Every April brings National Grilled Cheese Day, but we celebrate grilled cheese all year long in Athens, GA! We asked our @VisitAthensGA followers to tell us about their favorite grilled cheese sandwiches in Athens. Caution: side effects of consuming all of these delicious sandwiches include feelings of passion, desire, and pure ecstasy.

 

The Hermit Crab from Seabear

Inside Seabear

Independent Baking Company bread, sharp cheddar, tomato, and b&b pickles. Word on the street is, if you ask really nicely, Seabear will put a crab cake in the middle of the grilled cheese for you to make a secret menu item called the Hermit Crab.

French-Inspired Grilled Cheese from Big City Bread

Big City Bread

Gruyere and provolone cheese with tomato on sourdough bread. This sandwich is not complete without Big City Bread's classic Tomato Soup for dipping!

 

Classic Grilled Cheese from ADD Drug

ADD Drug

The soda fountain at ADD Drug is a great place for a quick bite and a few hours spent down memory lane. Plus, this classic grilled cheese is a steal, at only $1.50. 

Pulaski Heights BBQ: Grilled Pimento Cheese

Upstairs at Pulaski Heights BBQ

Sharp cheddar cheese, pimentos, Duke's mayo, ancho chile, and cayenne served on texas toast. While smoked meats are king at Pulaski Heights BBQ, this is a unique grilled cheese you won't want to miss. 

Fontina and Pancetta Grilled Cheese at the Royal Peasant

Royal Peasant

Cheddar or fontina with your choice to add pancetta. The Royal Peasant is a classic English-style pub that has a beer pairing for every plate. For this grilled cheese, go for a Belgian dark ale or an English Porter. 

Sriracha and Gouda Grilled Cheese at Catch-22

Catch-22

Sriracha cheddar bread, gouda, manchego, parmesan, and tomato soup on the side. Catch-22 adds a gastro-pub inspired touch to every dish, and this grilled cheese is no exception.
