Missouri’s Best Grilled Cheese Has an Unexpected Twist

Grilled cheese sandwiches are one of the most popular sandwiches in America. It seems like just about every kid, and plenty of adults, could live off this meal (except for this chick, because cheese…gross). And apparently, there’s only one place you need to go if you’re looking for the best grilled cheese sandwich in the entire country.

Why Grilled Cheese Remains a Comfort Food Favorite

At least once a week, I make grilled cheese sandwiches for my girls. Ramen, nuggets, and grilled cheese are absolute must-haves in my household, and they’re easy to make. Some people go heavy with layers of cheese and butter, while others use mayo on the outside to get that extra-crispy finish. But there’s one restaurant that reigns supreme when it comes to serving up one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches in Missouri.

LoveFood recently listed the best grilled cheese sandwich in every state, and for Missouri, their pick was the Royal Grille served at The Fountain on Locust in St. Louis.

What Makes the Royal Grille Stand Out

This sandwich is made with a secret blend of cheeses and sliced apples, which is interesting. It pairs perfectly with the restaurant’s homemade tomato soup, and locals rave about just how good this grilled cheese really is. I never would’ve thought sliced apples and grilled cheese would go together, but so many people say this is the sandwich to order at The Fountain.

So even though grilled cheese might not be my go-to sandwich for a quick meal, the next time you’re in St. Louis, you might want to check out the Royal Grille at The Fountain. Sounds like once you try it, no other grilled cheese sandwich will ever compare.
