Dallas Grilled Cheese Co (Mockingbird Station - Dallas)

Went to an office lunch at the Dallas Grilled Cheese Co in Mockingbird Station.

I ordered the Cattleman’s Grilled Cheese ($12.99). Described on the menu as "Juicy smoked brisket, Muenster, Smoked Gouda & Yellow Cheddar on Rustic Bread, served with a side of house-made BBQ sauce" and a side order of Sweet Papas ($2.99). Add in my Diet Coke ($2.25), tax, tip and the grand total of my lunch-for-one was about $24.00.

HOLY FREAKIN' MOLY!

Yeah, I fell for it. I ordered the most expensive sandwich on the menu thinking it'd give me the most for my money. I was mostly wrong.

The meal was fairly good but was it $24 good? I think not. Others may not have any problem paying such an amount but I'm more frugal.

FINAL VERDICT: If you've not tried this place before, maybe it's worth a try. If you have tried and you go back once, twice or more often, then your wallet is thicker than mine. The food isn't bad. Some might like it but I have to pass on it because of the sheer cost benefit isn't there for me.
