About this place Cheese Louise Portland

Cheese Louise is a casual, low-priced spot on Fore Street in Portland's Old Port that specialises in grilled cheese sandwiches and other comfort food. It's a mainstream gay-friendly place, not a gay venue, and works well for a quick, cheap meal between walks around the waterfront. Reviews are very strong (4.7 from about 1,600 ratings). No hours are listed here, so check before heading over, especially late in the evening.

Adorable little place with friendly staff and good food! Their special sauce was better with sandwiches than the tomato soup. My only complaint was the price as it was very expensive for two sandwiches, soup, and drinks @ $64

Jordan was a friendly food server and all of the food was delicious. This is a great late night spot to eat.

If you're a elevated grilled cheese sandwich aficionado, don't sleep on this place. Outstanding!
