I LOVE MACS! Always been my favorite. Decent prices. Goldfingers is one of my choices with their homemade blue cheese. Often, the bar area gets loud and obnoxious. Kinda dark in there but food is very good. read more

Worst steak tips I've ever had. couldn't chew through them. The lady beside me had the same problem.

Place is never consistent and takes awhile. This is one of my favorite spots, so I come here with some patience. However, the last couple of times have been extremely disappointing. Longer wait than usual, for lower quality food than usual. I ordered steak tips medium well, and as you can clearly see, they are not. Watery teriyaki sauce with no solution provided other than "there's nothing wrong with it". I've gotten this dish plenty of times and it never looks like this. Won't be back for awhile. read more

Mac's Grill - Steakhouses Near Me - Auburn, Maine

We always stop by Mac's when we are on vacation. It's always clean and reasonable . We ordered steak and a large salad. Was great as always and our server was wonderful. Give it a try! Won't be disappointed!! read more

Service was good friendly waitress, but I didn't like the environment it was dark. You couldn't see your food, No wonder there was lots of little bugs crawling around the steak tips that we ordered for nearly $30. The prices were Boston or New York style, but the food quality was far from it , very loud with lots of locals screaming and yelling bringing their multiple children and stepchildren into the dining room not my cup of tea. read more

This place was ahmazing the ribeye was delicious I got it with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and broccolis and the waitress was very attentive. read more

Bartender was very friendly. Terrific atmosphere. We got take out! I got the Mediterranean salad!! Yum! And portion was fantastic. read more

Mac's Grill - Mediterranean Salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Auburn, Maine

Asian Shrimp salad, complete with RANCID Mandarin oranges. When my wife tasted it, she asked me to try the orange - it was almost fizzy. It was bad, as in really bad. Thankfully, they had put the grilled shrimp on the side, so we returned the large salad bowl (declined having another salad made, 'cause the salad she'd just eaten was pretty much a spoiler) - so she just ate the shrimp. The server essentially had ghosted us. Got the bill. The Asian Salad (complete, per the menu) was $16. They were charging us $14. What? No, "I'm sorry", no "Let us remove that from the bill." I then spoke to the manager, and she said that "It's in the computer, so that's what it is." It's not so much the money, but the attitude. Stuff happens. I get it, But if that's the 'taste' you want to leave in someone's experience, you're not the place for me / us. Never again. read more

This is my first ever review of any restaurant. we visited Mac's grill on Valentines night and I was looking forward to a well cooked steak. I'm currently eating carnivore so I figured I would order the largest steak on the menu which is a 22 ounce sirloin. I ordered it medium rare which the menu says is red in the middle and warm. I'm 90 percent sure I received a very lean 22 ounce log of burger that was co to medium well to well done. It was barely pink in the very middle And not shaped like any siloin steak I've ever seen. I should have sent it back but who does that? I was in a party of 4 and everyone else's meal appeared great. How does a steakhouse over cook a steak? read more

Absolutely horrible!! We ordered 2 burgers. Both turned out extremely under cooked after a few bites. We sent them back and after 20 minutes 2 burgers came back to the table. Not our burgers because the bites were different sizes and in different places than what we sent back. The manager says it's normal for them to recook food after it's brought to a table and eaten off of. Claimed it perfectly normal and sanitary. read more

We were happy to be pointed to this restaurant by another local resident at Firehouse Grille( unfortunately their kitchen was closed.) The servers were very pleasant and sweet. We were greeted and sat - they have a huge bar and a separate dining room too. I ordered a Caesar salad with no protein. The sals was huge. The coupons were crispy and solid. The best part was that the dressing was on the side and I could just dip into the dressing. To finish the meal we were treated to Andes mints. read more

Food was delicious! Our waitress was absolutely amazing, Ava G. Thank you!, atmosphere was very relaxing, super clean!

Food was amazing as always, but when you get a Pepsi accidentally dumped on your lap by your waiter on your anniversary night you think there would be some sort of comp on $150 bill. Didn't go there to get free food but now my evening plans are ruined. read more

Our go to whenever, we live three towns over so we aren't "locals" but close enough as we drive by all the time. Their food is top notch and service is extremely attentive. Cool bar scene and tons of seating, they get busy so be prepared for a wait depending when you go. Food is awesome, best restaurant chili out there, try the potato skins with chili. Mac and cheese is great, hand breaded chicken fingers as well.. literally everything we have had for years was good. read more

Love the food here! Steaks are amazing and the burgers are to die for! We will be back soon!

