If you are a fan of grilled cheese you have to try this place. The sandwiches are great along with the soup. Bought two meals and paid 14$ . More

As a fan of Man v. Food, I knew I needed to try this restaurant while in Cincinnati for a conference. The location was a nice walk from my hotel (downtown Hilton), and there was a bit of a line as it was lunchtime. I ordered the Charlie Brown, I think it was called. Since this restaurant is located in... More

There is a time and place in life for fancy dining. However, sometimes you just want a good grilled cheese sandwich. In those times, go to Tom & Chee. I had the BBQ Bacon Grilled Cheese and my wife had the Traditional sandwich. It was just perfectly done grilled cheese. The right bread (quality and consistency) with the right cheese... More

Tom + Chee would feel at home in any downtown or college town. It's extremely affordable ($3-5 for a very filling sandwich, a couple bucks for soup) and the menu - consisting entirely of varieties of grilled cheese and 4 kinds of tomato soup - requires several minutes to even take in. You really can't go wrong, of course. Just... More

I like to hit their stand at Fountain Square for lunch. Look over the menu and go for it: it's all good. They bake their own bread and their cheese is top quality. My most recent fave is their pizza grilled cheese. It works out SO well! Tomato soup is not a tomato cream soup, so don't go into this... More

My husband & I like to try the restaurants featured on "Man vs. Food" when we visit a new city, so tried Tom & Chee when we were visiting Cincinnati. I ordered the BLT & Chee (pretty self-explanatory) and my husband got the Armagoetta (goeta, cheery hot peppers, sweet hot mustard and pepper jack cheese on a slice of rye... More

You can not go to CIncy and not go to Tom+Chee! We went to the Newport Levee location and it did not disappoint! My hubby had a spicy ham and grilled cheese, I had the spicy beef, and we both split the grilled cheese donut with peanut butter marscapone and banana sandwich. We almost got back in the long line...

I was so excited at the concept of Tom & Chee (Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup). The food disappointed though. I got the Creamy Tomato Soup and it tastes off to me. There were also some things that kept congealing on the surface of the soup, so part of me thought it may have turned sour. It was hard to... More

My husband and I had lunch here after seeing a move on the Levee and really enjoyed this place for the most part. Both of our sandwiches (I had the Armagoetta) were pretty delicious. I love the concept of this place and the service was great, but there was one thing that put a damper on the entire meal: THE... More
