OUR STORY

A STORY TO SAVOR

They say that some of the greatest success stories emanate from the most unlikely of circumstances, and New York Grilled Cheese is one such story. The father-son team that first opened the yogurt store soon realized that the frozen yogurt market in South Florida was oversaturated. In a moment of inspiration with their entrepreneurial spirit and knack for fabulous foods under their belt; New York Grilled Cheese, Home Of The Waffled Grilled Cheese®, was the happy result.

The incredible success has turned New York Grilled Cheese into a local staple where patrons can order up the best-grilled cheese in all of South Florida; we may even have a few awards telling us too. Using the right mix of breads, fine cheeses, and fresh ingredients we have transcended America's classic comfort food into "Julia Child's riding a unicorn," as once described . At our core, we continuously strive for speedy service, high - quality fresh food, and delightful flavor combinations to bring you the BEST grilled cheese, with a twist!

HERE’S OUR STORY.

From her humble beginnings serving her beloved son her grilled cheese sandwiches through her discovery that New York Grilled Cheese has replaced his favorite food of hers! Brie went into an inconsolable rage and depression – the darkest place she has ever been in her life. After hitting rock bottom, she gorges herself on everything New York Grilled Cheese has to offer. And suddenly, she discovers her purpose in life IS New York Grilled Cheese. Brie is now our iconic shop’s biggest fan, taking to Yelp and Facebook, telling the world of our waffled deliciousness.

WE ONLY USE THE BEST OF THE BEST TO MAKE THE BEST.

Around here. Mama and her team believe that high quality makes the grilled cheese even greater - and the same goes for ALL our delectable treats, sides and sweets. I mean, you can’t call it the best restaurant around without fresh, unique, artisanal ingredients, can you?

From the fresh-baked bread, made daily in house, to the ripest and juiciest tomatoes for our world famous tomato bisque, the buck stops here for all things yumtastic and delicious. We slow-roast our USDA Graded Choice of beef brisket for our meaty melts, wrap our 100% uncured Angus hot dogs in the most perfectly crisp applewood smoked bacon, and even source our eggs and poultry from hormone free chickens.

If you thought it couldn't get any tastier, you just sit right down and hold your grilled cheese-lovin’ horses. Fresh American milk and cream are used in all our products - from our melty cheese right on down to our bread puddings and sauces. Oh, and it’s the real truffle oil that puts the shuffle in our truffle shuffle!

Bon appetit, babies- you’re about to embark on a REAL tasty adventure - for the best sandwich in Fort Lauderdale, the tastiest grilled cheese in Boca, or the best brunch, lunch and late-night dining options - you’ve come to the right place.
