    Bacon hot honey grilled cheese and truffle tots.
    Sam W.

    I have been going to roxys since they had a single food truck parking around Boston. I have NEVER been disappointed and every grilled cheese, lemonade, tots, and poutine have been phenomenal. I make sure to find time to stop here every time I'm in Boston. Must go!

    Double fried chicken sandwich with hot honey
    Abhiram A.

    I've been going to this place more regularly. This is not a sit-down type of place, you stand in a line, order and get your order when your name is called. They have a decent grilled cheese and sandwich menu, and also have some shakes. I've had the three-cheese grilled cheese sandwich (classic three cheese), the grilled cheese sandwich with tomato (rookie melt), and the broccoli and cheddar melt. The broccoli and cheddar sandwich is my favorite grilled cheese entree here. It has a little bit of red pepper in it, and it definitely adds a different dimension You can never go wrong with it, and it always make me feel happy after I get a nice carb dump here. I recently tried the double fried chicken sandwich with hot honey, and I really regret not trying this sooner. It was crispy, meaty, and the hot honey flavor added some sweetness to the texture that I liked very much. Totally recommend this place if you are craving grilled cheese or even a burger.

    I usually see a couple of people lined up to get grilled cheese from this food truck so I wanted to give it a try. I ordered the original 3 cheese. The sandwich was grilled nicely but it was also doused with butter. the cheese was good but as it started to cool, it became like a solid brick. So I guess once you get your sandwich eat it as quickly as possible. And honestly, if you want to eat a ton of butter and cheese then this is for you. I was dissatisfied with my sandwich and my stomach started to hurt from all the grease. I probably won't be returning to Roxy's again.

    I have a confession to make that hopefully will not void my Boston foodie license: This is actually my first trip to Roxys since I moved here 2.5 years ago. The nationally acclaimed grilled cheese food truck did not disappoint. This is how you take a childhood favorite and elevate it next level. A simplistic menu, but one not lacking in creativity. Exhibit A: my choice, the Muenster, which included bacon and guacamole. Great sandwich, period. The truffle fries were also well done and the portion size could without doubt feed 2-3 people. Not sure what took me so long, but its easy to see why Roxys is the gold standard of the food truck scene.

    The Rookie
    Samantha G.

    The greatest thing about my weekend was Roxy's being in Vegas and my discovery of their grilled cheese awesomeness. However, every other grilled cheese I will eat is now destined to pale in comparison. For my first stop at Roxy's, I went with the Rookie. A nice, basic grilled cheese sandwich - cheddar, tomato, spicy brown mustard, and optional bacon (which in my mind is never optional). Prior to this, I'd actually never had a grilled cheese with mustard. Oh my, the spicy brown mustard added such a great flavor kick. And all of the ingredients were just the right amount. And the cheese was perfectly ooey gooey. For my second stop (the first sandwich was so good I couldn't resist coming back again), I went with the French Connection - brie, caramelized apples, and bacon. I've had similar grilled cheese sandwiches before, but this one was a standout. The brie was actually perfectly ooey gooey and the apples being caramelized added a great depth of interesting flavor. On my second trip, I also went for the Rosemary Gorgonzola Fries. The fries were excellent - well-seasoned and almost perfectly done. Could've used a bit more gorgonzola, but a great flavor combo. And the best part (besides the crew being handsome and friendly with sexy Beantown accents) was that they nailed it as street food. The sandwiches were perfectly packaged in a sleeve of wax paper. This minimized the hand greasiness and made it simple to eat and walk around. As someone who is typically a knife and fork girl, this meant a lot to me. If I lived in Boston, I would absolutely be here regularly.

    Finally had the chance to try Roxy's during a Harvard event. They pulled up the food truck and were serving two types of grilled cheeses: three cheese and the "green Muenster" with bacon, avocado, and Muenster cheese. I tried the green Muenster, which was delicious. The generous portion of cheese was warm and melted, and the saltiness from the bacon gave a crunch and savoriness to every bite. Since this event had complimentary food, I can't comment as to the value of the grilled cheese since the price wasn't listed, but it was an excellent sandwich. I also tried their truffle fries which had strong truffle flavor. Their fries are very thin which means they become extra crispy in the fryer, and overall taste delicious.

    Grilled cheese sandwiches bring back memories of childhood comfort food. This food truck hangs out on the Harvard U campus and the staff are nice folks. It doesn't take too long for the oozy goodness to get ready. I stuck with the standard 3 cheeses. Sheer joy as I've not had a grilled cheese in a long time. Even the crusts are crispy and I don't usually like the crusts. Hubby had the honey bacon. I don't care for sweet meats on my sandwiches but this also tasted good that I finished his last piece of crust. I would certainly be interested in trying one of the other grilled cheese options and fries. But not so good for the cholesterol.

