I was really shocked when I visited. They have a great selection of sandwiches that made it hard to choose. I decided on the PB&JC, it was really good but overlay sweet once you got to the last bits of the sandwich. I also got a charcuterie to take home. I was disappointed when one of the cheeses I had was mostly rind and too hard/dry to eat. I feel like they save the more expensive cheeses for the large boards because I just had the hard cheese and a cheddar for mine. The shop is really cute and ladies working were super nice. Overall, really great place to grab a snack and a midnight cheese snack. read more

Great cheese and lunch! I have gotten their flavored cheese curds a few times. They are quite large bags, come in lots of fun flavors (my fav has been dill), and are delicious. One of the employees also gave me advice on how to cook them so they turned out their best. Additionally I came in a few days ago and got a grilled cheese/veggie sandwich. The sandwich was great, came on sourdough, had a good array of veggies, and they made it quickly The sides were a little lacking to my taste but I'm just not a big fan of potato/pasta salad type dishes and got a bag of Lays instead. I definitely recommend stopping in to buy some cheese for home or for a quick lunch/sandwich. read more

Cheese Ranch - Veg Head Sandwich - Cheese Shops Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Every time I have ordered a sandwich here I've gotten it within 5 minutes. Not only is the food delicious, but well sourced. I have never had to worry about the quality of my sandwich or if I would feel full. Even during busy hours like lunch time the environment is never unnecessarily loud or overly bustling atmosphere. It seems to me most college kids stop by here around lunch because they know it's the place to be. Such a cute shop with fig spreads, healthy crackers and chips, and even a new sandwich to try each week! read more

We stopped by this little cheese shop after a quick search on Yelp on our way to Evergreen for Thanksgiving. Since the family is Celiac and we're not, we needed a little glutenous snack before the gluten-free holiday. This spot is located in an unassuming shopping center next to a few specialty shops and a Burger King. We went in and there was a line of people waiting to pick up their cheese boards for the next day. We checked out the menu as we waited, watching the beautiful boards come out one after the other and deciding if we should just order a board to take with us. We went with the Bay of Pigs - their Cubano style sandwich with a side of the southwestern pasta salad. After grabbing a table and drooling over more of the gorgeous cheese trays that walked out, they brought our sandwich over to us. While small, it was still generously stuffed with perfectly slow roasted pork, ham, spicy mustard, pickles, cheese and an interesting addition of cabbage that gave it a fun crunch. The southwestern pasta salad was SPICY and studded with small bits of cheese. We inquired about the boards which ranged from $13 - $150, and learned they average about $10/head. Since we needed to get up the hill, we decided to stop by another time to grab one for a future holiday since they offer gluten-free options. Super friendly and quick staff, delicious food, and just a cute atmosphere overall. read more

Cheese Ranch - Bay of Pigs - Cheese Shops Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Wow what can I say. This little mom and pop shop in the city of Golden is serving up some high quality deli Sammies. I came here in March and it was worth the trip. Also, there's a juice place next door. Worth trying out too. read more

We stopped by to pick up a sandwich on our way to Red Rocks. We opened our bag to find a fork and no pasta salad and the Diego sandwich was light on meats, very dry - no red wine vinegar, mayo- nothing. Overpriced! Will not be back. read more

The best spot for lunch and dinner ! I came in to this cute deli and shop around 3pm on a Wednesday and the service was great. The awesome cashier recommended several sandwiches and I ended up ordering the Yeehaw sandwich and best decision ever ! It was soooo good. I got it with their potato salad ... best in town! This is , NOW, my go-to lunch spot when I'm in Golden read more

They serve delicious sandwiches that are very reasonably priced. The soup was great as well!

Great little deli, cheese selection was great and sandwiches were well packed and flavorful

Stopped by here for Wisconsin Brick Cheese and of course I ended up going home with an assortment of goodies. Margo, Natalie and Carrie (plus one other person who I missed her name) were so helpful and knowledgeable, it was such a great overall experience. This place is a haven of many specialty items where a lot were local CO (yippie!). The layout and energy were fun and exciting. Here are the deets on the goods I got. Pickled products were from Boulder. I was able to sample the pickled garlic in the store and loved it. The pickled Brussel sprouts were recommended so I couldn't leave without getting them too. My favorite of the 3 pickled items I went home with was the Jalepeno and honey pickles. Such a divine flavor! The fig fruit spread and honey were fabulous as well. I went with the whipped honey and chokecherry from Durango,CO which was super delicious (what is chokeberry anyway?). They had many other flavors to choose from. I thought my mom would like the fig orange fruit spread more, but the honey was the winner. Prosciutto and speck. Both very yum. I learned from Natalie that the difference between the two is that the former is cured where salt and pepper are used and the latter is smoked where salt and bay leaf are used. Got some havarti cheese as well, but this one wasn't our fav havarti since it was a bit drier with less flavor). Finally, I had to try a sandwich. I got the prime rib sandwich to go (PRC ? for Prime Rib Cheddar?). Oh my gosh, such great mix of flavors and textures with delicious cheddar cheese. I really enjoyed it on their multi-grain bread (vs their standard sourdough for this sandwich, only cause I am not a sourdough bread fan). When I got home I cut up the sandwich in small pieces like petite fours; bunched up a couple of pieces of the hams in piles; placed the pickled items in separate small dishes; and folded the havarti four-wise and made a stack of it. The fruit spread and whipped honey were spread on pieces of sea salt crackers. All on a wooden board like a charcuterie. What a really special Cheese Ranch dinner. Mmmm. Everything was pretty amazing. read more

We came into town for a concert at Red Rocks and looked up unique eateries and found this jewel! By far the best food we ate our whole trip. Who knew a peanut butter and jelly sandwich would be so yummy with cheese?! I've tried recreating it at home in Texas, but I can't get it the exact same. I'm sad we don't live closer. Prices were great too and the staff we encountered were very kind. read more

Super friendly guy taking the orders and the food was great! Win win! Highly recommend this place for a good sandwhich! read more

Honestly, I did not think you could make a grilled cheese so good that you would actually be willing to go out of your way to visit again, yet here we are. This place has all you classic deli stuffs you'd expect; Cheese, meats, sandwiches, rows of pickles in various vinegar-y flavors. They got it all. And I was hankering for a solid sandwich, and not only did this place deliver, it hit a spot in my stomach that made me feel like I entered a loving relationship after being abused by my ex. It was lifechanging. Also; Seriously get The Frenchy, that jam be blessed. read more

Tasty little sandwich, little. It was not large enough for a meal for myself. Service and staff seem great.

