If you're having trouble finding the booth, just follow the smell of stinky cheese -- you'll smell it before you see it. We waited about an hour for one of these viral baked raclette sandwiches, and the cheese smell was so strong that it actually started to make me feel a little nauseous while standing in line. It was interesting to watch them prepare the sandwiches and see the wheel of cheese being melted and scraped onto the bread. However, the sandwich itself was overhyped for both the price and the length of the wait. I wouldn't wait over an hour in the cold for this again, but I'm still glad I got to try it once. read more

I was here during Christmas season so of course I had to try this place. I've been wanting something with a cheese wheel for awhile. I just wasn't sure how to order. You wait in line for awhile but once you get there, you are rushed to order and I had no idea how to order it. The sandwhich you can get with condiments which I didn't know so not sure I ordered it correctly but I enjoyed my cheese & the pull! I would get it again just for the experience. read more

As you can clearly see, Lisa E. was giddy with anticipation to bite into her jambon raclette @ the Bryant Park Winter Village. She offered me a piece, since I said I didn't want one myself. FIrst bite, almost swayed me to grab one for myself. Crusty bread with oozing a melty, funky alpine cheese, sliced ham, a few gherkins and some green onion. Solid choice! read more

Delicious sandwich. Waited over an hour to make a purchase. Would we do it again? Probably. We met several interesting people while we waited in line - Which made the time go by almost painlessly. The cost was $58.79 for two sandwiches, one water and one Coke Zero. Employees were friendly. I was impressed at how well they handled the sheer volume of customers - and sandwich preparation. read more

I haven't visited the original locations of this specialty store, but I've had plenty of their delicious raclette baguettes. Baked Cheese Haus has a stall at Boston's Snowport holiday market every year, and I always make it a point to visit at least once or twice, and if I'm lucky- sometimes more! These foot-long raclette-stuffed baguettes are incredibly tasty, with just a few simple ingredients that come together perfectly. My favorite is the traditional version, featuring gooey melted raclette cheese, gherkins, scallions, and Dijon mustard inside a toasty, crispy, and chewy baguette. It's perfect for cold weather, but honestly, I'd enjoy it anytime! read more

The cheese was strong willed. You can smell it from seemingly a mile away. But the flavor was pretty good. It was fun to see them melt it and scoop it on. As a foodie, it was satisfying. Maybe a little too much. But still tasted good. A little pricey for what it is but worth a visit once. read more

About a 1-1.5: The Baked Cheese Haus was one of those places that went viral, so everyone and their mother needed to check this place out at the Christmas Village (including me - HA!). This place offers raclette, which is melted alpine cheese on a toasted baguette, with the option of adding spring onions, baby gherkins, and/or dijon mustard to your choice of protein, if you'd like. Their menu is straightforward and simple: the Jambon Cru has cured ham; the Saucisson Sec has cured salami; and, the Traditionnel is just the raceltte on the baugette, making this a vegetarian option. They also have two drinks: the Hot Apple Cider Chai and the Caramel Apple Spice Cider. We shared the Saucisson Sec - could have had more of the melted cheese and be evenly distributed throughout the split baguette, instead of having a mound of it on top. Also, the sliced cured salami wasn't much, as it seemed like it only had 2 slices or so. The adding of the spring onions, the baby gherkins, and the dijon mustard was a good choice, but I wished it could be requested for extra/more of these. The baguette itself could have been more toasty, as it was more on the chewy side; also, it was just a lot of bread. Staff were efficient in taking orders, but it does take a while to get your items - the line is super long! It was fun to watch the scraping off the cheese wheel and the preparation of the sandwiches. +overhyped +efficient staff +long lines read more

This has been a viral restaurant at Bryant Park Holiday Market and it did not live up to the hype for me. It was a $20 grilled cheese on a baguette. The line was wrapped around the corner to order and then a 15+ minute wait to get the food. The burnt cheese smell was over powering while waiting for the food. Probably not something I would order again but was a fun experience. read more

