It’s so secret, grilled cheese is a classic American staple. Cheap or expensive, it’s all about the cheesy goodness of what goes between those two slices of crispy, buttery bread. Whether you prefer the one your mother made when you were a child, the one at 2AM after a few rounds of drinks, or the one you order off a kid’s menu (no judgment), this simple sandwich just hits the spot. There are plenty of spots around Hoboken that offer this delicacy, but in a high-volume, cheesy market, it’s seemingly impossible to know which one to choose. The Hoboken Girl took one for the team and rounded up a few options — from the simpler choices to the more creative ones. Keep reading to discover just some of the must-try grilled cheese sandwiches in Hoboken.

The Madison Bar and Grill | 1316 Washington Street

The Madison Bar and Grill is known as one of the best spots to grab a drink uptown. The atmosphere and quality crowd are usually what draw customers in but the food menu may be the real treat. Enter the thick-cut bacon grilled cheese. Now, usually, a remake of a classic is not always the best – movies, songs, TV show reboots are often hit or miss. But, the thick-cut bacon, an heirloom tomato, and cheddar on Texas toast (with a side of fries and a bowl of tomato bisque) is one remake of an old classic you don’t want to miss. The sandwich itself could stand alone as a great meal but the side of tomato bisque is the key. The grilled cheese/tomato soup combo is a common one but the bisque served with the sandwich is delightful. Be sure to get a dip in for every bite.

One of Hoboken’s best brunch spots has its own twist on the classic sandwich. Diners will bite into toasted sourdough, minced leeks, and onions to compliment the aged cheddar. This sandwich is like biting into the sandwich version of a delicious bowl of French onion soup.

Bareburger | 515 Washington Street

Bareburger may be more suitable for a parent looking to grab their child a quick meal, but don’t overlook the tasty grilled cheese option at this local eatery. For the kid’s meal option with a relaxed ambiance, the “Polar Cubby Meal” includes melted cheese on eight-grain toast, a drink, and a side. A grab-and-go meal for a great price. 

Mr. Wraps | 741 Grand Street

Mr. Wraps is a classic sub sandwich shop that is tucked away on the corner of 8th and Garden. Be sure to check out the vast menu of sandwiches and, of course, wraps. The slogan is “gourmet on the run” and with the rest of the menu comparable to the savory + extra cheesy grilled cheese, you will be back. HG pro tip: they also offer gluten-free wraps.

Black Rail Coffee | 800 Jackson Street

This Light Rail spot has all kinds of fantastic sandwiches, and the grilled cheese is no exception. Find it on the kid’s menu but don’t be fooled: the sandwich is made with a fresh brioche bun and for a real throwback, diners can add on Goldfish crackers and a drink for an additional $1.75. Yes, please… or should we say — yes, cheese.
