Mac Shack

Late night mac and cheese, to go! Waited a very long time, but I was able to indulge in some *interesting* people watching between the wee hours of 0130-0200 in the morning, so that's always a win. The food itself really wasn't that great- had the buffalo chicken mac (super blah and didn't have that spice or heat) and the Brady street mac which wasn't much better. However, it is open late, and we appreciate that.

This seemed like it would be a better place for take-out, rather than dine-in, but we were there and sat down. I like the menu options. I decided on Tuscan Chicken Mac and enjoyed it very much. Both of the other people I was having dinner with got the Meatball Mac which they too enjoyed, but one was served in a to-go bag. In fact all of the plates are served in the same foil platter but if you dine-in it comes sitting in a hot pan. They don't have silverware, everyone gets the plasticware whether you stay or go. Seeing how there were a few delivery drivers waiting, others would agree it is a got to-go spot. Watching them cook from the table, I can say that everyones food is made to order and not prepackaged so, it is fresh.

If you love mac-and-cheese, this will satisfy your craving with a twist. Their prices are a little higher than expected, so we purchased the "mac flight" option-- 3 for $19.99. If you consider this option, select to dine-in, as the portion will be better than the to-go ones. Prep and cook times did take a while and we were the only ones there. If you love chili cheese fries, theirs are delicious-- not your usual chili!

This place was "okay". Lacked flavor. The pictures that I posted- don't be fooled, there is really no flavor..just a nice presentation. Not in a rush to be back. Staff was nice.I ordered boneless wings and all I can say is, they were very hard not crunchy just hard.

I had the OG mac and cheese. I'll admit. I'm basic and grew up on Kraft Mac N Cheese. I didn't want a bunch of extra stuff in it. It was. . .decent. You can taste the wood fire in it but it was, despite all the cheese, a little bland. It was weirdly oily and kind of dry at the same time. I hit it with sriracha and that definitely elevated it.Other types my table tried were the Greek Freak and the Tuscan. Everyone raved about that one so maybe those extra ingredients are what's needed in order to get the whole fancy macaroni and cheese experience.The staff were super nice and accommodating. The restaurant itself was clean but the restroom was a little on the not-so-fresh side. It's a gender neutral restroom which is always a super cool thing to see.I plan on going back. I want to try the jalapeno cornbread and some of the flat breads. Not gonna lie, though, it adds up quick and with a group of three or so it can easily turn into an $80 experience and I still have a little trouble reconciling that with the fact that it's mac and cheese.

Got two chopped salads with NO RANCH DRESSING!!! Thanks. Have a nice night!!! I enjoyed my $12 salad with NO DRESSING. Dumbass

It has been a running joke between my husband and I that this restaurant would never open. We lived in the building for 3 years and in that time they were always under construction so we really didn't know if it was going to work out. We moved out recently and it seemed like right when we left, they finally opened! Of course, now we HAD to go check it out. We came in today during their grand opening and I have to say I was really impressed. The atmosphere was really nice, the artwork/decor on the walls were inviting, and I liked that we have a view into the kitchen. I ordered the Tuscan Chicken Mac and my husband got the Buffalo Chicken Mac. We also shared an order of the Mac-Ting which was essentially their take on poutine. My first impression of the mac was that the portions were huge! Definitely would have been able to share one order with someone else. Their prices do reflect their portion sizes, so while I felt like it was a little pricey I do feel like you are getting plenty of food for it. I really enjoyed the mac though. Both mine and my husbands were delicious! The wood oven leaves the tops bubbling and crispy while the mac underneath is super creamy and decadent. The Mac-ting was pretty good too! Next time, I definitely want to try the meatball mac or just the normal mac. I also think it's really great that they have vegan options and have their own house made vegan cheese sauce. Definitely something that I will want to try in the future. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at mac shack today! The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. I recommend coming when you're good and hungry because you will have plenty to eat! I hope mac shack gets plenty of business now that it's open because I think it's a really great addition to the Brady street food scene.

Finally open! I have been waiting for quite some time and I was not disappointed. I consider myself a Mac head, like a crack head but for Mac. I ordered a 3 LIL COWS to try more flavors, I did get it to go but it didn't seem to impart the dishes.The three pastas I tried were, Tuscan Mac, Meatball Mac, and the Greek Freak. Tuscan was my favorite, the meatball was very creamy and the Greek was a little rich for my liking. Definitely enough food for 2-3 people.Overall great atmosphere and great food. I look forward to seeing how they grow in the coming years.

Delicious man n cheese in so many varieties! Including vegan and gluten-free. I'm here on business and ate here two days in a row. The staff is also super friendly and helpful.

Ordered Mac Shack on Uber eats tonight and we were utterly disappointed. I got the vegan Buffalo Mac and my girlfriend got the Tuscan. The noodles were dry and cold by the time they arrived (and they were early according to the app). The Buffalo cauli in my Mac was soggy and fell apart on the fork. Overall the food had no flavor. It actually made my girlfriend nauseous. Would not reccommend
