    We were craving mac n cheese and came back to try some of their other flavors. This time we ordered the Kogi Short Rib Mac and the Garlicky Bacon Mac. Both were delicious. The kogi short rib mac had a sweet flavor from the kogi bbq sauce, along with Gouda, pecorino, scallions, garlic butter, and sriracha. If you like a little kick of heat, this is your go-to. The garlicky bacon mac came with lots of bacon, garlic gouda, and pecorino. It tasted cheesier compared to the short rib mac. If you are a bacon lover, this is your go-to.

    I dined here a few weeks ago with my boyfriend and sat at the bar. It was very quiet inside so we received extra great service. We shared an order of brussel sprouts, the French onion Mac n cheese, and the chicken pot pie Mac n cheese. I thought it was weird that the chicken pot pie had no chicken in it - we search and there was none! In the future, I'd order something else and prioritize adding some type of protein. Otherwise, the food was yummy - large portions also meant that we had leftovers so that's also a win in my books.

    Homeroom feels like a cozy blanket right out of the dryer on a cold blustery day. I love this place. Everyone who works here is so sweet and kind and the food is creatively comforting and delicious. Every single thing I've tried I've loved. I love Brittny & Kacey and the level of service they offer every customer. It's so refreshing to be served by super sweet people who care about the type of experience you're having at their establishment. If you get a chance come to Homeroom and indulge on some oooey gooey goodness.

    Homeroom always serves up the ultimate comfort food for every occasion! I frequent Homeroom for takeout, yet I never get bored because they have such a wide variety of flavors to try from. When I'm feeling something simple but aromatic, I go for the Gilroy Garlic. When I'm wanting something a little more refreshing, the Elote Mac or the Garden Pesto Mac hit the spot. And sometimes, when I really just need something to warm my tummy and my soul, the Kogi Mac is what I reach for. Also, how could I forget? The sides! If you're not quite in to Mac and cheese, at least come try their Bacon Brussels & Buttery Garlic Green Beans! The Brussels can also be ordered without bacon. I am definitely guilty of just getting an order of Brussels sprouts and taking it home to eat with a hot bowl of rice. Since it's such a crowd pleaser, you could even bring it to a potluck! I have yet to dine in at the Berkeley location. But I've waited in the lobby for my takeout. It's spacious, modern, and sleek. There's also a play area for the little ones! Perfect spot for a family dinner. I do also want to mention the Vegan Mac! Even though I don't have a picture of it, I still think about it often. When Trader Joe's doesn't have their butternut Mac and cheese in season, the Vegan Mac here is a great dupe! Smooth and creamy without the dairy.

    Yes, Homeroom is in Berkeley, now too. Parents who wait for their kids get out of a concert @ 924 Gilman, treat yourselves here ^_^. I walked in 30 minutes before the restaurant closed and the service was outstanding. Thanks, I'll be back to order macs ;)

    Their Oakland location was pretty memorable for me when I used to go there many years ago. Pretty happy to see they opened another location in Berkeley that's a lot easier to park at. Hawaiian Mac (5/5) - Added some breadcrumbs and it was still as delicious as I remember. That blend of pineapple and bacon hits the spot. Elote Bowl (3.5/5) - Was ok but wouldn't order again. If you are a fan of restaurant mac and cheese, I would definitely recommend.

    Love Mac n Cheese? Love Melted burgers and sandwiches? Then get here now! A ton of specialty mac n cheeses are on the menu along with burgers and beers. Wine is available too. We ordered the Gilroy Garlic mac n Cheese which is AMAZING!! The service here is friendly and they were patient with my questions. Great space here. Great local feel feel and nearby Gilman Brewery and Philz. We're definitely returning!

    Was stuck at an appointment in waiting room. Had delivery of my favorite flavor Mac. It was amazing and I was grateful for a good meal while waiting.

    First time here! I have heard Homeroom had really good mac n cheese and my friend finally introduced it to me. We got the flight deal - 3 small mac and cheeses with select flavors you can choose from. We got 1. Elote mac n cheese (my personal favorite!) 2. Truffle mac n cheese (comes with the breadcrumbs on the top) 3. Garlic mac n cheese with added bacon This is great - price wise ,and if you don't want eat the same big bowl of mac and cheese because you get variety! Also one of the waiters were kind enough to offer us a free strawberry lemonade!

    I was contacted by the manager at Homeroom after leaving my initial review just a day ago, and she attempted to make up for the not-so-positive experience I recently had. I didn't need any apology or freebies, to give the business another chance, but the effort alone showed me that they really care about their customers and resolving problems, and hold a high standard for their business, vowing to improve both the service and the product. So I thought it was only fair that I update my review. That kind of effort and dedication deserves 5 stars.

    Gather nails the farm-to-table concept and was very highly recommended by my vegetarian friends. We…read morecame here after class one day; even with our last-minute planning, we were able to secure a table for the six of us that evening. We shared a plate of the tossed green salad and crispy Brussels sprouts, in addition to two pizzas - Fun-Gi and the Spicy Tomato. The crispy Brussels sprouts stole the show - the deep-frying created a smoky flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture that was equally loved by vegetarians and non-vegetarians in the group. The tossed salad was decent; the lettuce was heavily coated with oily dressing, which I think could have used more acidity. The Fun-Gi pizza was our favorite of the two pies - the hint of truffle oil and rosemary took this mushroom pizza to the next level. I also loved the light and airy crust, which had the perfect amount of crispiness. I wasn't as much of a fan of the Spicy Tomato pizza; while I really liked the unexpected sweetness from the tapenade, the cashew cream drizzle seemed out-of-place. The ambiance of the restaurant was whimsical and warm, providing the perfect backdrop for my friends to linger over our meal. The outdoor seating also looked very charming, and I imagine it would be nice to dine here on a warm, summer evening.

The food in this place was good but the service was so bad at some point I felt like it was a torture. The place was kind of empty not too many table were full but the waiter just would be gone for long and wouldn't come ask if we needed anything. The wait between meals like appetizer and main course was so long not because of kitchen but the server was just gone for long at a stretch. I had to ask him to come and same with after our meal was finished he never came to ask if we needed dessert, The waiter on other table saw us a few times and he finally came and gave us a menu. I really wanted to try a dessert but was scared this will again take us another hour to even get the server to come and get our order. On top of really slow service there was an older man who sat in the table next to us and kept talking to us looking at our food. He literally was asking me if you support trump do you like him. He kept telling us how he knew the owner and his wife and has come to this place for 100 times over years and everything is free for him here. This was all ok but I wasn't sure why he wasn't letting us eat our meal in peace. At some point he became a little racist as well, when we tried to take our food goto he told us i won't take this goto. I never take this goto. And then was like ohh you are from India and it felt so uncomfortable. He was like do you watch fox, I watch fox. Then was like I have cable, I don't try to save money. Do you have cable.. omg never ending interrogation and also kept looking at our food and table and what we were eating and kept commenting on that. I understand this restaurant might have some old and familiar guest or important people come to this place but they should understand other guest should still be able to enjoy there meal without being bothered by the people who are known. It was one of my worse restaurant experiences, the service and on top of this man who somehow is VIP guest at this place made it so hard for us to have our date night meal in peace. I literally tried to run away from this place. This was almost 2 hrs long ordeal. We came a little before 6 and left at 8 and I never eat for that long. I'll NEVER go to this place again even though I loved the food.
