We were in the area for a hockey game and couldn't agree on what we wanted for dinner, then we ran into MACS. My son ordered the Loaded Baked Potato Mac, my daughter ordered the Jalapeño Popper Mac and my husband ordered the Carnitas Mac. I had a bowl of tomato soup... and a bite of everyone's Mac. My favorite was the Jalapeño Popper Mac, as a matter of fact, I still think about how good it was. The restaurant was clean and busy and the employees were very nice. While we were eating, a little girl spilled her drink all over the floor, the employees were SO nice about it. Next time we are in the area for a hockey game, we will be stopping in again. read more

Always delicious! I have tried a lot of different flavors over the years. This time I went with the carnitas mac. The food came out faster than usual! read more

MACS - REG #14 CARNITAS MAC - New American Near Me - Sun Prairie, Wisconsin

I like macs but i went today (1/3/26) during the late morning/early afternoon and when my group of four was ordering the last person in my group was about to order when someone walked in and she proceeded to say "can you guys hurry up i have customers waiting." i would understand if there was more than one group of two people and we were only 1/4 or 1/2 way through our groups order but this comment made my last member of our group to opt out of eating due to her attitude. i understand everyone has bad days and you just want to get out of work but unnecessary mean comments doesn't seem like a proactive way to counteract said bad days. on an unrelated note it made me feel over whelmed and rushed and proceeded i cried in the bathroom. will be avoiding sun prairie macs for the near future! read more

Original Mac: M.A.C.S. (Macaroni And Cheese Shop) originated in the "Waterpark Capital of the World" aka Wisconsin Dells a decade ago in 2013. It has since disseminated to several other locations around the state. In addition to the classic comfort dish, M.A.C.S. also serves up melts, limited desserts, and a rotating flavor of the month mac & cheese. Like any good Wisconsinite I love cheese (& carbs) so mac & cheese is a favorite cheat meal of mine. For this visit I went with the Original Mac, which consists of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Pretty simple, but it's also topped with crispy breadcrumbs & a "toastie". The "toastie" is essentially a giant thin crouton that's crunchy and has a nice buttery flavor. Speaking of buttery flavor, the roux is thick, creamy, cheesy, and also adds a buttery taste to the macaroni noodles. I love that the top layer of the mac & cheese is perfectly crispy as it contrasts nicely with the creamy inner portion. M.A.C.S. usually serves their cheesy entrees in a cool looking skillet that does a fantastic job of keeping the food warm. I got mine to go this time, so no cool skillet, but the foil container still kept it hot. I usually feel guilty when I decide to treat myself for some as it's a little pricey for fast food ($11 for a large original is the cheapest variety). After taking my first bite that always goes away as it's totally worth the occasional indulgence. This place has the best tasting mac & cheese I've had from any restaurant and is a must try for mac & cheese lovers. Only complaint besides the price is that I wish nutritional information was available. Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews read more

Great Food and Convenient Service MACS is a fantastic spot with really good food and a diverse menu that has something for everyone. The portions are big, and while it's a little pricier, it's definitely worth it. The Philly Mac was PHENOMENAL. Not too loud. The convenience is a big plus--there's easy parking, a drive-through, and the option to order online and pick up, which worked perfectly. The service was also super fast. Highly recommend! read more

Mmmmmmmmm. I really tried to insert a photo of the food, I really did. It was AMAZING. I don't understand why all of the reviews weren't so high. This is THE BEST Mac n Cheese I've ever had. The place was super cool and welcoming and the server was really nice. I had the Memphis, but I really just recommend just getting the Mac n cheese. It's that good. read more

Every time we've gone to Mac's, the food has been amazing! Wish we had a Mac's closer to where we lived, because I would go a lot more often if I lived in WI. We always dine in, so the mac is always served fresh in an iron skillet. The regular size is just enough for one person, so I'd suggest upgrading to the "mac daddy" size if you want leftovers. The employees were friendly and attentive! read more

Very lightly seasoned, couldn't distinguish a certain flavor. I order the brisket Mac n cheese and there was so little protein on there. At most there was 2 THINLY sliced brisket and some tiny (bacon bits like) meat on top. Customer service was the main reason for 3 stars, very welcoming and helpful. read more

