| - Nice little hippy looking place, with jenga blocs.
I ordered their 1 lb Mac 'N Cheese for 15$.
Alright, I was expecting a lot more from a restaurant that serves every item on the menu with cheese. Except...The macaroni was cooked al dente, which is probably the only positive thing I can say about the plate.
In terms of presentation, it looked like a mess, as it came in a cardboard box, so the browned cheese was found in lumps here and there instead of covering the pasta/cheese mix.
In terms of ingredients, other than the cheddar cheese (I presume) and macaroni, it contained cauliflower and green peas. I'm not sure where they got the idea that cauliflower and green peas would add, in any way, to the classic dish. It might look a little more pleasant, but you know green peas and cauliflower don't taste much right?
Whatever their reason, the Mac N Cheese I had probably tasted as good as the cardboard box that contained it. It lacked so much in flavor that even salt, pepper, and their spicy mayo couldn't save it. For this dish, I'm giving it a generous 2/5.
However, thank the Lord my friends ordered different items on the menu, including a 6$ (so much more affordable) poutine, which was decadent (see Tony Kangrui L's review), but a bit too salty apparently.
What they call tater tots is actually breaded (with mashed potato powder, I suspect) mash, heavy on the cheddar, which tasted very nice next to my whole pound of cardboard-style Mac N Cheese, with green peas and cauliflower.
So taking everything into account, I'll rate this an overall 3/5.
tl;dr: DONT TAKE THE MAC N CHEESE!!