Skip the Main Street in Golden and head straight to cheese ranch deli. The ingredients are fresh and the sandwiches are super tasty. Have been looking for a good food spot in Golden where it doesn't take 25 minutes to get seated and we've finally found the space. There's also a parking lot so you don't have to deal with any annoying parking situations read more

Great local sandwich spot, friendly service and special accoutrements for an easy picnic! Will be a regular:)

Great parking, easy to find, very friendly staff! Sandwiches were really skimpy and mostly just okay. Chicken dumpling soup was over-salted but very good! read more

Fantastic sandwiches and a LARGE assortment of cheeses! The soups are also great! Glad I found it!

We were in the mood for a sandwich and I used my trusty Yelp app to find us some good eats. This establishment came up with favorable ratings. I got the Sami, pastrami. I didn't know honk it wax that great although I ate the whole thing as we were hungry. It just was not tender and a hood pastrami needs to be. If not you take a bite and it's just not going well. It has potential and isn't a total disappointment. Would I order that again ? No! And yet it's my top go to like getting an Old Fashion or Manhattan if you know what I am after. It's great when it's perfect. I've never tried Cheese Curds before and I found them not very desirable. It just looked like a blob of melted cheese on a wooden platter I would pass on that or just add it into your sandwich as I did. read more

Stumbled across this place while running afternoon errands. I am extremely particular about pastrami sandwiches- like if it's not Katz Deli in NYC then I don't bother- but I was pleasantly surprised by how good this pastrami sandwich was. Will return without a doubt. read more

Just okay. Would not return. Order was wrong. Grilled cheese with ham, no cheese. Cold ham even after remaking the order. Weird. People seemed nice, but it wasn't busy. Better options abound in Golden, IMHO. read more

Everything about this visit was great. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, the cashier and server were very friendly, and the food was fantastic. I don't like cheese but their 'Strami sandwich (with light cheese) was out of this world. Loved every bite. read more

I got a grilled cheese sandwich and the cheese was not melted at all. So it was disappointing.

Fresh ingredients but underwhelming. The tomato soup was so chunky it was more a vegetable soup. The sandwiches were made quick and were more bread than ingredients. Nice service, but lacking. read more

Today was my third time going to the Cheese Ranch and after three amazing meals it was time for a review. The first time I had the fondue. The second time was for "Parm & pasta" & today I stumbled in after a long hike. I had the Frenchy sandwich. I've had many ham/brie/fig jam sandwiches and this was absolutely the best. It was deliciously messy like a good juicy cheeseburger with just the right amount of each ingredient. I had planned to buy some cheese on the way out, but I was in such bliss that I forgot. read more

Scrambling to find some great cheese and meat to add to a charcuterie board on a Tuesday afternoon in Golden and so glad we found this place right before they were closing. We walked in and the owner, who was clearly closing up, greeted us very warmly and was eager to help. He offered us samples and took his time explaining each option. He was very gracious even though we were there well after closing. They have a great selection of cheese and meat as well as crackers and other additions to add to a meal. They also have a great sandwich and soup menu, I'll have to come back to try some of those out soon. Very excited to find this place in my hood! read more

Had a delicious sandwich! Menu was unique with really awesome combinations. Staff super friendly.

Super delicious! The Frenchy was my favorite but all were great! Cheese Kurds for starter are a must. Loved Natalia's potato salad. The hospitality from Rich makes for a fun and personable experience! Wish The Cheese Ranch was in Texas. read more

Very yummy cheese curds and charcuterie! Casual dining and quick service. The cheese curds are not breaded which caught me off guard but still yummy. read more

I literally just came from having lunch at Cheese Ranch. Sounds like Rich the owner struck gold with his retirement plan venture with the only cheese place in Golden. They officially opened their doors in August of 2016. So far so good! I got lucky having Rich there today. He's a gracious host and a one on one with was awesome! I tried two of his sandwiches. The Bay of Pig and the National Bird. Both are really good. Great cheese supply that's curated by Callum; Rich's cheese expert who's actually cheese certain certified. With a cute title of Cheese Whiz. lol ! So I'm a big fan. They offer charcuterie which is my fave and check out their weekly event! Beer and cheese pairing. Reasonably priced! I'll be back for their meat and cheese board! read more

You can't go wrong at the Cheese Ranch. Get a cheese box or charcuterie to go. Grab a sandwich and / or some soup. You'll be happy and satisfied. Rich is always happy to create something to your liking. Picnic, dinner party or dine in. read more

They previously served a sandwich called a Strami which was delicious. Recently the sandwich has become a red cabbage sandwich with perhaps a very slight hint of pastrami. Very disappointing. It is unlikely that I will waste my money there again. read more

One of the best sandwich ever!! The owner is such a amazing man. You can tell the customers love his establishment and his employees love working with him. We had three different sandwiches on the menu and they were all Delicious. Can't wait to go back for more. Great job on the cheese, business Sir!! read more
