    Scream Q.

    This spot slaps. The mac and cheese is insanely good -- creamy, cheesy, crispy on top, and made with actual love. Jose is the MVP. Friendly, fast, and clearly passionate about the food. He recommended the "Goddess" and it changed my life a little. I'll be dreaming about it every day until I come back.

    The Hellapeno with shells, tomatoes, jalapeños, pulled pork

    We have been regulars here for the past year even though it's a 30 min drive from where I live. The quality is excellent and consistent, and the service is great. There are picnic tables for outdoor seating, but the aluminum containers are great at keeping your mac warm if you take it to go. My favorite: Hellapeno with shells, jalapeños, tomatoes, topped with BBQ pulled pork. It's the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. My husband loves the Buffalo with shells and chicken, topped with panko and hot Cheetos. The perfect mix of spicy and spicy. They also have vegan and gluten free options! The portions are huge, so it's enough for two meals.

    While the mac is of course is amazing these are hands down the best Brussels I have ever had! I go the honey sriracha but also want to try the aioli one and have a sneaking suspicion they would be great together Huge portions, wish they did like a sampler option for those of use who have a cheese addition and want to try like a few bites of each. Best part is the staff know how to package for to go. I drove 45 min to come here and they knew I would have the long drive home so they made sure they were piping hot. By the time I got home they were the perfect temp! Also make amazing leftovers it we ate the Brussels in like two minutes flat

    The Basic with chicken, bacon, broccoli, corn, jalapeños
    Denise T.

    MAC'D is serving up some decent mac & cheese in Portland! We ordered via GrubHub - super easy process. You can order the base (i.e., "The Pesto", "The Vegan") and add additional items (i.e., chicken, broccoli, hot cheetos topping). We got the Basic and Goddess. Cooked perfectly. Nicely baked. I do like my food heavily seasoned so I added a little more salt. I like that they included utensils, because I often order from places that don't offer utensils and napkins which can be problematic and messy depending on what is ordered. If you opt to pick up your order, there's a small parking lot in the back. The area always looks a bit empty so hopefully we can continue to support the local eateries there!

    If you're looking for very cheesy mac and cheese, here's your place. The mac and cheese items I ordered were drenched in cheese so that every bite had the nice cheese pull. The items were the Basic ($12.75) and the Goddess ($12.75), which had the choices of customized ingredients such as: bacon, chicken, corn, peas, roasted mushrooms and broccoli, jalapenos, parmesan shavings, and truffle oils. The mac and cheese are served in aluminum pans, which keep them very hot. They use shredded cheese blends that seem to combine sharp and white cheddar to have the distinct cheese taste. There's also some spice blends mixed into the macaroni to give a tasty flavor instead of bland pasta. This location is located an an area with other fast food storefronts and there is a private parking lot behind the building.

    The Goddess with hot Cheetos and green onion
    Emily O.

    I absolutely love this place. I first had MAC'D at their San Francisco location, and when I moved to Portland and saw they had one here, I was stoked. I've been a few times, for to-go and via DoorDash. Every time I've gotten it's been great except this last time. I always get the goddess with hot Cheetos and green onions. When I opened it this last time, there were no green onions and the noodles were so dry it's like they barely put any cheese/sauce on them. Usually it's completely coated in everything. I've also gotten the pesto one, it was great too! I will still be back because I love this place, but it was very disappointing last time!

    We've passed this place plenty of times and have wanted to try it out. The portion size equals out to the price, they are huge! Two bowls is enough for a family of four. The kids loved their basic and love that they can put hot cheeto powder on it! It was delicious! My partner and I couldn't finish our portion even when we shared one bowl. Overall it's a great place for comfort food, and def worth checking out. We'll be back in the future to check out their other dishes

    The Meat Lover
    Scott H.

    This is some seriously good Mac. I will confess that as a parent of a toddler my relationship with Mac and cheese has waned a bit. It's hard to find something that the kid will eat but actually has flavor. My southern go to is too sharp so I actually had kind of given up the hunt. This Mac is just about perfect. I got the meat lovers. My only complaint is the medium of serving. If this was a sit down restaurant I'd get this every time. However as take out it gets a little tricky to eat. The short rib is tender but not really so much so that you can mash it with a fork somewhat uniformly. The pulled pork was amazing and my only regret was not rationing it out so I could have some With every bite. My wife got the goddess and was making all sorts of yum noises. She added mushrooms and peas. Props for the free veggie adds. The kid was a fan of the basic. Cheesy and creamy. Interesting but not too sharp. Did I also mention that if you tried to eat a whole order, unless your agenda included a large amount of napping, you'd be in a bad way. I like it. The Brussels were really good too and survived a trip. Perfect combo with the honey sriracha sauce. I'm sure the fries were good at some time but they didn't make the trip. We'll be back. Hopefully the kid will crave Mac soon.

