Reviews for GCDC Grilled Cheese Bar in 1730 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, WA

I was craving a grilled cheese while on a trip to DC and when I did a quick Google search, this restaurant popped up first and I... am so glad it did! I turned a 40 minute estimated walk into a 30 minute one so I could get a "build your own" grilled cheesebefore they closed. As soon as I walked in this afternoon, I was greeted and given instructions on self-ordering either at thefront tablets or by scanning the QR on the tables. I used the QR to build my own (sourdough, cheddar, basil, chicken, andturkey) and got a cup of tomato soup to dip it in. I was so excited to be able to add additional protein to it; it was exactlywhat I was craving. They called out my name as soon as it was ready and it was steaming hot. They also serve alcohol; I don'tdrink but I thought that was an awesome business model. I wish I had a place like this up in Seattle! Highly recommend! Read more

Pretty good. Cool concept. Certainly have some interesting grilled cheeses. The buffalo chicken grilled cheese was great but the... Reuben was lacking. I do like that they serve beer and a limited selection of cocktails. However my biggest complaint wouldhave to be the single bathroom. Read more

This place was absolutely amazing! The outside eating was so cute! I was in DC for the day & I am so glad I found this place. I... can’t wait to come back and try more sandwiches! Also the pesto pasta was super delicious! Read more

This is not your average grilled cheese! After a full day of visiting memorials and museums, we decided to stop at GCDC for... dinner. Staff was friendly and helped us with the menu. She was quick and our order was ready in 10 minutes. This place didnot disappoint. Hands down the best grilled cheese I've ever had. All the elements on the grilled cheese were perfect. Thankyou GCDC staff for the the excellent experience and for ruining my views on other grilled cheese places ?????????? Read more

Delicious food! We enjoyed everything we ordered here from the California grill to the Parmesan chicken grill to the macaroni... and cheese. Yum! The place is really small so not much seating inside, but they do have outdoor seating if the weather is nice.Eat here if you have a chance! Read more

After visiting DC for the sites and everything and decided to visit GCDC for dinner. I must say, this place did not disappoint.... The young lady who was there came to our table as she noticed we were a little confused on a couple of things and she explainedthe ordering and assured us she could help us order. We placed our order and waited for less than 10 minutes our food arrived atour table. Yay! Extra gooey and delish. The tomato soup complimented our sandwiches very well. Thank the entire staff for apleasant eating experience and oh, make sure we can tip. We had cash and of course we show extra appreciation by tipping. Read more

Grilled cheeses are the easiest and cheapest food you can make at home. But I'm on vacation and needed a grilled cheese fix... before my withdrawals got out of hand. They have lots of signature sandwiches and if none of those catch your eye than you canbuild your own. Not in the mood for a grilled cheese? Can't relate, but you can get Mac n cheese, a quesadilla, or a burger.They also have tomato soup, which was mediocre in my opinion and the main contributor to not receiving five stars from me.Overall a solid grilled cheese and is very gluten free friendly. My girlfriend got gluten free bread, which I tasted and it wasfantastic. They claim to be able to make 90% of their menu gluten free. Good job GCDC! Read more

I ordered a custom sandwich to go online. It was ready two minutes early, and the very friendly staff came outside to bring it... to me since I was early but didn't want to pressure them. Great service, very tasty grilled cheese! I chose sourdough withcheddar and avocado. It was perfectly crispy and gooey, with avocado that was flavorful and ripe. To-go containers are sturdy(work well if you're eating outside somewhere) and recyclable/ reusable. I'm excited to be more adventurous with my order nexttime, but this first sandwich was a classic done perfectly. Read more
