Thanks to Stemma showing the Seahawks playoff games on their TV, I had the opportunity to enjoy a meal from Burnt Side Down not once, but twice in the past couple weeks! Located literally steps from the brewery, and with handy online ordering, this was a fun option for me and the dude as we watched the 'Hawks stroll to victories over the 49'ers and the Rams. The first game, we enjoyed the B'Ham and Cheese, featuring bacon, ham, cheese, and a toasty rosemary bread. In a word: YUM! Last game, we shared the Jalapeno Popper which was too spicy but in a good way. You know what I mean? Like you can't stop eating because it's too spicy and you have to take a few sips of beer between bites and you immediately crave another sandwich because it was sooooo good? And yet, so spicy? Speaking of beer, these sammies pair well with all of my Stemma faves. The Jalapeno Popper went especially well with Stemma's Mexican Lager, though the dude thought it was equally delish with his hazy IPA. Will we return for the Super Bowl and a grilled cheese trifecta? Time will tell! read more

If you're a grilled cheese person this is the place to go! We stopped at the brunt side down for some lunch, we ended up ordering the easy cheesy, the Italian stallion, the send it, and the classic kids meal. The sandwiches are massive and loaded with cheese! The kids had fun showing off who could get the longest cheese pull, and the easy cheesy ended up winning. They have canned drinks for you to choose from (mostly polar seltzers) but if seltzer waters are not your thing the brewery offers many drinks! Service was quick and nice, and there was tons of seating outside near the food truck. Overall great spot for a nice lunch before going off and exploring Bellingham. read more

Best place for a delicious grilled cheese and tomato soup ! A couple of my favorites are "Send It" which has multiple meats, and "The Gorgonzola" which has slices of Granny Smith apple, Gorgonzola and candied bacon. The owner and staff are always very nice and provide great service. Plus they are a permanent food truck at Stemma, where you can grab a drink, bring the kiddos, and doggos ! read more

Got off the plane, a bit tired and damn hungry. Drove straight to this spot I read about. Great grilled cheese, reviews said. Figured sure, let's give it a try. Holy hell, that was one of the most satisfying grilled cheese and tomato soup combos I've had the pleasure to enjoy. Devoured it like a starving man. Flavorful, perfect mix and quantity of cheeses, and the soup was simple and just right for that childhood flashback. Wound up coming back again despite my short stay in town it was that good. So yeah, highly, highly recommended. read more

Found this place, and it's located but Stemma Brewery. Nice variety of grilled cheeses, I went with the Italian Stallion grilled Cheese. It's like a pizza grilled cheese. My other friend got the Jalapeño Popper grilled cheese, nice amount of heat to it. And our other friend got the Send It, that was very filling. Also a cup of their tomato soup. Which made for a great dipping of the sandwiches will definitely be back to try the other sandwiches. read more

Who doesn't love grilled cheese and soup and the delicious beer of Stemma? This new place has taken over Sweet as Waffles's old truck and will be a new fixture at Stemma. They have a variety of grilled cheese sandwiches, and we got the two largest ones on the menu. They are not for the faint of heart - there's a LOT of cheese and it's a pretty good size sandwich. You have to reaaaaally like cheese because these sandwiches are packed with it. While ours were a little on the unmelted side, it was still quite full with three different kinds of cheese. We also added the jalapeños, which adds a kick. I couldn't finish mine, and my two dining compatriots were very full. Like "we might not need dinner" full. (To be fair, it was a pretty late lunch.) They are a liiiiitle light on the chips and pickle as a side, and a bit heavy on the sauce side, but that's easily corrected. I'd order light on the sauces, or on the side next time. But the point is, there will definitely be a next time. The French Kiss is calling my name. read more

Incredible beautiful mastery. We had the Gorgonzla and it was perfection. Crisp cheese edges are the gateway of apples, green, crisp, juicy. Savory, tangy gorgonzola tip toes across your tongue. Next creamy, cheesy toasty bliss. Indulgent, and so, so satisfying. Nod to the Green Frog! Cherished times. read more

I love the whole Stemma vibe and having Burnt Side Down on site as a food option is just an added bonus. Those grilled cheese are the best in town, by far. My one knock would be is the tomato soup. I believe having a good tomato soup with the grilled cheese sandwiches takes it to the next level and yours tastes like it's from a can (maybe it is). I opt for a side of mac and cheese from Big Sticks which is top notch. read more

A tiny kitchen produces a lot of food. I was there Sunday afternoon looking for lunch the nice woman at the counter answered my question and took my order. She warned me that it would take some time to prepare my lunch as she handed me a device that would alarm me when my lunch was ready. I bought the Bham and the Gorgonzola along with a dessert. All three with tip was 33.15. The ambiance isn't much the Burnt side down is in a trailer at the Stemma brewery. read more

Amazing! The people working here are so nice. The sandwiches - INCREDIBLE. I got the Burnt Side Down Signature sandwich. It's creamy and cheesy and bacon-y and just pure delicious. No one ingredient is overwhelming. The tomato soup is also yummy - and I'm not a big tomato soup person. We got the jalapeño appetizer sandwich to share. Also amazing! My son had the same and loved everything. We live in Seattle but our son is at Western. I think I might be having a lot of grilled cheese in my future! read more

My kiddo bit into her grilled cheese sandwich to find the wax slip/separator from the cheese inside. Kind of gross. She was really bummed because we were on our way to the ferry so we couldn't take it back. Probably just wax coated (hopefully not plastic) but not the healthiest or appetizing melted in with the cheese. read more

