A grilled cheese is one of the most classic of classic sandwiches. You can make it easily at home with normal bread and cheese and some tomato soup on the side, or you can spruce it up a bit with mixtures of cheeses, fancier bread, and even other toppings. Regardless what you do with it, a grilled cheese is a grilled cheese – and everyone loves it.
Grilled cheese sandwiches at restaurants are usually relegated to the kids menu, which is surely a tragedy. There is timeless love and potential in this kind of sandwich and it deserves to be used! Luckily, North Dakota has restaurants that know how to perfect comfort food and this particular one has done that and more with their amazing grilled cheese.
The restaurant is located in downtown Fargo and has become well-loved by locals and visitors alike.

It’s called Pounds, and it is arguably one of the best and most fun restaurants in North Dakota.
Moe P/Yelp Pounds only opened a couple of years ago in a neat, old building on 1st Avenue in the very heart of downtown Fargo. They have tons of fun quirky things to experience while you’re dining, including chalkboard walls just about everywhere that anyone can draw on.
The grilled cheese in question is their Garden Grilled Cheese, an absolutely delectable sandwich.
Pounds/Facebook This is no ordinary grilled cheese but still stays true to a proper one. It has muenster and provolone cheese perfectly melted and topped with sprouts, tomato, and tomato vinaigrette, all on toasty sourdough bread.
You can get the Garden Grilled Cheese with the classic side of tomato soup or some of their other great options.

The grilled cheese may steal the spotlight here, but we can’t forget to mention their other food - it’s just too good!
Sherry K/Yelp From the freshly cut french fries to the thick, juicy burgers or crispy fried chicken, Pounds has food everyone loves with twists that makes them unique and delicious. And even if burgers are their specialty, they have great vegetarian options, too, like the grilled cheese or the Mooless Burger shown above.
Try their mouthwatering steak sandwich if you’re up to it, because this thing is huge!