LAST MINUTE call to see how late you're kitchen is serving. We were happy to hear 9. We wanted a good steak. Came here because menu online was great. Got there and were seated right away. Our server Brianna was cheery and attentive even while doing her closing duties. We knew what we were going to order before we sat down- because we knew kitchen was closing in 25 minutes. After ordering our apps and dinner we ordered a beer & a martini. We had bacon 4 wrapped scallops and a crock of French onion soup. We each had the 16 oz ribeye both med-rare with a dry rub. Ribeyes were RARE there was NO garlic butter on his ribeye that he asked for- we figured because cook was rushingbecausehe wantedto be done working. Everything had been going good We were ok with rare, better than over cooked. At that point we planned on taking steaks back to where we were staying and cooking a bit more.. We asked a couple times if we were holding them up (our waitresses another waitresses and the bartender) They said -no take our time eating they still had all their closing duties. We still rushed eating. We are in the food and beverage business we totally understand and appreciated them seating us so close to closing. We ended up getting half our meal Togo so not to hold them up anymore. We chatted & joked around with our server throughout our meal. We paid by card and gave a cash tip which was 40% of our bill. . $50 We handed her the cash tip- no thank you from our server. We boxed our food up to finish at our cabin. I used bathroom 1 last time and as I walked towards my husband and the door to leave 1 of the workers came out of the kitchen (which server station and doors to kitchen are right by hall to bathroom horrible set up especially for workers on a busy night) the employee from kitchen says to our server and another " Tell them get the f@#k out we're closed." looking in our direction. We were the only customers left. That & our sever never saying thank you-pissed my husband & i off . Hopefully no one else has a crap end to their meal like we did. read more

Really didn't care for this restaurant all the food was terrible the green beans have stems left on them the steak was burnt the chili taste like tomato soup almost no beans didn't taste like chili at all baked potato with so tiny the butter was frozen very small portions Denny's has a better steak dinner than this place it was absolutely horrible and overpriced I'll never go back to that place I would rather go to the Texas Roadhouse or Applebee's for a better steak dinner I was very disappointed first time eating there it was Nasty Food read more

Food quality has gone downhill considerably since our last visit. Starters were good (poutine and onion rings), but steak tips were alternately tough and chewy. Wife's steak was flavorless without extra sauce despite having the house rub. Speciality margarita was slightly watery. To top it off, they wouldn't accept my, admittedly old but valid, gift certificate and argued with me over it. For all of these reason, I highly doubt we or our families will visiting again. read more

We hadn't been here in about 3 years. It was always excellent and it still is! We have been all over the country and were looking for a good steak. We thought Kansas would have good steak but Mac's Grill was much better. It was the best steaks we have had in a long time. And the prices were very reasonable. The waitress, Christina, was also excellent. It was busy but we got seated right away. You know that a restaurant is good when it is busy on a Wednesday night. Looked like a lot of locals. We live about 40 min away but will definitely come back soon! read more

This place exceeded our expectations. We sat right down and the service was great. I had steak tips, well done, and they were done perfectly. My husband had blue cheese short rib pasta which was fantastic. We started with mussels. They were so good. The portions were a good size. They had a wide selection of beer. I had an expresso-pumpkin that was not too sweet and very good. The prices were very reasonable. We will be back! read more

AWFUL!!! 16 family members went for my Grandmothers 80th birthday, They made us block the entry way and kitchen and stare at our empty reserved tables for 45 minutes while holding twin babies in their car seats because one member of our party had gotten lost and was running behind. When finally seated the hostess and wait staff would gather and socialize around our table brushing up against our backs even bumping the table, BUT THE DIRTY NAPKIN IN MY MOTHERS SALAD was beyond disgusting!!! We were all in disbelief the staff from hostess to management were completely put off to accommodate such a large group and made sure we knew it! I was shocked consider how much revenue 16 people could bring in. I strongly advise any other restaurant! IT WAS AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Went for a late lunch last Saturday and the place was busy but we got seated right away in the bar area which we requested. We ordered the potato skins as an appetizer and they were very good. I ordered the wrangler cut steak and it was delicious and cooked perfectly. My girlfriend had an all American burger which was also cooked perfectly. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often to see if we had everything we needed. We go to Mac's two or three times a years and we enjoy it every time. It's worth the trip from Saco. read more

The wait staff is wonderful, the menu is diverse and the food is delicious and very reasonable. We have returned several times when we visit the area read more

This place EXCEEDED my expectations! My first visit was on a bustling Saturday night and since it was my first unplanned visit; I was unaware that it is best to have reservations or be prepared to wait at least 30-45 minutes to be seated. They have bar seating, TVs that make it great for a sporting hangout, and another side of a dining area if you wish to have a little more intimacy during your visit. The food was amazing!!! I mean really amazing! I had the ever so generous portion of the Filet Mignon, Garlic Potatoes, and a House Salad. It was prepared exactly to my specifications and was a sheer delight to my taste buds. The hostess has been at that establishment for over 20 years which serves as a testament to the establishment. Every staff interaction was pleasant and enjoyable. I definitely see more dining here in the future! Thank you Mac's for such an awesome dining experience. read more

