Went to an event and they ran out of bread, so no more grilled cheese. I witnessed a person buying mac and cheese and they said it would be 10 minutes, after 10 minutes they sold some right in front of her and said«sorry we and out» and offered her corn. The service was bad, the food was smaller portions, and took way to long to get. I would not recommend fancheezical!

My Fiancé and I often frequent the Providence Flea on Sunday afternoons along the water in Providence. We love this, yes for the vendors but even more so for the food trucks. We would usually opt for the Taco Truck options, because of our gluten allergy but a few weeks ago we asked the fine people at Fancheezical if there was a possibility for them to accommodate such allergy. The friendly staff informed us they do have gluten free bread, and although they do not have a separate grill to grill the sandwich on they graciously offered to put tinfoil down to cut out cross contamination. They totally went above and beyond to accommodate our allergy. Seeing how it would be so easy to just cook on same grill and fudge it was cooked separately, the staff at Fancheezical really took responsibility and were more than happy to serve us. And boy were we happy because their grilled cheeses are AMAZING! We both got ‘The Hill’ and we more than happy. Best gourmet grilled cheese around and totally worth the wait, and the price.

Pretty standard grilled cheese sandwich. I found the buttery wetness of the bread to be a little to much for me. The only reason I would order from them again is becuase it’s parked right outside of the bar I’m getting drunk at and there would be an audible moment of me wishing it was Poco Loco.

I tried fancheezical again and still agree with my three star rating. While its tasty, I just sort of feel like I could make it myself at home. I had the Decadance, which was brie, arugula and apricot spread. It was quite good but I did feel that in some places in the sandwich the ratio between the three ingredients was a bit off. I also feel that ten dollars was a little steep for what I got. In short, good sandwich but not blown away.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. It is my favorite food truck in providence, and the most consistent in it’s quality. Completely satisfying; you get a great sandwich with a small cup of tomato soup! I can’t help but stop by when I am walking home. Make sure to savor your sandwich, you might find yourself missing it when you’ve finished eating.

Let’s qualify this rating — high for a food truck which is not the same as I would categorize a brick and mortar restaurant. Okay, got that out of my system. Just didn’t want to confuse people into thinking I’m not a knowledgable foodie! Fancheezical has imaginative combinations of great ingredients elevating the grill cheese sandwich to new heights. Can’t remember the cutsey name given to the sandwich I had, but it had proscuitto and apricot jam on it. Really delightful on a beautiful spring day in the breeze. We also had the tomato bisque soup. Can’t wait to have that cup of yum again. I had complained via email to the owner about them advertising gluten free options and then not having them available when I went the first time. They jumped through hoops to make sure I was accomodated the second time offering me free soup to appease me in the mean time. I would definately recommend you trying this great new craze of food trucks starting with Fancheezical.

Granted, this was the most amazing grilled cheese I have ever had in my life: buttery, grilled, thick-sliced-bread; melty provolone cheese; tangy pesto; and ripe, warm tomatoes smashed into one greasy sandwich. Yum. However, I am not sure if it was worth the 30 – 45 minutes I had to wait to get it. I have a sun burn on my back from standing in line so long. If you want a grilled cheese this summer, wear sunscreen and maybe get a snack first.

The sandwiches are super, super good. The #19 and the Hill are especially delicious. Think of the best grilled cheese your mom made after a long, hard day, filled with the trials and tribulations that a 4th grader must endure; only more refined, and out of a food truck. The bread was crispy and buttery, without being overly greasy. I only feel the need to knock off one star, because $ 7 for a grilled cheese sandwich is a bit pricey.

What’s better than a grilled cheese? A Fancheezical grilled cheese!!! This was my first food truck experience, and it was fantastic! First, I have to say I love cheese. If you don’t, you won’t like this truck. The cook was great, friendly and helpful and the inside of the truck looked very pleasantly clean. I ordered a delicious provolone, tomato, and pesto grilled cheese on italian bread. It was heavenly! Plenty of cheese, not too much pesto, YUM! I surprised myself by ordering the crazy corn too. Being my first food truck experience, I figured I should! It was great! Kind of reminded me of a corn chili. I would definitely recommend it. I look forward to trying more of their delicious creations. I can’t wait until we meet again Fancheezical!

I celebrated national grilled cheese day a day early with the very yummy very gooey #19 from fancheezical. What’s in the oh so delish #19? Prosciutto, Arugula & Apricot Spread w/Cheddar Cheeze. Hmm salty prosciutto and the sweet apricot jam, just yum! I paired with it with crazy corn in a cup which had avocado and bacon. It sounded so different that it must be good and it was! It’s slightly spicy(but not hot) cheesy and just plain good.

