cheese sandwiches, all while championing a mission to help former inmates rebuild their lives. By providing employment opportunities, All Square gives them a fresh start and a second chance. The restaurant is small and intimate, with plenty of off-street parking. However, it's a great place to share with others, so carpooling is encouraged. I highly recommend All Square for its warm atmosphere and delicious grilled cheeses. And the serves are so nice and polite. read more

A little gem in the busy food scene if Minneapolis. Excellent food, customer service and mission, friendly ambiance. I am OBSESSED with the Johnny Tsunami and Jerk chicken sandwiches and don't get me started on the fries! The lemonade is also excellent and I'm even impressed with the salad. I hate pickles and I genuinely enjoyed their pickles! read more

All Square - Johnny Tsunami Sandwich - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Come grab a delicious sandwich with an incredible mission! The All Square team seeks to offer programs that heal the harms of the justice system. They offer fellowships for previously incarcerated folks to work and gain new skills there, plus so many other programs and ideas. And it's a COOL spot to go - they've got fun neon lights and the decor is a vibe! The menu is simple, which I love. A handful of meat sandwiches, some vegetarian sandwiches, a kids grilled cheese, an option to get gluten-free bread for a few bucks more, and some sides: fries, tomato soup, and cookies. The sandwiches aren't cheap at around $12 a piece, but it goes to a great cause! And this spot is woman-owned. Support local, and support great causes! read more

Socially conscious grilled cheese - who knew there was such a thing? And who knew it could be so delish and so rewarding too? We just happened upon this place while visiting the Twin Cities and were so happy we did. We felt privileged to be able to share in their mission. read more

Tasty! And the staff is really attentive and kind. Among other things, I had arrived with a group and we had to order separately, and someone was between us. The staff thoughtfully prepared our separate orders together, so that they were ready at the same time, without needing to be asked. The outside space is also nice if you have a dog. Combined with a non-profit approach that gives another chance to folks impacted by mass incarceration, this place is an easy win. read more

Stoped in two nights ago to get French fries. I am wheelchair bound and this place is hard to get into. The patio tables are the biggest problem. Also a big bump before the door threshold. A customer saw I could not get in. He told an employee that I wanted to place an order and that employee came right out. Took my order,I gave him ten dollars. Came out with a bag ,I took it and left. As I went home I grabbed a few fries, when I realized there was no change in the bag. In my mind ten bucks is too much for French fries. I live five houses away from their restaurant and it's easy for me and my wife with Alzheimer's to get to and still be in sight of our house to avoid her getting confused. We both like the food which has always been good. Just a weird occurrence I guess. But something I wanted to mention. Be on the alert if you drive a wheelchair read more

Really enjoyed the sandwiches and soup, plus excellent service. Also love the mission and vibes.

They are back open! The food was ready on time. I walked in and was greeted and handed my food. It took less than a minute to pick up the food. I enjoyed my Havana which is their take on a Cuban sandwich. You get a little bit of salad as part of the purchase. The only issue we had was they put pepperoni in a pizza grilled cheese where one of our vegetarian family members had ordered olives and not pepperoni so some trading was necessary. Maybe ordering sites should have a "I'm a vegetarian" option to warn restaurants. Super fast and friendly pick up with easy ordering. One of the family said they have the good kind of fries. Check it out! read more

Social justice and grilled cheese, an amazing combo that I wholeheartedly support! We popped in here on a Sunday afternoon and found that the tiny seating area in the front was pretty packed. And while we were able to get a table, not to worry, lady giving us "hurry up and eat" eyes, there is a whole other seating section for you and your group. Let a girl eat her grilled chilled in peace! That said... I ordered the Back 2 Bac, which is a grilled bacon, avocado, cheddar sandwich with sriracha ranch. Holy smokes, I want it all the time! So good. The fries were crisp and had just the right amount of seasoning. The only snafu is that my salad didn't have any dressing on it and my friend's had too much. Great staff and atmosphere. Will definitely return to support this great establishment! read more

Service and ambiance are good. The brie apple sandwich seemed to have sugar on it, which made it taste yucky in my opinion. Could not choke it down. read more

Delicious grilled cheese, lovely setting. The Apple Brie sandwich was cooked to perfection. It was fun to try this neighborhood gem by.