    There are currently 4 business profiles for Roxy's, but since it is afterall a food truck, I wonder just how many vehicles there actually are. Anyhow, I stopped by SoWa on Sunday and ended up adding myself to the line to Roxy's, which was the last of a long line of food truck options. First thing's first, line up to order. It is cash only, and it is old school write things down manner of order taking (not the ipads and ipods of Clover Food Lab). That line took a bit, but even longer (22 minutes for me) was the wait for the fresh made sandwiches and fries. For that you just stand en mass and strain your ears to hear your name to signal that your order is ready. They really need some kind of speaker system! . Mighty Rib $7 Fontina (that's a cheese), braised short ribs, bbq, caramelized onion . Duck Confit $11 French Brie, duck confit, cranberry orange compote . Hand cut Truffle Fries $4 . Pineapple Lemonade $3 . Bottled water $2 One whole sandwich (well, 2 halves) and a shared order of the fries totally filled me up. In fact, I may have over-ate a tad. The protein in both sandwiches were finely shredded, tender, and a satisfactory portion. But I didn't notice the caramelized onion in the first, but especially enjoyed the sweet touch of the cranberries in the second. The short rib was juicy and dribbled this juice as I ate, so don't say you haven't been warned! The fries were crisp but way too salty. They were thicker cut than those of Clover. The pineapple lemonade was not a sweet drink, and wasn't really to my taste. Note: Cash Only *** 5/2012 *** Looks like Yelp finally decided to consolidate all the business profiles for Roxy's. The Green Muenster was crisp and chock full of crisp bacon bits - a bit overkill for me, but most likely great and quite welcome to the heavy duty bacon lovers. There was no need for ketchup for the truffle-y french fries. *** 8/2012 *** If you got to have their truffle fries, go early - this was the 2nd late lunch that resulted in no fries. Rookie Melt - VT Cheddar, Tomato $5 C.L.T.B. - Provolone, Confit Chicken, Arugula, Bacon, Tomato, House-Made Ranch $7 The confit chicken seemed to be masquerading a little too successfully as tuna, which made the Rookie the winner of the meal. Each, however, was grilled to a nice brown color and all gooeyness within.

    Green muenster and fries. Drool...

    My first experience here was on my birthday last year, and oh my what a good birthday it was! My bf and I initially decided to go to a restaurant in Cambridge. We took a stroll along Comm Ave to work up and appetite, when we came across Roxy's. It wasn't open yet, but when we inquired, found out that it would open in another 10 minutes, so we decided to wait. Oh man!! We got the Green Muenster and split it. Can you say "heaven in your mouth"? The avocado and bacon were a fantastically delicious compliment to the cheese, and my goodness they don't skimp on the cheese! Just half a sandwich each and we were full! After this, I followed them on twitter to make sure I could taste their mighty goodness once again.

    a close up of a basket of fries

    So let me start off with saying their burgers were good. I chose this place based off the reviews and the main reason was for their truffle fries. I was very enthusiastic and super eager to have some good truffle fries. Unfortunately they are understaffed, they had one person who was working which he had to take customers orders and cook the food. The truffle fries were terrible, couldn't taste the truffle, my son refused to even eat his. They were overcooked and super disappointing. Would not come back.

    Green Muenster Grilled Cheese with Onion Rings - gooey goodness.
    Tom G.

    This 4-star review includes potential to do better going forward. We tried the Mac and Cheese with chorizo and the Green Muenster and a side of onion rings. The Mac and Cheese was good in concept, a bit lacking in execution. I found the pasta in the bread to be a bit heavy, the cheese was lost a bit in the chorizo flavor, and there were no onions to be found in the sandwich anywhere. Really, the cheese should always be the star in a grilled cheese, right? The Green Muenster was better: the guacamole was solid and fresh, the muenster was melted nicely, and the bacon was crisp. The peppery-ness of the guac played nicely with the slightly sweet maple bacon. The only downside was that the bread was a bit overdone and tough in spots. I'd come back for this. The onion rings were a mess. My girlfriend commented, and rightfully so, that the deep fryer must have been too cool as the rings weren't crispy but the onions were absolutely mushy inside; no flavor to the rings either. A lot of it went right to the trash. The soups that came with the sandwiches were quite nice. Basil and tomato that would rival most bistro soups served in a "shooter" cup. A great accompaniment to the mac n cheese but not so much to the guac/muenster. Multiple soup offerings would be fantastic. Some suggestions: 1) The prices are fairly high. $7 for a grilled cheese and a tiny cup of soup is going to turn a lot of people off. If you can work it out to bring this down to $5.50 you'll see more turnover and sustained college business, I think. Having a lunch special or late night special (sandwich, soup, and drink) for $7-7.50 would make more financial sense to most buyers. 2) You need to be prepared for people to do take away business. Plastic/paper bags, napkins, lids for the soups, etc. 3) A more efficient line-cooking method. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes for a sandwich to be out of the window. 3-4 minutes would be efficient, based on other successful trucks I've visited in other cities. Low melting point cheeses, prepped bins for each sandwich, etc. 4) Having the ability to order a large soup would be useful as it was quite nice and could be a high margin sales source for you. 5) Don't push anything out of the window that you aren't satisfied with. The missing onions on the Mac and Cheese and the mushy onion rings should never have made it to us. Quality control is super important to repeat business; varying quality is one of the major reasons restaurants go out of business. 6) Continue to interact and take comments from customers seriously, be it in person or through Twitter/Facebook. You have a quality concept and fill a need in the area. Gourmet food at a reasonable price in an area filled with college foodies bereft of quality food options. I recommend other Yelpers give these guys a shot.

