I work out of state a lot and every time I get a chance o stop by cheesy street grill I love it!!

Omg it was the best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had I wish you were closer to me

This was our first escape game venture out of what is considered the "Orlando area" (I don't consider Sanford part of that, but apparently people do). We specifically picked Tampa because the owners of Escape Goat had recommended Imagine Escape. Of course, it's always a great sign when escape room owners recommend a game to you. We checked out Imagine Escape's website and discovered that their games follow a story line, with "The Alleyway," a 15 minute introductory game being the prologue, and "Jungle Gem" the first chapter. We had heard that they had an easy 15 minute game and weren't initially planning to play it, but once we saw that there was a story line and that the game was pretty cheap, we decided we had to do it. I thought the idea of a story line was really cool and unique and it got us really excited to visit and play both games in one day. "The Alleyway" was a really interesting, though obviously short, game. It was easy and very obviously for beginners, but at the same time it had some cool puzzles that we hadn't seen before. We went for lunch next door and then came back to play chapter one, "Jungle Gem." This game also had a lot of really interesting and unique puzzles. If I had to critique something, I would say that the actors in the intro videos were a little awkward... but it doesn't impact the game, obviously, and I did think the story line was really cool. The ending of "Jungle Gem" was really satisfying, and based on what the owners have planned for the future games, I'm very excited to see what they come up with next. They're planning to have another game open sometime in May, and I can't wait to come back to continue the story!

This is a great time. Family owned escape room close to the house. They accepted our walk in appointment for the 15 min game. We have done other escape rooms and this was a refreshing twist on the game. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend people to step out of the box and try something new and challenging like Imagine Escape Room. They know what they are doing. 15 minutes and 9 bucks? Way less than $1 a minute!

This is the first escape room business where they allow you to try a 15 minute escape room to sort of give you the idea about what escape rooms are all about. But once you play The AlleyWay...you're definitely hooked! The mac-daddy of the rooms is "Jungle Gem"....wow-inducing, great fun! You gotta be on your toes and think outside the box on some puzzles. Clever, immersive...an added layer of quality we've not seen in the franchise-type escape rooms. The music, the narrative, all-engaging, and did I say "FUN"! Young and old will thoroughly enjoy! Get on the leader board quickly! Near USF and the Cracker Barrel

Fun and friendly staff. Try the short 15 minute escape to get yourself prepared for the main event.

Fantastic place! My husband and I walked in and we were accommodated to do a game. We did the 15 min game and it was really good!! We loved it !! The owners are super cool and very nice people!! We can't wait to be back with a group of family and friends to do a 1 hour game next!

I've done one escape room before this. This one was much better and left me wanting more! I loved how you could work on multiple clues at the same time ... this eliminates all team members hovering over the same clue, which happens when clues are sequential and contingent on you solving the previous clue. This was a great experience! I appreciated the amount of detail they put into their props. The clues were also very unique! We did the Jungle Gem based on previous reviews and it did not disappoint. We can't wait until the next chapter for this story line is ready. This is a family run place that has been up and running for 3 months. You definitely don't feel like they threw a bunch of halloween decorations on the walls like they do at some franchises. I definitely recommend this place especially if you're looking for place to escape the heat/rain. There is also a great pizza place next door!

Impressive escape rooms! We did all three rooms in a row and truly enjoyed every detail! Challenging but not impossible, if you have never done an escape room their 15 minute room is the perfect way to get started!

This escape room is incredible! We have played the alleyway and jungle gem. Thee puzzles are very creative, i like that it's not just a bunch of locks/boxes. We went with a group of three for both rooms and were able to escape each of them. We are very excited to try research and any other rooms that they open up!