Every time I am in town for work, I usually make my colleague take me here for lunch. Ever since I discovered their grilled wings and BB bullet, I was hooked! Their spicy grilled wings is a must have! It's probably the best wings around Maine. I always have to order a double batch. It tasted like they were deep fried and then tossed with cheese. Make sure to ask for extra buffalo sauce and then pour it on top of these bad boys. It's addictive! The BB bullet is a unique and cool dish. It's bacon wrapped sirloin tips. Best of both meat world. Great customer service too! read more

Food here never comes out cooked rite no matter what we seem to order. How hard is it to cook something well done. u send it back to be fixed and it comes back to you still not well done, You have to send it back again. The manager offers to comp your meal for my troubles. so when it come back out it's right I eat it. The check comes and it's not comped. So u question it. The manager then says because I ate it after it was brought back to me for the second time mind you, she won't comp the meal. For real! Will never eat at this place again. read more

I've been twice now and after the first time I gave them another chance big mistake. First off they can't cook a steak to save their life. I got cactus dust seasoning on my rib eye and the only flavor was the charcoal taste from burning it. Steak was very thin especially for a 16 oz. Everyone says the Mac and cheese is great, I don't know why it was dry and had no flavor. I guess you have to be drunk to like it. I've had better food in a school cafeteria. I'd give negative stars if I could will never return read more

We went to celebrate a very special birthday! We have gone there for years pre COVID. Our first time back. What a huge disappointment. They don't serve bread anymore, now it's an added expense. I ordered the seafood bake. It was terrible. It used to be delightful. This time the seafood (what there was of it) was so over cooked it was just chewy with no idea what it was. It was runny and smelled very fishy. When I explained what was wrong with it, she took it away and didn't bother with us again. That is until she wanted money! She was so hostile!! We explained we weren't angry at her, just so disappointed at the quality of the food. Her answer was they are trying to work things out! Then she was gone. Don't waste time or money going!!! read more

Keegan is the best waitress ever. She was attentive and gave us the best service, Food was great, ribs and steak fantastic . The 4 of us thought it was the best food in the area. read more

Great ribs!!! Very suitable location for a party or gathering... Large selection of drinks and such too... Staff have always been kind when taking orders so no complaints on service... Over all a great place to be! Not the most inexpensive place to dine but it's in the middle ground for affordability so I see it as more of a date night thing at least for parents on a budget. read more

Two best dishes on the menu : Mac and cheese (add the 6oz steak) it's delicious and easily big enough for two meals. Or, the steak and cheese grinder, absolutely delicious, with great cuts of steak that's not sliced too thinly. Macs is great any night of the week, and has a tremendous beer selection. Service is prompt and the mints at the end of dinner are a nice touch. Great for a first date. read more

I vacation up here every year for decades and drive right past this place because foolishly I thought it was a chain. It's not. The staff even wear shirts that say "where the locals eat". I don't give out 5 stars easily and this isn't a Michelin star but in terms of good food and value for money I don't see how you beat this place. For 19.99 a really nice rack of ribs with a salad and some great, not good but great fries. Will definitely be back. read more

I've never been disappointed at Macs and I've never ordered anything other than steak. The steak is always good and cooked to your preference. While the Mini MAC is a good steak, I always forget that it is a filet sirloin and not Mignon. If you're looking for the tenderness of a filet Mignon, or the Mac's Filet Mignon. You can ask for the run tray to try a sampling of the many run flavors available for your steak. It's fun to do especially if you're on a date or with the family. The restaurant is clean and the staff are mostly friendly. If you're looking to eat dinner there with a group of 4 or more, make reservations. And if you're going for a special event, make reservations as soon as you know. They can sometimes book several weeks to a few months in advance. read more

I am part of a golf group that travels to Maine once a year. We eat at Mac's for both our dinners for the past 4 years. Each time we visit, we are treated with excellent service, delicious food (try the wings!) and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend trying them out! read more

Excellent food, great service, good atmosphere. The bar area is more lively to sit at for dinner as it's open and you can see more. The dining area is broken up into two sections and one of them sits above the rest and is near the kitchen. The other has a larger room to accommodate larger parties. A good place for a large party. Great menu, food is a little on the pricey side for the L-A area but it is great quality. Drinks are good, too. read more

Fries are amazing! The wife loves the sweet potato fries. Recommend the BB Bullets as appetizer and add an extra side of Mac and cheese to any sandwich (because you gotta try the fries!!) love the chicken sandwich! read more

3.5 stars? Really? I thought it was amazing. Stopped for dinner after a full day of hiking. The 6 oz fillet was cooked perfectly. So tender. Sweet potato fries and side salad rounded out my meal. Quick friendly service. Yup. I'm a fan. read more

Very large potions. Fresh food. Gluten free menu. Noisy. Friendly service. Clean restrooms.
