I l-o-v-e mac and cheese, and MACS does not disappoint! I've had the Original, Mama's Mac, and Chipotle varieties - all amazing. I love that they come served in a little cast iron pan, it totally adds to the experience. Overall, a nice quick option if you're in a pasta-y mood. (bonus: they offer online ordering!) read more

This location served unbelievably dry Mac n cheese with little to no flavor. Nothing like the location in Wisconsin Dells!

First time i've ever been in a restaurant specifically for Mac & cheese. Biased maybe, but that was worth a cheat meal it was good as hell. Regular portion size is fair if your watching your diet. Got the #7 chicken, bacon, ranch Mac and #8 buffalo chicken Mac. read more

Finally got to try Macs! I've been wanting to for quite a while now. I had the Mama's Mac - it is mac and cheese with cut-up fried hot dog pieces. The flavor is great. Nice and creamy mac and cheese, crispy top layer of cheese, and the hot dog pieces were perfect. It made me feel like a kid again eating my Kraft Mac and Cheese with an Oscar Mayer hot dog cut up in it - but a more grown version with rich high quality products. It was delicious! Now, the portion sizes are a bit strange to me. I got the larger of the two options, and it was around $9 dollars. The "large" is not very large at all. My coworker and I had lunch together and we both agreed the dished seemed small, especially for the price. The hot dog slices, as delicious as they were, were very slim. If you stacked them all together, I would bet it wouldn't even make a third of a full regular sized dog. Disappointing for sure. I can't imagine how tiny the small must be. We joked that it might come served in a shot glass ;) It was good, yes, and a lot of their menu looked like fun, creative dishes, however I doubt I will be back any time soon. read more

First time I stopped I got it to go. I opened it as soon as I got to my car and it was Luke warm. Tasmte wise it was good but I like my macNcheese warmer. The second time here I had the Popeye with spinach, mushroom and onion. We ate at a table and everything was piping hot. Husband had the buffalo chicken and loved it. He isn't a Mac and cheese type of guy but he said he would ce back. Three kids had the regular child's Mac and cheese with hi milk, chips and apple slices. Everyone cleaned their plate except my husband who ordered the papa size Mac and cheese. read more

If I could I would give this place a 10/5 stars. from the moment you walk in you are greeted with warmth. The staff is amazing and prompt in making the food and helping you decide if you're a first timer. I absolutely love cheese and there is no better place to get it than Wisconsin. This is some of the best Mac and cheese I've ever had. Just writing this review is making my mouth salivate. If you are visiting the dells, you MUST go to Macs. It will be the best decision you've made all week :) I recommend getting the jalapeño popper Mac or the buffalo Mac, they both have some heat but it's not overwhelming at all! Cheesy golden and great! read more

Great lunch spot near Costco and target. We tried the buffalo chicken as well as momma's Mac & cheese, both were very good. Open and airy location and they bring your meals to you if you are dining in. We will return to try more things including the four cheese melt which I'm told is excellent. read more

Stopped in tonight as working on getting the Hilton Garden Inn across the street opened. I'm from Des Moines Iowa so wasn't sure what to get. Talked with the nice girl and asked her what she recommended between the bbq chicken or jalapeño popper. She said she liked stuff spicy so she gets the jalapeño & adds chicken to it. Well needless to say she didn't let me down. Place was clean, quick, friendly & good food. Definitely will be back on my returns to Wisconsin read more

Best Mac and cheese I ever had. I can't replicate it at home, so I'm stuck making the drive and paying the price. I had the philly cheese steak Mac. I have it 4 stars instead of 5 simply for the price, it's a bit high. Probably worth it, but a dollar or so less would have cemented a 5 star rating. If you've never tried it, you owe yourself at least one visit. read more

I've been here a few times and it just seems like overpriced MAC and cheese. I really don't have anything special at all to write about it. The 2 kids don't like the MAC and cheese here and would rather go to several other restaurants close by. I have no idea why this rates a 4. read more

New to the Madison area so of course I come to Yelp to help me out! Dined here last week. You enter and order at a counter, put a number on your table and they bring it out to you when it is done. Super casual place. Food: Oh my goodness! My comfort food weakness is mac and cheese so of course after reading reviews, I needed to come here. My husband and I both ordered the small sizes. I definitely think he could of ordered the larger and been more satisfied. He ordered the taco which was yummy, but not something I would normally order. Basically taco toppings on mac and cheese. Lol. I ordered the pulled pork one. OMG! Mac and cheese layered with pulled pork, crunchy onion strings and bbq sauce. Definitely would order again. We also ordered a Caesar salad. Typical salad but with plain macaroni noodles. Everything severed in a cast iron skillet. Service/Pricing: Guy who took our order was nice. He also was the one who brought us our food. Prices not too bad. Location: Lots of parking. Verdict: Coming back for sure! We want to try the grilled sandwiches. read more

