Grilled cheese has been a childhood favorite for years. Most of us remember them as a simple slice of cheese melted in between two slices of buttered-up bread and grilled to perfection. However, this popular dining spot in St. Louis has reinvented the grilled cheese sandwich and made it more gourmet and delicious as ever.

The Fountain On Locust is predominately known for its ice cream and artisan cocktail selection, but loyal customers knows it has something very cheesy to offer.

Behold… I give you the Royal Grille sandwich.

Kelly M./Yelp This specialty adult grilled cheese features a savory and sweet blend of white cheddar and mozzarella with Fuji apple slices. You can even add ham or turkey to it if you want some protein.

Choose a nostalgic side.

For that comfort food taste, you can opt for a side of their homemade soup or choose from one of their other sides which include the Strutz and St. Louis salads, Brussels kale cup, spicy carrots and hand-cut potato chips.

Don’t forget about dessert.

Jill R./Yelp To top off a fantastic meal, try out their “World’s Smallest Ice Cream Cones.” These tiny ice creams are the perfect sweet treat after a hearty sandwich.

It’s impossible to visit just once.

Zen D./Yelp In addition to this mouthwatering grilled cheese, the Fountain also serves ice cream martinis, retro cocktails, champagne floats, classic malts & milkshakes and old-fashioned phosphate sodas. It can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike!
