Supreme Pizza Mac & Cheese   Large Combo
Jillian S.

TLDR: The restaurant for cheese fans. Unique menu of creative mac and cheeses and grilled cheeses. Including vegan options! Friendly, welcoming employees. Upon viewing the menu, I knew we would stop here in the future. Mac house offers an impressive list of unique macaroni and cheese dishes and grilled cheeses. They also offer vegan options. This week we decided to try it out and ordered the large Supreme Pizza mac and cheese combo without peppers ($22.16 after tax). Online ordering was easy and the order was accurate and ready on time. The employee who greeted me at the counter was incredibly friendly and helpful. I wish I caught her name since she really made the experience even better. The pizza mac and cheese surprisingly did taste like pizza! We enjoyed it and it left us satisfied. The entrees are a bit pricy so this restaurant would be a rare treat. They give ample protein and toppings which is great. It is located in a plaza with ample parking. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and recommend this restaurant to others!

Thai Bowl
Chris G.

I had a Thai Bowl with fried cauliflower added and it was really delicious! I was skeptical walk into Flavor District and ordering an Asian bowl from a mac and cheese place, not to mention seeing the very spartan seating crammed into a narrow space next to a counter with too many staff who didn't seem to be doing anything at all. Yet this was truly good! The dressing that went over the top was a good combination of rich, salty, sweet, and sour, and it made all the vegetables and grains sing. The addition of Thai chili cashews was a great touch, but the cauliflower was my favorite part! Y'all, order the fried cauliflower! I'm not even a vegetarian, but those crisp chunks of cauliflower were to die for and I suspect much better than the meat options they also had. My lunch companion got the bacon jam and pimento mac and loved it. I can't eat that much dairy, so had one small bite and it was indeed yummy, but you'd expect that from a mac and cheese themed restaurant. The bowl was much more surprising. I would gladly eat here again, though think I'd bring a camp chair and eat outside or take it to go as is clearly the model for this place. The ambience indoors really left something to be desired, thus I didn't give the place five stars, though that's the fault of the venue. I feel this vendor would be much better served moving to a different spot with more seating.

This is the Mac&Cheese promised land. I'm really impressed by Mac House. A friend enjoyed her food here and I decided to give it a try when giving into my cravings. I am the master of Macaroni and Cheese so my expectations are were very low. Mac House did not disappoint. They deliver creative flavorful dishes. Creamy, unique and flavorful is what you can expect here. I enjoyed a grilled cheese featuring southern classics like fried green tomatoes and pimento. The sandwich was excellent. The classic macaroni and cheese was a winner for me. It was very similar to my own recipe. I also tried the bbq chicken macaroni and cheese. Very creative with the cornbread crust on top. Give this place a try.

The Mac House is a hidden gem tucked away in a shopping center in North Raleigh. It is family owned with great customer service and they remember me and what I typically order. I tend to order the same things but do change it up once in a while. As every month, there are special mac n cheese; grilled cheese; salad; soup and cheesecake. The restaurant is casual so you can relax. They have indoor and outdoor seating or you can do carry out. You order at the counter and your meal will be brought to your table. The Mac House isn't your typical grilled cheese or mac n cheese as many variations are offered from pizza to cheeseburger to bacon & truffle to jerk chicken to spinach and artichoke mac n cheese. For grilled cheeses you can get buffalo chicken to pimento with bacon and fried green tomatoes to bbq to caprese pesto. I tend to get the Mac House grilled cheese with garlic seasoned bread or the mac n cheese grilled cheese and it is just like it sounds with mac n cheese inside the grilled cheese. Both are so good. With the mac n cheese I like the seafood one with shrimp. As much as I love the grilled cheese sandwiches and mac n cheese. The salads are my favorite as they are so fresh. So I like that the grilled cheese sandwiches come with a side so I can get the salad with it. Then the mac n cheese grilled cheese gives me the mac n cheese too so I can have it all in one meal. Don't forget to try the cookies when you stop by for some yummy food.

Seasonal Menu
Heather H.

Ok, on my list for a while cause my favorite thing is CHEESE! I ended up getting the seasonal Fall Harvest Mac and cheese. Really... who knew butternut squash, sweet potato and cranberry qould taste so yummy in a white Mac and cheese recipe? It was delicious! Then I also got the pumpkin streusel cheesecake... oh my! Pumpkin, sweet. Apple, cheesecake... so good! I've been wanting to tey Mac House for a while and they did not fail me. Go get your Mac on!

Everything here was delicious! You can't go wrong! The workers were very lovely and helpful too!

Food Truck Time: The Mac House Food Truck at Bombshell Beer Company The Mac House has a brick and mortar in Raleigh off of Falls which I have not been to yet so I was excited to try their food truck. I ordered the Pimento BLT with a water and bag of chips. The drink and chips were an additional $2.99 and the bag of chips was small so I would not add that on next time. The Pimento BLT was really good, unfortunately the container they put it in made it soggy and my bacon was undercooked. I'll check out their mac & cheese next time.

A friend raved about how much she enjoys the Mac and Cheese here. I ordered the jerk Mac and Cheese and cauliflower. The jerk Mac was great. Really good flavor and is also very spicy but tolerable. Something different here which was worth trying. The staff is nice and welcoming to all. Made an effort to check in and asked for feedback. Very receptive.

