Venture Richmond: Vegan Grilled Cheese In The Heart Of Jackson Ward

Updated: Oct 18, 2022

PICNIC IDEA: grab grilled cheese paninis from @cheddarjacksonrva and a 4-pack of local beer/cider to-go! 😋đŸ„ȘđŸ§șđŸ» Cheddar Jackson is a quaint, hole-in-the-wall shop located in the heart of Jackson Ward known for their decadent, VEGAN-FRIENDLY grilled cheeses and extensive local beer selection. 👏



I ordered the Impossible Chopped Cheese which features broiled impossible burger, chopped & seasoned, smothered with cheddar jack cheese, and topped with arugula and caramelized onions. 🍔 Also pictured is the Fatboy Basquiat with sliced roast beef and cheddar, caramelized onions, and finished with a house made horseradish sauce. Each sandwich can be customized to dairy or vegan, can choose your toppings/condiments, and comes with a complimentary small cup of tomato soup for dipping. 🍅👌



I’m a grilled cheese fanatic and to have a restaurant here in RVA specializing in grown-up grilled cheese is exactly what my heart desired! OH, and don’t leave without getting dessert! đŸȘ I tried the chocolate chip cookie, and when I was told it was VEGAN, my jaw literally dropped đŸ€Ż



For drinks, we tried the mango and peach flavored BiggAzz Mimosa, but they also serve beer/cider on tap if you are dining in! đŸ„‚đŸ„­đŸ‘



For to-go orders, I recommend their choose your own 4-pack for just $24 where you can pick from a variety of local Virginia beer, seltzers, and ciders including @ninja_kombucha, @buskeycider, @vasenbrewing, @isleybrewingcompany, @smartmouthbeer, @2silosbrewingco, @oozlefinchbeers, @nostbrewingproject, and @lostboycider. You can’t go wrong with a cheese and cider pairing! 🍏



Beside the Hippodrome Theater, Cheddar Jackson is hard to miss with its adorable outdoor seating area and giant swiss cheese stickers on the windows. 🧀 Next time you @venturerichmond and end up in this historic Black neighborhood, be sure to give Cheddar Jackson a stop! 👋
