    Original Mac(mac daddy)
    Travis B.

    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

    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!

    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.

    Brisket
    Pax T.

    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.

    Chipotle melt

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken bacon ranch mac
    Jenna S.

    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.

    Jalapeño Popper MAC.
    Stephen V.

    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.

    Jalapeno popper mac
    Eunice H.

    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!

    Veggie MAC (Mac Daddy Size)
    Alyssa M.

    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!

    Sports bar with great food! Don't miss this one!…read more This gem is unassuming and tucked back off the main streets cottage grove. It has a large indoor and outdoor recreational area attached, but the food is what stands out. This was our first time for breakfast. The Bloody Mary was delicious, tasted like a homemade mix, with the perfect portion of garnishes. I had the breakfast sandwich, which was build your own, with potato pancakes. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The potato pancakes were some of that best I've had, and such a great idea for breakfast. My husband had the biscuits and gravy with seasoned diced potatoes. The portion was not overwhelming and the biscuits were fresh with a very flavorful gravy - some of the best around. Service was efficient and attentive. Excited to come back again!

    We ordered 2 salads tonight for takeout one Salmon, 1 Asian Chicken. We were underwhelmed on both…read moreof them. The salmon had a good size chunk. It was supposed to come with pears and candied walnuts. I've included picture, there weren't any. Both salads were to come with "French Bread" per menu. You will see it was like an inch piece of bread. The Asian Chicken had tough chicken, limp tortilla strips (salad dressing was on side so that wouldn't have impacted this) and about 4 mandarin slices 2 of which were mushy. There were no bean sprouts or sesame seeds as indicated on menu. The only thing that saved this meal was a breadstick we found in our refrigerator. Too bad, would not get either again.
