Went to a retirement luncheon and this was my first time here. The food is on point and a good variety. Service style is walk up to the counter and tell the server what you want. They will fresh make your sandwich, bowl or meal. Continue down the line to access cornbread and other items. Pay register is at the end of the line. Portions were great and tasty. read more

The chopped brisket sandwich meat east sooo dry and thin shreds. They were hard. Bun was hard. I ordered peach cobbler and they gave me apple. The employees were rude on top of all this! I won't be going back or recommend to anyone. read more

This place was recommended to us by a friend. What a mistake. We ordered the bowls with brisket, turkey and chicken. They charge by the pound for their meals. So, a meal for two wasn't cheap. But we hoped it would be good. What we received, besides horrible service, was fat. Three fourths of the brisket was fat. Not fatty, fat. And we paid for that. The chicken was rubbery which was odd since we were there early and the only ones in line. The staff was very rude. The sides had a film on top as if they had been sitting a long time. We asked for fries and the manager yelled that there weren't any fries. Odd since in minutes we saw fries coming out of the kitchen. She made one of us have Fritos instead until we insisted on fries. The ice machine was empty, the soda was flat. We saw them correcting this without us asking minutes later. So, they knew. And they didn't care at all about us, their customers. No one said anything to us. Even when the burger and FRIES we ordered to go finally came out. The woman ignored us waving to her to let her know where we were and set our food on a common area counter top, with other customers reaching over our food for soups and other things. I had to get up and to get it. Won't go back. We both got very ill about a half hour after eating there. Disgusting food, horrible service. They cannot be the original owners. They just don't seem to care. read more

I went today (7/30/2024) to this so called BBQ joint for a retirement luncheon and it was the WORST sliced brisket I've ever tasted. The brisket was tough and super dry, not even the gross tasting sauce they have helped it. Save your money & go elsewhere. read more

Must say, any BBQ place that you get to specify how much you want is my favorite. I love to try a little bit of a lot of things so places that you can order by the weight are a perfect way to try it all. You order at the beginning of the line, get your tray to order sides and then pay. Building is cute indoor/outdoor rustic style. Big parking lot across the street. Outdoor area had picnic tables and a small play ground for the kiddos. It was busy at lunch but I was still in/out fast. I also ordered 2 togo meals which were also excellent according to the coworkers. Would recommend for some great BBQ in a true Texas atmosphere. read more

Good food and live music often. Good atmosphere, but the to go order staff definitely could use some help. I have ordered there 3 times and all 3 were wrong or the phone person didn't know the menu, etc. Very friendly when I get there and again the food is great. All meats are great and the sides are good too with different spins on things like creamed corn...they added jalapeño. Never had it dried out either and that's one of my mine factors with BBQ. read more

Mac's should stand for Might Act Condescending. The service was absolutely horrible. I mean bad. Think bad, then think worse than that, and that was our experience. The individual who took our order was rude, short with us, and unhelpful. We were the first customers of the day so there was no long lines to shorten their fuse. It's like "wow you guys START your day with this demeanor?" The second star is only because the food was good. I would NOT recommend this place to friends. read more

WOW!!! That's all that needs to be said! However, since Yelp is saying that's to short of a review I'm gonna have to talk about how juicy the brisket and turkey was (I ordered the brisket sliced but it is also available as chopped). Imagine, for a second, an outer crust with a rich smokey flavor. Tastes good don't it? Well the brisket here at Mac's is that, TIMES 10!!! Do yourself a favor, stop reading this post and get your behind out to Mac's, like now!!! read more

When you order 16.3 ounces of LEAN sliced brisket and this is what you get!!! ‍I can not believe I paid $18 a pound for over 4.5 ounces of fat......$5 worth of uneaten fat. I tell people about Mac's all the time and this time what a huge let down. Also my scale is zeroed out which I can't say for their scale as it was .04 before she added any meat. read more

Warning- this is an open restaurant with flies and bees. Since it was mid-afternoon, I guess that limited the menu choices to beef brisket sandwich or tacos. Only chips for sides too. The taste of brisket was good with a little heat, but barely warm. Good size sandwich. Waitress was nice and apologetic. Must be better at night. read more

Mac's BBQ & Catering - Barely warm brisket sandwich, but good flavor - Barbeque Near Me - Midland, Texas

