Great food and awesome atmosphere! And the service is always wonderful, the employees are so friendly and welcoming.

The food was absolutely delicious and it was great vibes for a lunch spot! We got the feta dip with extra baguettes and it was divine! read more

Cute outdoor place to get wine, charcuterie boards, or sandwiches. I've been before with groups and I think it's a great area for groups (may have trouble finding a table). And I wanted to love my food. But it was honestly burnt,... French Onion Grilled Cheese - too toasted... Caramelized onion, Gruyere and white cheddar on rye bread Tomato basil & goat cheese soup Pimento Goat Cheese & Gouda Bacon Jam - this was great! House-made pimento cheese with goat cheese, aged gouda & our own bacon & onion jam on sourdough bread read more

Review on charcuterie boards only... Don't waste your time or money. My board was mostly pickles, olives and walnuts; hardly any meat and cheese not even cut up. Also it had strawberries (not mentioned on the menu). I am allergic so I had to toss a least 1/4 of the board as the crackers were soggy from the fruit juice. read more

This place was great! The food was great but not too heavy and the wine selection was appropriate. We sat outside and it was pleasant. Our waitress was attentive. It wasn't until they got close to closing time when we were asked to leave. Understandably, but the approach was disappointing. Overall a good experience though. Just don't come between the team Going home. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect researching this place! We really aren't cheese snobs but were looking for somewhere for a good sandwich. We ordered and sat at an outdoor table underneath a canopy type thing. I really didn't see any indoor tables. I got the balsamic chicken salad on a Crossaint , I've never had chicken salad like this but it was SO GOOD. My husband got the Italian, he loved it. Perfect combo of ingredients. It started POURING so we were happy to be under something and they even managed to pull something down on the side so the rain wouldn't hit us sideways. It was a wicked storm actually but the staff seemed used to it and they acted SO QUICK to make sure everyone could eat comfortably! With only outdoor seating I still loved the ambiance. I hope to return to try more! read more

The Cheese Cottage - Delicious!! The Ploughman - Cheese Shops Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Such a neat little sandwich shop in Mobile. FYI they only have outdoor seating but it's covered by umbrellas and a big overhang for shade from the sun on a hot day. We also happened to be there during a passing rainstorm and the staff was professional making sure everyone was covered and still making sure people got their food, didn't miss a beat! Now to the food! I ordered their Italian sandwich which featured capocollo, salami, banana peppers, arugula and some provolone cheese on Cuban bread. Sandwich was very tasty, good portion and loved the banana peppers as a nice touch. Also loved the way the cheese melted onto the sandwich. My partner got the Balsamic Chicken Salad Croissant. Full of flavor and fresh, she has never had a chicken salad sandwich with balsamic on it before, she said it was one of the best things she ate in Mobile. read more

When I tell you their food is delicious, you need to run to their restaurant. Such a fresh and creative establishment. They have the friendliest service, great atmosphere and wonderful food options. Thank you guys, we will make the drive from Fairhope and come back. read more

The charcuterie board was fantastic. More than enough for two people. They had a rose lemonade that was a nice surprise. The Hungarian mushroom stew had amazing flavor. The service is very laid back and friendly. Love their attitude! The fact that it is all outdoor seating threw me off at first but it is super cute and comfortable. read more

Always a great choice. I have never been disappointed here. The wine, the dessert, the Georgian appetizer. Amazing. Try the specials!

Great ambiance and super friendly staff. Just killing a few minutes before business! Great selection of small plates and drinks.

Great patio with a fire pit, live music on the weekends and right next door to Old Majestic. Sandwiches and cheese boards are great! Just a fun place to hang out with a group or on an afternoon date. read more

This is my second visit. Food was just as good this time as it was last time. Amazing. Service is phenomenal. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and extra helpful. It was nice and cool outside and there was a woman playing guitar and singing next to us and she set the move for a very relaxed atmosphere. read more

It may be a good place to go for wine and a cheese board I really do not know for sure but unfortunately I went for lunch. Not a good lunch place. The Sandwich was fairly small but most disappointingly the amount of cheese that came with the turkey was minuscule and paltry. There was so little cheese on the sandwich you could not even taste it. Ironic that they call it the "cheese" cottage. The "side"was also exceedingly weak. Chips only. If you were going to call yourself the cheese cottage at least get some potato salad, pasta salad or something other than chips. I went away from my lunch very hungry! They also do not have ice so the drinks are not very cold. I get it you are trying to provide the European milieu but you are in Mobile Alabama. read more