Great!!!! I waited on a line, weekday about 2pm, not too long a wait. Worth it!! Delicious!!!! I ordered the Apple Cider chai which was the closest to hot Apple cider and it was great. I ordered the Jambon-the first item on the menu--it has ham, raclette cheese, nice and melted, mustard, gherkins. Absolutely fantastic delicious!!! And, they take Apple Pay! Yay! Enjoy my photos and brief video. read more

Finally after what feels like 2-3 years of waiting, I was able to experience a raclette and see what the hype was about this winter. I'm sure you've seen those insta reels on these too! Sad to say, it felt a bit over-hyped. The line was too long, was filled with too many European tourists cutting and adding in their whole extended family, the baguette was kinda meh and too floury, there wasn't much cheese except in the front for show, they only put three little baby gherkins, the ham was tough, gristly, and gross, and overall wasn't worth the experience. The cheese itself was pretty good and I could've definitely used more in mine, which just felt like an empty bread sandwich with mustard. I super wanted to like this place and maybe everyone was just tired that morning, but meh. read more

This had been high on my daughter's list of places to eat after seeing Tik Tok videos of the sandwiches being made. It's truly a unique experience! We were in Bryant Park shopping at the Christmas market, and managed to be near the front of the line when Baked Cheese Haus opened. We selected the standard sandwich - a foot long hoagie with thin sliced meat, covered in melted cheese, then finished with dijon mustard and mini pickles. So very tasty & like nothing we'd had before. If you're in Bryant Park during the holidays, definitely try! read more

ooookay, i get it. It taste just as good as it looks. It is simple flavors that remind me of Europe. We went here because my mom saw a video on facebook reviewing it. It was a bit difficult to locate. You'll find it at the end of the food buildings near the ice skating rink. There is a very long queue, but it moves quickly. They take cash or card and you get a show while you wait. The show being the cheese scarp for sandwiches before yours. Pretty pricing considering the size and ingredients; but memories with my mom are always priceless. read more

Stopped by the Baked Cheese Haus at Bryant Park Winter Village today. I ordered the Bresaola and it was mediocre. There was very little filling overall. For example, they only put a thin slice of cured beef and a medium amount of melted cheese. It was mainly bread! I don't think it's worth $19 considering it's an average tasting sandwich. In addition, the service time took about 20 minutes to make. Service/staff rate 5/10. The only cool thing about it is its iconic melted cheese wheel that gets slathered onto the sandwich. Otherwise, there's nothing special about this food stand. I would definitely go check out other food options at Bryant Park during the holidays. read more

Ode to my arteries! Raclette cheese scrape is quite a performance and bucket list item. It is an experience satisfied once and ... am good with that. Fresh alpine raclette cheese wheel, melted....and scarped onto a baguette, add your fixings like Jamón (prosciutto), Dijon mustard and a few gherkins, and green scallions. THE EXPERIENCE AND SERVICE WAS BEYOND IMAGINABLE. Long lines and I know why. The workers sang, danced, were in a festive mood and demonstrated teamwork. Imagine this...a long lightly toasted baguette, prosciutto on one side and then the scraping of the melted cheese.. yum... oh my... and before handing the baguette to you... the melted cheese is scraped onto the top of the baguette which was nicely wrapped and ready for a bite! I wish there was more prosciutto, and the cheese scraped onto the inside of the baguette was a very thin spread. I tasted the cheese on top of the sandwich, but not in every bite. This was definitely an experience and I can cross it off my list. read more

Delicious, unique (for NYC at least) but a bit pricey for what it is. It's essentially a melted cheese sandwich with ham or salami and some interesting condiments sprinkled in there. I got the racklette sandwich with salami, it came with mustard, pickles and a hit of spring onions, which to my surprise worked out really well. The richness from cheese was cut nicely by the pickle, mustard and spring onion. I would definitely get this again, just wish it were priced better read more

$17 for bread, cheese and ham. I don't know why I expected more or for it to taste out of this world. Line was long. Took forever to get the sandwiches to be made because the workers were using a heat lamp to melt the cheese. This place went viral due to social media. The whole market is a bust. Overpriced food. read more

