I must say it's one of the best mac&cheese I've ever had. I got the mac&cheese with bacon . If you're a fan of mac&cheese then I recommend this place for you!

Update to review: Dinner tonight consisted of The Club Sandwich (American and Swiss cheese, honey ham, smoked turkey, bacon and tomato), a cup of broccoli cheese soup and coleslaw. So mad that I didn't get a bowl of the soup as it was delicious! There were strings, you hear me, strings of cheese in the soup. Thick, cheesy and so good. The Club Sandwich is my sandwich. I will try to do the others, but not sure they will make the cut.This crap is filling like a mug. This is my second time ordering from here, but I am thinking this place is a heart attack waiting to happen between the cheese and meat. But I guess it is a chance I will have to take. This meal takes Chicago Grilled Cheese & Mac Factory to 5 stars*****************************************************************************Amazing what you can discover in your neck of the woods thanks to Yelp. This place is literally down the street from me. I have pass this building a million times taking Leland as a short cut to bypass traffic on Lawrence. Thanks to one of my peeps (Shay R) bookmarking this joint and me seeing it, I never would have realized that Chicago Grilled Cheese & Mac Factory was open for business. Frankly we had no idea what the place was. There are chairs and tables in the space, but we never saw anyone going in or coming out. They only deliver. There is no option for pickup on Chicago Eat24, which is a shame since I could literally walk down and get my own food.I am a lover of mac & cheese and didn't feel like cooking dinner, so I decided to give this place a try. Ordering on Yelp was pretty easy. There is a $4 delivery charge and I paid it because I didn't feel like making dinner (#firstworldproblems, #thestruggleisreal).The menu looked interesting as it covered desserts, appetizers, soups, mac & cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches. I like the fact that they have an option for you to create your own grilled cheese sandwich or mac & cheese with decent number of options of items to add.The delivery service was fast and the food was hot when it arrived. The order consisted of the following:The 3 Little Pigs Sandwich - Dr. M got this. There was nothing left and he said it was good. He loved the Texas toast as the bread.Loaded Fries - great flavor. Fries were crunchy like one of the reviewer's said and there was plenty of bacon. Could have been more cheese on them. Seemed like the cheese was poured on top of the fries once they were placed into the container. I would recommend layering the fries and cheese for maximum flavor. The Bacon Burger Grilled Cheese Sandwich - I got this and it was absolutely divine. The flavors were well suited together and the Texas toast was beautiful. It was thick, buttery and golden brown. I didn't even mind that my last bite didn't have anything in it but cheese.Coleslaw - I am funny about coleslaw. Not a big fan of mayo and I will not eat just anyone's coleslaw. There is a fine balancing act of cabbage to mayo to seasonings to achieve perfection in coleslaw. The place does it right. Don't know if it is made fresh or they purchased it from a vendor. Don't care...I loved it. I will say that their price is a little steep for the size of the container. For $4 it is smaller than the large size from KFC (they do coleslaw right too), but I would get it again.Black and Blue Mac - this was good, but could have been better. It was cheddar and bleu cheese, Cajun steak tenderloin and fried onion straws. There could have been more bleu cheese in it as the cheddar somewhat overwhelmed it. I would have loved to have that mix of cheddar and bleu cheese co-mingling. Steak was tenderChocolate Decadent Brownie - solid brownie. It was slightly warm. Couldn't tell if that was the way it was served or due to being next to the warm food. Next time I will be going to Lindo Guadalajara to get some coconut ice cream to go with it.Didn't get soup, but they look interesting. The idea of getting soup and a grilled cheese sandwich delivered to me is a concept I can work with. The grilled cheese won me over, but the jury is out on the mac & cheese. I want to try it again but do my own version, which will most likely be awesome. Overall, I like the concept of menu and will be a frequent customer of this place. Prices are not bad and I can live with the $4 coleslaw.

This was very good mac!! I did the build your own with Cajun spice and jalapeño. Very creamy and cheesy. The size is good for two to share, or one with leftovers.