OMG! How in THE entire heck have I never reviewed The Cheese Cottage? I live for this place! Kristi and the crew are literally fantastic, and the cheese (good Lord, the cheese) is phenomenal. Along with that, their sandwiches (actually, their menu on the whole), and wine selection is excellent! Sidebar: If you have never been to raclette night, you're doing it ALL wrong! That's honestly where I'd like to spend the rest of my days. Finally, shouts out to the amazing Sunday brunch menu, and salmon lox bagel that I'm literally obsessed with. In current events: CC has closed for the social distancing period, but when they reopen, I'll be back there with bells on! read more

Super cool, little place with lots of character. I never knew this place existed and stumbled upon it when I was looking for the Old Majestic Brewing Company, which is right next to it! They have a fair amount of outside dining. We had a couple sandwiches for dinner, I had the turkey with cranberry slaw and my wife had the chicken salad with pimento cheese. Both sandwiches were awesome and came with a side of potato chips. They have a nice selection of wine by the half bottle and several gourmet items you can purchase to go. In addition to the sandwiches they offer charcuterie & cheese boards. Service was friendly and the food was served quickly. Looking forward to a return visit! read more

This place is my fave! I go to Mobile just to get a chance to stop by and get a board. Have loved everyone I've gotten. The spinach feta dip is delicious as well. read more

Quaint little sandwich shop with outdoor only seating. Charcuterie, wine, and sandwiches under the umbrella on a sunny day with good friends equals a perfect way to spend a sunny day. Food is always delicious, service is typically a little slow but pleasant. We love Cheese Cottage! read more

Very disappointed! Been here before and enjoyed the food. Cute place! Today we arrived more than 1 hour prior to closing. Many open tables! They told us (2 people) they were too backed up and couldn't serve us???? Two of the three people we interacted with could have cared less about our business. There were at least 4 people working. Won't be back. Very sad! read more

LOVE this place. Such a cute outdoor area for a nice day. The first of the month brunch is very tasty and they do a great mimosa deal with champagne by the bottle. Fast service and they will do a table reservation. read more

Stopped by with a friend early on a Saturday afternoon. Quickly seated outside. Our waitress was very attentive even while serving several other tables. Water was served, wine came out quickly with a chill pack...nice touch on a warm day. Ordered a large salad to split and a delicious board! Goat cheese with honey, prosciutto, pickled Brussel sprouts and many other delights were scrumptious! And then...the poached pear with Mascarpone! A completely delightful experience! We will be back soon! read more

We weren't greeted, barely acknowledged, so we ordered our food to go. Took so long to get our food, we decided to eat there with our to go boxes. The waitress refused to wait on us and we were totally ignored. They had a plastic water bucket that stayed in the hot sun all day to help ourselves to complimentary water. Yuck! But no service, no cold beverage. Wouldn't go back, rude service! read more

Perfect ambience, delicious pimento goat cheese sandwich with bacon jam, and I am now hooked on the rose lemonade they served.

The atmosphere was great - outdoor seating and self serve water, but the service was subpar. After placing our food and drink orders, we were served our wine, but the cheese board took over an hour to come out. We were reassured a couple of times that our board was being prepared, but other tables near us were receiving their boards and food - so, I can't help but think that something went wrong. After more than an hour of waiting, I went inside to check on the cheese board order and was told that it would take 5 more minutes. The cheese board arrived, but our bottles of wine - which we had hoped to drink with the cheese board - were already empty. One of the servers brought a sample of one wine for the others at my table to taste after we all brought up that the cheese board had taken so long to come out that we had drank all of the wine, but she didn't bring me one, even though I was also out of wine. It may have been because I had ordered a half bottle of white wine while the others shared a bottle of red, but I was certainly disappointed that she hadn't asked if I would also like to try it. The cheese board was good, but there are other places in Mobile to go for cheese and wine that have much better service than I experienced that night. read more

Soooo good! Great service! Sandwiches, soups salads and drinks. Highly recommend and will return! read more

