Mac's Wood Grilled

I was in town visiting folks and friends for the weekend and ended up here yesterday afternoon. Katie and Chelsea were here, both super friendly, helpful, and professional. Makes it easy to be here and relax before flying back home (Chicago was home for me for 20+ years until March 2020...then I left for suburbia and ahome where I got more bang for my buck. I miss it here. Today I had a "lighter" lunch, meaning size, not caloric heh heh. I ordered the tomato soup, which came with garlic bread. It is basically a thick slice of Pullman bread that has shaved garlic that is very noticeable when the dish comes out. The soup was tasty, piping hot and I did eat only a little of the garlic bread because of my flight home and not wanting to get murdered by my seat neighbor for stinky breath. I LOVE garlic so I'll be back for this dish next time I'm in town and have time to clean up my breath after eating. So the reason I skipped most of the bread was because I saw that they had a sausage pizza puff on the menu. This was one of my guilty pleasures when I lived here. It's not a healthy item by any means, usually it's deep fried but I think this one was baked- wasn't super greasy (if it was deep fried then the chef crushed it and let it sit so the excess oil would drain....but I SWEAR in my mind this was not deep fried)It wasn't busy because there was no football on this weekend, and it was quiet enough to be able to talk with the friendly team working here. A really enjoyable time!Support small owned businesses! Thank you Katie and Chelsea for an awesome quick stop before my flight home yesterday. I already miss the people and the food. Down here in the south, guilty pleasure foods just hit different. I'd have taken photos but I destroyed the dishes so quickly so I am sorry. The next visit I will get the same items, or a burger (they're amazing here!) and post the pics.

Food is always quality and fast, prices are fair ($5 vodka mules are great). Staff is very friendly. this has become our regular spot

Randomly stumbled upon this bar while looking for a bite to eat! What a treat! At first I was skeptical because it looks like a little run down hole in the wall, but those end up usually being the best spots! My steak sandwich was top notch!! The bacon cheese fries were cold and could have used more cheese sauce, but I love me some skinny fries and we ate all of them! The Mac and cheese was great also! The girl and guy who took care of us were great! Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to return for that sandwich!

I would normally give Mac's a 3 star overall, but given their propensity for better than your average tap handle choices, they warrant a one star upgrade. You like sports, gathering, hanging with your peeps? Perfect place to do so. Chill, unassuming, and honestly...one of the better $5 bloodies I have had. You go Mac!

Our bartender jaclyn was so nice. We stopped in on a ufc fight night not knowing. No cover and lots of tvs. She fit us in the crowded bar. The burgers were so good. The chipotle mayo amazing. Will be back for sure for football season!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and ordered a couple of pitchers to share. Although I did not order any food, the service was great! The servers checked up on our table and were very attentive, personable, and quick.

Pretty terrible experience all around.Sat inside on a day where they had Pro Wrestling on all the TVs and people were yelling and screaming... so we went outside where the service staff was kind but not very attentive- I had to ask for napkins and things because no one came to check on us for very long stretches of time.As far as the food, it was BAD. Pretzel was well cooked, but the mustard was clearly just store- bought brown mustard and the cheese was gross cheap-ass cheese food sauce. I got a smash burger which was way over cooked and dressed like a high school cafeteria. My date got the Mac and cheese and even that had cheap-tasting cheese sauce that was just bad too. I hate leaving bad reviews but I don't have anything good to say about this place.

Amazing food!!! We met Alex, the cook, and I can't say enough epic things about the food.Hands down the best Mac and Cheese I've ever had (homemade cheese sauce), chicken tenders in point, and just a solid/delicious/hearty burger.Bloody Mary was great as well and great service. We will be back!

Visited Mac's for the first time today. - Service is great. Multiple bartenders checked on us throughout our visit and drinks were refilled quickly:- Basic drink selection but pours were generous and the ginger beer was delicious.- I ordered the fire burger and unfortunately it was way too spicy for me. I'm Mexican and love habanero and jalapeño peppers but for whatever reason, my mouth was on fire and I couldn't eat it. Was my own fault for choosing the "fire" burger so I didn't return it, but I'm sure they would have been nice about it. Fries were just OK. - my fiancé had the bacon & eggs burger and said it was great.

Decent chicken tenders and solid beer list. Staff if very stingy on changing TVs. They have an impressive display of TVs, but it's always an issue to change the channel to be able to root for your favorite team. If you're lucky, they'll change the TV on the other side of the bar so you can barely see. Even on week nights when the bar is half full. Very annoying.