Fun little place when you're looking for something a bit different than just another burger joint. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and patient with people taking their time deciding. Seating seems a little cramped, but not so much that it's uncomfortable. The food is good. The limited time Philly Cheese Steak Mac they had was out of this world tasty, but alas, it's no longer an option, at least the last time I was there. If they added it as a regular menu item I might be in a bit of trouble. Everything else I've had is just slightly above average good. read more

Very disappointed with this restaurant. I've had Mac's before in the dells and it was amazing so was excited to go here. Almost all the employees in the kitchen weren't wearing their mask properly. They had it well below their nose and even one girl had her's all the way down on her chin! She was in the kitchen. Disgusting. We are in a pandemic, people! The bathroom was a mess. I did not feel safe being there plus was bummed the portions are so small for $7. Will stick to noodles and company in the future. read more

My favorite restaurant in all of Wisconsin!! I live in Tennessee now and constantly find myself craving different types of their mac n cheese. It's literally the first restaurant I always go to when I'm back in town. You will never find a more delicious, rich mac and cheese anywhere. Although you wouldn't think to go to a mac n cheese restaurant for salad, their wedge salads are seriously good, too. Don't miss out on MACS if you're in Sun Priaire! read more

Over all Terrible experience, buffalo Mac was terrible seemed like burnt canned chicken on top noddles tasted terrible ate less than half of it and felt sick to my stomach read more

What a busy place on a Saturday afternoon! My daughter and I have never been to a Macs before and we were not disappointed. The options were vast and and diverse. We decided to go a little mainstream with chicken bacon ranch mac n cheese. It was so rich we shared a mac daddy serving and there were still leftovers! We will be back to try others for sure... read more

This place is awesome! It gets super packed here! I really like their Buffalo Chicken Mac! That was awesome. Not a big fan of the Hangover Mac... it was really just eating a lot of grease which I'm not much of a fan of. Anyway, that one was not for me. The kids enjoyed the regular mac. They were not into experimenting but they all loved the Buffalo Chicken Mac! I would definitely go there again! It was quite expensive... so... pay attention if you're going in there with kids! The regular portions weren't that big but it fills you up! The place was pretty cramped and there was not a ton of places to sit. So if you don't want to wait, go during their down time... maybe avoid lunch and dinner hours. I would come here again! read more

I have driven by this place many times and it always looks packed. I went Saturday night on a whim. I will start by saying the staff is uber friendly. Happy to answer questions and give recommendations. The store was very clean considering patrons leave there skillets and trash at the table. There was a guy flying around cleaning and conversing with patrons. If he isn't an owner or manager, he deserves a nice bonus. I ordered the large Mama's Mac and a drink. The Meal Deal included a freshly homemade chocolate chip cookie for less than a dollar more. Okay, sold. I managed to find a table and awaited my dinner. It arrived bubbly hot. I thought the portion was huge and with the richness of the Mac and Cheese, I only ate half. I had a nice portion and a cookie for lunch the next day. I would be interested in coming back and trying another flavor from their menu of 10 different choices. This is a completely different place than Noodles & Co. So I don't get the comparisons. I found the price to be similar or less costly than Noodles. If I was seeking a real Mac and Cheese while I'm out and about, I would happy find my way back to MACS. read more

There's mac n cheese and then there's MACS version of mac n cheese! I love their gourmet twist to this otherwise very casual average joe snack. The portions are great and the flavor profiles very playful! Give this place a sure try even if you're not a fan of mac n cheese. You won't regret I'm sure! read more

I am in love. It is like the Chipotle of mac and cheese. I fight every urge to go there daily. I ordered the mac and cheese with pulled pork. I skipped the extra sauce because I did not want it too liquidy. It was a marvelous option. The pork and the mac was paired well. I would have skipped the onion straws. They were unneeded and a little too overpowering. My only negative point? The base mac is the same. It is only the toppings which differ. Perhaps, they could try a different base and change up the cheese mix. The price is a touch high but you REALLY do get a good chunk of food. I did not try the salads but I saw them. They looked a little basic/small for the price. Truthfully, I am not going to this place unless I get Mac and Cheese. My advice? Go with someone, get a couple and share to try them all! read more