Ordered take out. That went smoothly. I ate about a cup of the Mac and cheese, everything seemed fine. But that night I had really bad food poisoning. I know it was food poisoning because I was fine before the meal, but within hours my stomach was a wreck: cramping, gas, nausea. Given that I didn't eat much that day, the Mac and cheese had to be the culprit. I called the shop to notify them and got zero response. I won't be back. read more

I took out lunch from here. Everything was ready within 10 minutes. I liked the philly mac and cheese the most. Buffalo mac and cheese was ok. It had an artificial taste to it. Chipotle melt was good, but I was expecting a little bit more flavor. read more

Sometimes you crave for comfort food and this is my first time at MACS, the one on the west side next to Culvers. Staffs were friendly and ample parking. They got kids, regular and mac daddy sizes. Ordered 2 regular ones: carnitas and philly both at $11 each. Fast service as they both came around 10 minutes. Very little meat like 2 oz and the macs were creamy. I expect a little more meat when paying $11. Don't think I'll go back as we were both hungry after finishing oir dishes. read more

I heard about this place so I needed to try that Wisconsin cheese. We got the large original one and that seemed like a good amount for two people. It came with two slices of bread but were hard as a rock so not worth eating. The mac and cheese itself was good but I would say it was justifying the price. Not a terrible place just would not go out of my way to eat there. read more

I order chicken noodle soup and received a cup if dried out noodles no broth. Notified restaurant never received replacement

Have always loved this place when I am in the area. Such a great place to get some really good Mac and cheese. We love how many options there are and how much food you get. The price averages about $12 for the larger size, which I feel is really reasonably priced. This time we tried the taco mac and the chicken bacon ranch mac and both were incredible! We called ahead and the food was ready when we arrived. Overall the experience was very good. read more

The Mac n cheese is so good here. The problem as others have mentioned is the portion size of the toppings. I agree with others that the protein isn't adequate and even the veggies now are sparse. So disappointing the last few visits. They could go back to having enough toppings to last more than a few bites and I would come back, otherwise not worth the price anymore. read more

I went with my sister the place looked very clean and seem that it would be a nice place to sit down. Although I did order to go; service was fast. I had the bacon ranch Mac and cheese. When I got back to my sisters place to eat. Omg it was so good I wish I had gotten the bigger size Mac. I wish there was a location near my home so I could have it more often. It's the perfect comfort food and i will definitely visit the next time I go to my sisters place. read more

Stopped by here with my family and my sister in law and her two kids. This is, if it wasn't obvious, a Mac and cheese restaurant. They specialize in various takes on Mac and cheese. It is in the Sun Prairie shopping complex near Costco. Convenient location with plenty of parking. The menu is easy to follow and they have pictures of every type of Mac and cheese in case you don't reference the pictures on Yelp. They have 3 different sizes of Mac and cheese. The small looks like roughly a cup, the medium looks like maybe 2 cups, and the large looks like 3 cups. In addition to Mac and cheese, they do also sell some melt sandwiches and some dessert and potato chips. Prices are pretty good when you consider the amount of food (Calories) you're paying for. Calories weren't readily apparent on the menu. I tried their seasonal item the chili Mac and cheese. Basically, it was Mac and cheese with chili, sour cream, and Fritos corn chips. The regular base Mac and cheese is very rich...so anything that is added, you just need to think about how it will compliment a very rich Mac and cheese or if it's too much. In the case of the chili option, I thought it went well. My wife ordered the Memphis which was kind of a barbecue flavored one...and I don't think that flavor went well with the Mac and cheese...I don't think rich cheese and sweet barbecue sauce pair well together. But the chili and cheese were good. Not sure the sour cream was needed with an already very rich Mac and cheese, but it was right there in the center. I ordered the large size and I could only finish about 2/3 of it before I had to tap out. Service was friendly and fast. They bring your food to your table. They are helpful with questions. I'd say if you've never tried, this is a fun place to taste for the first time. I wouldn't be eating here multiple times a week or maybe multiple times a month even, but it is very good. Just very rich. They've really found a way to make a side item into an over the top in your face entree. Lots of fun recipes to try. Next I might try the Philly cheese steak one. read more

Delicious possibilities abound, the menu offers numerous choices to break up the monotony of macaroni and cheese! I ordered the jalapeño Popper version and it's plenty spicy! Gobs of melted cheese overflowing across the edges of the lodge skillet that the dishes are all presented and prepared in. Very attractive. Crisp bacon and Mac. Yum. Spotless place and I hope another location appears nearer to home. read more