This was not my first escape game. My husband and I have played a couple highly rated ones in North Carolina and found them to be fun, challenging, creative and entertaining but Imagine Escape blew them out of the water. We ambitiously took on Jungle Gem with only two people. The puzzles were really creative and fresh. Everything flowed together really well and I felt like I was immersed in the world they had created, which is something I really want in an escape room. All the rooms tie back into the same story line as well. They plan on expanding even more and building on the existing story. They allow you 3 clues if you still want to make their leaderboard. We had to ask for a couple extra hints but it was more because we were not paying attention to details and not because the puzzles were unreasonable. We had a blast and we were able to get out in time, but barely. We also had the opportunity to play test their new room, reSEArch. I honestly thought they would not be able to make a room as good as Jungle Gem but I was wrong. We actually played with a family of five. There were players in our group as young as ten and everyone was able to contribute and be involved. The theming was excellent and the puzzles were really fun and challenging and of a good variety. We gave them a little feedback just to help smooth out the flow in small ways but even if they made no changes, this would be room I would recommend to escape room aficionados. I would recommend trying this room with at least 3 people because there are enough things to do where you need to work together and 3+ would be helpful. This room would be fantastic for a team building exercise. We totally loved playing both rooms and now I can't wait till they open the next chapter in the story! Michael and Hayley privately own the business and are the masterminds behind all the puzzles and the design. This is not a franchised establishment that churns out mediocre puzzles just to make a buck. The passion they have for escape rooms is evident in their creativity and craftsmanship. Even the lobby is a place I would totally hang out in. Actually you can rent and hang out in a room they have designated for board games. We didn't have time for this on this trip but I totally would if we lived closer. Overall, highly recommend. I am now going to be spoiled on escape rooms. I think I will be hard pressed to find one as good as these anywhere near me.

Great fun! This is our first escape room experience. We brought the whole family (5 of us) ages 10-40. Everyone was able to contribute something to the escape. The clues were creative and the props well done. Everyone was excited to escape, and now we're ready for the next "chapter" (each scenario is a continuation of a larger story line). Bring your best and brightest, it's a fun challenge!

This place is amazing! The best grilled cheese ever! I got the braised short ribs, red wine Onions, fig spread and goat cheese! This could be on a a 5 Star restaurants menu! The best thing I've eaten in a long time.

I've known Cheesy Street Grill since it's inception as a food truck. It blew me away that they were going into the Mass Pike rest stops at Natick (EB) and Westborough (WB)! What an awesome alternative to McD's, Dunkin, Sbarro, and the rest of those ho-hum options. I'm going to have to make a road trip soon!

What a concept.................comfort food raised 1000 levels. Met the owner, quite nice. Had the sandwhich and it was fantastic.

I was at the Coventry Regional Farmers Market yesterday and was getting very hungry after wandering around looking at all the pottery and produce. I walked over to the food truck area, and since I'd never tried any of the food from any of the trucks before, wasn't sure which food truck to order lunch from. After looking at the Cheesy Street Grill menu, my choice was easy! I ordered the grilled goat cheese, fig preserve, and carmelized onion braised in red wine sandwich. One bite of the sandwich, and I thought OMG, this is the most incredibly delicious sandwich I think I've ever had! It was that awesome! I cant wait to go back and try something else, perhaps the mac & cheese. If you like grilled cheese sandwiches, you'll love these gourmet type grilled cheese sandwiches!

I loved this grilled cheese Buttery, gooey, and hot Delicious to savor It sure hit the spot I would if I could Eat here every day I loved this grilled cheese That's all I'm going to say

Excellent service and surprisingly delicious comfort food at the Natick rest stop plaza. Why anyone would go to MacDonald's is a mystery! Real strong cheeses, a large assortment of swanky condiments, toasted to perfection, and quite reasonably priced!!