Food: Grilled Cheeses galore! This place has about 10 different gourmet grilled cheeses served on no frills paper lined trays with a little green salad. There's an option to add French fries or tomato soup, both of which are delicious! On my latest trip, we tried the Basil Pesto, Jerk Chicken and Four Cheese sandwiches. All were amazing, but honestly the tomato soup is what really blew us away. They also have beer and wine offerings as well. Venue: Clean, open and airy restaurant with some standard tables and a little bar seating area. They also have gender neutral bathrooms. All in all, great food, great cause, great restaurant. read more

Who knew grilled cheese could taste so good? Try the Johnny Tsunami with seasoned fries. Friendly service and comfortable outdoor seating. Eating out for a cause is always great. read more

I support the cause Everyone needs redemption We're all criminals Five stars for All Square's social justice mission and three stars for the food, so call it four stars. All of the employees at All Square are ex-convicts. In today's America even if you only spent a short time in prison, it often ends up being a life sentence. Nobody will hire you and nobody will rent to you. Bravo to All Square for giving second chances. On to the food, just OK. I got the basil pesto for seven bucks plus fries for two plus a soda for another two. The sandwiches are kind of small. Kind of feel like you could get something similar at a high school cafeteria. It was tasty enough. Just nothing mind blowing. I know one of the previous reviewers here had issues with the service. Kind of got here at an off hour today, but found the staff to be prompt and friendly. Minor quibble - I asked for a Diet Coke and got a Sprite. No big whoop. Check em out if you are in the area! I know I will be giving them a second chance. read more

All Square's mission is what motivated me to attend one of their soft opening events. The restaurant is nestled into an intimate and neighborly looking area. The location itself is small but has a large amount of sidewalk space that they could have a lot of patio seating in the future during warm seasons. The kitchen looks super small and the folks cooking/serving had to make it work in small quarters but the product came out well. They will need to tweek some things like create an assembly line approach to preparation and maybe create a number serving system so people don't have to yell your name when the order is ready. Other than that I enjoyed my jerk chicken grilled cheese. I asked what sauce they used for the jerk chicken and once I saw that they had the Walkerswood sauce I knew the flavor would at least be right. My Jerk Chicken grilled cheese was quite yummy with the side of fries I got. I asked for ketchup but they didn't have any. Instead, they had a choice of two sauces, I chose the chipotle based one and actually loved it so much I used it on my sandwich. I like this place and wish them luck! read more

All Square - Jerk Chicken Grilled Cheese and fries - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I was not expecting to be as blown away by this grilled cheese place as I was. We were greeted immediately when we walked through the door by the person working the register. She had such a great attitude and was very helpful with showing us what was good on the menu (since it was our first time there). The music in this place was so fun and upbeat, which definitely added the the vibe of the meal. The sandwich comes with a salad which was an arugula and spinach base with a vinaigrette. This was definitely the best grilled cheese I have ever had in my life!! Also, we didn't realize that this places profit goes towards fighting mass incarceration, which makes you feel even better about eating a great meal for an even better cause! There isn't too much seating in the place, but there is an option to order ahead or take the sandwich on the go :) read more

Delicious grilled cheese sandwiches served with a side of supporting a noble cause is something everyone can get behind. Others on Yelp (and national outlets like the New York Times) have poured on the praise for All Square, so I won't rehash that, suffice it to say I fully support their mission. While grilled cheese might not be at the top of the list when it comes to dining out for me, All Square does make a mighty fine one. I have tried about a handful of them so far - sitting at the top of the list for me is the Havana (their riff on a Cubano sandwich) and the Jalapeno Popper. All sandwiches comes with a small salad and you can add on battered fries as well (which actually travel pretty well for takeout). Ordering is easy, prices are reasonable, the staff are friendly and again, you'd be hard-pressed to find a restaurant doing more to try to support its local community. read more

All Square is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to go back! From the moment you walk in the door your greeted with friendly staff and a delicious aroma of fried bread and cheese. Every single sandwich looked amazing and I'm sad we could only try 3. We had the basil (which they make in house), apple and Brie, and a special they were having with sausage and cabbage. Every bite was soooo good. Also make sure you get the fries and some tomato soup. The fries are so crispy and perfectly seasoned. Now the timing wasn't perfect. My sister got her grilled cheese and was finished eating by the time I got mine, but we shared so it was ok. I was taking a sandwich to go and they offered to wait to make it until we were ready to leave so it would be fresh. It's a small space with only a few tables and some bar seating, but if you have to wait it's definitely worth it. I can't wait to go back because I need to try the dessert grilled cheese. read more

This place is just so awesome. The staff is super friendly and I love the concept of "craft" grilled cheese. We went with a classic grilled cheese with gazpacho and the apple and brie grilled cheese. We visited during Covid-19, and felt pretty safe with the safety measures in place. While we waited for our food, we were able to read all of the informative graphics they have hanging on their wall, related to the organization's mission of empowering formerly incarcerated individuals. They had a particularly interesting graph about how investing in such programs benefits our society as a whole (see pictures). I also loved that the sandwiches were actually really light and not super greasy/indulgent. I left feeling satisfied without feeling weight down and heavy like I usually do with restaurant grilled cheeses. read more