    My life changed drastically three months ago, when I switched jobs from an office in Newton to an office in the heart of the Financial District. I went from one lunch option to dozens; it's a lot for a person fond of eating to take in. The first two weeks I went mad with power and launched a food truck rampage, sampling everything in Dewey Square multiple times. After the dust settled, I calmed down but remained vigilant, adding every possible food truck to my Twitter feed until one day Roxys said they'd be down the street from me. I jubilantly made the trip over and ordered a Mighty Rib. It was heaven. Next I ordered The Boomer (their newest addition -- jack, mushrooms, garlic spinach, basil aioli). Also delightful. Their lemonades of the day have often made mine, so basically, I'm a smitten kitten. If you ever want to join me and Nicole V for a Melted Monday lunch outing, hollaaaaa.

    Give me a second... ::stuffs face:: I just had a moment with a grilled cheese sandwich. But wait a min.. not just any grilled cheese sandwich. Roxy's Grilled Cheese Sandwich. As soon as I read their FB post that they were going to be around the corner from my job - Hemenway & Forsyth. I got there as quick I could. I saw the line and I was horrified, it was pretty long but I didn't let that stop me from joining in. The line went by fairly quickly. As I waited with the hubby we were trying to decided what to get. This was a very tough decision for me.. The hubby knew exactly which one he wanted. He ordered the Rib Melt $7- short rib, fontina cheese, caramelized onions and Truffle fries $4. I had the Rookie $5 - Cheddar & Tomato and the strawberry lemonade to wash it down. When I saw my hubby's Rib Melt.. I was pissed!! I wanted it! I took a bite of his and it was so delicious. The short rib was tender and the onions were cooked perfectly. His was perfect. Not to say mine wasn't good.. which it was. But, it wasn't as exciting as his. Mine definitely lived up to it's name "the Rookie". The fries were crunchy and the lemonade quenched my thirst by not being too sweet. I can't wait to go back and try something else. (yes, I have a crush on Marc Melanson) ::sigh:: He took my order :)

My first introduction…read moreended up being at a corporate event in Boston's Seaport district, where lunch arrived courtesy of one of the city's best-known sandwich shops. The catering was impressive. Before anyone even took a bite. Every half sandwich was individually wrapped and clearly labeled, with salads and sides neatly organized, making it easy for a large group to grab lunch without the usual catering chaos. The choices were wide and varied. We took our lunches upstairs to a rooftop seating area overlooking the Seaport, which made for a pretty great setting on a beautiful afternoon. I chose the Gobbler, and it lived up to the hype I've since read in other reviews. At first glance it sounds like a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, but it's much more than that. The turkey was fresh and flavorful, and it was complemented by stuffing, cranberry sauce, spinach, pepper jack cheese, and just enough chipotle mayo to add an unexpected kick, without overwhelming everything else. It's one of those combinations that sounds busy on paper but comes together remarkably well. I spoke with several others over lunch, and they were equally impressed with their choices. That's always a good sign when you're feeding a crowd. It's one thing to make a great sandwich to order; it's another to deliver dozens of them catered while maintaining that level of quality. Since this was catered, I can't really comment on the restaurant itself. The service on the catering side, however, was evident in how thoughtfully everything was prepared and packaged, and the rooftop setting where we enjoyed lunch certainly didn't hurt. Needless to say, this won't be my last Sam LaGrassa's sandwich. I fully intend to visit the restaurant one of these days, and in the meantime I'll spend some time trying to recreate that Gobbler at home (maybe with sliced roasted chicken, but also with turkey when I have it). It was that good.

