Cheeseboy to Open a Brick-and-Mortar Restaurant in Downtown Boston

A group of takeout restaurants specializing in grilled cheese sandwiches is going to be opening its first brick-and-mortar storefront in the Boston area, and it will be located in the heart of the city.

The Real Downtown Crossing Facebook page is reporting that Cheeseboy is planning to open a shop on Washington Street (across from the old Borders books space), making this the third location to open in Boston and fifth in the metropolitan area. Based on other locations of Cheeseboy, expect to see an array of grilled cheese sandwiches as well as soups and desserts at the new spot.

We don't have an exact address for the upcoming Cheeseboy on Washington Street as of yet; as soon as we do, we will post it here.

[March 14, 2013 update: One of our sources tells us that the address for the upcoming Cheeseboy restaurant in Downtown Crossing will be 280 Washington Street, and it plans to open sometime this spring (based on a sign in the window).]

Cheeseboy can currently be found at South Station and the Prudential Center in Boston, at the Natick Mall in Natick, and at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree. Other locations are in Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, where it first started out. Its website is at  http://cheeseboy.com/