These guys are great! Very chill, easily approachable and real people; none of that blow smoke up your ass fake kind of service. Just average everyday people who take pride in their work; I love that! When I go I get the«Old School» with bacon and tomato accompanied by a local soda(support your local business!). The sandy is awesome! On a rainy or cool autumn day nothing beats a great grilled cheese! This particular one is just as delicious as the menu describes it: «A precise blend of aged sharp cheddar enhanced with colby jack and pinch of asiago nestled between crisp slices of Italian or sour dough bread.» It’s just a melted cheese sandwich but doesn’t it just sound divine? Well… it is! The bread is so crisp and fresh and the balance of cheeses is a beautiful marriage. The sharpness of the cheddar cuts the powerful flavor and aroma of the asiago while the colby jack adds a nice consistency and blandness to prevent an overwhelming cheese experience. Those two bold cheeses don’t compete for dominance but rather work well together because of the more mild colby jack. Not a combination I would ever do at home so happy to see it here. I know what you’re thinking: what’s a grilled cheese without tomato soup? Well, it just so happens that they give you a sample cup size of this. I don’t remember being the biggest fan of this(hence four instead of five) but I am particular about my tomato soup. I’ll make a return visit so I can opine accordingly but don’t stress the soup, it works. Overall this might be one of my favorite food trucks in RI. I only get the same thing time after time but that goes to show it’s worth returning too ;)

I stopped here on a Tuesday afternoon hoping for a quick lunch. Unfortunately, so were a LOT of other people. That said, the service was as fast as could be expected, and the food!!! I got a nice standard, grilled cheddar with dill pickles. It was perfect, buttery and rich and melty. I settled in with my Yacht Club soda and my sammich, and imagine my joy at the perfect little dipping cup of parmesan-tomato soup. I’ve never been a fan of tomato soup, but this was JUST enough stick a sammich in, and SOTASTY. Dude. All the best food comes from trucks again. Viva la Food Truck Revolution!

Mmm greasy heaven… Fancheezical was pretty dang good. I had the grilled cheese with pulled pork on it and holy cheezus was it yummy. The flavor of the bbq sauce, pork and cheese mingled with the taste of the rye bread just perfectly. I was an instant fan. Now, with that said, it’s not my favorite food truck out there. Grilled cheese isn’t something I would seek out. If it’s in the area, and there are no taco trucks in sight, I would certainly stop and purchase one. Oh, they also sell local sodas, so that’s a plus.

Food truck… that serves grilled cheese?! I must be dreaming. The BBQ grilled cheese is beyond incredible. I expected the sandwich to be a dripping mess, but I was pleasantly surprised. The BBQ sauce and cheese stayed put between the bread and I was a happy camper. Not only was my sandwich amazing, but on the side they give you a little cup of hot tomato soup to dip it in! I must find this truck again.

Grilled cheese truck? YES! This a great truck, with HILARIOUS owners. I stumbled across this truck when they were parked outside The Avery(which is apparently where they are on Monday nights). Man, that was one good grilled cheese! They have plenty of options, from the more traditional to a little more«wild». I stuffed mine with jalapenos. Yum. The girls and I left happy!

Fancheezical – so delicious, so elusive, such a stupid name. I’ve been wanting to try these guys since I first heard that there was a magical truck that served nothing but grilled cheese. Grilled cheese is a perfect food and lunch trucks are where many of my favorite meals have come from. I *want* to eat at Fancheezical all the time, but I keep getting burned. A couple months ago, I had Friday off and my bf’s regular Friday lunch was canceled – perfect time to go get grilled cheese together, we thought. I follow Fancheezical on facebook, so I asked what their Friday plans were – they said Thayer street. Perfect! Except we hiked all over the Brown U area looking for the truck only to later find out that they were in Kennedy Plaza. Too far away to walk, and we were desperate for food. Damn you – truck mobility! I finally went to Kennedy Plaza alone two weeks later(bf is still angry), and I had whatever the Vermont Cheddar with apples sandwich is called. Um yeah, it was awesome, now I’ll spend the rest of my life chasing this damn truck. Strike 2, I sent bf to the Hope Street Spring Block Party. I work on Hope St, and was unable to get away, but I figured he could bring me a sandwich and then we’d have a lovely picnic date. Except Fancheezical ran out of cheese before we got there. Damn you– truck small storage places! Is this what once bitten, twice shy means? Can’t they just park in my back yard???

Slightly more«it’s ooooohhhhhhkaaaaaaay» than«A-OK», given the landscape of PVD food trucks that are really bringin’ it. And let me preface that grilled cheese is my death row meal. The BBQ pulled pork + cheese on rye is the best bet if you’re hungry and spot the truck o cheez, but I wouldn’t call it a destination grilled cheese by any means. The more basic, homey cheese blend on white bread option is kind of lame. I got burned out before I could finish it, actually. Crispy, yes; gooey, yes; but simple as it’s supposed to be, it was still missing… something.

What better way to celebrate National Grilled Cheese Day than with an ooey, gooey, delectably cheesy treat from FanCHEEZical, and a review to follow it? There is no better way! Out of the three available options today, I chose An Apple A Day –aged Vermont cheddah, Gala apples and some other delightful cheese that complimented the other ingredients on the perfectly-grilled whole grain bread. What really did it for me was the itty-bitty container of tomato soup that came on the side for dippin’… How presh is that? For $ 5, you can’t go wrong, kids. This sandwich was savory and just a tad apple-y sweet, crispy, melty, and all sorts of good. Follow them on twitter(@fancheezical) for location info. Do it.
