Mactory Gourmet Mac N Cheese

Wow!! So many choices and so good!I'd been wanting to try Mactory so on a very cold afternoon, in need of comfort food, I stopped by. The restaurant is not hard to find, but being in a small strip center on side road, it could be easily overlooked. Parking might be scarce during busy times, but at a little after 1pm on a Wednesday, there was plenty of parking.I went straight to the counter to look at the various menus & order. The young man at the counter, son of the owners, was very friendly and helpful as I tried to decide what to order from the mini delicious sounding items. He suggested that for my first time it might be good to try one of the signature pastas. I said I wanted something with veggies and he pointed out the Garden Grove. After looking it over, I decided to order the small portion which normally comes with your choice of two veggies, but I wanted to add more veggies to it (broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, and grilled onions). Since they did not have iced tea, and mostly bottled or canned soft drinks, I opted to have water which I filled for myself around the corner from the counter. It was filtered, cold, and perfect. They told me to have a seat and they would call my name when my food was ready.I sat down and only had a couple of minutes before a young lady brought my food to the table since I was one of the only customers in the restaurant. It looked amazing! (See picture) And it tasted even better. The broccoli and cauliflower were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The mushrooms and onions were also delightfully, seasoned and savory. The veggies were placed in rows across the top of the macaroni and cheese, which had pepper jack added to the normal cheese sauce. Words fail me! It was incredibly delicious. I would be thrilled to be able to make something that tasted this good.I have to admit that this is not a place for someone on a diet. Especially a low-carb diet! But it is not totally unhealthy either. Everything is house-made using fresh ingredients. It is not low-calorie, but it is a substantial meal, even if you order the small portion. Most of the signature pastas come with some kind of meat, protein, but there are vegetarian options as well.I look forward to returning and trying more of the signature pastas or possibly the hibachi rice bowls. And I think my husband will enjoy the tomato sauce on his pasta rather than the cheese.

Everyone loves Mac and cheese, but the Mactory has excelled at changing up the fan favorite pasta! We enjoyed the lobster Mac and a build your own with classic sauce and fried chicken. The pasta itself was great but the chicken and lobster were top tier and seasoned well!Employees were super kind and helpful and the shop itself has a funky alternative vibe which we liked.If we ever travel back to the area (all the way from MO) we will def return.

The food is delicious. Nice environment too! Location isn't the best but overall it's amazing.

The food was delicious and fresh. I will definitely be eating there again soon. The service was amazing and she was very happy.

Heard from a friend that this place was worth the calories so I decided to stop in. I have had a lot of lobster Mac and cheese but this has to be my favorite! I can't imagine a single person eating more than a small in one sitting, but I wouldn't mind having leftovers. The people working were so kind and helpful! I will have a hard time not coming here every day.

I've ordered some of their large dishes for work parties and I've ordered dinner from here. Both were really good. The staff are awesome and the food is delicious. If you're a Mac n cheese lover, then ya gotta try this place out!

Oh. My.If y'all want to go and get your comfort food on, this is the place. The owners take great pride in their food and it shows. Pretty much everything is made in-house: from their hand cut and breaded chicken, to their assortment of dipping sauces. They make it all. We tried an assortment of their house menu items and all were a hit. We had the Steakhouse, the Pig Out, and the Angry Buffalo. There was also a "build your own" combo ordered. We added some slices of the Texas garlic toast and, let me tell you, that stuff was decadent. A medium was easily 2 meals for us - so excited to have it again tomorrow. This place is a little off the beaten path, but well worth the visit. Tip: don't park in front of the convenience store, they will have you towed. Put on your stretchy pants, and go tuck in to some delicious mac and cheese at this local place.

I found this place after reading a review for another Mac and cheese restaurant. The reviewer said to go to Mactory instead. So I did. So many amazing choices. Mia said her favorites were the Steakhouse and the Angry Buffalo. I got the Buffalo. You can see from the pic how creamy it is. Spiral pasta, crunchy fried chicken doused in Buffalo sauce on some cheesy goodness. They made it fresh so it was about a 10-15 wait but I wasn't in a hurry. I got the carrot ginger tumeric juice to go with it and it was more spicy than sweet. This place is a bit of a drive from my house but I can't wait to bring my husband back. I don't eat a lot so the $10 portion was plenty for me. Ambiance is more of a dive but the music had my feet tapping and Mia was an awesome server.

Kind of a hole in the wall place, but with absolutely delicious food. We didn't dine in and opted for take-out, which always comes with the risk of food not being as good as if you're served at the restaurant, but that wasn't a problem here! The food was fresh, heavily flavored, and a good serving size for the price. I got the small bowl of lobster mac which was plenty to fill me up and left nothing to be desired BECAUSE IT WAS SO GOOD. My BF got the steak mac in a middle bowl and it was enough to feed him the following day for lunch. I will be returning, and would recommend this place to everyone!

I didn't get any pictures but honestly it was hard not to dig in right away, The food was delicious and the portions were pretty big so it was a lot! I got a small baria and my boyfriend got a medium steakhouse. I barely finished mine and my boyfriend who eats like a pig could only eat half of the medium. It's easy to get to and everyone seemed nice who worked there. The inside was clean and bright as well. Overall I can't wait to try more!
