Melt Shop in King of Prussia has a heavenly grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with truffle oil, Buffalo chicken, or burger patties. The experience can be further elevated by supplementing the sandwich with some chicken tenders, tater tots, along with a milkshake. There is also the option of instead opting for an accompanying salad for those who are looking to achieve a healthier balance.

Meanwhile, Tired Hands Brewcafé in Ardmore — the brewery’s original location — is famous for the pickles, cheese, charcuterie and panini it serves to complement its dark craft beers. However also among the highlights on the menu, is its ultra-local take on the grilled cheese sandwich. This features Lancaster-sourced smoked white cheddar and sweet beef bologna and is best enjoyed when accompanied by a pint of HopHands.