Bro so freaking good. This is a cute little food truck we visited in a Saturday evening. It wasnt busy and they had a sitting area outside, along with some other food trucks and its next to a brewery. The person taking out order was super friendly and recommended the the burnt side down signature sandwich which was SO GOOD. The chrisp cheese on the outside really does it for me. It was so favorful and gooey and delicious. This was so nice on a cold day. Definitely come here. read more

I ordered Burnt Side Down on a whim, and was extremely impressed! Both the Vegan Olivia and the Burnt Side Down grilled cheese exceeded expectations. I ordered to go, and everything was packed so nicely and was ready right on time. I will be going here again, but in person next time - the outside dining area was so cute. Plus, there is a brewery and other food trucks to try while you're at it. read more

Cool little food trailer serving up gourmet grilled cheese. It's located right outside Stemma Brewing - with a couple other food trucks nearby, so you can grab enjoy with your favorite brew. I had the Bham & Cheese (3 cheeses, ham, & bacon). Service was friendly, and flavors were good with nice crispy bits of cheese coming out the sides. Oh, and it wasn't burnt! read more

I was so excited to try Burnt Side Down, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the signature sandwich, and it was huge with so much delicious cheese, the right amount of pesto, and just had that perfect crunch on the outside of the bread. I will definitely be back to try some more flavors. The staff were attentive and friendly. The coolest little location too at Stemma. read more

Their signature sandwich was reported by son as the best grilled cheese sandwich he's ever had. Good amounts of burned cheese oozing out the edges...on cue. Well done! read more

Wow couldn't say anything more! This cute little food truck is in the parking lot of Stemma Brewery next to a bbq truck and a Birria taco truck. The smells when you pull in are heavenly! Cool place to meet up with friends and I only realised it was dog friendly when I was leaving, otherwise I would've had mine out of the car. The owner/server of Burnt was super helpful with suggestions for all customers coming to the window. Since it was my first time here I went for the Classic grilled cheese on sourdough with a cup of tomato soup (advertised as Campbells ). They give you a pager to signal when your order is ready. What I didn't expect: The cheese skirt! So crunchy and huge!! And the soup was made with water not milk, yay!!! Just like my mum made in the 1970s lol They have lots of choices of sandwiches with different fillings like French onion, Italian, and a pesto version. Also add ins like bacon and jalepenos etc She had baskets of crayons for kids to keep busy while you wait because they're cooking real food and it takes time. I thoroughly enjoyed my soup and sandwich, when you try not to eat carbs that grilled cheese is like you've died and gone to heaven! Tbh the only thing I would've done differently would've been a sprinkle of maldon salt on the outside of the bread, but that's gilding the lily. The sandwich was delicious. I'll surely come back here and bring some friends. Thanks to Yelp for the suggestion. read more

You cannot go wrong at this food truck. You'd think that you can only do a grilled cheese sandwich in one or two ways, but you'd be horribly wrong. There is such a wide variety to choose from and with those crispy cheese edges, you'll be able to find something for nearly everyone! read more

One of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I w ever had, the crispy halo of cheese is spectacular!

I was not a fan of grilled cheese but all that has changed since I experienced the ultimate grilled cheese at Burnt Side Down. I have been craving them ever since. I had the "Send It" and it was amazing. I made two meals of it. I topped it with lots of Jalapenos. I can hardly wait to return and try the Pizza grilled cheese sandwich. The very cute food truck was set inside Stemma Brewery's property. The setting was very festive as lots of people were socializing during the dinner hour. Definitely good vibes! Super friendly and helpful staff. read more

I was recommended the Bham N Cheese sandwich when I originally wanted the Easy 3 Cheese, after 2 bites I realized I did not enjoy the Bham N Cheese sandwich and brought my grilled cheese back & asked to get a remake on the regular Easy 3 Cheese. I was told "no, we have to charge you again" and I found that unfair since I tipped as well and only took 2 bites.. She didn't even refund me my money either and didn't remake me the sandwich I originally wanted so I was dissatisfied and I'm sorry I won't be coming back.. read more

They were so nice! Friendly and helpful, and delicious. My partner can't eat dairy and they helped pick a perfect option-we didn't expect a grilled cheese food truck to have great non-dairy options, but they do! Will be back again soon to try more of the menu. Check them out! read more

Absolute yum! We tried the Original and the one with Gorgonzola. The Original is the Bomb! Oozing with luscious cheese. The Gorgonzola paled by comparison - it was good but had far less cheese. Don't get me wrong, it was good. But we would stick with the Original, for sure. True oozing comfort in a yummy sandwich read more

When I was in search of a crave-worthy grilled cheese, this place delivered! Their menu items of various grilled cheeses, both sweet and savory, were drool-worthy! I was so excited to see vegetarian and vegan options and alternatives offered so that myself and my group could all find something to our liking. The staff was charming and engaging, and put a smile on our faces despite any bad weather. But all weather is appropriate for a big grilled cheese and cup of soup! Their permanent food truck is adorably decorated and I can tell that the owners and staff care about their business and customers a lot. It is stationed at our favorite brewery too, and what a great combo some of Stemma's beer and some grilled cheese goes. Go get your grilled sandwiches here asap! I'm already dreaming of my next visit, and what to order. read more

Great food truck. Will be back again. Really enjoyed area and having several different choices in food.

yummy but on the pricey side @ $10-13 , considering it's a toasted cheese sandwich with a few extras.
