This location is in the Chicago Midway airport. It was difficult finding gluten free food so I was excited to see that that there was a few gluten free options at this location. I got the quinoa bowl with chicken for $12.79. I asked the server if she was sure it was gluten free and she said she didn't know. I took a leap of faith and purchased it. It was a pretty tiny cup with little to no chicken in it. It was ok but ridiculously over priced. I would give it a 2 stars but I appreciated the gluten free options. The servers weren't very knowledgeable. The location was pretty cute but it was in the airport. read more

Terrible sandwiches. Acceptable airport tomato soup. Not worth the wait. 25 minute wait for soggy grilled sandwich is impressive

Wow... I'm floored by Beecher's Mac n cheese. I was staving after getting off the plane, and decided I wanted to try Beecher's. I' very picky when it come to mac b cheese, but this one is great. It's cheesy and spicy, and it comes out nice and hot! The cheese isn't separating, as they do at some places. But it can feel a little grainy, but that's nothing compared to the flavor. The flavor is delicious! Now that I know about this place I'm going to get it more often. The only reason I deducted a star was because of the wait time. There was only one guy working. I felt badly for him. How could you staff one person during the holidays? I used to work in a restaurant, and I could see he had several red tickets- red being long wait time. If they had more people staffed, this would be a 5/5. read more

Breakfast at 6AM at Chicago Midway Airport. Originated in Seattle and located at several Airport Cafes CA, UT, NJ, NY, IL, and of course WA. The sourdough sandwiches with their namesake cheese on the menu seemed like good choices. I chose one with egg. Hubby got the chicken and mama lil's peppers sandwich. I'm guessing the original location in WA state is wayy better. These sandwiches were alright, not outstanding and just good to have something in the tummy before flying. This Beecher's is located in Central Market at Chicago Midway in the food court section. Customer service at the counter was no-nonsense type cashier. Overall this experience was A-OK! read more

My husband and I have been to Beechers in Seattle, so I was thrilled to see they had an airport location! Touch screens for which ordering, food came out fast, and it was situated in the cafeteria for open seating. Quality - just so darn good. Totally grab a grilled cheese, or mac n cheese!! read more

The guy at the counter told me that everything is premade. They cannot custom make anything and make sure you have a lot a lot a lot of time because it will take forever to get your order. I'm the only one here and I've been waiting 30 minutes for a sandwich. read more

Been to the original and was surprised to see a location out here. Flight was delayed and had to get some snacks. Ordering was simple using the kiosk. The only thing I had to order was a banana for my kid who insisted on having one. Got a Caesar salad, grilled cheese, and mac and cheese plus the banana. Mac and cheese was finished first. Both kids ate it. Can't complain. Little one ate half the grilled cheese and enjoyed it. I had the salad. The cheese amount was great. The croutons were not crunchy but that was expected. My kids loved it and the flavor was great. I did not need to use the salad dressing. Overall good to know I can get some bites if flight is ever delayed again. I don't enjoy airport food but glad this is here read more

The first time I had Beecher's was in Seattle and was surprised to see one at MDW! I didn't have high expectations so wasn't surprised that the food wasn't as spectacular as the one in Seattle. What I ordered: - World's Best Mac & Cheese: I got a small and this was good, pretty filling. I think the cheese was a bit undercooked and had an odd grainy aftertaste. - Fig & Cheese Sandwich: Very sweet from the figs! This was also a bit undercooked, the cheese was not fully melted so it was like eating chunks of cheese with figs. read more

Not too bad for a 5:45 breakfast. If I'm being honest I wanted a breakfast burrito across the food hall but I thought they were closed. The sandwich was pretty decent - the bread was toasted nicely and reminded me of a grilled cheese. The Chipolte mayo was a nice addition to the sandwich overall. I also got an iced late with caramel - though the touch screen to order it was a little confusing so I accidentally got skim instead of regular milk - it was definitely better than Einstein's which I had a few days ago. read more

