We love this place and I'm so glad it opened up an easy drive from our house. I personally travel for work and when I get home from a trip, I want something fast, I want something good, and honestly I want something that feels more like home; but I definitely don't want to cook. Twisted Mac hits that right on the target for me. What is a better definition of comfort food? We're both kind of locked onto the Brisket at this point but have had a few others before that such as the Truffle and the Cacio e Pepe which were all great. Excited to see they're doing specials now. People are very friendly. Place is clean. Cheese cubes are quite entertaining and as another person implied, creepy. Hope we got a keeper here. read more

Great spot with plenty of parking, which already makes the visit easy and stress-free. From the moment I walked in, the place was clean and well-kept. Kenny welcomed us warmly and took the time to walk us through the menu, which made the experience feel very personal and inviting. We ordered the buffalo mac & cheese, pesto mac & cheese, and cacio e pepe mac & cheese, all with chicken added. We also tried the mac & cheese bites. Everything came out fresh, hot, and flavorful. The buffalo mac was my favorite--perfect kick from the buffalo sauce paired with the creamy mac and crispy chicken. My husband really enjoyed the cacio e pepe for its rich, peppery flavor. The pesto mac was also really good with a nice balance of creaminess, basil, and freshness from the tomatoes and mozzarella. The mac & cheese bites were crispy on the outside, soft inside, and paired really well with the truffle alfredo sauce. Portion sizes are huge--we definitely had leftovers for the next few days, which is always a win. Overall, great food, friendly service, and generous portions. Would definitely come back again. read more

This is a good lunch place to take the youngsters as in those in the family under the age of 21 and its known they are picky eaters. The best dishes are the macaroni and cheese. The meat ball sandwiches are filling and have good flavor. Any picky eaters out there can now know they will enjoy their lunch. I have been to this spot, the El Cerrito spot and South Bay spot in Milpitas. Each location the food is good. I really enjoyed my meat ball sandwich. read more

I finally got to personally visit Twisted Mac, the new restaurant located within the Crestview Village shopping center. I stopped by earlier today to see about ordering a Mac and cheese casserole for a potluck for later. I was happily welcomed by the manager, Russell. He was able to put together a large order of their smoked macaroni and cheese and stated everything is made from scratch and made to order. I noticed there were a lot of Jr. High kids there, and they said they enjoyed hanging out there to get an after-school snack too. I returned later in the afternoon to pick up my order. I am not usually a macaroni and cheese person, but this dish was delicious and does not even compare to the boxed macaroni and cheese. read more

Found this place on a whim when my friend and I were looking for somewhere new to eat. And who doesn't LOVE mac & cheese??? It's located in a very unassuming spot in the shopping center, right next to Big 5. The location could use a bigger sign for awareness. When we walked in we were immediately greeted by the gentleman behind the counter. There were a couple of people waiting for what looked like to-go orders. The overall ambiance is quaint and very clean. They also have s couple of tables outside. We asked the employee for a recommendation as well as his favorite item, and he said it was the BBQ Brisket Mac & Cheese. My friend went for that option while I ordered the Pesto Mac & Cheese. Both were delicious. We liked the addition of the pickles in the Brisket Mac & Cheese. My Pesto Mac & Cheese also came with chicken and had great flavor! The portions are big... we both took our leftovers home with us. I will definitely go back so I can try some other items on the menu! read more

Looking on yelp for someplace new to eat. This place popped up. MAC n CHEESE restaurant?! We're in! 8 minute drive. The owner was absolutely amazing. Great customer service. Asked questions about how we found them. Gave us free drinks and Mac n cheese balls. The cashier was nice, but couldn't help us figure out how to pronounce certain menu items which really was not a good look for a new restaurant. We felt dumb. Now the food. The brisket was really good. The cheese sauce on the noodles was more like soup. Not a unique or distinctive cheese flavor either. We took it home and added some pepper, shredded cheese and bbq. Made it better. The Cacio e Pepe again had a thin cheese sauce. There was no pepper flavor and due to the thin sauce there was no distinction with the multiple cheeses purported to be there. We took that home and doctored it as well. There was a weird squishy cheese block to play with on the tables but then I got skeeved out by how many people have touched it with their hands and immediately stopped playing with it. There did not appear to be any condiments like pepper, salt, hot sauce (it's macncheese; hot sauce is required). Overall, the service was great but the food would not bring us back. I hope the owner takes some feedback and makes some improvements cause there's potential for greatness. read more

I just tried twisted Mac. The food here is absolutely delicious. I had the barbecue brisket, mac & cheese and barbecue chicken mac & cheese. I would absolutely recommend this new restaurant. It's right next to big five on Manzanita. There is just a tiny little sign above the door. You have to really look for it but it's worth it. The Owner Russell was super nice. read more

