Four years later, we love this place even more. This has become a weekend ritual for us. Food is always fresh and fantastic. Everything we have tried is delicious. Staff are awesome. The owner, Kelly, is so fantastic and always makes you feel like family. This is hands down the best grilled cheese you will find in a restaurant and you will be supporting a small but mighty local business. read more

Oh, that rim sauce! Pineapple and ham make everything amazing! This is my favorite sandwich!

This place is absolutely phenomenal! The people are friendly, the ambience is comfortable, and the food is delicious. Hands down the best grilled cheese I've ever had. read more

Wonderful selection of grilled cheese options. I stayed with the Traditional Grilled Cheese. This sandwich features ALOT of cheese between 2 very crispy white thick pieces of bread. Yummmo! You can create your own sandwich too. They offer salads, Mac and cheese, a few potatoe chip options, and a kids menu. The crew is very friendly and they make sure your order is correct and just how you like it. Give it a try. read more

10/10 service, 10/10 food. Would definitely recommend!!Grilled Cheese sandwiches are great!

We were sold the minute we read the menu. We took on the Sloppy Joan: a grilled cheese complete with sloppy joe and Mac and cheese. Yum. Everdine's uses Texas Toast to hold the sandwich together which is perfect for all the sloppy goodness of this sandwich. We did have to park a few blocks away and walk but it was worth it. If you're are in downtown Naperville and want something less "fancy" or not deep dish than the other offerings this is your spot. read more

Really yummy, so many different options to choose from. I love the Buffalo chicken grilled cheese!!!! Def for a cheat day, it's a heavy meal

In Illinois, some days are just miserable. It's gloomy and freezing with a wind chill piercing right through you. On those days that you are just angry and sad because it's the middle of winter, and you feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, let the nostalgic feel and taste of Everdine's grilled cheese sandwiches warm you up and brighten you day. Grilled cheese is one of the most nostalgic and comforting food there is for the typical American. What beats a buttery, melty, cheesy grilled sandwich? A buttery, melty, cheesy grilled sandwich from Everdine's is what. I know grilled cheese is really simple to make, but the variety and quality at Everdine's will show you that there is a lot more to grilled cheese than we actually know. I ordered the Mostly Maui Wowie. I disagreed with that name. In my opinion it should have been called, "The Marvelous Maui Wowie" or "The Magnificent Maui Wowie". It was not "mostly" anything, it was an all out flavor attack. This grilled cheese consisted of ham, havarti cheese, and grilled pineapple, and even had a side sauce that call rim sauce which was a citrus, chili, vinegar concoction. The sandwich was put together perfectly. The Texas toast was buttery, but not greasy. The cheese was melty and complemented the ham well. The grilled pineapple brought a sweetness that cut the richness of the grilled cheese, and the rim sauce gave another flavor of tart and spice. The flavor profile was dynamic and the execution of the grilled cheese was superb. My experience at Everdine's was outstanding, and I'm looking forward to trying the other grilled cheeses they have. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. This was an unexpected surprise! I was actually going to go somewhere else for a quick bite to eat-- but stumbled upon this little joint and had seen the good reviews so I decided to try it out. A tiny little place which as you can imagine was bursting at the seams with customers at noon on a Friday. But it was still kind of cozy as the kitchen is right there in the open making you feel like you're at home and mom's making you a grilled cheese. So many different options! I didn't have time to really give the menu the time it needed-- so I settled on the turkey melt which was the suggestion of the cashier and it sounded really good. WOW!!!! Punch in the face amazing!!!!! You gotta try the turkey melt!!! Off the charts wow!!!! They give you a pretty decent size sandwich for the price too!!! I will definitely Be back!! Oh and you can also get your sandwich and soup to go!!! Which is a nice option since it's so crowded!' read more

I'm a simple gal. The food is flavorful and well executed for "easy" food. The price is also extremely reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. Service was quick and accurate. Not a great sit-down environment but no need to complicate. Solid solid place read more

Walked into Everdine's on a Saturday afternoon with two tiny humans. They have SO MANY grilled cheese options, with the option of building your own. The line moved quickly, so we panic selected our sandwiches (and saw like three others that would've been in contention after the fact). On our way out, we noticed they had additional specials on a sign at the entrance, so make sure you check that out when you go. I got the Mostly Maui Wowie, and it was ridiculously good. It would've been great on its own, but the rim sauce they provided pushed it into amazeballs territory. I got to sample the Buffalo Chicken, which was also good. My kiddos split the Eddie Mack & Cheese -- they were silent while they destroyed it -- which is a testament to how excellent it was. The only reason this is a four and not a five star review is the seating situation. This restaurant has minimal seating and if you go during lunch rush, you will absolutely have to hover to get a spot to sit. We hovered for our table and had another family hovering to get ours. Plan accordingly! read more

