"Best Grilled Cheese in the U.S.: Beecher's Handmade Cheese - Each location grills its signature Flagship cheese—a slightly nutty blend of cheddar and Gruyère cultures—with fillings like tomato and basil."

Zagat

"Pioneering cheese maker Beecher's uses its distinctive Flagship on its toasty cheese, complementing its slightly nutty character with sliced tomatoes and basil, a playful take on a caprese."

PureWow

"Ready for the coolest thing about eating the best grilled cheese in the city? If you order it in Beecher's Flatiron shop-slash-fromagerie, you can actually watch the signature flagship cheddar (aka the cheese you’re eating) being made from curds and whey. Yep, NYC is the best place ever."

Georgia Kral

"Beecher's ages its cheeses on site, too, so its no wonder that their prepared food is just as delicious. We recommend the fig and cheese grilled sandwich -- so sweet, with a little funk."

"The 8 Best Places To Get Grilled Cheese Sandwiches In NYC: Beecher's Handmade Cheese - While some places employ the Death By Butter approach to grilling up sandwiches, Beecher's lets the cheese be the star supplier of decadent dairy, also ensuring the rustic bread doesn't get soggy or lose its crunch."

Erin Jackson

"It's simple, but in the best way possible. Both varieties of cheese are throughly melted and bring their own, unique flavor (the Just Jack is super creamy; the Flagship buttery and nutty), and the bread, brushed with oil and finished on a panini press, gets crisp and toasty."

Tabelog

"For a truly fresh and wholesome grilled cheese experience, Beecher’s takes the cake (or perhaps the cheese) on this one."

Hally Wolhandler

"It's a thin spread of fig jam that meets Beecher's own Flagship cheese, melty like Cheddar but a little nuttier and tangier, along with Just Jack to add a little extra mild creaminess to the whole thing."

Layla Khoury-Hanold

"At Seattle import Beecher’s Handmade Cheese they rely on their Flagship Cheddar, which doesn’t lose its flavor when melted, to make each of their grilled-to-order sandwiches sing."

Shane Kearns

"Now, I will never forget Beecher’s nor Beecher’s Flagship Handmade Cheese. It was that good. This grilled cheese was that good."