Wow! If you love cheese, you will not be disappointed. Was truly impressed with all the creative flavors going on here. Sometimes, with creative mac and cheese flavors, yhenmac and cheese itself ends up super salty, but not here. It was perfect. We wanted to try the specialty flavors, so we got the pulled pork, jalapeno popper, and the chicken bacon ranch. We were so blown way about the mac and cheese that we wished we got the original/no flavor one just to taste it by itself! Mac qnd cheese is creamy and baked full of flavor. Can't wait to go back! read more

The gourmet mac is delicious! The menu offers a variety options for all tastes and other options like melts and salads. I usually opt for the Pop Eye Mac or Veggie Mac in Mac Daddy size for left overs! No shame in finishing it off either. Other choices have more wild twists! The gourmet mac hasn't dissatisfied yet. This spot is serving dine in with outside seating, pick up, or delivery. I ordered over the phone for pick up and it was ready in twenty minutes. The pick up was smooth and paid at pick up. Check this spot out for a hearty and tasty twist on Mac N Cheese! read more

We stopped into MACs Sunday afternoon for lunch. After placing our order the entire seating area was full but we were able to find a dirty table to sit at. While waiting for our food I watched a staff member clear off 4 tables around us but never come back with a rag to clean the table. I think a little education needs to happen with the staff on how to properly clear and clean a table. This made it clear to me why we had to wipe off our table with napkins when we sat down. The same person clearing tables brought out our food... I sure hope she washed her hands in between. We sat near the door that led out to the patio. Several people were exiting out that door which made it pretty cold while we were there. I wish people would have decided to use the double front door instead. After waiting over 20 minutes our food was brought to the table. We split the Mac's caesar salad. The salad came out with spring lettuce because of this darn romaine issue, which was fine. The salad had the classic ingredients shaved parmesan, seasoned croutons with caesar dressing and then elbow macaroni noodles. The elbow macaroni noodles in the salad is a weird touch and I didn't really care for it. I went with the original mac and my boyfriend had the mama's mac. MAC serves their mac and cheese in individual cast iron pans. Mama's mac is the original with thin sliced hot dogs on top. The mac and cheese comes out with a layer of cheddar cheese on top. We both felt that the mac and cheese didn't really have any flavor? I've probably eaten at MACs a handful of times and this visit doesn't really stand out to me. I was telling my boyfriend how much I liked it before we ate but MAC didn't really live up to the hype this day. Cleanliness is huge for me & was lacking majorly Sunday afternoon. We spent $22 for our meal and I think my money could have been better spent elsewhere. I come back to Wisconsin a few times a year and personally MACs will not be on my "must visit" list. read more

First timer Asked for suggestions upon entry. After a little debate the decisions were made. Order one was the "Hangover Mac" without the hotdogs. Oddly enough this was rather tasty with its seemingly never ending mix of toppings. But I feel there would be some room for improvement. For example. Changing out the hash browns for a corned beef hash. And Tabasco rather than the sriracha. Nevertheless really tasty option for the first time. The other was a little lackluster. It was the baked potato Mac. Little deceiving in the name. I was expecting a baked potato with Mac n cheese smothering it. Sadly it was slices of potato on top of Mac and cheese. Overall it was edible. Little underwhelming. With both dishes the pasta and cheese itself was really just blah. But the toppings make all the difference. Also the little bread slices added on top.. we can do without. read more

This is the second time I've gone here and both experiences were good. Staff are friendly, it's a well designed shop in a good area that has lots of other things to do (such as spas), there's plenty of parking, and there's outside seating which is nice. The Apple Bacon Bleu Salad is always fresh and tasty plus I've tried the Popeye, Philly, and Loaded Baked Potato Macs which were all wonderful. The meats are lean as well as cooked well and the Loaded Baked Potato Mac truly does taste like you just ordered a big, cheesy, gourmet baked potato from a restaurant. My only complaint is that they water down the fountain beverages quite a bit, so the drinks are not as flavorful or bold as they could (or should) be. read more

Ordered Buffalo Mac and cheese - drove home 25 min to discover they gave me bbq Mac. Ugh.

