I ordered The Jake, loved it . Very fresh, staff was very professional. Looking forward to hanging out with you guys again.
Try the Duke! And the other great grilled cheeses! They were really good.
Very nice grilled cheese. We got classics ( 1 with ham, 1 with bacon onion jam and one plain ). Unfortunately, the BACON onion jam was literally onion bacon flavoredish jam, it could use a bit more. The ham option was great! Service was nice, they were friendly, pleasant and quick with the order. I would order again to try another menu option. 8.5/10 - check them out if you are in Chicago
The Loop offers plenty of dining options but for a quick and mostly homemade lunch or snack, check out Gayle V's best ever grilled cheese located in The Pedway. The classic Mac is so good, Mac and cheese wedges into The classic grilled cheese (fresh sourdough). Such cheesy goodness. And try The Jake, it's Gouda, ham and apple butter. Savory and sweet, a perfect balanced Sammie. Want a little something more, you gotta try the tomato pesto soup. Not from a can, all homemade.
Good Gluten Free grilled cheese and tomato soup. They will ask if you are celiac or just gluten free to make sure they prepare your meal extra safe. Food was good but not 💯 what I expected. I thought it was going to be on gf bread but it was on pita bread. Still would recommend it and come again!
The food was very good... sandwich was hot and filling, mac n cheese was delicious, and their chips were also delicious and fresh. I think the staff bring a great deal of heart with them to work, and made for a perfect experience. If you're stuck for which soda to get, I loved the Champagne Soda - which was a staff pick.
Open space. Bright atmosphere. Friendly staff. Convenient location. They have a simple and tasty menu. A few grilled cheese options, but they are all delicious. Pairing it with the tomato soup is a must. The staff was very friendly and helped me with the menu. I ordered the grill cheese and tomato soup with a black cherry soda. They brought my meal to me when it was ready. The grilled cheese was Perfect. I wish I went downtown more often, because I love it here.
Hidden gem! Not easily seen from outdoors, but go underground in the mall toward the red line metro station and you'll find it. Excellent service, amazing sandwiches and very nice atmosphere. 100% recommended.
To elaborate on my 5 star review, this place has a wonderfully calming atmosphere, kind staff and AMAZING food. Always my go to stop on my way from the blue line to red line. This is by far one of my favorite grilled cheese/tomato soup combos!
When they said "best grilled chese", I thought that was impossible. They definitely proved me wrong. I just had a Classic grilled chese and it was the best I have ever had! I would highly recommend this place to everyone! We had a group of 14 and the service was fantastic! Everyone said it was the best grilled chese they had ever eaten! I would have taken more pictures of my sandwich but it was gone very quickly.
The grilled cheese is amazing, the soup is amazing. A lot of what they have here is locally sourced. This place is a good representation of Chicago’s famous cuisine. Definitely a place to go when you’re looking for good food options.
I just had a great grilled cheese!! The ladies in there were super nice and helpful. I think I got the Italian, which was suggested to get with blue cheese. The sandwich was perfect and hit the spot. The shrooms, onions, and ooey gooey cheese were a great combo for my pallet. I don't even like mushrooms. Thanks for making my lunch great.
Thanks, Gayle. I went back last week. It most definitely was the River Valley, and I don't even like mushrooms. So good!!!!!💋🤎
Farm to Fork GLUTEN FREE GOODNESS!
Pic speaks for its self
Cheese, meat, everything …. FRESH!
Great food and amazing service, great place for lunch if you got jury duty.
Great location. Fresh delicious made to order sandwiches with homemade chips. Excellent service.
Checking out the Tuesday Farmers Market at MCA, I followed the buttery grilled bread scents to find Gayle V's Best Ever Grilled Cheese stand. I am here to testify that their name speaks the truth. We ordered the Classic and were not disappointed. The sourdough bread was grilled to perfection. I really liked the flavor blend of the butterkaise cheese and bread and the texture of the grilled bread and melted cheese. It wasn't a meal. It was an experience. Trying to post the video of the perfect cheese pull!
Visiting Chicago for the weekend and wanted something different to start our day. We are sooo glad that we found Gayle’s!… If you want an amazing grilled cheese, this is the place! We got there just after 10 and got a breakfast sandwich 1 and a breakfast sandwich 4. Both were amazingly good and the cheese was stringy and gooey. The number 4 had chorizo and cilantro so it was a bit more savory while the number 1 had some syrup and was a nice sweet finish to the meal! This was a perfect stop while walking around seeing the sights! Can’t wait to come back and try lunch!! Also a shoutout to the nice young lady working the register who was friendly and helpful!