I'm a big fan of pasta...so when I saw Macs we had to go. We've now been 3 times. Comfort food that's fast, pretty close to homemade but with a little pizazz. Don't plan on coming here if you're on a diet ;) My husband and I have gotten different meals each time so we can try as many as possible. Good thing the menu isn't too big and the staff is friendly. It's really cute inside too but it's kind of tiny. It always seems like there are loud children eating next to us. 1st trip: He got the Buffalo Chicken which had just the right amount of sauce, heat and blu cheese. I got the Memphis Mac which is bbq pulled pork. Usually I'm a big fan of bbq anything but this time it was a little over powering. Winner: Buffalo Chicken. 2nd trip: He got the Jalapeño Popper. Not much to say other than it was awesome! So creamy. Not too spicy. Can't wait to try it again. I got the Taco Wedge Salad. It was good, but it wasn't comforting like a big bowl of creamy mac and cheese. I'd say if you want a salad go somewhere else. Winner: Jalapeño Popper. 3rd trip: He got the special which was Philly Cheesesteak. It was AMAZING, the right amount of meat and veggies to noodles. YUM. I got the Chicken Bacon Ranch because I couldn't decide and the girl behind the counter said it was her favorite. Well it wasn't my favorite. In fact I didn't really like it at all. Winner: Philly Cheesesteak. We will obviously be back to try out a few more. read more

Great concept. Great for kids and families. You place your order at the counter. They have many types of "macs" to choose from, wedge salads, melts and kids meals. Macs are served in a cast iron pan. I ordered the Jalapeno mac with extra jalapenos. It arrived with little blobs of cream cheese throughout with bacon sprinkled on as well. Surprisingly creamy and good. Food was hot. Lots of tables and chairs. Chairs are plastic and kind of a turn off. Maybe they do not want ppl to stick around. LOL. We ordered a wedge salad too. It too arrived in a cast iron server. I ordered blue cheese dressing. Did not like it. It tasted metallic. Nice clean bathrooms. Pepsi products. If you are craving mac and cheese, you should give this place a try. read more

Yum There are not many restaurants that my whole family is equally excited about. We range in age from 18 months to 37 years young. The battle of McDonalds or anywhere else is not always one I want to fight...until now. The conversation usually goes something like this: Me: Where do you want to go? One or both of my children: McDonalds! Me: How about Macs? Children: Yes! Boom. We are all happy! I love the Memphis mac. Second to that is the jalapeño popper mac. My hubby and I order the larger size and split it. It seems bigger and cheaper than ordering two of the smaller ones. Thanks Mac for helping settle the "Where should we eat dilemma?"! Happy Fam! read more

That's a fascinating amount of carbohydrates I just ingested. It's hard to screw up Mac and Cheese, but Macs tries its best. Mac and cheese is cheap, so in order to get the most from you, they overcharge you. Then, they slop a pile of their brand of glop onto a clever skillet tray, cover it with some toppings to disguise the fact that it's basically been sitting out for hours waiting for someone to order it, and then run it through a salamander to heat it up. The end result is acceptable, but it ain't great. I'll probably go back, but not too often. read more

I won't drive here from downtown Madison specifically again, but if I'm in the area I may stop. I think it is pretty hard to mess up mac'n'cheese (which they don't), but it is difficult to make transcendent mac'n'cheese (which they don't quite). The interior as a kind of Chipotle or Noodles & Company vibe inside. Lots of Wisconsin rah-rah stuff on the walls, predictably. I had Memphis, with pulled pork and little crunchies on top. It was great! Really good idea to mix up the texture with the crunchies. Companion had buffalo chicken or something of that sort, his was not as good as mine - no crunchies and the oil from hot sauce pooled up. They serve it up in little tiny faux-cast iron pans which have adorable hot pad mitts on the handle. This was the best part, these cute tiny mitts. Takeaway: strip mall food that's pretty good, stop if you're around. read more

I had high hopes for Macs but unfortunately, the food didn't really do much for me. I ordered the Jalapeno Popper Mac and Cheese and the Taco Wedge salad as a to-go order. The Wedge salad was pretty basic with iceberg lettuce, a few sliced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and ground beef. There wasn't anything extraordinary about the ground beef flavoring and they forgot to include the side of sour cream. The Jalapeno Popper Mac and Cheese had okay flavor from the peppers but was fairly lack-lusterous otherwise. I realize that Mac and Cheese should be cheesy, but this was entirely too heavy on the different cheeses for my liking. At one point, I got an entire spoon full of cream cheese... The description of the dish didn't provide the noodle type but I believe they were rigatoni noodles which aren't my favorite for mac and cheese either. As far as pricing goes, they are overpriced for "Fast-Casual" dining. The "Daddy Mac" is the largest size and is still smaller than the "Regular" size at Noodles. The "Daddy Mac" cost was $8.25 compared to $5.59 at Noodles. My total order was around $17.00 including a drink which seems pricey for a bowl of pasta and an iceberg salad. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was courteous, my food was promptly prepared and they seem to have a variety of food selections. I may consider giving one of the other dishes a try, but for the money and taste, I'm still a loyal Noodles and Company customer. read more