I had a pretty rotten night and was stuck at the airport since my flight was cancelled due to the heavy storm. I wasn't the happiest camper, but encountering the friendly and bubbly Melinda really lifted my mood! While she was making my oat milk hazelnut latte, we talked and she really did brighten my morning! Felece worked on my sandwich (chicken sausage, egg, and cheese on grilled sourdough) and made a really yummy sandwich! The bread was extra crispy and delicious! The only thing I didn't like about the sandwich was the chicken sausage (it was a bit runny). I absolutely loved the tomato soup and was glad I ordered a large. I wish that I had ordered more to go! Beecher's is located inside the beautiful food court and there are plenty of tables with outlets for charging your devices. read more

7:30 pm on Saturday February 21, 2026 the absolute rudest woman working. Seriously all I wanted to do was confirm I was picking up the right order because all she did was call out the item and not the order number and was treated as though I made an offensive and egregious error. Do better! read more

Update - We ate here again on August 7th, 2024, on our way to grab a Southwest flight to Providence RI. We ordered at the kiosk -my wife ordered a Chicken Sausage Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich, and I ordered their Smoked Turkey panini. Service was fairly fast - it took around 7 minutes for the food to come out - enough for me to go to another place for a Coke. This is in Midway airport, which honestly has bathrooms that look pretty crappy when you compare them to TF Green Airport in Providence, so ambiance wise, it was just okay in the eating area. There were enough chairs, but the trash cans seemed full. The counter staff was helpful. read more

I think this was the worst grilled cheese sandwich I have ever eaten. When I think of what I paid and how long I waited for it, it makes it that much worse. Hardly any cheese on it and the bread was greasy and not well toasted. Avoid this place!! read more

Was debating on eating here as I surveyed the options in the Food Court. As I was waiting in line, (which they have kiosks, but they were only showing breakfast items) I witnessed an employee behind the counter eating grapes as she was preparing food. I don't know if she was preparing her own break meal, but I was disgusted to see this and ultimately decided to eat elsewhere. I get that we get hungry, but to be eating on line and in front of customers is unacceptable-- especially as you are preparing food. read more

I js wanted a soup and this is the only place that's has like soup soup in the airport (that's crazy). So I got the tomato soup and it's pretty good (like I've had better soup out there but for the airport it's good). The waitress was super nice (and pretty). Since it was airport "restaurant" there wasn't like anywhere it sit inside but it was really chill and nice. The time they took was really quick too. I got my soup within a minute and they let me try the soup before I got it which was nice too read more

I don't ever expect good customer service at airports; but this place should get an award for worst ever. I ordered a simple Mac and cheese in their small version. The are out of the small containers so she says she's going to have to give me a large container. She proceeds to fill large container with less than one third of capacity. Basically two bites and it was gone. I bring to her attention she's not giving me 4oz which is what I ordered and she should fill half the 8oz container. She mumbles something puts the container in front of me and walks away to the back never to be seen. Basically she took my money. Don't go here. read more

Stay away very slow service and rude employees! I will not be returning to this location due to the poorly run restaurant.

Disappointed. Nothing. Like the ones in seattle. Maybe don't do airport outlet if we can replicate good name . Slow food court so maybe leftover form days before . I Would serve fresh food not day old dried up food $11 for this ... Sorry I had to post but want it to be like original place . even the frozen ones in Costco are better than this read more

$70 for three sandwiches (which they told us are all premade and heated up), a muffin which was terrible and wet inside, and a small cup of soup. Also won't even give you a cup of water, you have to buy a $5 bottle. Insane. read more

Omg so yummy! Tender turkey, flavorful and gooey cheese, tomato on toasted bread = sooo decadent! The drawback..., it's like $13 for a small size sandwich, however those are airport prices... read more

Waited for 10+ minutes for them to tell me they were out of my sandwich. Mind you this location is at an airport (time restricted). While processing my refund I tell the mgr it took a long time for staff to inform me of the issue. His response "silence". Crappy customer service all around. I work in customer service, this is completely unacceptable. I had plenty of time to update my order to something in stock. But no, I left as hungry as I came because they dropped the ball. Signed Hangry as hell! read more

Wow. 30m for my grilled cheeses, indifferent staff. Almost missed my flight.disappointing.