It's almost like Mr. Internet heard me talking about going to NYC for Xmas, cuz I kept getting pop-ups on IG for the raclette Sammy at Baked Cheese Haus (BCH)...eerie! Anyway, I made BCH my bucket list destination and went to the Bryant Park location on a chilly Saturday afternoon the last weekend before Christmas. I found it right away due to the huuuge waiting line (ah, the power of viral marketing!). The line did, however, did go fast as the employees in the truck were HUSTLING! The warm gooeyness of the cheese covering the ham and toasted baguette were very welcome in the chilly weather. I washed it down with a hot & delicious chai apple cider. This experience was 4-star good, with the long queue and price taking it down a star. FYI, BCH also was at Union Square in the Village, and the line was just as long there as well. Glad I tried BCH, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Stopped in around 4:30 to avoid the crowds and because I skipped lunch. The staff members were accommodating the woman in front of me who had several food allergies. They patiently showed packaging and walked through each of the ingredients. This was my first Raclette experience and it was fantastic. The fresh Raclette was shaved over about 10 boiled and halved red potatoes. The jambon cru is like prosciutto. I recommend this but they have a few options. After the gooey cheese is melted on a healthy portion of pepper is added on top. It's served with tiny gerkins or baby salty pickles. The warm cheese does cool quickly in the NY December, but there are ample tables around and space (@4:30pm on a Tuesday). Enjoy this hot and tip generously - it's cold outside! read more

Omg cheese!!!! Baked cheese haus a specialty cheese maker bringing you the joy of Swiss made cheese to fairs and holiday markets around the country. I was able to find them at the Bryant Park holiday market and get their traditional Raclette sandwich. A crisp baguette with melty gooey raclette cheese, scallions, mini pickle and Dijon mustard. Now if I could eat this every day I would! It was light, simple and filling! The flavors were balanced so perfectly it was the best walking meal you could enjoy with one hand. If you see them at any location give it a try you won't be disappointed! read more

We found this place while walking around at Bryant Park during their Holiday Market. At first, the smell was not very appetizing, and I did hear people skipping this place while I was standing in line because of the smell, but honestly, it was worth it. The smell of the cheese is definitely strong, but the flavor is very much better. We ordered the Traditional Suisse Raceltte and enjoyed some caramel apple spice cider while waiting for our order. The cider was delicious. I'm not very into cider, but this one changed my whole perspective. The Raceltte was also good. We did the traditional because we didn't want any of the toppings to overpower the flavor of the cheese or something. It was a bit pricy for some potatoes with melted cheese on top, but it's worth the try. read more

It's sad that this company is so brazen about the minimal amount of raclette cheese that they serve in relation to how expensive it is. Almost $18 with tax for a tiny bit of raclette on a few potatoes or thick French baguette. But they trick you into thinking it's a lot more on the baguette by smearing some on top of the sandwich. Don't be fooled, there's just a smear inside. Don't believe me? Watch them make it. If it was reasonably priced, this tactic might be acceptable, but this is highway robbery. Poor people and tourists who are visiting get taken advantage of because Baked Cheese Haus know they're not serving repeat customers. I'm 99% sure this isn't AOP raclette from Switzerland either (which could be a bit of a justification for the price). Do not get ripped off, just buy your own raclette melter and cheese and potatoes/bread and have it at home. read more

Only open during the Bryant Park Holiday Fair ( during the winter) We got the Ham Raclette. It was delicious with the cheese as the best part. Yeah, the cheese is smelly, but sooo worth it.

Don't be afraid of the stinky cheese smell that emanates from the pop up food stall (seasonally located in Bryant Park or at Broadway Bites). I really wanted to try some raclette but it sort of smelled like something dead so it put me off for a long time before I sucked it up and finally tried it. I got the alpine brat - good sized authentic bratwurst with dijon and gherkins on a crusty baguette smothered in ooey gooey cheese. NOM! The gherkins balance it out nicely and give some crunch. Does not taste how it smells, would get again. read more

Beware! You might he repelled by the smell of melting cheese, and this might quickly escalate to the top of "the nastiest things you smelled" list. But dont let this stop you from trying it. But dont raise the expectations too high either. We waited in-line for 30-45minutes fighting through the ugly smells of grilled Racellete cheese.