Heard mixed reviews here but wanted to try anyway. Wife and I brought the kids in on Friday afternoon after playing at the park. Walking in place was clean and staff super friendly greeting you out loud when you walk in making you feel welcomed and appreciated. Ordered 2 regular kids grilled cheese for the kids and they loved them! Bread is thick, buttered, and toasted nice with lots of cheese. I had the Al Pa-cheeso and it was absolutely dynamite! The giardinara really added a pop and saltiness along with the capicola had a really nice heat not too spicy a great touch. My wife had Turkey Meltown which was loaded with meat and the chipotle mayo a nice spicy heat to finish off another home run. Price was what I expected but really you get what you pay for both with quality and quantity. Hope you guys stick around I really enjoy this place. Thank you for the great experience! read more

I spend a lot of time in downtown Naperville with my family and every time we pass by Everdine's it is packed! We finally decided to give it a try and it was well worth the short wait. The prices were a little steep for grilled cheese but the food was delicious! I ordered the half grilled cheese sandwich and a cup of soup. I got the '81 Caprice Classic (tomatoes, basil, arugula, balsamic glaze, mozzarella on wheat) and it was very good and a cup of tomato soup that was delicious! My husband got the Usual Suspect (crispy bacon, tomato, american, swiss, havarti on texas toast) and he liked his very much. My daughter didn't care much for the chicken ramen soup but I thought it was okay. There were so many unique choices for grilled cheese like one with mac and cheese on it, or one with ham and pineapple! It was difficult to choose just one but I will definitely be back to try out a few others. I have to add that the staff was so friendly! We sat at the bar right by the register and watching them put the sandwiches together and chatting with them was pretty cool! They work like a well oiled machine and even if it is packed you don't have to wait too long. read more

Um.....Yum! Tonight we had the NCHS Business class Grilled Cheese Challenge. And the NaperThrill (Texas toast with Mac & cheese and pulled pork) lived up to its name. Fresh ingredients, perfectly gooey and delicious! And I loved the vibe here. Friendly, great service, fun music and sweet owner. Last but not least, the homemade in small batches Tomato Soup was flavorful, thick, creamy and bursting with a great combo of spices! read more

This is a great addition to the Naperville food scene. I'll be back to check them out again and try something new. I had the tuna turner and it was so good. It's hefty tuna melt that rally satisfied everything about it was spot on. Generous servings of cheese, a great crispness to the bread. I washed that down with a bottle of pink lemonade. Which I shared with my son. He worked on a bowl of their chicken ramen. It was delicious. Slightly spicy but I'd describe more as "zesty" . read more

My staff at Centennial Beach decided that we were going to try everdines today. First time for all 7 of us. Not knowing what to expect, we all had an open mind about our lunch experience. First off, the wait staff was super helpful. None of our orders were wrong and they took the they took the time to make suggestions on what we should order. Our order was cooked to order and there were zero mistakes made. All 7 of us had too much fun reviewing each sandwich. It appeared that one was better than the other. Solid experience for all of us and 7 returning customers. Thanks for creating a simple concept with loads of flavors. read more

Put this place on your "must do" list. Had a great mac & cheese with sloppy joe grilled cheese. It was tremendous. Great food and well run top to bottom read more

A cute little shop that serves what are essentially "designer grilled cheese sandwiches". The cheeses are very high quality and the portion is relatively generous. Not so much recommended if all you want is a regular old grilled cheese but more so if you're adventurous and want to try a new twist to a classic sandwich. Their buffalo chicken grilled cheese is absolutely amazing and very filling. Just be warned that they don't really have much in the way of a soda fountain so your drink options are limited to non-refillable bottled drinks from a fridge. Recommend going in at least once just to try it out and support a friendly local business but it would be wiser to instead order to-go as the store itself gets quite crowded. read more

If you are looking for the PERFECT grilled cheese, Everdine's is the place for you. They use both butter & olive oil to achieve a perfect cheese sandwich which only gets better when they add bacon and mac & cheese inside. They offer a nice selection of sandwiches like a reuben or turkey which is great grilled but they excel with their grilled cheese. Staff is very friendly & helpful, especially the owner. "We are not worthy!!!" read more

I've been away in college for a long time, and there have been a lot of changes in Naperville Downtown since I've been away. Coming back to Naperville I heard good things about Everdine's and thus I decided to try it (despite being lactose intolerant). I ordered the Mack and Cheese grilled cheese and tomato soup with the half & half combo as well as a chocolate chunk cookie (very soft and chewy! Albeit a little too large, but that's a good thing right?). First off the greatest highlight of Everdine's besides just the food is the extremely nice lady that owns this store. I had asked her if this was a chain anywhere and complimented her decor and she stated that her daughter had drawn the decor in her store for her, and that the store in-fact was named after said daughter. So sweet! The food (like her) was also homey and warm as well. The mack and cheese grilled cheese definitely a comfort food and tomato soup and grilled cheese is a match made in heaven. My friend enjoyed (and I enjoyed tasting!) the chicken ramen soup as well, although it's not traditional and definitely what you're expecting when you drink it. But I loved the tomato soup because it wasn't goopy and sweet like some tomato soup is, but it was sour and really had the taste of tomatoes. The sour in my opinion is far better with the grilled cheese than just a sweeter, milder tomato soup. Definitely would stop by here again despite my lactose intolerance! read more

