    Build your own mac with mushrooms, broccoli, and chicken
    Stephen L.

    As a mac and cheese lover, I came with high expectations. I did the build-your-own-mac with mushrooms, broccoli, and chicken ($20 for a large). At first, the guy came out with my order but it was missing the chicken, so then he had to go back and add it. I thought that would be a quick process but ended up taking a while, so by the time I finally got my proper mac and cheese, I already had a not-so-good first impression. However, upon eating the mac and cheese, I realized it was actually quite good. Nothing that special, but decent. The mushrooms, broccoli, and chicken were all okay quality but could have been more plentiful. After a while, the mac and cheese started to taste a bit more bland though. I think they probably could've tried to add more seasoning or flavor or something in there. The large size was quite a lot for me to finish, since I underestimated how filling it would be. The place itself is set up in 2 parts: one side is for ordering the mac and cheese (they have sandwiches and other things as well), and the other side is like a market where you can buy different cheeses and stuff. So it's definitely a casual but unique environment. The staff are okay friendliness, although the lady taking my order seemed more interested in something on her computer screen than actually listening to my order. There are a few seats by the window available to sit and eat. Also, one other minor point to note is that they had a sign saying there would be a live mozzarella pulling demonstration Fri-Sun at 1pm, so we waited there for it, but it never happened... disappointing. Overall, the mac and cheese here is decent but honestly not much better than typical mac and cheese at other places.

    This place is a gem. So glad that it existed! I love cheese. Cheese are the best. And there's a small walk-in place for a quick bite of mac and cheese without dining at an hour long restaurant??? Unreal. I had the classic Mac snack size for $6. I was in a rush and the cashier said it'll be ready in 7 minutes. I was checking the time nonstop. It was really ready in 7 minutes. Woohoo! Sat down and devour it within 5 minutes and left. So great! I love everything about the Mac except for the breadcrumbs because I keep inhaling it down my throat and it made me cough like crazy. Can't wait to go back and try the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. Drooling already!

    Maybe it was just the day that we went, but I didn't think the mac and cheese was anything great. I got the classic Mac and my friend got the French onion Mac, and they were just okay. We also got the cheese curds which were more like mini mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce on the side. I would get the cheese curds again. I liked that it was a casual location when in the hustle and bustle of everything. There was no one else in the shop besides being there at prime time on Friday. We wait about 10 minutes after ordering for our food to come out. The staff was very friendly. The location is perfect and the cheese shop it is associated with is also perfect. If you are around, I'd definitely pop your head into the cheese shop next door.

    BBQ Buffalo Chicken - Meal Mac
    Alan L.

    Good Mac & Cheese in a clean no-frills setting. We enjoyed our quick lunch ordering two different Mac & Cheese varieties. Both bowls were tasty. The room has a few tables and a counter with seats along the Bleeker Street windows. The counter person was pleasant.

    Easily one of the best mac and cheese I've ever had, and I have had A LOT. I wanted to try this place for a while and I was so happy I had the chance to finally try it. We went and it happened to be 15 minutes before they close, I can't remember the exact time but it seems kind of early. The guy working there though was extremely nice and still let us get mac and let us eat it there while he was closing up. He was super friendly. We got the snack size of classic, buffalo chicken, and bbq chicken. The snack size was actually pretty large. My favorite was the classic, is was perfectly creamy and cheesy and had a delicious bread crumb topping!

    The pasta is cooked perfectly. It has a nice bite to it and it comes out hot. They don't use a microwave which is great. They have about six/eight options to choose from but I went for the classic. It was really good. At first I felt like it was too salty but that went away. I asked for hot sauce and it wasn't spicy at all just tangy and salty. I got three smallest size and had leftovers. It tasted better the next day which is always a treat. I would come again but keep sticking to classic because of how rich gge dish is. Th hey should also get better hot sauce and work on the presentation of their counter. I saw some rags and cleaning towels under a tray of mac and cheese. Friendly customer service and a chill vibe is here. Mera's Tip: Skip the Kraft and come here

    French Onion - Snack Mac
    Iris F.

    I'm a huge mac and cheese fan and a huge cheese fan in general, so I stopped by while checking out Murray's cheese shop. I was blown away by the french onion mac here and still crave it often. It's kinda pricey for the portions but you can tell their cheese is really high quality and all the flavors together just take you to heaven. I don't even like the shape of pasta they use normally, but it didn't even matter bc it was so good. Can't wait to come back and try other mac n cheese flavors!

    Murray's Melt
    Tanzie R.

    I spent a whole day trying out all the grilled cheeses in the area and this place by far has the best grilled cheese I've ever had (not including the Melt Shop of course). Murray's melt is buttery, crispy, and most importantly cheesy! It definitely delivers on the cheese pull everyone's after. I highly recommend getting their tomato soup to pair with it! The cheese itself was a mix of yellow and white cheddar. It's not the sharpest or saltiest cheese. More mild, perfect for kids. It needs something extra to it like adding a tomato or a tomato soup dipping situation for an adult's taste buds. The shop itself is super cute with a whole white and yellow cheese theme. Very cute for social media. They have benches outside and some tables inside. The melt only set me back $7.50 I think. Eat it as soon as possible so it doesn't lose its crisp!

    Truffle Mac

    Got the Truffle Mac that was refrigerated and ready to bake at home since that wasn't an option already baked and it was amazing! Can't wait to try the others! I will definitely be back.