Excellent alternative for a turnpike rest stop. Hope it spreads East to West. Delicious sandwich w/no skimping on ingredients. I would highly recommend

Amazing I will plan my lunch stops to be here when in the area. Had "the great hambino" Went back for a second because it was so good

Get plenty of napkins! We had the grilled cheese with caramelized onion and short ribs. With a side of mac and cheese. Really yummy. I guess they are on both the east and west bound sides of the pike. It's a small business so a good alternative to dangelos or McDonald's. Really great service too

If you are ever traveling on the Mass Pike around the Natick or Westborough locations please do yourself a favor and stop into the Cheesy Street Grill. They are located in the midst of your typical fast food options but don't be fooled by the company. This food is incredible. It's comfort food to the max. I've now had the extreme pleasure of trying their tomato bisque, Mac and cheese and (more than) a few of their sandwiches, including the All Star (goat cheese, fig jam, red wine caramelized onions) which is my absolute favorite and guilty pleasure. Everything is fresh and much of it is homemade (the owner told me!). I was first introduced to these lovers of cheese when they were operating out of a food truck in Central Connecticut. After trying their signature sandwich and tomato bisque (my ultimate comfort food) I asked them if they catered and to my delight they said yes! I quickly locked them down to cater my wedding after party (lots of happy drunks that night). And FYI: there is an article circulating around that says they still take requests to cater (stalker level status here). So the next time you're traveling around the Pike, put down the fast food and grab some grilled cheese. I promise you, your stomach with thank you for it. :)

Awesome sandwiches! I stopped at the grill on my way to the DMV. I had the Signature with bacon. So delicious!!

Five stars for fast casual comfort food. There are only a few places I go out of my way for really good food. This is the only location on a highway stop! Good service, good concept and a great place to grab a gourmet grilled cheese. My favorite is the taco grilled cheese. If you are lucky, rob will cook yours. All the chefs make them great. Rob's always has a little extra TLC.

Stopped by the Cheesy Street Grill & was so excited that Lisa, the founder, was there to greet us! I ordered the chipotle mac & cheese w/bacon. The "heat" was just right! My son ordered the traditional grilled cheese & loved it! Couldn't resist trying the variety cupcake box - Delicioso! Easy to access, chose the Mass Pike, but you can cut through from Main St/Rte. 27 by DQ. Keep the dream going!

We used for a Church fundraiser and everyone raved about it. The owners were communicative and very friendly. High quality ingredients. This isn't just grilled cheese.. This is a sandwich you remember! Hope to have again soon.

All I have to say is Mac & Cheese. CSG's Mac is unreal. The chipotle bread crumbs and the plethora of additional toppings make this the most delicious bowl of mac you have ever had. The grilled cheese, specifically The All-Star, is out of this world. Goat cheese, fig jam, and red-wine caramelized onions all melded together to create cheesy goodness is a sure crowd pleaser. I highly recommend Cheesy Street Grill for your next stop on the Mass Pike!

This was an amazing random stop. We walked into the service station, and saw Cheesy street for the first time and thought might as well try it. It was fantastic, and the rapport from the staff was great. Apperently tge owner herself made my sandwhich, and you could taste that should cared and loved her work. 5/5 will be back whenever im on the pike

Ordered an american cheese with bacon and tomatoes. Also a dipper of tomato soup. Both were delicious. Only complaint is that your meal can get pricey depending on your order. Went back on another date to try their Chipotle Mac N'Cheese but it was not on the menu that day.

I'm shocked-my new favorite grilled cheese sandwich comes from a rest stop! The French onion grilled cheese tastes just like the top of a bowl of French onion soup-I'm impressed by the depth of flavor they were able to put into the sandwich. Worth the stop if you're driving by!

Stopped for a quick bite. The Get Shorty was awesome and I added onions and banana peppers to kick it up a notch. The two gentlemen working behind the counter (1:13 pm on 9/1) were awesome and even checked back to make sure I liked the food. Great service and great food! Highly recommended.

I saw them doing construction on this place for months, and was very curious what they were going to put here. So to my surprise it was a cheesy street grill; I've only tried it from the truck, but this was very good. This is the perfect thing to get when traveling the pike at the Natick rest stop! The get shorty was very good, and the mac and cheese was on flik!

We stopped on I90 rest area in Natick and discovered a newly opened Cheesy Street Grill. Tasted 3 different sandwiches and we were happy with all of them. Such a great alternative to fast food options!
