This is my second time here and I still loved it! The service is great people are kind and friendly. They let me try the same of their drinks! And today I tried the bbq chicken and the one with jalapeños and bacon. They were both delicious!!! I tried the pepperoni and potato one the first time. I like them all!!! My top fav is probably the potato one because I personally like potato. read more

Cheesewalla - Sandwiches - Sandwiches Near Me - Redlands, California

I had never been to this restaurant or ordered from them. But I know they make unexpected sandwiches that haunt you. My husband came in from his food delivery job and left a Cheesewalla package on the counter. He said it was a mistake as he headed back out. It smelled good so I checked it out. Get this, BBQ, brisket, macaroni and cheese, more cheese, incredible sauce. Astounding!!! It was no mistake! read more

It's a really good place.. but it's location is really small and tight. When I went there is was quite a long wait because on two people where working there. The food was ok it was a little to rich and needed to tone down a bit. But their unique food where a surprise and surprisingly good. read more

Best grilled cheeses ever! I love the jalapeño popper one, but I always sub the bacon for chicken! Get the tots too! So yummy!

First of all what weirdo doesn't like a grilled cheese? But a grilled cheese stuffed with so many options equals mind blown! Personal favorite is the BBQ Mac or the jalapeño popper grilled cheese! Incredible staff and owners. Food doesn't miss a beat. Tater tots... are you kidding me? Incredible! read more

I couldnt resist, I got both the samosa and spinach and artichoke! They were both amazing. They didnt have the tater tots anymore so I got the sweet potato fries. The fries were just ok but the sandwiches definitely help tip the restaurant into a bookmark save. I would go back to try their bbq mac and margherita pizza next time. read more

Was great food. Would give five stars if they would just a bit more bbq meat to the loaded tots.

My friends and I decided to each get different sandwiches. Some sandwiches looked more toasted than others (some were perfectly crispy but some were soggy and not toasted enough) and I felt they should have all been crispy since we paid around the same amount. Here are the ones we ordered: 1. Jalapeno Poppers grilled cheese: this was definitely my favorite out of the four. It had the most flavor compared to the others, by far. 5/5. 2. Traditional: it just tasted like a plain grilled cheese. Definitely something anyone can make at home, I would recommend ordering something other than this. 1/5. 3. Spinach and Artichoke: my second favorite out of the four. I would give it a 3/5, it was pretty standard. 4. BBQ Mac and Cheese: the meat was pretty dry in my opinion and the mac and cheese could have had more flavor. The sandwich was on the sweeter side. 3/5. It is a small shop but they have plenty of seats outside in the cute alleyways. It would be a great place to have a photoshoot after a quick bite. My friends and I street parked, but I saw some nearby parking structures as well. read more

Cheesewalla - spinach artichoke & tots. - Sandwiches Near Me - Redlands, California

I keep forgetting about the awesome promotion of an order discount when you check in. Doh! My go-to item is the samosa grilled cheese. It's just a great combination of Desi-meets-quintessential-American cuisine and I order it everytime I bring fellow diners. If you want to change it up, try it with pepper jack cheese or the jalapeno bread. The yogurt and tamarind sauces are awesome! I brought vegan friends and they enjoyed their vegan samosa sandwich. I thought it was cheesier that the real dairy option. The tots are a generous serving, too! read more

mario is the best and most charismatic employee ive met! when i had a problem with my order, he helped with a smile and some jokes. pretty nice you dont get that much these days. thank you cheesewalla! read more

Their gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches are quite good. A number of different varieties to choose from, The tomato bisque soup is yummy. My only complaint is I don't care for eating with plastic spoons etc and the seating is mostly outside on rickety picnic tables. For the prices they get for the food, I think they can afford to invest in some decent seating for the customers and real flatware, read more

Food was good. Service was fast. The only thing that was a huge disappointment for me was that when we (my husband and I) ordered our combos we were not informed that the sides we ordered were premium sides and would be charged extra for them. This is the whole reason they get the 2 stars. It felt like they are trying to take advantage of us by withholding this information. I understand that certain sides are more expensive to order but you need to communicate that with the customers this fact. TL;DR Food 5 Service -3 Total experience 2 read more

