One would think there's not much you can do with a grilled cheese sandwich, but the Grilled Cheese Gallery proves that assumption wrong. There are 13 amazing and creative choices of grilled cheese here. Don't like grilled cheese? They also serve salads, poutine, mac & cheese grilled sandwiches, ice cream and other desserts. This is Comfort Food headquarters! There were actually so many choices it was hard to choose. I chose A Night in Amsterdam: Gouda, Gruyere, Swiss, Cheddar, on Artisan White. My wife had The Queen Brie: House cured bacon, French Brie, Raspberry Puree, Balsamic on Sourdough. My Amsterdam was quite a creation: three slices balanced on a pedestal with cheese trailing down more than a foot. It was delicious! My wife lauded her Queen Brie as well. We wish we had more time in Saint Augustine as this place is definitely worth a second visit.

Yum!! I came here as part of a party of 5 on a trip to St. Augustine this past weekend. We were…read moretired and a little hangry when we walked in, and thankfully, everyone in the group loved this place! We ordered: the Amsterdam, the Artist, the Queen Brie, and the Classic (2 sandwiches). Three of us upgraded to a small cup of tomato soup (each order comes with a mini cup for dipping). I was the lucky person who ordered the Amsterdam, which, much to our surprise and delight, was served on a hook with melted cheese stretching down to the tray it was served on. Everyone had to take a photo of my sandwich! It contained a variety of cheeses, so while the taste was fairly classic, it was a bit more nuanced than the Classic sandwich, which only had cheddar cheese. Everyone else thought their sandwiches were delicious too. And we all loved the homemade tomato soup! I tend to be a bigger fan of creamy tomato soups, but this one was rich with umami flavor and had a bit of a kick. While this is a counter-service restaurant that's pretty much no-frills, the employees were friendly and helpful. One of them refilled our water cups at the table, even though the pitcher she had was leaking, and I didn't get the sense that they normally did that. Sadly, they don't sell soft serve ice cream any more, but there are so many ice cream shops in this part of St. Augustine that you can easily walk somewhere else for dessert (which we did). The place wasn't crowded on a Friday evening and had lots of menu choices, so if you like grilled cheese sandwiches, whether creative or simple, be sure to stop by the Grilled Cheese Gallery on your visit to St. Augustine!

The ordering process seemed chaotic but I ordered two Cuban sandwiches and a Cafe Con Leche for lunch. Told the wait would be 15 minutes, we sat outside in the meantime. After 25 minutes and no sandwiches, I inquired inside as to the status - finally, five minutes later the sandwiches were ready. However, no Cafe Con Leche . Again went inside, waited for the front desk server to process several orders before I could ask about the status of the drink. Nothing had been made, so another five minutes for the drink order. By this time I was plenty hungry, and was disappointed with the Cuban sandwich. It's basically a toasted ham sandwich, nothing particularly unique about it. Given the hassles just getting the meal entailed, not a great experience.

The vanilla rum was great in there. It was interesting on this trip because it was the middle of a weekday. It wasn't too packed but still bustling.

I purchased a groupon for this and the owner would not redeem it because he said he lost money on groupon. Well guess what? I lost money because I had to PAY for that groupon. So I ended up being the one to pay for his business mistakes. $5 for the groupon and another $10 for the sandwich makes it a $15 dollar sandwich. What a waste of money for a bland congealed grease sandwich. read more

Not a good experience. So you have Tweedle dee dee on the register and wunder dummy on the griddle. They couldn't take a simple order; from the taste of the meat you can tell they only clean the griddle at most 1x a day.

The staff is incredibly friendly, efficient, and somehow always manages to greet you with a smile, even during the busiest lunch rush. The prices are also refreshingly affordable these days, which makes it even easier to keep coming back. The only real drawback is the parking situation. Being right off US 1, it can get a little hectic, but if you're patient, it's easy enough to find a spot on one of the nearby side streets. My go-to order is the 2 Dogs, Fries, and a Drink combo. I usually go with a Datil Dog (that spicy datil mustard is a must!) or Spicy Dog paired with a Chicago Dog, and it's never let me down. And whatever you do, don't skip the hand-cut fries. They're perfectly crisp, absolutely delicious, and you'll wish you'd ordered an extra serving because sharing won't be an option. Hazel's is one of St. Augustine's best-kept culinary gems, especially considering how few truly great hot dog stands there are in Northeast Florida. It's no surprise that Southern Living recognized Hazel's as serving one of the South's Best Hot Dogs. Grab a seat at one of the picnic tables and soak up the classic roadside hot dog stand vibe.