The Cheese Cottage is a must-see when you're in the Mobile area. The renovated space inside is very cute, and the covered patio is a beautiful spot to enjoy nice weather. I stopped in on a Friday and found plenty of parking nearby. I tried the pimento goat cheese and Gouda bacon jam sandwich. This was a new combo for me, but it really worked well and the chips were tasty too. The owner and staff were also very friendly, and the meats I took home for friends got great reviews. Definitely recommend stopping in! read more

The Cheese Cottage - Yum yum yum!!! - Cheese Shops Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

My wife and I both heard of this independently of one another. We compared notes and realized that we both wanted to try this place. Parking is limited street parking with additional parking if you take the empty building's parking across the road. The building is small, and there are only three small tables inside. There is ample outdoor seating, but as it was over 95° out, we opted to crowd into an inside table. The selection of cheese in the display was small. But I had a great laugh when I saw the Wensleydale and had to thank John Clease for that. The shop was quaint. Decorated very nicely. There is a fairly large selection of wines, some beers and a great array of cheese, salads and sandwiches. Brunch is on the Sunday that follows the estate sale across the road. We had seen the charcuterie before we came to the Cheese Cottage and had been waiting for a chance to try this one. We ordered a half - which was more than plenty for two. It was wonderful. I can't name all of the things but there was a dragon prosciutto that was to die for and I had never had triple cream Brie. It was wonderful on the bread, crackers and even on the wine poached pear. Just fantastic. When it is served, the staff will explain each item on the board. I had the duck breast prosciutto salad with a most wonderful raspberry vinaigrette. Absolutely wonderful and worth the trip alone. Just Wow! I had a San Pellegrino and the wife coffee. Total was $53. Now, don't get all worked up. I gladly paid that price for the experience. We were treated like family even though it was our first time there. We were thanked repeatedly for our patronage. You must try this pace if you ever have had any interest in the finer things in life. We will definitely be back. read more

This place is adorable, inside and out! It even looks like what I envision a little mouse house would look like. We stopped in today to pick up some dips to go. We decided on the muffuletta dip and the Mediterranean dip. They're made right there in the little mouse house and I couldn't make the dips myself for the prices they sell for, and mine wouldn't taste nearly as good. Of course, the cheese selection is out of this world. You can buy just the cheese or enjoy a perfectly put together charcuterie board. I don't know whether or not the owner, Kristi, is a fromager, but she's sure a gift sent down straight out of heaven to bring us a cheesy paradise right here in Mobile ("Moh-BEEL"). They also sell crackers, cheese straws, wine and beer. They serve specialty lunches during the week and they serve brunch on Sunday. In addition to the small tables inside, there's a huge covered patio outside with plenty of seating. Whether you're looking for a place to go for date night, girls night out, lunch, or simply just stopping in to pick up something to serve at a party, I highly recommend the little mouse house on St Louis Street! read more

I enjoyed this adorable wine and cheese cottage after shopping at the antique store on Saturday. This place is so quaint and precious - inside and out! I had the highly recommended sausage, kale and cauliflower soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. It was really yummy! In the case were beautiful dips for sale including a delicious looking Mediterranean dip! I cannot wait to go back and try more amazing options! read more

We ordered through Waitr and had it delivered, so I can't speak for the physical location or ambience, but this place is AMAZING! The Reuben was outstanding, as was the blueberry Brie sandwich (although a bit too sweet for a meal- better as an appetizer). We did a "build your own" cheese plate that came filled with fruit, crackers, bread, nuts, meats, and amazing cheeses! The presentation was wonderful, especially considering it was delivery. The highlight: a lemon goat cheesecake. YUM. the best dessert I've ever had. This place is phenomenal and it is my new favorite- make sure to check it out! read more

Heading back across the bay...we needed a quick bite and it wasn't freezing outside... I thought, "here's my chance to get the hubs to take me to the cheese cottage". Totally worked!! Food came out super quick, and it was lovely! We tried the Reuben and the Special of the day which was a Blueberry Brie Sandwich. I loved both! The Blueberry Brie was much more savory than I had expected. The Brie was very saltyish and the Blueberry wasn't super sweet. I really enjoyed it but I'm thinking I would like to try something else next time. I was wishing I'd gotten the Pimento cheese chicken salad. I tried that once when I came here alone. It was superb! I'll be back! read more