Staff seemed rude with no personality. The lady with brown hair taking orders made me feel like she was annoyed with me for trying to order. She didn't say hello or greet customers with a smile or any happiness. Hire people that make you want to come back ! The food is good but pricey for grilled cheese. read more

Yum!! I got the pepperoni sandwich, which is crusted with parmesan and cheddar cheese, they also give you marinara sauce on the side. It was so delicious! My mom got the caprese sandwich which is definitely lighter than mine but also so good!! We also shared some sweet potato tots and to my surprise they were actually so sweet and soft!! I am so glad i came and tried this place out read more

I don't know where the name Cheesewalla comes from, but when you make something as simple as a grilled cheese reimagined into a hearty adult meal, you can call yourself whatever you want. The Jalapeno Popper sandwich is great. Just like a bacon wrapped jalapeno popper should be, it had plenty of bacon, cream cheese and jalapeno that bites back! The bread (jalapeno cheese bread) is toasted perfectly to give it a nice, crisp texture and there wasn't a bite of my sandwich that didn't have ingredient in it. Overall, I was satisfied. My coworker ordered the loaded baked potato sandwich (and was kind enough to give me a bite). It had cheddar, monterey jack, baked potato, bacon, sour cream and green onion inside and was served between sourdough. Though I liked my choice better, this sandwich was pretty good too. We shared the tater tots and they are pretty good. They've got that addictive McDonald's hash brown taste and were crunchy outside and soft inside. At the time I'm writing this review, Yelp has it rated as "Hot and New", so guess what? You're gonna wait a while if you decide to come here and eat. Peek inside to see the "wait time" listed on a whiteboard behind the counter which lets you know how long you'll wait after placing an order for your food (current wait time during lunch rush was 15 minutes). I mean, if you're a yelper, chances are you're addicted to your cell phone anyway, allow it to comfort you for an additional 15 minutes the day you plan on visiting Cheesewalla. read more

Cheesewalla - Sandwiches Near Me - Redlands, California

Loved the location!! I can't wait for this place to be poppin on Fridays and Saturdays. Why? Bc they'll be open til 2 am!! Love that the alley looks so much more inviting too. The space is small, but it's one of those quick-casual places. Order and you can take your order outside (there are chairs and tables) or inside the main building (chairs and tables there too). It is located near the Orange St entrance to the alley near the street art painting of the lion. Me and my fiance ordered the buffalo chicken and it was pretty bomb. Bummed to find out that bbq Mac ran out but i could understand why there'd be a limited supply. Probably testing out the waters before they order more supplies (understandable bc they are new). I've seen their pop-up stand at market night on Thursdays so I'm glad to see a brick and mortar. I'll be back! read more

Okay! Let me start off by saying, the food I ordered through delivery was amazing!! Fresh and the serving size was on point for the price!! Sadly, the delivery service they go through forgot my drink. I have not gotten a refund through the delivery service. When I called Cheesewalla they did offer to give me one if I wanted to go pick it up, thank you! Customer service is amazing!! read more

Delicious little gem in Redlands! We had the BBQ Mac sandwich, which was rich and delicious. Also the Margherita Pizza Sandwich, Which was bright light and fresh. Cheesy tots were good but would have probably been better "loaded". With just cheese they were just okay. Seating was a bit rough with some it baby, no seating just a patio which was totally full. We sat inside the hallway of the building the restaurant is in. No biggie. The girl working the front with the red bangs was adorable and very friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

Finally got to Cheesewalla after reading so many great reviews. Let's just say it was a mixed bag. Firstly... the service was so.... incredibly... slow. I don't know if they were understaffed, or training new people or what. But there were only about 3 people in front of me when I came in and I waited half an hour for 2 sandwiches and an order of tots. I also saw some very cold customer service towards some other patrons. Ahh the tots. We got the sweet potato tots. They were not good. They were not crispy. Sort of mushy and flavorless. BUT. The saving grace was the damn grilled cheese sandwiches. They were bomb. Maybe the best we've ever had. I got the Buffalo Chicken and my wife got a Vegan Traditional. These saved 3 stars on their own! So, we'd like to go back again and hopefully they have their service issues figured out! Love supporting small startups. And they're getting a beer license soon. :D read more

Haven't visited since they expanded sit-down space, but always love their grilled cheese & soup on a cold or rainy day!

