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

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

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

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

All Square - Basil Pesto - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Amazing food. Great friendly service. Worth going out of your way for this wonderful establishment.

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

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.

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

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

All Square - Havana grilled cheese - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 - L-R: Veg Out, large fries, and Jonny Tsunami. - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

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

Its a good spot for tasty Grilled cheese and tomato soup. The grilled cheeses are interesting, but the flavors have been Minnesota-fied. Who wants jerseys or pibil without chili? That said, even with the limited menu, its all well done good bread, meat, etc. read more

excellent service, excellent food. I had ordered a Johnny and small fries and ounce the food came out the runner said they'd give us more fries. 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

Fantastic lunch spot after checking out Minnehaha Falls. This was a local place recommended by Yelp and so we glad we stopped on by! I'm usually not a fan of grilled cheese but this place was a game-changer. The menu offers a more creative spin on grilled cheese. We ordered 3 different kinds to share and all the flavors were unique for each one. Basil Pesto- classic but had the perfect taste of extra basil on a bed of melted mozz and provolone. Floyd's (personal fav)- melted mozz & provolone, capers, basil, garlic, and diced kalamata olives. Back 2 BAC- Bacon, Avocado, Cheddar, covered with sriracha ranch on turkey, lettuce and tomato. They cut the sandwiches into 4's so it's great to share a piece with your buddies. The cherry on top was the canned coffee they had. I usually prefer fresh but they tasted pure and amazing. Didn't know about their amazing social justice mission but it's refreshing to see a community that focuses on this. Thumbs up for the food and cause! read more

We had ordered a variety of grilled cheese sandwiches because they had a good variety and we were all able to share. They were delicious!

I would eat here again! I've been in this neighborhood over a year and had not tried. Heard good things about the grilled cheese sandwich. I enjoyed the sandwich with Granny Smith apples. It was surprisingly delicious. I was very impressed with the fries as well. The staff were kind and helpful. Also appreciate. how this establishment gives back to the community and gives formally incarcerated folks a second chance. read more

You probably have heard of the concept. They're a restaurant that hires those who have been incarcerated and/or affected by the criminal justice system. Yes, that is all stellar, but your obvious question of, "but is the food good?", is why I'm writing this review. You should have already visited and I'm angry at myself that I have not eaten here more often. It's that good. We ordered the Jerk and the normal 4-cheese sandwiches, both ordered fries, ordered each soup of Tomato and Chicken Tortilla, and a pair of sodas. For around $30 that may feel like a lot, but what I didn't know is that you get a free little side salad situation. For a really good date lunch, that you also feel good about supporting, I don't understand why we haven't been there more often. Jerk: best jerk sandwich I've had in Minnesota. Normally, jerk sandwiches are a chicken breast with jerk sauce on it, then random accompaniments. This though. This isn't the dryest part of the bird that Kowalski lovers wish to rave about. The chicken is shredded, and you can tell it's been well spiced for a number of hours. It's slightly sweet in some bites with the guava jam, but it isn't a lazy pineapple piece on there that your "southern" family member says is how you do it. My mouth felt the slow spice, and I loved it. I ate everything around it and had my final 1/4 of sandwich to close out my meal. My wife's 4-cheese, she had this to say. "It was good, and I highly recommend the tomato soup with it." I tried it and it was like two atoms smashing together make fusion power. It's fine with one, sure, but when together, it's Magical Christmas Land in your mouth. You want that all year. Fries were crispy and spiced. Remember curly fries as a child at the Uptown Arbys? (RIP) That wonderful mix of crust, potato, and flavor? These fries are that, except you're an adult and you have self-respect to not eat at Arbys anymore. Salad comes free with the sandwich and had a balsamic dressing with fresh farmers market looking greens. Great way to clear a palate, very smart move. Tortilla soup was good, but at the point, it was extra. We didn't need the extra food. Comfort food is in Rome, when it be, you get all things. The meal is gourmet, the bread and how it's fried is fantastic and we will be returning with friends who are attorneys that sit on socially conscious boards. They'll love this place. It makes me curious why this isn't franchised across the state and country. It's such a simple concept, but with nonprofit help as they do, this could be made anywhere as it is obviously a need everywhere. read more

How I label this place: a little 'cheap date' spot with amazing sammiches with a good cause behind it! If you don't know about All Square's mission, check out the video on their website. But on to the goods: on our first visit the wife had the Hawaiian and I had the jerk chicken. Both were really flavorful sandwiches at solid price points. The bread was good (mine could've been a tad crispier, but I also like nearly burnt bacon, so take this with a grain of salt), and the flavor combos on both sammies were balanced really well without any being overwhelming. The special jam with the jerk was very interesting. Overall it was a solid maiden voyage for us a All Square. Staff was super friendly, they have a couple beers on tap and serve wine, too, and the prices were also spot on! The outdoor seating will be great when it's warm. This is a perfect little gem on Minnehaha. We'll be back! read more