I'm a BBQ snob so don't take my 4-star rating as a knock. Mac's is great, and would prob get 5-stars if I hadn't had been to Franklin's or SaltLick. The sliced brisket is tender, not overly smoke-laden with a dark, rich char on the fat cap. Somewhat fatty but better than dry, and nothing you can't trim off before you eat it. Chopped Brisket sandwich was big and good. It's pre-sauced, which I typically don't like, but Mac's is good! Pulled Pork is great. I recommend it. Potato salad was a bit different - almost a tasteless, peachy-colored mound of whipped taters - not a fan but others may appreciate it. Fresh-cut fries were killer, as well as the Green Chile Mac N Cheese. Two !! The environment at Mac's is energetic and open concept. You order in the older building to the east and find an open picnic table outdoors or in the open-door warehouse bar area where bigscreen tvs and horseshoe bar serve as entertainment. Great, fun place and really good bbq. read more

Pretty good brisket with good bark. Open air dining room, but even with an ambient of 97 F like today, it's fairly pleasant inside. read more

Our company had lunch catered by them. They arrived a little late, but it was not a big deal. I love their hot spicy sausage it had cheddar and jalapenos in it. Brisket was good and I liked their bbq sauce. Their brownies were yummy. Not bad for bbq, but I can imagine they are pretty pricey. read more

Sad Cinco De Mayo celebration. They had $3 margaritas specials. We ordered one but on the rocks. Nothing stated it had to be "frozen". We get charged $5 AND..... a $4 alcohol surcharge. Wtf? Not to mention their service sucked. read more

Mac's BBQ & Catering - A $4 Montezuma House Single surcharge. Redick! - Barbeque Near Me - Midland, Texas

Wes Webb with Mac's catered an amazing dinner at our home. He prepared the meal, plated and served it, and cleaned up! We had appetizers, salad, entrée ( filet, asparagus, and mac & cheese), and two desserts. I highly recommend Mac's for catering that is definitely beyond barbecue. The food was absolutely delicious and we will use Wes again! read more

I would only recommend this place if you like everything cold!! It was definitely a bummer when we got our food. It's definitely not what you would expect when you want good BBQ!! read more

Mac's BBQ & Catering - Sliced Brisket with mac n cheese plus coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Midland, Texas

The food was delicious went there around 1030 am and it seemed like the staff was barely waking up the server (meat cutter) was horrible and rude seemed like he did not want to be there and made the whole experience really awkward asked him a couple of questions and all he did was mumble read more

Great music! Great cold beer! Now the bad news. You don't come here for the food. Why you ask, cause it sucks! Old hard bread for a cold chopped beef sandwich. Mac and cheese that was still chilled from the fridge. Moving on to dessert, cherry cobbler, no decicious pie crust here, but you do get three cherries and some congeiled cherry red stuff that when stick a fork in picks up in one big glob. Now like I said you don't come for the food. If you want food go anywhere but here. read more

We order Mac's from the Favor app. We have done this in the past. We have had some problems with getting the correct order or all of our items. Some of the time, they have got our sides wrong or left one out. Which you don't want to send the driver back for an order of fries. We have tried to be considerate of the driver's time when clearly it was Mac's fault to leave things out. This time my grandkids cookies were left out. I am being charged for these items and not receiving them. We haven't complained to Mac's until now. I wanted to let them know this is becoming an on going thing but was cut off and told to take it up with the people at Favor. This is really poor customer service! read more

First thing I tried here was a brisket breakfast burrito, which was great! Decided to come back for lunch and was just as pleased. It was a blustery day, so the indoor seating was a little full. The food definitely made up for it. Green chile mac and cheese is the truth. The turkey was a little simple, but not dry. Jalapeno sausage had some serious kick to it, but wasnt lacking in other flavors. My office is right down the road so I'll be back to try everything else as soon as I can. read more

The wife and I finally located Mac's! We arrived just before a Saturday close. There were six folks ahead of us but the wait was short. We ordered to go as we saw them putting up chairs. We ordered two chopped beef sandwiches with potato salad and cole slaw. Our meal was ready in short order, then we went home. At home, we were unpleasantly surprised. The chopped beef was old and dry, the buns seared black on the bottom. Old dry beef, the dregs of the day? Was this supposed to have been thrown out? The slaw was pink/purple, didn't look much like slaw, but was kinda tasty. We will give another try, but not soon. read more

Food is great, but not for the price! I used to come here all the time and get the "Mac attack" which USED to be a pricey $9.99... but still fairly worth it. Today I went in and ordered the "Mac Attack" (they don't have it currently on their menu but stated I could order it still). They lady behind the counter filled up my bowl and handed it to another gal who then weighed the bowl. $17.89!!!!!!!! If you are going to charge by weight you need to allow people to fill up their own bowl and let them know that that is what is happening. $18 for lunch is ridiculous. I know I won't be going back. read more