My partner and I had intended to order another sandwich, an eggplant offering, but they were out of eggplant and said there would be more available in 3 hours. We decided to split the "Table". Thank goodness because 1/2 was more than filling. When we arrived there was a line of at least 20 people ahead of us waiting to order. The line moved fairly swiftly as we waited approximately 10 minutes to order. At ordering we were told our order would be ready in 45 minutes. Upon checkout, when the card machine was turned toward us, we opted not to apply a tip, as there was nowhere to sit to enjoy our sandwich and noone to serve us. Reviewing the receipt we saw that we were automatically charged for a 20% tip of $5.20 on the $26 sandwich and further more, the receipt had recommended %'s for an additional tip. The sandwich was ready in the stated 45 minutes. It was very good, but would have been memorable and brag-worthy if we had a table to sit at as we waited and then enjoyed our meal. As it was we ate, sitting on a granite bench adjacent to the Paul Revere on horseback statue surrounded by Boston's finest pigeons. We were unaccustomed to tipping for no service without being notified ahead of cashing out. While we generally tip 20% or better for service, when no service or seating is offered, being charged 20% without notification is offensive and we won't be back.

We almost felt that we were inconveniencing the workers and the wait time is absurd for in person orders. But I have to give credit when it's due, this was by far one of my favorite sandwiches although they are pricey, you can easily feed a party of four with a nice bag of chips on the side. We were blessed with being able to try the table sandwich. The focaccia was fresh along with the mozzarella and arugula. Since we made an online order which quoted us 45 minutes, our sandwich was ready in 20 so unfortunately, the chicken cutlet was not as fresh as we would've liked. Sidenote, the first day we attempted to order in person they quoted us an hour, so we decided to place an order of the following day. Highly recommend placing the order and staying local to be safe. Despite all the sandwiches, well worth the weight, just don't have high expectations for service We love the ambience of a little Italian market, and it was very well kept

I've eaten here before (it's a small area, but does have a lot of seating) but normally I get it as take out. The cafe itself is super casual, it's the perfect place to pop into during lunch or after a walk. My food is always ready on time which is nice, and when I've eaten there I'm usually able to find a seat. The spinach tortellini with the pesto cream sauce is my absolute favorite- it's a HUGE portion and so delicious. It usually lasts me at least 2 meals. The bread they include is also great! I like to dip it in the sauce. The past time I got Dino's I accidentally ordered spinach ravioli instead of tortellini...that was my bad. HOWEVER I think I might have found my new favorite? The raviolis are huge and so fat. I'm talking like 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch thick. There is so much stuffing and the spinach ricotta mix tastes so fresh and delicious...it's a must try. I've also gotten the eggplant parm before, and the fettuccini Alfredo. Both were also delicious. I've never had any of the sandwiches, but if they are anything like their pastas then I'm sure they are great! The bang for your buck here is also great which is nice. Highly recommend! Dinos is awesome! And the staff is very kind too (Note that the pic is taken from a train, I like to treat myself to Dino's before catching the Amtrak)

We were hot, starving and tired. My littlest loved his meatball pasta. He looked so delighted when it was set in front of him. He devoured it with the same zeal. It was the best of the pastas we tried. His Italian ancestors would have been proud.

    My husband and I had some time to kill before an appt at Tufts. We were heading somewhere else for…read morea sandwich when we walked by this spot. The smell of bacon was too good to keep moving past it and we decided to head inside. Best happy accident!! Any place that has staff wearing shirts that say "Stoked for yolks" and has an array of pig decor- jackpot! The small menu was deliciously stacked with breakfast and lunch options; the griddle was sizzling, there's a drink fridge, and a spot to stand and consume. My husband got a turkey and I did a ruby melt; SO GOOD! I perused the menu, and the breakfast options all looked incredible! If you find yourself on this end of Tremont and you smell amazing bacon, follow your nose to Mike and Patty's - you will not be disappointed! Also, staff was super friendly! This place is a total package!

There's a small park with shaded benches about 2 blocks away (Elliot Norton Park) which is a great place to sit down and devour the food. I ordered the Mission Breakfast Burrito and it was delicious. As of August 2026, the website lists the burrito as $14, but the price on the in-person menu was $16. I would give the burrito 4 out of 5 stars because of the way it was wrapped - about a third of the burrito was just egg and cheese and the toppings (avocado, red onion, hash browns, salsa verde, crema) were crammed on the other side of the burrito. If there was a way for the burrito to be wrapped so all the ingredients were more evenly distributed - this would easily be a 5/5 breakfast burrito. One random detail that stuck out to me was that their drinks in their refrigerator were very cold - no lukewarm sodas here! I would come back here to try their signature "Fancy" sandwich. Overall, this is a very solid breakfast spot in Boston!
