| - Went to lunch a little later the other day and went to Whole Foods. The selection wasn't looking so great so I turned to Yelp, of course, to find nearby and interesting options. Mac Shack was in the same plaza. I saw this place over a year ago when I first moved to Vegas and was supposed to try this place sooner, but never did. I honestly love their slogan, Fork and Spoon Forever; it reminds me of some of my relatives' homes in HI when I was growing up. They had the super-sized wooden fork and spoon hanging decor in the dining room.
Anyway, this being my first time and my lunch break, I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a sit down restaurant. There were two people in front of me, so it gave me a little more time to view the menu selections. I was sold on the Taco Mac after the server showed me the large cereal sized bowl it comes in.
So my belief is that if you have to add more condiments to your dish to meet your taste preference, then the dish isn't so great. With that being said, there wasn't a need for me to add parmesean cheese or ketchup or siracha. Not too much sour cream on top and it did compliment the taste of the dish. It came with a few stale tortilla chips. And i do wish it had a little more ground beef. I was able to dig right in, it wasn't scalding hot that I would burn my tongue. My first bite ended with drooping cheese on my chin, which I think is awesome. So every bite thereafter, I needed to cut the cheese, not in the childish context. I could only finish half of my dish.
I didn't get a chance to read the tips from other yelpers on this place, but the restaurant tips are literally part of the decor on the walls.
1. Monday night is meat-free night, meaning vegetarian dishes are 20% off.
2. Tuesdays, kids eat free
3. Wine down Wednesdays
4. M - F lunch combo is $7.95
5. They have an app so if you're in the area, you can order and pick up or they can deliver.
Oh, and the bathrooms! Very clean! The wall has a huge photo mural that also covers the bathroom door, making it a little hard to fond. The sink is a huge pasta pot, one of the coolest things ever seen!
Friendly staff + good food + great deals + comfortable atmosphere + super clean bathroom = 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5 STARS and me coming back for more with family and friends.
