Cheese Bar

Formally known as Steve's Cheese, Steve Jones has moved his cheese mecca to Mt. Tabor and renamed it Cheese Bar. Best news of all it is only a 10 minute walk there from our house. I thought it was just a sandwich place, but there is a lot more. They have a retail counter where you can buy all kinds of cheeses and meats, as well as fancy chocolate, vinegars, and other gourmet items. They have a half dozen tables inside as well as a few outside where you can order super delicious cheese and meat plates, as well as great sandwiches, soup, salads and on the day we were there a very nice blueberry bread pudding (make sure you add the sheepshead cheese). To top it all off they have a small bar with six local beers on tap, as well as a long list of bottled beers and wines.

This place should do well as the food is great and the staff is really nice, and if you love cheese you'll love talking to the owner Steve, he is quite the expert.

Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 11AM - 11 PM, Closed Monday