Four menus for four carry-outs under one roof. They don't have standard wait service but they'll try their best to serve you in-house should you decide to eat there. They offer a few high top pub tables for those wanting to dine-in. Though mostly they are a delivery/ carry out kind of joint.Why four different menus? Who knows. They want to offer a variety of food but do so under different names. So be sure to tell them under which menu you will be ordering. It's okay to order a mix.How is it? I got carry-out three nights in a row. Life got hectic and crazy and wasn't allowing me the time to cook at home. So convenience had to do. The food is tasty and when picked up on time, you should enjoy the quality. I'm not a mac n'cheese connoisseur so I can't tell you whether it's mix or milk and cheese. It tasted and looked good. The quality of the cheese didn't strike me as cheap and the dish carried some good flavors. They offer a couple varieties and the one I ordered came out well, there's a photo in Yelp images, it's known as Cheesy Lisa. It contained cheddar and chihuahua cheese, taco seasoned ground beef and jalapeno peppers topped with sour cream and crumbled fritos. Yes.. loaded. Also tried the club sandwich with Texas toast, rib tips & fries, and their onion rings. The onion rings are definitely mass marketed, frozen product and not worth the stomach space. As it does not contain real onions, merely onion meal. They offer a large styrofoam container of it. That's a size bigger than what most fast food grills would offer. I'd wager there are items they sell that are not made in house and of the frozen variety. Those you'll have to figure or inquire with staff. As far as what I had ordered I have been happy which is what brought me back day after day.

Best Mac and cheese ever! My daughter said this is her new favorite place! Note: the address on the building is different than what is posted here. We almost left because we couldn't clearly see the name. Looks like 3 places in one so you have to walk up to the door to see their name.

Delicious!We ordered deliver tonight via Yelp (which was actually via grub hub). We had the Parmesan Garlic chicken fingers, Cajun fries and the Cheesy Lisa. All of it was still warm and tasty by the time it was delivered. We requested a few modifications (jalapeños on the side and extra ranch) and it was honored. There was plenty of food for the two of us and enough for leftovers. This place is great for comfort food and I'll definitely order again.

So this place isn't a restaurant... really.It's a takeout place that you can sit and eat at. The owner was very pleasant, but it was obvious that this was not the plan for his business.They are primarily a delivery/pickup business, and judging by how busy it was - a pretty good one.It's 3 "cuisines" rolled into one location.The Mac and cheese menu was what drew us there, but we got items off the "sandwich" and the "comfort food" menu. My daughter had the grilled cheese sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese. There was so much on the sandwich it was oozing out! The "side" of Mac should last her about 2 weeks (it was a decent portion).My wife had the meatloaf, which was tasty but didn't blow her away. I had the bbq bacon burger. Cooked well, tasted great. Crispy fries. Solid A.Also got buffalo fries with blue cheese (rocket fries I think). I wasn't a fan - but it was a neat idea, and I did want to try them... so I'm not knocking them, they're just not for me.To summarize- decent delivery/take out place. Good food. Good portions. Definitely not a date spot!!

I ordered here from UberEats. It was a new recommended for me and I was pretty hyped reading the menu. I had no expectations because I didn't look up any reviews beforehand. When ordering for just myself, I try to keep my UE total under $20, so I settled (quickly) on the Loaded Baked Potato Mac. It was appx $14 which was reasonable! My order came quick and was neatly packaged for delivery and still warm. I was surprised at how heavy the bag was! The portion was HUGE and I split it into two (one for next day's lunch!). When I say this was one of the best macs I've ever had, it's no exaggeration. It was creamy and full of flavor. I loved the addition of potatoes. It reheated great the next day too! I can't wait to try more dishes here. My only feedback is that I wish the chives had been fresh chives but still worthy of a five star review. Will definitely order again and already bragged to my roommates about how great it was!

A low-key carry out location with varied options to chose from. I couldn't find the place at first because of how hidden it is. While it's a little hard to find, the search is worth it, as there is more than just your basic mac and cheese options and the food is delicious.

The food was great! However, I requested no plastic utensils and was sent them anyway. This is actually illegal in Chicago if they are not requested and the plastic is very harmful for the environment. Please be more mindful of only sending utensils if people specifically ask for them in the future.
