    Cappuccino and chocolate chip cookies
    Jamie A.

    Nice quaint little spot in Bed-Stuy recommended by my wife. I saw a nice amount of folks coming in and ordering food so that's a good sign right there and for me to try next visit. Service was pretty quick being I had something simple but heard the actual meals take a little time, freshly made. I had their cappuccino and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. Both were delicious. Place is pretty small so getting your food to go is the best way. Unless you're just sipping coffee and a tasty treat, the counter has stools and there's one small table with a chair and bench. Staff are real cool and helpful, and the place is nice and clean. Prices moderate and worth it.

    Shrimp Mac and cheese

    I'm on the fence . Second time here but the food isn't hitting like the first time and you can clearly see that it's two different chefs that made my food

    Told ya this place is down to earth

    WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Worth a trip from anywhere just to check out their Cremini ‍ Mushroom Mac & Cheese ! Like wow, if a fancy French restaurant served this dish, THIS is how they'd do it. This isn't some guilty pleasure oozing with cheap cheese, this is an adorably small beautifully lit corner spot that warms n charms you! This place is for sure a hidden gem. It's rated the 57th most popular place in the area but it deserves to be among the top 5 for certain! Seating is at an L-shaped counter, the lovely man in the kitchen knew I was a fan when I ordered a second Mushroom Mac & Cheese (who was I fooling thinking that the tiny "value" size would satisfy me! HA!) They also sell a variety of Vegan items, their VEGAN MAC & CHEESE is rumored to be the best in NYC but the day I visited, they were out of VEGAN cheese, I guess. ‍ They offer breakfast sandwiches that sound great and wings that are supposedly big, with a gourmet glaze and out of this world. They also have fresh-baked cookies muffins and a super-serious looking coffee machine and yes, they have oat milk (unfortunately with an up charge, I don't like that part). This place should have a line around the block! The kitchen here knows what quality is all about and given the large Caribbean community in this area, it's no surprise that their "Jerk Seasoned Mac & Cheese" is the most popular item ordered. So, don't be a Jerk and try this place! If you can connect to the MTA B46 bus, it's a short walk from there and a bit of a longer walk from the nearby A/C subway line to UTICA AVENUE. Bundle up and make this your secret hideaway... "Baby, it's cold outside..." PS Check out the vibrantly bright paintings that adorn the walls, done by Artist Ladie O! This place is a perfect little charmer and a sweet as sugar heart warmer!!!

    mango ginger lemonade is necessary
    Emina S.

    yeeeeesssss! quick pick up (only waited 10 mins) -- the Small size is easily enough for 2 meals. so glad the woman over the phone (who was super helpful and nice) recommended the mango ginger lemonade because it was sweet but refreshing af and not overpowered by ginger. ordered the jerk mac and cheese! loved the spices and crispy cheese top. they have a lot of options to choose from + they open early with various coffees / smoothies / breakfast items on the menu. You can easily order online and they have various specials and events posted outside the door and on their Instagram (@macshacknyc) will be back another style + to try the strawberry lemonade

    Burger Mac

    Went in to pick up, didn't wait too long and got a generous portion. Was a little light on the meat inside but was still delicious. If you have to pick up a last-minute addition to a potluck you're attending, this would be a great place to grab some sides for everyone that are sure to be a hit!

    Wings
    Laura W.

    The food was so good but be warned, the wait took absolutely forever and there's very limited seating inside (I waited 50 minutes for my food). I'd recommend ordering over the phone or through an app and then go to pick it up. Food 9/10 Price 7/10 (expensive) Customer service 8/10 Wait time 4/10 I'll be back but definitely calling ahead to place my order next time!

    4 Classic Mac Balls

    First time trying Mac shack and the staff were very friendly and helpful! I had the Mac balls and the lobster Mac and both dishes had great flavor! There was a wide variety of options and I will definitely be back!

    Strawberry Lemonade
    Lisa B.

    They food is banging & they customer service is good and I would definitely go back and order another Macaroni & Cheese & Crab meat dinner

The burger was fresh, juicy, and not greasy at all just really well made. The tater tots were crispy and delicious without feeling oily, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere was just as good as the food comfy, relaxed, and full of a really nice vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your time. On top of that, the service was amazing. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd go back to!

And I gotta say, the bartender is doing work. He's the only one working and the whole place is filled up and he manages it very well. They have food and drinks, mocktails included. I love it here. It's very cozy and homey. But just remember to be courteous, that this is a business so it's okay to do work here but if you're gonna be chilling for a while make sure you're getting some drinks every hour or tipping the 'tender. Also careful with some of the hot drinks they can be really.... hot. I burnt the roof of my tongue on my hot cider drink.

    Got brunch here on a Sunday with a friend. We split the Hot Honey Gem Salad and Hottokeki (Japanese…read moresoufflé pancake). The pancake is gigantic and is absolutely meant to be shared. It was really fluffy and smelled soooo good (reminiscent of the HK street cart waffles). But because it's so big, by the time we ate half of it, we were getting a little tired of the same taste. The salad was good but nothing to rave about. For drinks, we tried the Lebowski-San and Kettl Hojicha Kombucha. It was my first time trying a clarified cocktail and it was really unique. I thought there would be more ice cream honestly but I still loved it. The kombucha though was shockingly tasty. I loved it so much that I bought a bottle online once I got home (they're from Kettl, a local distillery in Brooklyn). The venue is really spacious and I actually planned a wedding here in the past. They host a lot of events and there was even a birthday party happening when I ate there. The only downside is the location. The only train that goes there is the G so it's a bit hard to get to. Food: Hot Honey Gem Salad (radish, buckwheat, fennel, yuzu vinaigrette) 9/10 Hottokeki / Japanese Soufflé Pancake (fluffy hotcake, honey maple butter, sesame) 9/10 Add Mini White Sesame Soft Serve (soy milk, sesame oil) 10/10 - I would recommend just getting this on its own instead of the Hottokeki if you're craving just a little dessert. Drinks: Lebowski-San (green tea shochu, pisco, sakura leaf, clarified matcha ice cream, cold brew coffee floater) 9/10 - This is a clarified cocktail which I didn't expect. I thought I was ordering a matcha ice cream-like drink so although the drink was good, all the ingredients are very subtle in flavor. Kettl x Unified Ferments 'Hojicha' Kombucha (jou yanagi hojicha) 10/10 - This is an absolute must-try!

Last I was here was for brunch and we sat in the outdoor patio area. We got a two things to share and a main each. Shared plates were the soufflé pancake and silken tofu. Both were a miss for me. The pancake had a baking soda aftertaste and also they brought it out right away instead of after we finished our mains so it sat around in the table for a while until we were ready to eat it. Silken tofu had a mediocre flavor palette. There was no variation in texture either, just one plate of mushy items. We didn't finish either one of those. For a main, I ordered a a Wagyu beef bowl. It was really good but on the smaller side. The service was attentive aside from a spillage when the order came. Then they started placing plates on top of the spill instead of wiping the table. Eventually they cleaned it but overall there was lack of training in this case. I am not dying to come back here but would consider if I'm in the area again. I really like the actual space but food/service can improve.