Super awesome!! Finished everything, banana pudding, Mac burger, fries... super good food, cool staff... really cool place

Mac's BBQ & Catering - The Drilling - 1/2 pound 2 meat with 2 sides - Barbeque Near Me - Midland, Texas

Brisket is seasoned and smoked to perfection. The turkey breast is smoky and delicious as well. And the bbq sauce is killer. The beans are pretty bland, but the mac n cheese is pretty good. You won't regret eating here, highly recommended. read more

Love the indoor/outdoor seating. The ambiance of the place is the best part . Service was ok . Food was pretty good. Will go back .

Because there seems to be a shortage of fellow Yelpers in this town, I wouldn't have known about this place had it not been for my co-workers! We rolled up on a Thursday for lunch and the place already had a long line out the door. Order at the counter and get a card to place at your table so they can find you with your food. I ordered the Mac Attack which is this deliciousness of chopped brisket, beans, cornbread and green chili mac and cheese! I was in a food coma.. Good thing I didn't have any meetings that afternoon! read more

Mac's BBQ & Catering - Barbeque Near Me - Midland, Texas

Cold meat, stiff sausage, no help in figuring out their weird menu. Overall about the worst very expensive barbecue I've ever had. At $14 for 3 small items and no drinks it's excessive. read more

This is my first time eating at Mac's Shack. Good atmosphere, clean inside. My wife and I ate during lunch and the line moves very quickly. Now to the food, we both thought the Brisket was the best of the meats, it's very moist to the point you can't pull apart with a fork. The Pork was dry on the other hand and didn't have much smoke flavor. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was perfectly smoked and had great flavor. They were sold out of the turkey and I thought the ribs weren't worth the amount of meat on them. Banana pudding was great as well and the green chili Mac was the best side I had. I would like to see this place on a Friday or Saturday evening as they have cornhole outside. read more

Mac's BBQ & Catering - Barbeque Near Me - Midland, Texas

Bbq still good service though is hit or miss. Average price on bbq in town. Still good place to spend a night out every now and then.

First of all Menu is so hard to figure out, everything is separated, not just a priced BBQ plate, with sides, at one price. The BBQ is 9 dollars a half pound, that includes chicken which is ridiculous high. Then they have a bowl filled with your choice of BBQ, and sides, and toppings, then they weigh it, including the weight of the bowl, charged for weight of bowl. The BBQ just doesn't have a good smoked flavor, it's brisket blackened charred but not a smoky flavor, chicken was dry and not much flavor. Sauce was ok like the BBQ meats. Cobbler for price,like everything was too high for a small bowl of cobbler. Eating inside in springtime is awful, no fans, hot, sweat while eating your food, can't imagine how hot it will be in 100 degree summer weather. We won't be back here, just way overpriced for what you get. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing environment - the BEAT Banana Pudding I have had, and the owners are Eagle Scouts. We will come back when in Midland. read more

Ate here at the recommendation of a co worker. The BBQ is delicious. I had the brisket and the spicy sausage as well as the ribs. All of the meats were cooked to perfection. The dry rub on the ribs was phenomenal. I will come back here for sure! read more

We waited 15 minutes to be waited on. No one knew what they were doing. We paid 50 for lunch and not worth it. Get some employees willing to wait on you and to make it worse several people could not understand what we were asking. Not going back. read more

Really good bbq. And 7 bucks for a sandwich, side, and drink! BARGAIN!!! Will definitely be a future restaurant for me

Do go here worst BBQ in W Texas !!! Very dry food tasted several days old Poor quality ribs and sausage - very expensive for very little food Must say that they have created a good atmosphere for a bar read more

I got a plate with turkey, a 4 oz cup of green beans and a 4 oz cup of cream corn. $18.00. The food was ok. But for $18.00, it should have been mind blowing. Unless they have a fun bar event, I won't be going back. read more

Waitress said our "ticket didn't make it to the kitchen." Finally came and told us after an hour of sitting there without any food. Then told my husband what he ordered he couldn't have since it was after brunch... They advertise brunch from 10-2... He ordered at 12:30. When our food finally came out it was horrible. I ordered ribs which were nothing but fat and one slice of brisket cut up... Totaled $15. Not worth it. read more