Mediterranean Mac and Cheese
Mary Z.

Lunch here today was good! The menu is huge for such a small place, and it's very creative. We finally settled on the Mediterranean Mac and Cheese for me and the Mac Burger for my friend. My dish was loaded with fresh spinach and kalamatas and topped with feta--who knew those ingredients would work so well with mac and cheese? The regular size was almost too much for lunch. My friend loved his burger, but it definitely needed to be eaten with a knife and fork, as the "bun" was actually made from mac and cheese. He added a drink and side (chili) for $3.99. The service at this order-at-the-counter place was quick and very friendly. Tables are well spaced, they have some outdoor seating, and all staff wore masks. Check in for a free drink. The creative menu extends to monthly specials, too!

Side of cheese

Cheesesteak eggrolls - great Small regular Mac - good March special, Reuben grilled cheese- good $3 for a small Side of cheese- horrible. Good customer service, good food... prices - meh. I asked for a side of cheese sauce to use for my fries, and I was charged $3 for a small condiment side of cheese!

Bacon and truffle Mac n Cheese. So yummy!
Charlotte B.

Comfort food take me away! Mac House has been up the hill from me for awhile and I'm just now trying it. I suppose it was my fear of absolutely loving this place that kept me from trying it. But since I'm working on my winter bod anyway...here we go! From looking at the large chalkboard menu, Mac House has found a way to please every possible craving. There's classic, buffalo chicken, pizza, bbq, jerk chicken, cheeseburger, veggie options, but I hear bacon and truffle calling my name. It's order and sit down, casual, with plenty of tables. I feel it's more of a lunch place but I could get dinner here too. Fountain sodas to drink. The bacon and truffle mac arrives to my table and it's a good size portion. Oh my goodness! It is creamy, warm, deliciousness! Perfect texture and taste. I did end up taking half home but it was all for show. There are grilled cheeses and salads that looked great too! There's a burger where the bun is made of Mac n cheese! It's family owned and operated from what I understand and I think that's pretty cool. I'll be back.

Pure Vegan Café - Chipotle salad with Chik'n

Everything I've tried has been incredibly flavorful, and even if you're not vegan, I think you'd genuinely enjoy the food here. The chorizo tacos were probably my biggest surprise. They were so flavorful and had such a convincing texture that I literally had to remind myself they were vegan! Definitely one of those dishes that makes you forget you're eating plant-based. I've also tried the sweet potato fries, vegan butter chicken, and their fresh juices, and everything has been delicious. The butter chicken is flavorful and comforting, while the fresh juices are a great complement to the meal. What I love most is that the food doesn't feel like it's sacrificing flavor just because it's vegan. Everything I've had has been satisfying, well-seasoned, and made me want to come back and try more of the menu. My favorites so far: Chorizo Tacos Vegan Butter Chicken Sweet Potato Fries Fresh Juices 5 stars! I'll definitely be back because I still have plenty more of the menu to explore!

We stopped here and grabbed a pick up order on our way south! Great stop, our order was accurate…read moreand ready on time. The cafe was steady busy. We were greeted promptly. I ordered the cauliflower wings which were more like vegetable tempura with Indian spices and the kale salad. The salad was light and easy on the dressing. My husband got the chipotle chicken- it came with fries. Definitely seemed like a house made chicken. Like any good vegan, we got dessert too! Chipwich had a strawberry filling (and maybe a food coloring?) it was very good. The Belgium chocolate cheesecake was like a super fudgy brownie with a layer of cake on top!

They offer a variety of cupcakes, cookies, and donuts, all plant based and gluten free, and everything I tried was incredible. The donuts especially stood out. I honestly didn't know a vegan donut could taste this amazing. They were soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet, and packed with flavor. Not dry or dense at all, just absolutely delicious. Whether you follow a vegan or gluten free diet or just love a great dessert, this bakery is 100 percent worth a visit. You would never guess these treats are vegan and gluten free. Highly recommend.

I decided to go with a cupcake variety. You don't get to pick what kinds you want. It's whatever they are baking that week, which worked fine. Half a dozen cupcakes are around $20, so I got four of them for $80, which was the right amount for 18 people, with leftovers. Do note that the website calls them "party size". I didn't know what that meant, so I called. It means regular size, which was a good thing at that price LOL. I was glad party size wasn't mini ones. Loved that I was able to order them via their website in advance. They were nicely boxed and ready for me when I arrived Saturday morning to pick them up. Easy breezy. And they were a hit unlike previous vegan cakes I've bought in the past from other places. I asked them to remind me what flavors they were and she suggested I take pics so I could let our guests know. So the attached pics show the yummy flavors.

As more non-Indian people came in, the sat them directly next to us in a very cramped corner. So about 2/3s of the restaurant remained empty. In the about hour or so that we were there, not a single person came from the festival, so it was just a weird experience. The food was ok. I was a little surprised by how average it was with the reviews the restaurant has. The service wasn't particularly great either. I usually love naan but the garlic naan we had was pretty hard and dry. One thing that was really nice is that the restaurant gave my whole family a desert for my birthday, which is honestly what bumped my experience up from 2 to 3 stars.