Yummy mac! I prefer my Mac creamy over dry and crispy. Twisted Mac definitely delivered. We got the cacio a pepe, spicy calabrese, brisket, and my friend took home a new pesto chicken they were testing out. My partner said he would have liked a bit more meat in the brisket bowl, but I can imagine that would jump the price WAY up. So, I felt the pricing seemed fair for how much they gave in the bowls. But it also means we probably won't order the brisket again because of that. Still giving them 5 stars because the overall restaurant was clean, welcoming, and it's a great spot to sit and chat while enjoying a casual meal. read more

Decided to try Twisted Mac after reading some great reviews and hearing from family friends about this place. First the place was completely empty at 6:30 pm on Saturday night, not a great sign. Second we wanted to try the Cacio E Pepe Pizza and was told that they were out of the sauce, period no suggestions for something else. Should have seen the sign and went somewhere else but we were committed. We ordered the Brisket Mac and Cheese, Sausage Pizza, and the Sicilian Pizza along with 3 beverages. When ordering the young man at the counter gave me a little bit of grief because I guess when I asked for the brisket Mac and cheese it sounded like biscuit, but whatever. We were not given any lids for our fountain drinks and the 2 gentleman working did not acknowledge us still at the counter. We went ahead and found a table. Our food was delivered 2 pizza boxes and the to go container of Mac and cheese, some plastic utensils, no plates. We tried unsuccessfully to open the pizza boxes and eat without plates at the table and just decided to take it home. Once again tried to get lids for our drinks now that we were leaving. Finally got someone's attention and asked for lids, we were given 2, there were 3 of us. Asked again for an additional lid, both gentlemen ignored us. We just left. Once we got our food home the pizzas were not cut well and the center was not cooked enough, I am not a fan of floppy pizza especially when the dough looks white and very obviously not cooked through. We ended up cooking more at home and after that we ate. The pizza was ok, nothing special and after cooking it more to our liking was still just ok at best. The Mac and cheese was also just ok, the brisket was tasty and tender, the bbq sauce was tangy and good. I just wasn't impressed. Custom service was not good. For the price (about $60 plus tip) I don't think we will be back. read more

Food was delicious, portions are very generous. I had the brisket mac & cheese, and my daughter had the kid's mac. The owner and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. The cheese blocks on the tables are awesome, my daughter loves them! read more

Tried this restaurant on Saturday for the first time, we had the brisket Mac n cheese and the classic mac n cheese, which were both delicious. The cheese is very creamy and flavorful, not too rich.

Twisted Mac - Classic Mac and Cheese - New American Near Me - Carmichael, California

I noticed this place just opened up in the shopping center by my house, so I came by to try it out. Im a little torn on the rating, between a 3 and 4, so I went with the 4 because it was good. Me and my wife got the truffle Mac and cheese. The cheese sauce and consistency of the Mac and cheese was really good, no complaints. This is where they lost me. It says in the description that is has bread crumbs, like a lot of specialty Mac and cheee does, but the problem is, they don't use bread crumbs. They use crushed up croutons. I did not enjoy the croutons at all. They might have been good and crunchy when they put them in there, but with the heat and steam of the Mac and cheese, and the closed lid, it changes the texture of them. It didn't become soggy, but it definitely had a stale taste to it. As of now, if I were to come back, I would definitely order without the croutons. My daughter ordered the kids classic Mac and cheese, and she had the same problem. Except she just didn't want to eat it because of the croutons. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza. The pizza looks amazing and the crust I would say was pretty good, but the sauce tasted like some spaghetti sauce right out of the jar. That's really all I could taste. Now they do have an amazing home made ranch. I think their menu has a lot of potential, but those couple things I named were enough to not come back unless changed. Im am leaving a good star rating, because I think what they do good, is really good. read more

We thought it would be better. We had the cheeseburger macaroni and the cauliflower bites. You get big portions. The people are nice but the food seemed too rich for our taste. We did not eat the macaroni. Ate like half the bites. And they put on the receipt that we were a doordash driver. Macaroni grill is great and it said they were under macaroni grill. read more

Portions are big, they missed one of our delivery items,I called and they offered to remake it or i could call the delivery service and get a refund. Was disappointed in not getting my whole order. I ordered the BBQ Mac n cheese and no where in the description does it say it is spicy BBQ sauce or has pepper (which i do not eat), unfortunately I was not able to eat it. Wouldn't say its bad, wouldn't say its excellent. read more

Nice staff , no ambiance in the restaurant . I ordered a sausage and pepper submarine to go. I live 10 min away . When I took it out to eat it I was disappointed. The roll was soft and made the sandwich mushy . The ingredients ( sausage and slices of bell pepper were greasy . It only had a few pieces of red bell pepper on it . I took a bite and found that the sausage was not fully cooked as it was pink inside . I took it out of the roll and zapped it in the microwave. It was not Italian sausage so the taste was bla. Cost was $14.06 . I doubt I will go back to try anything else . For me , I will not go back for more read more

Some of the Mac's are very dry not creamy . Small inside did enjoy there drinks selection comfortable seating. Restroom needed attention.

All around great experience super clean establishment great service and best of all good food will definitely be coming back for more if any anyone is a mac and cheese type of person this is the spot to go many different options and size options for kids as well 10/10 would recommend read more
