The Grilled Cheeserie - Facebook
The Grilled Cheeserie - Facebook The Grilled Cheeserie made waves as a food truck before its brick-and-mortar store, and the addition of a milkshake bar to its already delicious grilled cheese menu has made it a local favorite.

If you aren’t in the mood for a classic shake, however, you can indulge in an old fashioned float. Address: 2003 Belcourt Avenue, Nashville, TN 37212