This was my time at Cheesewalla in Redlands and it was absolutely fantastic. The tomato soup was a perfect addition to the best grilled cheese I've ever had. I loved the citrus infused water that was available as well. read more

So happy that Cheesewalla is finally open! I tried their Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese and I was thoroughly impressed! The bread had a great crunch and the chicken and cheese was packed with flavor. Customer service here is A+. My sandwich came out pretty quickly and I picked it up through the window on the Fifth Street Alley. Pro tip: they are open until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights. I will definitely be coming back! A welcome addition to Downtown Redlands! read more

Service was ok as we were by passed for ordering and then left hanging for a while. We ordered and when the food came, it was ok. It was tasty, but the tatertots had cheese that was not melted and were left like, What? I may try it again some day, but that's if I lose the coin toss. read more

FINALLY! A legit grilled cheese spot has arrived. Came in today for their grand opening and was really impressed! The food and service were fantastic and I can already tell that they're going to be a really welcomed addition to the Redlands food scene. Take a break from your diet that you probably hate and visit Cheesewalla! Food: From the moment you walk in, you'll notice their huge blackboard listing all of their menu items. It's a pretty large selection of different grilled cheeses from a classic to even one with PB & J! We got a bunch of different options that included the jalapeño poppers, spinach artichoke, and mac & cheese. The jalapeño poppers and spinach artichoke were definitely my favorites! The jalapeño poppers had a bit of kick from the peppers and the bacon made it even better. As for the spinach artichoke, it was deliciously savory. Keep in mind that these are grilled cheese sandwiches so they aren't the healthiest option, i.e., you're gonna have a lot of oil on your fingers afterwards. As for the price, you're looking at $7-8 per grilled cheese, which is think is a great price and worth the money. Service: The line was pretty long but it was the grand opening so it's expected. Overall, I thought the service was great. They had to stop the orders momentarily as the kitchen was trying to catch up to the huge amount of orders being made--nothing I can fault them for since they were so busy. In that time, the cashiers were friendly and expressed their gratitude for our patience. Vibes: Cheesewalla is a perfect addition to Redlands! They give off friendly, welcoming vibes to an already amazing community. Be aware that the shop itself is pretty small and there's only outdoor seating. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Cheesewalla if you're looking for a savory, don't-care-if-my-body-hates-me kind of snack! Grab one to-go and explore the nearby shops! read more

Tried the Traditional grilled cheese and I wasn't impressed- you can definitely make a really good grilled cheese with a few things from the grocery store for way less money. The mac and cheese was not creamy. It was plain and the cheese was clumped and flakey. I ordered a side of tater tots which I thought were really good. Within an hour I was painfully bloated with a stomach ache. I thought it was just me but I had taken my left over tots home to my boyfriend and he also had the same reaction. Not sure what's going on with this place or if it's not being cooked/cleaned properly but I wouldn't recommend. read more

It's a grilled cheese lovers fantasy, lol! Food is great. Customer service is good. It does get busy, but that's to be expected with good food. I recommend the pepperoni pizza grilled cheese with the tots. Getting hungry just writing this review. read more

This place was amazing. Grilled cheese never had one that tasted so good. I had the Buffalo Chicken and it was delicious, perfect amount of sauce not too spicy. My nephew had the Loaded Potato and although it was good it had a bit filing but never the less it was good. My husband had the BBQ and it was very good perhaps better then all the other two we tasted. Of course we all had to share cutting half of the half. We also got the tomato soup (don't recall the name exactly) it was tasty like nothing I have ever tasted. Great little spot a bit far for me but would definitely go back when in town. read more

Cheesewalla - Opposite side of alley. - Sandwiches Near Me - Redlands, California

It is so great to see Redlands restaurant scene grow with modern choices and trying to be artisan/gourmet. Really it is the only area after Claremont and before Palm Springs to have this type of cuisine emerging. Flavor forward trying new combinations is important and fun. This place does that, I hope they grow into embracing more flavor would be my only suggestion here, you need to.do more then combining a few cheeses, like tumeric or cardamom, etc read more

