Best grilled cheese of your life and the fries are great too with the rosemary sea salt on top. Ask for their aioli sauce because it’s the bomb. I am in love with Charlotte and it’s fantastic food but every day I seem to be eating another grilled cheese sandwich.”Four days and four grilled cheese.sandwiches.This is by far the best grilled sandwich you’ll ever have. This food court rocks! What will make me return tomorrow for my fifth grilled cheese is the people who work here. As an out of towner I can use all the help and friendliness I can get and these guys are the sweetest, kindest most awesome people you could ever meet. You’ll be greeted by whomever is working. So far I’ve talked with five people and each are wonderful. Here is where you’ll really understand southern hospitality is all about. What a frikkin relief after my Bay Area home which is now burning up at 113 degrees today. Did I mention the great A/C works great here? Come here! The food is great! The people are great! The vibe is great and so is the music. Your going to love ❤️ it!

It's worth trying at least once. They're a little bit pricey for what they are IMO but everything is fresh and if I remember correctly they make all their stuff from scratch. If you go in person ask about their off menu items sometimes they have some off menu items til they run out. Their tater tots are some of my favorite in the area. The pig Mac is the perfect blend of sweet and savory. They also have some beers on tap on rotation. This is a food stall located inside optimist hall. Service is always friendly and quick. I really like optimist hall's setup it's like a giant food court. You can actually get here via lightrail if you choose to drive there's ample parking however recently the property owners decided to cap free parking at 90mins so keep that in mind. I spend an average of 2+ hrs in here when I go.

Papi Queso is always great - I’ve never had a bad meal and truly appreciate the consistency. I sit at the tables outside when I visit Optimist but since it was cold and I was by myself I sat at the Papi Queso counter today. Everyone working was great but I wanted to give a shoutout to Amy who was extremely attentive, friendly, and working hard to keep the orders moving along during the lunch rush. They were experiencing problems with their online ordering system and she kept her cool/stayed positive while navigating the problem and dealing with customers whose orders were never received due to the system error. Can’t wait to come back. :)

Uhh, one of everything please! If you've ever been to Optimist Hall you can understand me when I say "go where the long lines are...". Papi Queso proves that to be true. Arguable, one of the longest lines in Optimist Hall and now I know why. Papi Queso made grilled cheese sandwiches shoot off of the charts.

Originating as a food truck, Papi Queso adopted Optimist Hall as their new brick and morter location. Keeping with their cheesy style and eclectic sandwiches there's a few other things added to their menu that will not disappoint.

I was with a group so we decided to grab a wide selection, divide and conquer. The sampling included: Mushroom Gruyere, Jalapeno Bacon and the Cheesy Classic. We threw in a couple of orders of fries and Mozzy Sticks. Now this was very pricey, sandwiches range from about $7.50-$9.00 however, there very unique and dang good! Everything was really good and I will definitely be back. My favorite was the Mushroom Gruyere, so cheesy and flavorful and went very well with the fries which were seasoned in truffle oil. The cheesy sandwich was a good throwback but given the price I would rather spend that money on something I rarely get. My only complaint was the mozzy sticks and its not really a complaint but more of an observation. I couldn't pin down if it was the cheese or the sauce it is was extremely...

I recently visited Papi Queso in Charlotte and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed with the creative grilled cheese options and the overall quality of the food.

The restaurant had a great selection of grilled cheese sandwiches, with unique and creative ingredient combinations that were both delicious and satisfying. The sandwiches were made with high-quality ingredients and were grilled to perfection, with a crispy exterior and gooey, melted cheese on the inside.

The restaurant itself was also quite nice, with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The seating was comfortable and there was plenty of space to move around, even during busy times.

On the downside, the prices were a bit steep, which might make it difficult for some people to enjoy Papi Queso on a regular basis. However, given the high quality of the food and the unique menu options, I think the prices are definitely worth it for a special treat or a night out.

Overall, if you're in the mood for a creative grilled cheese sandwich in Charlotte, Papi Queso is definitely worth checking out. The great grill, unique menu options, and overall high quality of the food make it a top-notch spot for...