Overall this meal was pretty good for airport food. I couldn't eat meat today and it was one of the only places that had that option. my meal looked really yummy but overall just lacked flavor. I got the flagship sandwich and tomato soup. that being said, i wouldn't count it out and would go here again! read more

Beecher's Handmade Cheese - a sandwich and soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Located at Chicago's Midway airport, the menu consists of grilled cheese sandwiches, salads, grab and go drinks. No service, you order from a kiosk, pay and wait for your orders. I love Beecher's cheese and curds so I had expectations for the Mac and cheese. Sooooo disappointed, overcooked and mushy penne pasta, dry and mealy mush cheese, no sauce; seemed precooked and held on a steam table for 8 hours (and it was lunchtime/noon)! I guess what do you expect for overcooked, overpriced airport cuisine. Next time $15 to try the grilled cheese. read more

We had a slight issue with a salad and management was very kind and fully solved the problem with a free replacement. Coffee and sandwiches were also delicious. Thank you to the employee team for a great meal on our layover!! read more

It started with the kiosk being down for orders and the lady at the register telling her coworker she ain't coming back to work and complaining that they are out of almost everything. She read off a list of things they don't have. I figured I'd get their flagship sandwich, it's got to be the best right? Nope I feel scammed. I don't even know what's on this thing but all I see is what looks like a cheese spread and small tomato piece in each side. If this is what they are known for I can't believe they are still in business. My wife had a grilled cheese and it was worse, she ate a few bites and threw it away. Nothing was pleasant here from the ordering to waiting to the food. I don't often give 1 star reviews, but they earned it. read more

Absolutely the worst customer service. I was there on 10/12/2025 at 10am. The individual working the register from the start acted like she didn't want to be there. Not just with myself but with everyone she had contact with. We ordered both food and coffees under order #36. Well the staff continually used the number 36 to call out orders (I asked others around if they heard the same thing) and each time I approached to clarity I was told it was not my order. After close to 15 mins of waiting and watching others get their orders who were after me, I went to speak to the same individual who was at the register. Asking about my order she responded "give me a minute" but just continued to stand at the register. I asked to speak to the manager and she just glared at me at this point. I then began to ask for the manager 8 times ( I counted out loud with each request) to which she responded "get out of my face" within ear shot of everyone in the area and stormed back to the rear of the store. Finally two individuals came out identifying themselves as managers. Both were very cordial but had difficulties refunding my purchase as I requested. They finally gave me a receipt showing the refund to which I am grateful. Please management and leadership of your organization. Re-think who you hire or manage them closer. read more

Got the grilled cheese with soup. It was pretty good. It did take a bit to get the food and it seemed like others ahead of me were waiting for their food for a while as well. I think it was just two of them working for a bit but when their third person came back orders were being completed faster. read more

Terribly slow service!! Sandwich was delicious... Mac and cheese not so good (cold and gritty)... tomato soup tasty

Absolutely horrendous experience. Waited over a half hour for a simple coffee. When I went to check, they said they threw it away ages ago because I didn't come when called--a blatant lie, I was standing at the counter the entire time. They were lying to customers left and right, and just resorting to meanness when it was obvious they were just in over their heads. If you tried to ask for a refund, they bullied you and told you to leave. Just skip this place and go to Dunkin instead. While Dunkin always has a longer line, they're efficient and the employees over there treat you with respect--unlike Beecher's. Can't get over how terrible it was. read more

If I could give this no stars, I would. I waited about an hour for the worst bacon egg and cheese sandwich I've ever had, and some decent Mac and cheese (tennis ball size for $10). About 15 people (no exaggeration) ordered after me and got their food before me. I downloaded yelp and made my first ever review because this was so awful. Please save yourself an hour and like 20 dollars and go to the hot dog place next door - apparently amazing read more