MACS....comfort food even when you do not needing comforting! The mac and cheese is undeniably outstanding. I have tried the Buffalo, the Chicken Ranch, the Memphis (in a sandwich), the Taco....all very, very good. The service has been a little uneven. I think they misplaced my order once, but overall they are okay. The soda machine drips out of the ice maker and the soda dispensers too much, causing sticky hands...they really should get that fixed. I will, of course, be back again...and probably again.... read more

My college-aged son loves man-n-cheese, so I took him to MACS for a quick dinner. Big mistake. His buffalo chicken mac was "just ok." My Caesar salad was not good. Worse than the food was the atmosphere. Most of the empty tables were dirty. Worse than the atmosphere was the cashier. She was all but laying her whole body on the counter/POS. I'm sorry I put faith in Yelp's 4-Star review. :-( read more

We had a lunch date here a couple of weeks ago. Good amount of food for the price. And the food was delicious. It was served in a timely fashion for a lunch hour meal. Only complaint was lack of seating. We had to stand and wait for a table to open up, and got seated at an outside table just before our food came. We were lucky that it was nice out that day, not sure how this will go over come winter time or on rainy days. read more

Pretty darn good Mac & Cheese. They have a plethora of different kinds of Mac & Cheese. I myself would never think of Mac & Cheese is something to order out- it's easy enough to make well at home, and how interesting can it possibly be? Enter MACS. There's dishes with hot dogs, chipotle flavored dishes, even ones with spinach! Chances are, even if you're not the biggest fan of Mac & Cheese, you'll find a dish here you'd enjoy. The environment was clean and modern. The staff pleasant. read more

Bless the heart of the sweet person that decided that a macaroni and cheese restaurant was a necessary thing. Because it is. Extremely necessary. Service is fast and the food is great. I've eaten here a few times and the only dish I have been a little disappointed with was the loaded baked potato Mac. It was a little bland... and baked potatoes are my jam, so I was kinda bummed. That being said, looking back at it, I think if I would have just added some hot sauce it would have been perfect. Maybe I'll try that next time. My favorite dish here is (believe it or not) the Mamma's Mac, (with the cut up hot dogs)! I also love the jalapeño popper Mac, and my husband swears by the Memphis Mac. I really, really wish they offered a medium size. I feel like the regular is too small and the "Mac Daddy" is just insanely large. Nothing wrong with either size, I'm just a very medium person, haha! Half of me wishes they would open a MACS up on the west side. The other half (the half that doesn't want to gain 50 pounds,) realizes that might not be the best thing.... I have no self control. :-) read more

Please open a store in Schaumburg Illinois! I promise you would make a killing in that neighborhood. Best Mac and cheese on the planet. I stop here every time I drive to and from my wife's parents house in beaver dam. I even take an extra order home with me....it's that good! This is a billion dollar franchise for sure....so open stores in Illinois!!!!!'nn read more

This amazing place is heaven for all Mac and cheese lovers. There are options for all from spicy to bbq. They combine the most random food items to taste like heaven. Be adventurous and try out different meals here, it's worth it. If you have the time, dine in to receive your meal in a hot iron skillet. It's a nice added touch! If you live in the area, check your mail often for coupons. We often get buy one meal, get one half off or $5 off of $20 takeout. I suggest the Memphis Mac! It's my two favorite meals in one. Well done MACs well done. read more

Excellent mac n cheese restaurant. My daughter got the kids size original mac. i got the Popeye, and my wife got the jalapeno popper and we split a house salad. They all come out piping hot in a cast iron skillet, and the salads are very fresh. (If you're anything like us bring your own hot sauce! Although they do have sriracha at the tables) read more

Tried this place tonight for the first time. We decided to try the jalapeño popper Mac (without bacon), and my boyfriend went with the chipotle chicken mac. The girl at the counter was super nice and friendly, and she was cleaning the restaurant and picking up when there was no one at the counter. Great Mac and cheese; however, I didn't really get the jalapeño popper vibe. Unless the bacon pulls it all together, it was more or less just a really good, gooey Mac and cheese. I tried a bite of the chipotle chicken Mac and that was delicious! We both went with regular size, which was pretty filling. Cheap dinner for two. Overall, while I was hoping for more of a jalapeño flavor, I was pleased and it was a nice spin on some different types of mac'n'cheese. read more
