happy grilled cheese

one of jacksonville favorite food trucks recently opened a brick and mortar store downtown and ahappyplace it is.happygrilled cheese is a welcome addition to the same ol same ol big box food shops. the moment i walked in my mood was lifted, with the thought of creamy warm goodness to come. every item on the menu is fresh daily, you can find everything from your standard fare, to the extraordinarily unique on the menu at thehappygrilled cheese. a specials board adorns the wall for those looking for something out of the ordinary.  service is brisk, making it the perfect spot for office workers or those with time constraints to order be served and take it to go or eat in.

disappointed. i had the steak melt and my kids had thehappyand thehappywith bacon. the steak on mine was over cooked and reminded me of steakums. i was expecting possibly juicier roast beef and i could hardly taste the jalapenos or grilled onions. it was also very salty. my kids sandwiches were pretty average. nothing that i couldn't have made at home for half the price. also, the fries were not crispy and they were salty. maybe it was just an off day for them. i will try one more time the next time they are in my area.

thehappygrilled cheese food truck opened in jax in march of 2013. since then it appears the city and social media has rapidly fallen in love with their cheesy goodness.  after our trip to enjoy their cheesy goodness i can say we have too. they offer anything from a basic grilled cheese called ahappymelt to grilled cheeses with mac n cheese, apples, bacon, and even bbq chips inside the grilled cheese. they set up all over town. they even offer a french toast melt with cream cheese and fresh berries squeezed between two slices of french toast. you can find their daily location on their facebook or twitter pages which we have listed in this article. they also are frequently present at food truck rallies all over the city. thehappygrilled cheesehappymelt facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/pages/the-happy-grilled-cheese/284780458300232 twitter: https://twitter.com/happygrilledchs

definitelyhappygrilled cheeses. i have been stalking this truck for months now & i finally got to check it out today. all i can say is it was worth the wait. the mac & cheese melt was phenomenal. the other people in my group all raved about what they had as well (the mac daddy, the caprese, & the uncle vinny's). i will definitely be back when they are in the area.

ok but not great. i had to try thehappygrilled cheese because of the long lines and obvious popularity. i tried "king of the mac" which another reviewer mentioned was ok but not great and i agree, it is missing something like more flavor. for the obvious heart attack waiting to happen (3 cheeses, mac n cheese, pulled pork, and fried onions on grilled texas toast) it should at least taste like it is worth it.

we ate at thehappygrilled cheese food truck recently to check out their menu and see if they could actually improve on our favorite comfort food. the menu was full of grilled cheese variations, available on white bread, texas toast, and pita. the cheese varied as well, ranging from american, mozzarella, swiss, cheddar, and pimento. we ordered the caprese melt, which had pesto, tomatoes, red onion, and mozzarella. and we just couldn't pass up the crunch melt, which had homemade mac and cheese, homemade chips, american cheese

makes me happy. my co-worker/friend wanted to visit the thehappygrilled cheese food truck for lunch when they were in our work vicinity back in early june, and i decided to venture along.

i ordered the caprese grilled cheese sandwich (about $6) along with a dipper-size cup of soup (about 4 oz in a short styrofoam cup, perfect for dipping your sandwich) for $1. it was delicious! a simple sandwich made on two slices of white sandwich-size bread, mozzarella cheese, slice of tomato, and a good spread of pesto. it wasn't greasy or as buttery as a traditional grilled cheese--personally, i like a little more butter on mine. my friend ordered their homemade chips with his sandwich. i sampled one; it was super thin, crispy, and well-seasoned.

happyhappyhappy. i just returned from thehappygrilled cheese truck and i am reallyhappyhappy happy. i had the crunchy grilled cheese and it was delish. a boat load of cheese, bacon and onions with some cheese puffs thrown in. then i remembered that their fryer was down. oh well it was really good anyway. then i get a text from the wife and she sees that i'm at thehappygrilled cheese truck and she nothappyhappy happy. so being the good husband i shoot a pic of the menu and say what do you want? now the grilled cheese truck ishappyhappy happy. so she wanted the daddy of the mac and you will have to wait for the review on that but i can probably think that she will love it too.

yum yum yum!. hadhappygrilled cheese for the first time last night at one spark. everything was buttery, cheesy, and delicious. mac and cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich is a wonderful thing. will be on the lookout for this truck around town! definitely a must try.

i have always been fascinated with food trucks and when i drove by thehappygrilled cheese i had to stop and try it. one word describes the two meals i had amazing! i recommend everyone tries this food truck!

i have been eagerly anticipating the rollout of thehappygrilled cheese truck since seeing whispers about it and a menu leak on twitter. not just regular grilled cheese sandwiches (delicious on their own merit) but a creative variety of them?? i was so there. and so i was, on opening day: thehappygrilled cheese truck the truck features a rotating variety of it’s grilled cheeses, and on this day the offerings ranged from plain to with bacon to with lots of bacon. i chose the latter, obviously, porky the melt (american cheese, cheddar, bacon, ham, pulled pork, caramelized onion, and tomato): porky the melt with all this meat, porky the melt was really more of a grilled sandwich than a grilled cheese. it was a good sandwich, just not what i was looking for from a grilled cheese vendor. my second visit yielded a brisket and blue melt (mozzarella, blue cheese crumbles, smoked brisket, arugula and red onion), along with some chips and beer cheese soup/dip: brisket & blue melt this sandwic
