    This is exactly what food truck food should be- easy, fun, and fast without skrimping on flavor! At a recent event with a line up of food trucks, Mac Shack stuck out at me because they had the longest line. Between their apparent popularity and the enticing discription of buffalo mac -n- cheese, I waited my turn. What I got was a heavy and heavenly portion of their buffalo mac-n-cheese. So simple yet so tasty- it was comfort food at its finest. Blu cheese crumbles, green onions, and BBQ chicken bits in thick cheesy noodles. Totally worth the few extra bucks especially compared to the sad, carni food at the booth next to it.

    Cluck Like a Buffalo! YUM!

    Ordered a mini "Cluck like a buffalo" and it was absolutely amazing! Chicken was tender & juicy, onions and bleu cheese were not overpowering and of course the mac itself was awesome! It was the perfect amount of cheesy. The mini was perfectly filling and still left a little room for samples as I strolled through the market. I could eat mac and cheese every day for the rest of my life and I wouldn't mind ordering it from the Mac Shack every time! I can't wait to come back and try some of the other creative concoctions.

    Papa Smurf (caramelized mushrooms, onions, Parmesan cheese): I tried this during the past weekend at the Mo Pop music festival. This was good. The noodles were cooked well and the cheese sauce was rich and creamy, making a good base. The sauce felt slightly grainy(?) to me though, like it wasn't completely smooth. The caramelized onions were my favorite, as they added a hint of sweetness. The mushrooms were also nice, although not too flavorful. There was Sriracha, which I added for a spicy kick. Overall, I enjoyed my mac & cheese, and I would consider getting this again if I was in the area. However, the price was rather high... It was $9 for a cup, which was a good portion, but left me feeling a bit hungry afterwards. I know everything is expensive at festivals, but I felt like this wasn't the best value.

    Mac Shack was at Eastern Market when I ventured downtown with my daughter. We arrived a little later in the day, and was happy to see almost everything on the small menu was still available. We opted for one item so we could try other trucks. We ordered " the bacon made me do it ". It was good. It was Mac n cheese with bacon ( of course ) and tomato, we ordered with bacon only. It wasn't greasy, totally goey, and yummy. It was $7, on par for a food truck.

    Ever since I was little, I've LOVED mac & cheese. And Mac Shack does it great. I first sampled them at the Yelp After School Special event, where I got a small cup full of their plan mac, & added some crumbled bacon on top. Mmmmm...so smooth, creamy, and delicious. And the bacon was true chunks of thick, crumbled bacon - no baco-bits here! I was in love. I made it a point to catch them about a week later, when they were parked in Midtown at Great Lakes Coffee, accompanying their "Tacos and Tequila" night with some spicy, mexican inspired mac. I don't recall the name of what I ordered, but it had shredded chicken, jalapeno, tomato and onion. It packed a kick of spice and was DELICIOUS! It's pricey for what you get, portion wise. And as a mobile truck, you obviously can't find them in the same spot all the time. But, I look forward to the next time I have a few extra bucks for lunch and happen upon this glorious rolling haven of cheesy noodle goodness - I'll be a happy girl!

    Went to the food truck at Detroit Fleet. Ordered a basic Mac for my daughter. After a couple bites the whole bottom was burnt. When I approached the guys working about it they tried to tell me it was just caramelized cheese. No, it's black. If that's you tray customers and are proud of that, fine. Will not be ordering again.

    Mac and cheese is okay, the fries are my favorite though. Haven't seen them on WSU's campus in a while but life goes on

    Saw them at the food truck rally. The food was okay nothing special. And definitely not worth the price and wait.

    We booked them for a large event several months before and had contracts in place and they never showed up. Poor customer service
