Since I'm lactose intolerant, I had to avoid the Mac N Cheese. but I was pleasantly surprised to find a few healthy options. Mac Shack has three salads and two soups to choose from and a build your own pasta option that all combine to meet the demands of even the pickiest of eaters.
I opted for the Spinach Salad that comes with walnuts, thinly sliced red onions and pears, not the greatest for your breath but certainly the right blend of crisp and crunchy. It even comes with a mini-muffin that was both soft and buttery. As for my pasta I went with the Red Rigatoni that was topped off with meatballs, sausage, and roasted red peppers. I did enjoy the meatballs and sausage where were more than I expected with such an affordable dish.
This is a great place if you have a hankering for some quick pasta and maybe a salad but are crunched for time. The service was friendly and attentive and the food came out fast and tasty. I'll give it three stars for you can enjoy yourself and even add a glass of wine with fast food Italian, but it certainly isn't the place to go if you're seeking a gourmet Italian experience.
