Cheese Louise

Cheese Louise serves up creative twists on the classic grilled cheese. Born from a New Hampshire food truck and now beloved in spots like Portsmouth, NH, North Conway, NH, and beyond.

Our Favorites

The Baconator

This is grilled cheese the way you’d build it in your dreams: crispy bacon, plenty of Cabot cheddar, and stretchy Muenster wedged between perfectly grilled sourdough.

Every bite is rich and punchy. The bacon’s saltiness cuts right through the creamy cheese, and the bread crisps up without getting greasy. It’s comfort food with attitude: deep, satisfying, and precisely what you want when you’re craving cheesy goodness with a meaty kick.

The Godmother

This one feels like the Caprese sibling of the grilled cheese family. Juicy sliced tomatoes, vibrant house-made pesto, fresh mozzarella, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze bring a bright, almost summery vibe to the counter.

The mozzarella melts just enough to deliver that gooey pull, while the balsamic glaze and pesto give sharp, herbal notes that keep every bite interesting. It’s lighter and more refreshing than some of the heavier options — but still totally satisfying. A standout for people who want their grilled cheese with a little oomph and freshness.

The Steak and Cheese Louise

This fan-chosen monthly special packs all the punch you hope for in a steakhouse-inspired grilled cheese. Shaved steak, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and gooey American cheese make this feel like a Philly cheesesteak that decided to merge with the best sandwich of all time.

The steak is tender and juicy, the caramelized onions bring sweet complexity, and the mushrooms add hefty umami. Wrapped in sourdough that can handle all that richness, this is hearty, utterly indulgent fare.

Final Thoughts

Cheese Louise takes something familiar and makes you care about it again. From the satisfying, bacon-forward bliss of The Baconator to the brightness of The Godmother and the hearty indulgence of The Steak and Cheese Louise, there’s really something for every grilled cheese craving. With a casual, welcoming vibe it’s a great stop for lunch, dinner, or anytime you need serious comfort between two slices of bread.
