The MacShak opened recently in Olean serving up a variety of made to order mac & cheese dishes. You…read morecan choose your own ingredients including the pasta, cheeses, veggies and meats. They also serve Texas toast sandwiches, wraps, cookies, and Pepsi products.
Some of the signature macaroni & cheese dishes offered here include the Basic, The Meat Mac, Chicken Alfredo, Shrimp Alfredo, Chicken Parm, Cheeseburger Mac, Taco Mac, Mushroom & Swiss, The Cheeseteak, The Flaming Pig, Ham & Cheese, and The Olean.
This casual restaurant is an open concept, where you order at the counter and can watch your food being prepared to order from behind the glass in the open kitchen. There are a few tables for eating in a small belt oven near the register.
For takeout, I ordered The Basic ($9.99 plus tax) which was made with elbow macaroni, cheddar sauce, added veggies (no extra charge) including broccoli, spinach & tomatoes, and topped with cheddar, mozzarella and bread crumbs.
Oh gosh, this mac & cheese dish I ordered was enough for 2-3 people, very rich and filling. It took me two days to finish this Basic Mac. I would stop by again if I was back in Olean.