    Classic Mac w/Burrate and French Onion Mac
    Katie R.

    I find it that I relate to Guy Fieri when it comes to Mac and cheese since I'm always on the search to find the perfect Mac and cheese even when they all begin tasting the same. I was super excited to try Murray's pop up since I've heard wonderful praise for their cheese itself. When I first took a bite of the classic Mac and cheese with the burrata on top, OMG my heart stopped figuratively speaking of course...for now. It was delicious and heavenly, everything I could wish for! The burrata took it to a whole new level where it brought out a creamy and sweet addition to the savory cheesy pasta. The French onion Mac and cheese was too rich to my liking and was very salty unfortunately. The price was definitely not a pocket change kind of deal but you do pay for the name and experience to try it!

    They are making the Mac & cheese
    Bing R.

    I ordered the Hungry Mac size. Probably about 2 cups and a little more of Mac& Cheese. This is $16 - but to be substantial because this is my dinner anyway, I added bacon, broccoli, extra cheese, and pickled paradew peppers at $3 more each. This ran me $28. It was very good but I thought a little expensive. This place is like eating at the new trend thing nowadays "rice bowl with items on top". Except this is Mac & cheese with items you want added. I paid for 2 others with me and our beverages.i was surprised with my bill. It is good and good cheese but even at $2 added for items for the smaller bowls for others I got, I was very surprised. The $2 pease in a little container because the person I took with me wanted the lease separately showed me how he gulped it in his little kid mouth I one toss. That was $2. And that was pease. But it was good. Cheese is expensive indeed. But maybe the pease and other additions could be a little less. Because my hungry bowl size was $28 for 1 person. And that is not the biggest bowl. It is the second to the largest.

    If you like cheese, you can't go wrong at Murray's!! Only outdoor seating when I went in mid October. We got the classic medium size and was able to share between 2 people. Will definitely have to be back to try the other flavors!

    BBQ Mac n Cheese & Lobster Mac n Cheese
    Mama B.

    Spent a 1-day trip in NYC with my best friend & our 2 kids (pre-teen & teen). My best friend's kid really wanted to go back here since they had visited with ther dad. When I browsed their menu online, I was in shock at the prices. However, once in the store (right next door to cheese shop) I just gave in and told myself to order & enjoy. I ordered the lobster mac & cheese, and my kid ordered their bbq mac & cheese. OMG!!! You could tell how fresh and homemade their pasta was. Very filling and perfectly cooked. Spoke to their employee Davon & was informed that they do make their pasta fresh daily. Again, it was very noticeable. And the lobster that was in it was perfectly portioned and was fresh as well. Would def recommend making a stop in here when in town. Also, fyi, a quick 25 min walk away from the 9/11 memorial.

    French Onion !! We weeee

    How long will the popup mac and cheese shop be open? My partner and I are major cheese lovers and have a trip to NYC planned for October, and we'd hate to miss the burrata mac and cheese.

    Hey Kara! Thank you for reaching out. We're optimistic it will be open for quite a while longer, but due to the nature of the pop-up, we can't guarantee it! Best to check in before your trip, but if the worst were to happen, we serve our Mac and… 

    Is the popup still open? We tried to go by around 8pm tonight and they were closed with a "space for rent" sign in the window. Hoping they just closed early today because of Pride and that we can try again later in the week

    Hi Savannah, Thanks for reaching out! It is absolutely still open, and you're correct, we did…

    How have I not reviewed Zou Zou's? It's one of my favorite places. High points:…read more Decor- it's beautiful Service- every time I've been there it's been outstanding. I brought a friend with a specific allergy and everyone involved in service was aware and assured us that dishes didn't contain the offending nuts. Food- I live for their branzino. The duck borek is amazing. My friend who rarely eats meat proclaimed the filet on the skewer as the best steak she's ever had. The cheesecake is phenomenal. I really recommend the chef's menu. You get a sample of everything served family style and at $79 a person, it's a deal considering that if you ordered appetizers, an entree and dessert you'd pay much more than that in any restaurant in Manhattan. I've done that twice and still ended up taking food home. Drink prices are in line with mid-town Manhattan but $12 for a bottle of San Pellegrino is a little excessive. I'd be okay with $8 or $9 but I guess a few bucks in the grand scheme of things is not the end of the world. I've been there a few times and I'll note that I had reservations on a busy Thursday and was seated outside (which was lovely) but then it started raining hard and they were so helpful and gracious in finding us a place to squeeze in on the inside. Really top notch service. I'll also note that I brought a friend from Seattle and her husband is an architect for restaurants and she was wowed by the entire experience, which made me feel great!

    We all know that New York is home to so many great restaurants, yet I can confidently say that Zou…read moreZou's is one of the best. They have a lovely rooftop bar while you wait for a table. Then, when it was finally time to be seated in the dining room, I was so pleased with the upscale, romantic interior. Our server for that night was Ferdian, who was so attentive and had real class service. We made the reservation with OpenTable for 12 and ended up with 13 people. I love that the staff was so accommodating with the last-minute request We did the pre-fixed menu to make things easier. Everything was delicious from the beginning to the end. They were also able to accommodate gluten-free and dairy-free restrictions among those wonderful meals. My favorites were the dips, branzino, and hamachi. duck borek, and the desserts! The grilled pineapple was out of this world. Simple dish with complex flavors. The crunchy cheese cake was delicious too. I had the Road to Jericho cocktail, and it was yummy.
