Grilled Cheese Mania

My daughter and son: “Best grilled cheese we’ve ever had.”

Me: Love the food and the vibe. We go out of our way to eat here. I’m able to get a gluten free vegan grilled cheese that’s delicious. A rare treat for someone with a very unruly, mean and uncooperative stomach.

GCM is amazing! The gf bread is tasty and has a good texture. Staff is very knowledgeable and serious about cross contamination. I don’t have celiac but my close friend does and has been fine eating here. Sandwiches are marked gf and can be marked celiac. There’s a separate preparation area for gf orders! They offer vegan cheese for those with dairy issues or a vegan diet. Outside seating for dogs and they have milk bones right inside the door for pups:)

The owner is a sweetheart who was nice to our kids. They knew exactly what was gluten free and had a gf menu. They were 100% prepared to give us great service and a great experience. My wife did not get sick and she has Celiac's disease.

Went twice in the span of a few weeks while driving through Virginia. Very easy and quick to access off the interstate. The food is delicious. There is signage for celiac disease and when we ordered gluten free they asked whether it was celiac disease so that they could take extra precautions. Terrific place all around.

Amazing gluten free grilled cheese. They have a separate menu, and they even have a little sign that says let us know if you have celiac. I felt very safe eating here. They wrap the grilled cheese in foil and cook on a press. I have the mama mania gluten free and loved it.

They use canyon bake house gf bread. If you specify celiac they wrap your sandwich in foil before putting it on the grill press to eliminate cross contamination. Great food!!! Love the soup too!

This place is an awesome find! Had the Jersey Boy grilled cheese which had ham, pork, fried egg, and cheese and a side of tomato soup. All delicious and sandwich came out marked “GF - celiac”. It was toasted and made in a separate area of the kitchen. Great safety protocols and did not get sick!

Great experience. I went with my family and when they brought the food out they said they were remaking mine because it came into contact with regular bread. I was so thankful they followed the correct protocols and my sandwich was great.

The staff was knowledgeable about celiac and took precautions to make sure my meal was safe. I had the classic Johnny with ham added, it was delicious! They grilled my sandwich on a piece of aluminum foil and wrapped it in the same foil to reduce chance of cross contamination.

I appreciate any place that offers GF options and can safely prepare me a meal, which aptly describes this place. That said, I just did not like my sandwich (GF tuna melt), nor did my gluten-eating friend like theirs (I forget what he ordered). It was A LOT of bread, and not much flavor, and my tuna fish was very soupy, which made eating it as a sandwich impossible. I did not get sick and believe they are very careful.

The owner came out and spoke to us. Her daughter is celiac and she assured us that she takes appropriate precautions with prepping if we share the need. There are several more options for gluten free options now. Pb&j, tuna melt, Han & cheese, and several others. They are updating their menu. She was not aware that paper straws contain wheat binder but I shared that with her.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Only two of the grilled cheese options can be made gluten free (not sure why, it seems like most of the other ingredients should be fine), but the mama’s was REALLY good

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious grilled cheese sandwich. Would not know it was gluten free!!

Super friendly staff that was on my GF needs immediately. Delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've eaten here at least twenty times in the past two years. I always get the Mama Mania, and they're very good about asking if I need it prepared for Celiac just in case I forget. I am extremely thankful for them.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Kathleen (the manager) is awesome! Tell them you have celiac and it's no problem! One of my favorite places in town.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sandwiches were absolutely delicious! They asked if I needed grill cleaned before preparing my GF sandwich which was great! Be aware only certain sandwiches can be GF.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was asked if I was a Celiac when I asked for gluten free and was told they could make my sandwich in foil and in a press so it would never touch the grill. Food was really delicious. The tomato soup was fabulous. The rest of my family ate the Thursday special and loved the flavors. It was worth the few minutes drive off Route 81 for some comfort food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They specifically asked if I was celiac and cleaned the grill for me. They served mine on Udis GF bread. The tomato soup is GF as well, very good, homemade and not at all like Campbell's. Please note that this is a food truck.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

asked if I was celiac or gluten intolerant and then cleaned the grill for me. Did not have a celiac reaction after eating here!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was pleasantly surprised that they had gluten free bread for sandwiches: my sandwich was great!