Really great fast casual specializing in Mac and cheese. But this is no ordinary Mac and cheese. This is Mac and cheese all grown up and made into a meal. We had the Memphis, which is a pulled pork with bbq sauce and amazing and a chipotle chicken, which was also super tasty. Love the bread thing. The large is too big for me but I order it anyway and take home what I can't finish. Service is pleasant and mostly quick. read more

MACS is the best place for a unique twist on a down home favorite! They have loads of curated macaroni and cheese options to appease the whole family. All portions served in their own sized cast iron skillet fresh from the oven with a crispy cheese lid encasing the gooey goodness inside. There is a cheese pull with almost every bite! PRO TIP: Each skillet comes with two toasted bread pieces called 'toasties' you can order a bowl full as a side for an additional $1.50. The crunch of the bread truly compliments this comfort dish. I ordered the Lobster Mac, the specialty option they currently have available. This was noticeably pricier than the other options, but I decided to dive in anyways because of my love for anything seafood. I thought it was great! It had big CHUNKS of lobster inside and was served with lemon wedges to top it off. My companion ordered the Buffalo Chicken Mac and removed the blue cheese and added ranch. Just how he likes it. That's right, they are fully customizable also! We love MACS, their food is reliably good and reasonably priced for the portions. PRO TIP: The SP location often has BOGO entrée coupons that we take full advantage of. I just don't have the 'skill-et' must take to make these at home, I'll keep coming to MACS. read more

Sun Prairie, WI area - Best mac and cheese I have ever had. This is the place to go for cheesy mac goodness. I ate here 3 years ago and have tried to find other places to try and top the mac and cheese here and could not. Recently went back and still deem it as the best place for mac and cheese as they have many variations. My favorite is the Jalapeno Popper and you can add chicken for $1 extra, which I would recommend. Tastes exactly like what it says and not too spicy. I like that they actually use macaroni pasta. I get disappointed when I order mac and cheese from more upscale restaurants and they use other types of pastas. read more

MACS - Veggie MAC (Regular Size) - New American Near Me - Sun Prairie, Wisconsin

Ordered up the #4 Popeye and when I received my meal, the center was cold. Not only was it cold, the dish lacked spinach, onions and mushrooms within the Mac and cheese. One of the staff had asked how my meal was and I commented how none of the veggies were mixed in the dish as it has been in the past. He told me they only place the veggies on top now so not to make a mistake. I will say it would have been fine had there been plenty of the spinach, onions and mushrooms on top, but the three spinach leaves and a baby's handful of mushrooms and onions, doesn't balance out the dish. Even though we've taken our family to this restaurant in the past, we won't anymore. I don't care to spend money and not have a nice balance between the veggies and mac and cheese. It didn't seem as though the staff was interested in correcting it, which is disappointing as that's how places loose business. read more

WoW!!! Saw this new place, and though we would give it a try. How hard can it be to choose between 12 menu items...pretty damn hard once you start reading them--you will want one of each !!! We finally settled on"Cheeseburger Mac (actually taste like a Big Mac but better.) , "Jalapeño Popper" (has a kick to it), and the "Taco Mac" (son ate it to quick so I didn't get a taste-but it must have been good for how fast it went down). All were delicious. I don't think it really matters what you get, it's all going to be good. Even the table next to us were ranting how good it was. Not sure what all was delivered to the table, but I do know they were talking mostly of the "Memphis Mac" that one ordered. Portions come in three sizes. They have the serving dish size on counter for viewing. We all did the mac daddy size because it does't look that big. It's more then plenty. The middle size would have been good enough. After they load it, it's holding more then it looks. The establishment is small with limited seating (about 15-20 tables). Very clean (then it should be, it's new) and staff is on top of things. They are quick to clean off unused tables. I was impressed with the staff in how the cleared tables. They didn't just push it from the table, to the chairs, to the floor. Leftovers were scooped up and disposed of properly. Staff stay engaged with customers while waiting for food and after to make sure your visit is the best. read more

We stopped on our way back home to Chicago after some cave exploring at Cave of the Mounds. Great spot to grab a quick cheesy bite. We ordered for pick up and ended up dining at their outdoor dining area. We ordered a veggie Mac and cheese, Memphis Mac and cheese, Buffalo Mac and cheese and a Mac Caesar salad. Everyone really enjoyed their orders. Very tasty and flavorful! Portions were maybe on the smaller end for the regular size. The cheese used was very good and plentiful! Located in a great area with plenty of options if you wanted to shop, parking was very easy as was the pick up process. read more
