Great local food shop. Incredible assortment of gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. The maple bacon grilled cheese absolutely delicious. Parmesan fries and the beer-cheese fries were just as good. Prices are a bit high ($40 for two people) and the service was slower than expected, but we were not in a hurry. Definitely enjoyed our meal.

The only reason I gave this place three stars because the girl behind the counter was very friendly. It’s a very clean and nice atmosphere. This was my first time here and it will be my last time here. I explained to the girl this is my first time here and although she was friendly, she didn’t really put too much effort into explaining much about the place. I ordered the cheesesteak and asked for a regular order of fries. With a can of soda, the whole thing came to $19 and change. A little pricey in my opinion. The fries came covered in Parmesan cheese. I wasn’t expecting that, that’s why I asked for regular fries. I wasn’t crazy about Parmesan cheese on my fries. The Philly cheesesteak looked great at first, but as soon as I took a bite, it seemed really odd to me. The consistency of it was weird like very mushy. It almost seemed as though I was eating a pulled pork sandwich instead of a Philly cheesesteak. Honestly, I have a big appetite, but couldn’t finish it because of the taste. I actually took the meat out of the bread and ate the bread. Maybe it’s just not my thing but I didn’t like it.

Most amaaaaaazing grilled cheese sandwich I’ve had in a LONG time! I can’t remember the name but it had bacon and syrup! Melty…cheesy…bread was buttery soft with a slight crunch, once you bit into it! Parmesan fries were fried to perfection! They have a local lemonade company’s products for purchase! Man, I want to go back after writing this review!

The pulled pork melt absolutely blew my mind. One of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever had. And they're big! I ate half before I thought to take a picture. The picture doesn't do it justice anyway. Mind blowingly good!

We had a great experience at the Cargo District location. Staff was friendly and helpful with recommendations since we were between a couple of different sandwiches. The food was fantastic! I highly recommend the pimento cheese blt.

Awesome place, friendly staff. Fresh food. Got The Detour with Garlic Parmesan Fries and a can of Coke. Very tasty sandwich.

While the food was pretty good, I don't think the price matched the meal. The fries portion was a good size. I didn't like that the only soda options were in a can at $2.50 each. The table was sticky, but I can't say if this is the norm. I do have to say that the location is great, right in the cargo district. If you are looking for a bite while walking around, Cheese Smith isn't a bad option at all.

Awesome grilled cheese with lots of options. Customized a cool sandwich for a great price! $6 for base plus only $2 extra for tons of pulled pork. Had to eat outside because the AC was too cold. Other than that it’s a great place.