    Basic Mac and cheese
    Erika A.

    Was in Portland for some shopping and fun. My son has a Mac and cheese fetish so I was looking for the best Mac and cheese options Portland had to offer. We ended up making a stop at a food truck that was closed. I got on Yelp and found this place and saw the reviews. Based off of the reviews and the pictures I was sure this was going to be the best Mac and cheese we ever had from a food establishment. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. As for customer service, they are very kind and helpful with taking your order. We ordered the basic Mac and cheese. It came out hot and ready! And looked so delicious! Literally could not wait to try it!! The truth is that it's okay, I believe with more salt and garlic that this would probably be some of the best street Mac and cheese! It is definitely cheesy!! But cheesy doesn't mean good. It just means cheesy. We added salt to ours and it helped a bit. I would recommend this place for someone who is on a restricted sodium intake because it is still good quality. Just a little low on the seasonings.

    Ask the Community - MAC’D

    Does this place have indoor dining?

    No, just outdoor covered tables that are shared with the other window restaurants here

    Is there flour or starchy thickening agent in the sauce? Wondering if this is keto-friendly or not.

    There probably is a thickening agent in the sauce, though I don't know for sure. But I don't think macaroni or pasta in general is keto friendly, but I could be wrong there.

    Any Gluten Free options?

    Yes, they have cauliflower instead of noodles.

    My husband is always craving a steak for his birthday and I've heard never-ending, amazing things…read moreabout Laurelhurst Market, so we made a reservation to celebrate. We got seated right away, the hostess was friendly and mentioned the birthday listed on the reservation. To start, we ordered two cocktails, the beef tartare, and the shishitos peppers. The beef tartare was incredibly fresh and flavorful and the mustard vinaigrette was the perfect touch. The blistered shishitos were good, however, they were underwhelming compared to everything else and we probably wouldn't order them again. For our entree, we shared the Brandt Ranch Ribeye which was phenomenal - definitely one of our top 5 steaks we've ever had. We prefer medium rare and it was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crème fraiche to not overpower the flavor of the steak. Plus, the bacon vinaigrette went very well with the entire meal. We were incredibly impressed with the meal and the atmosphere, and we'd join again for sure. The area in which our experience lacked was the service, which was disappointing and didn't make us feel great ordering anything else. After we got our appetizers, and then entree, we were not checked on once and I had to wave down our server for another round of drinks. At the same time, he was supposed to get us a water refill which we never ended up getting. Our server didn't mention anything in regards to a birthday, never asked how our cocktails or food was, checked on every table around us (besides us) and we didn't even get a thank you as we passed him heading out the door. Because I've consistently heard amazing things about Laurelhurst, I'll take this as a fluke because I definitely believe in second chances, especially when the food was that good, but I hope the next server we get is more attentive and friendly. Neither of us would expect a birthday beverage or dessert, but after dining at several places where they offer a glass of champagne, a small dessert, etc. it definitely stands out when an establishment like this doesn't offer or acknowledge a celebration. Till next time - Cheers

It was a great place to slow down, enjoy good food, and spend time together. The smoked brisket hash was the standout. It came with tender brisket, eggs, breakfast potatoes, peppers, onions, and vegetables. The flavors worked really well together. It was hearty, flavorful, and had something different in almost every bite. We also tried the burger and fries. They were simple, solid, and satisfying. The fries had a nice crisp, and the burger was a good choice for a classic brunch or lunch option. I also really appreciated the non-alcoholic drink selection. A lot of places treat zero-proof drinks like an afterthought, but here they actually had fun options. The Phony Espresso Negroni was a great non-alcoholic cocktail and made the meal feel special without needing alcohol. Overall, this was a very enjoyable brunch with good food, friendly service, a relaxed patio, and enough variety on the menu that I would happily come back again.
