It's a bit off the freeway but you will be sooo happy you stopped in! I read another review that said the same and that's why we stopped. Macs reminded me of my aunties and felt like home. My husband loved the jerk chicken and he has a pretty low spice tolerance due to a geo tongue. I tried and thought it was good! Super juicy, not dry at all. Fries and mashers were good, pretty standard. He got the "gator piss" koolaid haha and said it was good. Cornbread was good, a little honey and or butter on the side would have helped w the moisture. Overall great food especially for the price, great service. It feels good to support a small business so if you read this and go, write a review so others can see too!

Every time I go, I end up trying something new because everything is just that good. Today I ordered the 6-piece catfish plate, a chicken & catfish combo, and a wing plate -- and every single meal came with two sides and a drink, which is such a great deal. The portions are big, the prices are super reasonable, and the food is always hot and fresh.What really keeps me coming back is the flavor -- the seasoning is on point and everything has that perfect crispiness. I also have to shout out the red beans and rice... SO good, definitely one of my favorite sides!On top of all that, the owner is always kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious, flavorful food and great portions!
