I had high expectations for this food truck. I got The Bacon Made Me Do It! It's their spiral mac and cheese with bacon crumbles, tomato, and green onion. It was moderately warm with burned bacon and too many onion and scallions. It was a very dry mac and cheese. It defensively could have used more cheese on he noodles!Got the regular fries. They are cooked fresh and comparable to Rally's fries. They have way more flavor than the mac and cheese.I was really disappointed with this experience. A food truck whose focus is Mac and Cheese should have some of the best mac and cheese ever, not just your average dish.

Vegan cheese sauce!!!! Need I say more?As a lover of mac n cheese, but a hater of what lactose does to my body, I often get severely depressed when my friends eat the mac around me. Not now. I have the Mac Shack. I chose The Cheech, a mexican style chorizo mac with jalapenos and cilantro. YUM. I cannot wait to find this food truck again to experience another fine creation! Maybe the 'bacon made me do it' next time!

Ordered a mini "Cluck like a buffalo" and it was absolutely amazing! Chicken was tender & juicy, onions and bleu cheese were not overpowering and of course the mac itself was awesome! It was the perfect amount of cheesy. The mini was perfectly filling and still left a little room for samples as I strolled through the market. I could eat mac and cheese every day for the rest of my life and I wouldn't mind ordering it from the Mac Shack every time! I can't wait to come back and try some of the other creative concoctions.

Mac Shack was at Eastern Market when I ventured downtown with my daughter. We arrived a little later in the day, and was happy to see almost everything on the small menu was still available. We opted for one item so we could try other trucks. We ordered " the bacon made me do it ". It was good. It was Mac n cheese with bacon ( of course ) and tomato, we ordered with bacon only. It wasn't greasy, totally goey, and yummy. It was $7, on par for a food truck.

I've had a few samples of this delicious mac & cheese at various Yelp events and have been in love ever since. Even though it'd been months since I last tasted their mac, my memory never faded.I finally caught Mac Shack at Eastern Market and was so excited, I almost tackled everyone in my way to order. Luckily, they offer half portions for almost half the price... I was completely satisfied with the small for $3.75. Plus, paying $7 for some mac and cheese seems a little ridic when I'm gonna eat it while sitting on a curb.Deliciously creamy, delightfully tangy and amazingly rich mac and cheese. If you see the yellow Mac Shack, do yourself a favor and give them a try. P.s. I'm lactose intolerant and Mac Shack is 100% worth the aftermath.

This is exactly what food truck food should be- easy, fun, and fast without skrimping on flavor! At a recent event with a line up of food trucks, Mac Shack stuck out at me because they had the longest line. Between their apparent popularity and the enticing discription of buffalo mac -n- cheese, I waited my turn. What I got was a heavy and heavenly portion of their buffalo mac-n-cheese. So simple yet so tasty- it was comfort food at its finest. Blu cheese crumbles, green onions, and BBQ chicken bits in thick cheesy noodles. Totally worth the few extra bucks especially compared to the sad, carni food at the booth next to it.

Mac n' cheese have never been one of my favorites, but I had to try Mac Shack when I saw the menu. Not your nomal mac for sure. I had the Papa Smurf (wild mushrooms, nutty parmesan cheese, caramelized onions). It was delightfully tasty. The mushrooms and onions kept the macaroni from being bland. The only downer was that I would have liked the cheese sauce to be a bit creamier. It was not that smooth, creamy consistency that I would expect for macaroni. We also had the garlic paremesan fries which were my favorite. They were crisp and coated well with flavor. The mac n' cheese is a meal in itself and I would try it again with a different mixture. I hope that the cheese consistency gets better, then I could give 5 stars.

We tried the Mac Shack for the first time at the recent rally, truth be told I was a little disappointed. I remember them doing a bit on FOX 2 a few months ago where they made the "Bacon Made Me Do It" on air. So I've been patiently waiting to get the chance to try their food. I love whatever type of pasta they were using - they looked like little berets with tassels on top. The bacon, green onion and tomato topping adds a lot to the dish but the cheese sauce was mostly bechamel and really grainy. Maybe the sauce broke since we got to the rally later in the evening but I was expecting smooth super stringy cheesiness. On the plus side, for $6.50 we did get a heap of mac n' cheese but I would've opted for less food and more cheesiness.My opinion aside, they do have a number of great flavor profiles to choose from like the Cheech with chorizo, and the I-80 with gravy on it and no matter what you order you'll be pretty close to full by the time you finish it all.

Went to the food truck at Detroit Fleet. Ordered a basic Mac for my daughter. After a couple bites the whole bottom was burnt. When I approached the guys working about it they tried to tell me it was just caramelized cheese. No, it's black. If that's you tray customers and are proud of that, fine. Will not be ordering again.

Employees were super nice but the Mac and cheese that we had was completely awful, there was NO flavor, and it was cold.