Tried the mac n cheese grilled cheese with a side of sloppy joe. It was delicious. I also tried their tomatoe soup that pairs up nicely with the sandwich. The workers were very friendly and helpful as well. Great food and great atmosphere. read more

Fantastic stop for a quick comforting bite when walking downtown Napervile. Every type of grilled cheese you can imagine from their specialties to make your own creations. Another up side is that they offer not one but two gluten free options (Sister was happy!). I liked the '81 Classic which is basically a Caprese between grilled wheat Texas toast. That fresh mozzarella is the best melted cheese ever- only recommendation is that they make the balsamic glaze a glaze. It needs to be reduced more to get that sweetness and syrup feel. Be ready to pay more for "a not your mamas version" of grilled cheese. The prices are a fair trade for the upgraded versions of the classic. read more

I have been there twice and loved it both times. I love the Sloppy Jane. I am not a huge manwich fan but this is nothing like the canned stuff. It was delicious. Today, I had the Sloppy Mac which is a sloppy joe/Mac & cheese grilled cheese. I don't know which I like more. read more

Great sandwiches and soup. Staff are attentive and pay attention to small details. Great downtown location.

Cheap, delicious, and the staff is so friendly. I've dined in and ordered carry out plenty of times and am never disappointed.

Looking at all of the amazing reviews here, I'm wondering if I just came on an off day. I was SUPER excited to try Everdine's, I love a good grilled cheese, am OBSESSED with the folks who run the Toasty Cheese truck, and generally enjoy anything cheese and soup related. I'd driven past Everdine's a zillion times and was beyond ready to get in there and get into a great grilled cheese. My husband and I arrived eager and READY. I ordered the Spicy Smokey Cheesy Bacon, hold the jalapenos because I'm a wuss. I also ordered a cup of the homemade tomato soup. Husband got The Usual Suspect, and we sat down to await pure delight. When the food came, I was a little taken aback by the small portion size. I'm usually not one to nickel-and-dime (I eat out waaaaayyy too much to do that) but the sandwich was quite small for over $8. The tomato soup was a decent size, blistering hot, and served with crackers. I had the soup first and it was... meh. Very acidic, almost V8-in-a-bowl sort of taste. I felt like I could have probably made it better myself. But that's not what I was there for... I was there for the cheese. And the cheese was... ordinary. Honestly, it wasn't bad, but it tasted as though I had made a bacon-and-cheese sandwich at home. The bacon was a little chewy and had no exceptionally "smokey" flavor, the cheese was good but not really a lot, and the whole sandwich was kinda dry and rubbery. I was bummed. Husband sort of picked apart his sandwich and ate bits and pieces, which wasn't a glowing review of that one, either. I am NOT one to give up on a cheese fest, so I may return to try one more time - the '81 Caprice Classic and the Turkey Meltdown look mighty promising. But for now, Everdine is just A-OK. read more

Good food as well as prices. If you go there during lunch be prepared to probably not find seat. It was very busy and the venue is small.

Service was great and the food was absolutely spot on for a grill cheese, I will highly recommend this place

this is a place in the middle of naperville downtown and I recommend trying it because it's yummy!! a grilled cheese lover's dream!

The concept of Everdine's Grilled Cheese Co is phenomenal. I love places that do one thing and do it well (aka innout). However, this was really not the case. We came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and we waited 20 minutes for our food. It's a half a grilled cheese and a cup of soup, it really shouldn't have taken that long. I liked how they were very generous with their cheese in the sandwich but their soup was very watery, acidic, and almost sour. My boyfriend said the soup tasted exactly like campbell's tomato soup. I expected it to have some body to it like actual pureed tomatoes like Panera's or homemade tomato soup. The sandwich itself was alright. I feel like I've made better grilled cheeses at home with kraft singles. I like their drinks from Joe's. There is a great variety, I like how it's in a glass bottle so you can take it with you, and they just taste delicious. I haven't tried the chips yet but I imagine them to be pretty good too. Seating is limited (so don't be afraid to ask your neighbor to sit with them!) and although it's self-service, sometimes employees will walk around and clear your plates for you, which is nice. Overall, I came in here with pretty high expectations and I was pretty disappointed with how unimpressed I was. read more

You'd be doing yourself a disservice by not stopping in this small cozy sandwich shop. Great sandwiches and great service!

I tried Everdine's for the first time and liked it a lot. The menu has a variety of selections both classic and adventurous. Very well done, our sandwiches were prepared by Justin. The only issue is the place is rather small and it can go from near empty to standby room only in a matter of a wave of people and a few minutes. We would go again ! read more

i would give you 5 stars if you had more seating! this place is too popular for its own good i took my grandma there and she almost wanted to leave because there was no place for her to sit luckily a couple was willing to give up their table to sit on the bar area but they need more seating should think about expanding or moving to a larger location but this won't stop me from coming back because the food and service workers are so fantastic you don't even mind the price! try the chicken ramen it's fantastic! read more
