888 Cheese & Co. makes grilled cheese a sit-down affair

The public picture

888 Cheese & Co. takes a cheese-centered idea and presents it as a sit-down restaurant rather than a fast-food stop. That distinction surprises at least some first-time diners, but the broader public response is strong: its Google listing carries a 4.7 rating from 335 reviews.

The available review sample repeatedly praises the service. Diners describe staff as friendly and attentive, while small dining-room touches such as cloth napkins and a bottle of water on the table help the restaurant feel more polished than its sandwich-heavy menu might suggest. One Tuesday-night visitor found the room quiet, which could suit anyone looking for an easygoing dinner away from a busier part of Suamico. Plenty of parking was another practical positive.

What to order

Grilled cheese is the central draw, and the brisket grilled cheese earns one of the clearest endorsements in the sample. It is a sensible first order for diners who want the restaurant’s cheese focus paired with a richer, savory filling. The pesto sandwich also received a favorable comparison from a guest who was less impressed by the macaroni and cheese.

The sandwich sampler with tomato bisque offers a broader introduction. The bisque drew especially enthusiastic feedback, making it one of the safest recommendations among the dishes specifically mentioned. The sampler also makes sense for someone who would rather try more than one sandwich style without committing to a single full option.

Sangria appears more than once in positive comments. Both peach and cherry versions were enjoyed, suggesting that the rotating or flavored sangria choices can be a worthwhile addition for adult diners.

Where opinions split

Not every cheese-forward combination works for every palate. One diner found the macaroni and cheese too sweet, with the sweet-and-salty balance overshadowing the dish. Bread also drew a mild complaint: the toasted, buttered Italian-style loaf was good but less distinctive than expected. Anyone imagining an extensive range of unusual breads may want to temper that expectation.

Value is another point of disagreement. Some reviewers call the prices reasonable, while another considered the restaurant overpriced and mediocre. That dissatisfied diner also felt the PB Juan was short on cream cheese. Taken together, the feedback places 888 Cheese & Co. in the mid-range category, with perceived value likely depending on portion expectations and sandwich choice.

Editor’s take

Based on the supplied public ratings and reviews, 888 Cheese & Co. is best approached as a casual sit-down destination for upgraded grilled cheese, soup and sangria. Friendly service is the most consistent strength, and the tomato bisque looks like the menu item with the broadest appeal in this sample.

The brisket grilled cheese and sandwich sampler provide strong starting points. More unconventional sweet-and-savory items may be less dependable for diners who prefer strictly savory comfort food. Overall, the high Google rating supports giving it a try, while the mixed comments on sweetness, bread selection and price suggest choosing the first order carefully.
