Despite my reservations, the new Cheese n Stuff kept its original charm with an updated interior and renewed commitment to sandwich excellence! I ordered a tuna sandwich and a doughboy at the counter. My order probably took about 7 minutes to prepare which I spent perusing the restaurant merch stand. While the sandwiches aren't aesthetically beautiful, the flavor packs a punch! Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and I'm appreciative that the new ownership didn't deviate too far from what made the original so special. Will definitely be coming back!

Running errands on Friday in Phoenix and passed by Cheese and Stuff around noon. We have passed by…read morehere numerous times since living in Phoenix for over 30 years. Today, we decided to give this small, old sub shop a try. There is no real inside dining and prodimantly a grab and go stop. A decent line formed inside. We ordered the Manhattan special with double pastrami, slaw, thousand island dressing and Swiss cheese on a hoagie roll. The other sandwich was pastrami with Swiss cheese. The meats are Boar's Head and served cold. The sandwiches were ok, not overwhelming or huge flavor bombs. The prices are reasonable and obviously a long-time sandwich shop in midtown Phoenix must be doing something right. I don't feel the need to return and try them again. Cheese and Stuff is a staple for the neighborhood high schoolers. Give them a try and draw your own conclusion.

My best friend introduced me to Shea Cheese and I think I am now their biggest fan…read more I love cheese and supporting small businesses, so this was the perfect marriage. I have visited twice (so far!) and been thoroughly impressed. With my first visit, my bestie and I shared a two-person sized board with no meat, so maximum cheese. We were able to sample the cheeses before committing them to a spot on our board. The team at Shea Cheese paired our selections with other charcuterie items to make a perfect grazing board. We also spilt the turkey and brie sandwich. The sandwich was paired with the most delicious kettle chips as well. For my second visit, I went with the pizza grilled cheese (sans olives) and got a pimento cheese sandwich to go for my mother. We were both beyond pleased with our grub. Of note, right next door to Shea Cheese is Shea Lounge, which is a little bookstore and lounge to enjoy your cheesy items. I am beyond impressed by this spot and am already looking forward to my next visit.

I booked a bread + cheese pairing at Shea Cheese for my Mom & I after reading about their events…read moreonline (thanks Reddit). The event was a visit to Proof Bakery to see how the dough is *literally* made before heading back to Shea Cheese for the tasting. It was also BYOB. Overall, we had a great time. The space was cute and intimate, and the tasting was plentiful. They did open up the shop after the event too, so we were able to buy some deli meats and a bottle of natty wine. Their food menu looked soooo yummy, I look forward to coming back for lunch and for another event. Shea Cheese is a small business, owned by a couple who ensured that the experience was awesome. I definitely recommend stopping by and checking out their cookbook collection too. My only critique for the tasting was that they included a pimento cheese, which they make, that has mayo in it. I personally would've preferred they added one of their more unique options instead as neither my mom or I ate that part of the board (mostly due to the mayo).

We all got the lunch special which is a half sandwich with either salad or soup for $13.50. I got the blue cow grilled cheese and tomato soup. What a delicious sandwich! It had roast beef, a jam, pepper relish, havarti and blue cheese. It was really tasty and just the right amount of blue cheese to be tasty and not overwhelming. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal though I will say the person who got the brie, fig jam and prosciutto one was especially happy!

Stopped in today to order a charcuterie board for a wine tasting at my house in a couple of nights…read more I had heard about mingle and graze and sampled a number of their amazing cheeses when I was at wine tastings at Spin The Bottle right around the corner. This is a husband and wife team that manage and own both places. While standing at the counter, deciding what charcuterie board I was going to order I took a quick look at their menu and boy does it look good. Hummus boards, salads, and sandwiches. All freshly made in this little café, which is small but charming there is an outdoor patio with like four tables , but it's far too hot this summer to eat out there. For sure I'll be back in the fall out there with Luna enjoying this wonderful café. I was there with my daughter and what caught her eye was the muffaletta sandwich. A classic I couldn't get past the menu, grilled cheese sandwich, options, and asked the owner what was her favorite and recommendation. She immediately said the grilled cheese with birria and I think a Gouda cheese. We grabbed one of the booths and the sandwiches were out shortly. OMG, they both were unbelievable, but I had trouble keeping my daughter's hand off my plate. Honestly, this is one of the best grilled cheese I've ever had. And I consider myself a grilled cheese aficionado. Mingle & Graze is in a central downtown Chandler location, lots of parking out front. Love these little non-chain cafés with great homemade food that's different and original. I highly recommend you check out this place and when the weather is a bit nicer, order some food and sit out on the patio with a nice bottle of wine curated from Spin The Bottle. What a great spot

Janine the owner is so kind, informative and accommodating. This little place is the size of a duck, but it has the heart of a bison. I absolutely love all of the variety of meat they carry. From Poultry, bison, veal, pork, duck, chicken, fish, shrimp, salmon, lobster and fresh steaks. They also carry flavored salts, spices, and plenty of pick up items to choose from it has now become my newest and greatest little butcher. I honestly cannot wait to go back. I WOULD RECOMMEND

I highly recommend trying both, especially if you've never had a Chicago beef. The juicy beef paired with giardiniera is super savory. Damn! I'm craving it again. For lunch on our second visit, we ordered the Chief Beef special and a margherita pizza. This was, by far, the BEST margherita pizza ever! I think I've said that in another review... but for reals this time! The pizza was perfectly crispy on the bottom with just the right amount of basil to top off each bite. For dinner on our third visit, we ordered the clam linguine and an Italian beef sandwich. My husband says this clam linguine was better than the other versions he's eaten at Little Italy. The Italian sandwich was good, but not as savory as the Chicago beef. Can't wait to eat here, again, the next time we visit the Padres during spring training.

I decided to look online to see who could make a charcuterie board for me. And lucky for me XOXO Charcuterie came up in my search. I went to the website and saw the most adorable charcuterie boats...single portions!! OMG! That was perfect. People came in, grabbed a "boat", a drink and found a seat and settled down to listen to our speaker. But, back to the "boats". It was super easy to order them online. A quick text to check the date with Masha and after she gave me the go ahead, I just ordered them on her website. The best part? They delivered them at precisely the time she said they would! And, not only were they charming to look at, but they were delicious. Everyone loved them. They looked exactly like they looked on the website. I would highly recommend using XOXO CHARCUTERIE and I'm looking forward to contacting XOXO for our next event.

So instead of preparing this year's charcuterie board myself, I splurged and had XOXO create a masterpiece instead... and it was a hit! The ordering on the website was easy enough and after some texting back and forth, I had clear direction on the pick-up time too. It was ready upon arrival and it was beautiful and extremely tasty. The board and all of the ingredients were high quality. Our guests were pleased and so was I! I ate leftovers for days after the holiday too as there was plenty of meats, cheeses, honey, fresh fruit, dry fruit, nuts and more... The board was indeed a masterpiece and it came with great little serving utensils as well. I highly recommend XOXO and look forward to using them again in the future!

Pasta salad side was miserable with undercooked Ziti with no flavor. Cramped deli needs new layout too.
