For what it is worth, the concept of MACs is extremely clever. This is Wisconsin where cheese is king. Why not start a restaurant that serves one of the best American comfort foods being pasta with great cheeses? Winning idea!
I dined where with my sister during the weekday a little bit after the lunch rush. The restaurant was pretty quite with only a few diners. Very clean and not overly sophisticated. For my dish, I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Mac, large. Had someone told me the portion sizes were going to be so large, I would have gotten a small! It was impossible or me to eat it all in one sitting. I saved more than half for lunch the next day. Mac n cheese is already a heavy meal when it is served solo. Adding chipotle sauce and chicken to it makes it even more fulfilling.
Overall, I was satisfied with my selection. I would have cut back on the chipotle sauce. It seem to overpower the cheese a tad bit. From my observation, the chicken is white meat which is a HUGE plus in my book seeing that I do not eat dark meat chicken.
Service was a bit slow. Took about 12 minutes to get our food despite us being 2 of 5 total customers. My sister and I were not in any rush so it was fine. Cashier/waitress apologized for the long wait. Again. Not a big deal. She was super friendly.
I would like to give MACs another try ordering something else off their menu. Considering I am dieting, I am not sure if this is a good idea but what the hell!
They are a big on the $ side but considering the portion sizes, you really can't complain too much.
