| - Mac and cheese that you can customize in a number of ways. It's like Chipotle, but with mac and cheese. Already off to a good start in my book. The Living Social certificate was also a good incentive to head on over.
The menu consists of two sections - pre-defined creations or a list of items so you can make a custom mac. I opted for the pre-defined Mex Mac. Jalepenos, chorizo, ground beef, and tortilla chips. DC opted for a custom - mushrooms and bacon with whole wheat noodles. I was a little skeptical about this notion of pre-made mac and cheese, but they have a good set up. The noodles are separate from the bechamel and the mix-ins. Everything is mixed together when you order it, and then popped in the oven to get bubbly and gooey.
Both iterations came out of the oven with a baked crust of cheese. They were hot and steaming and really hearty. The cheese could use some more seasoning, but the mix-ins really added a lot. The Mex Mac was loaded with flavor and spice, and the custom mac was pretty good too.
Overall, the pricing was decent for the amount of food, and the flavor was good. The atmosphere inside was kind of bland and could use a little sprucing up or some color.
I dont think I would go out of my way to come here, but if I am in the area I will definitely stop by. The mac and cheese was especially great this weekend with the cooler temps - I wonder how they'll fare in the summer.
