House made gluten free sandwich bread is served at The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen, located just off of SOMA’s beautiful South Park. Step up to their lunch counter and order from a selection of gourmet grilled cheese options. Sit at the bar or outside and enjoy the feel of this historic part of town. When your grilled cheese is served, prepare to be blown away because a.) you’re about to eat a sandwich and b.) the thickly sliced, moist yet crunchy GF house made bread is pretty darn perfect. The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen also serves soups, salads, and homemade pickles. The extra .50 cents for gluten free bread is a welcomed compromise for the opportunity to indulge in a good old grilled cheese.
Featured item: “Jalapeño Popper”- chèvre, monterey jack, applewood-smoked bacon, apricot-jalapeño relish.
Best Grilled Cheese in town!….AND you can enjoy it on their outside patio where you can usually get a seat (even at lunch hour)! Thumbs up for sure.
I went there last week and they told me that the gluten free bread was only suitable for those following a gluten free diet for health reasons (read: weight loss reasons), but was not suitable for those with celiac or gluten allergies. They even refused to clean off the grill or use a different pan to cut down on cross contamination. Very dissapointing
Celiacs need to be aware that this place cannot be considered safe. They cook everything on shared equipment.