Cheesewalla - Sandwiches Near Me - Redlands, California

Location: located in downtown redlands! It could be tricky to get here because if you're coming from the alley way you may walk right past it. Another entrance is coming from the direction of the cvs pharmacy, only way you can tell where to go is the make shift stand that points you in the direction of Cheesewalla. Interior: Once you're inside you'll notice that the place is really REALLY tiny! I would say it's set up like Starbucks where you form a line to order your food minus the tables & chair you wait at after. Don't worry! There are tables & chairs outside their store though. Customer Service: This is my second time here & the wait is kind of long. I'm not sure whether the workers are just slow or making a grilled sandwich takes that long? But every time I've had to wait for a while before I got my food. Yesterday when I went I asked for a cup of water & I stood there 5 minutes in front of them after I asked bc they were trying to fix a technical issue but honestly the water machine was right behind them, they could have just reached over & got me the cup instead of me staring at them trying to fix their iPad screen. They did however apologize for the wait. My boyfriend also got up to get water & he also had to wait a while when there were no customers. Although the employees were nice they should pick up the pace. Food: I ordered the Loaded Potato Grilled Sandwich & the Tomato Basil Bisque Soup. DELICIOUS. I'm not a huge fan of sandwiches let alone grilled sandwiches bc I've always found them bland or too simple but this place takes the prize! I love their grilled sandwiches, there's so much flavor in them. Depending on which sandwich you get, it does taste good dipped in their Tomato Basil Bisque! Rating: Although I do really love the food here the waiting time puts a damper on my rating. Also they should expand the store bc during lunch hour the line forms outside the door as well. It's a bit claustrophobic in there once it gets busy so you'll struggle getting in & out of the store once you're finished ordering if there's a long line. I do still highly recommend the sandwiches though, just be prepared for a long waiting! read more

Food was not cooked, the sauces provided were old and congealed. They smelled like rotten eggs. We called back to inform them of these issues and were hung up on. Terrible restaurant. read more

My experience began by parking on Citrus Ave and walking into an inside plaza. The first thing I noticed was the heavy bathroom smell and thought...I hope this place is located further away. But no, it's right there! Not a total deal breaker at first, but I did check to see if there was a separate indoor dining area. There's not, but they have a neat shady patio area on the other side of the entrance. Great! We order the jalapeno popper and the loaded potato sandwiches. This place takes grilled cheese to a whole new level! But the menu isn't big. Also got some tots, zucchini sticks, and drinks. We pay for the order and I walk to the bathroom to wash my hands since I will be eating with my hands. There's a code lock on the bathroom door. So I walk back into the restaurant and ask for the code. The worker says she will be in there in a moment to unlock the door. Can I not just have the code?? So I walk over and wait...thinking she will forget about me. Waited several minutes and came back to the window...sure enough she forgot. So she hustles to the bathroom to let me in while another lady was ready to place an order. Seriously...cant I just have the code? At this point, I am embarrassed that I had to pull the employee out of the line to let me in. By the time I'm done, food was out. It was good! Nothing to write home about. It's just grilled cheese with a mix of add-ins like bacon, jalapenos, sour cream, etc. The zucchini sticks were disappointing!! My suggestion is that if you're gonna serve food that people have to eat with their hands, they should have easily accessible bathrooms to wash them. This place is located what seems like downtown. I'm sure homeless is an issue which is why the bathrooms are under lock down, but also another reason why I really needed to wash as the door handles havent been given much attention anyways. This was an interesting visit, but probably won't be a repeat as the parking is difficult for a quick bite and the situation was awkward. read more

The food was so good and definitely hit the spot! Our service was also superb! A huge thank you to Skylar who had a great sense of humor and made top notch good recommendations. Skylar also went out of his way to make sure our table was clean and the extra touch really added to the positive experience! We will definitely be back!! read more

If you have an apetite for grilled cheese sanwiches with a twist, this place is for you! With a menu that will satisfy your tastebuds, my personal favorite is the Samosa.

Trying a few sandwiches here in the past, I found this to be my favorite. read more
