| - Comfort food focusing in "create your own" macaroni dish sounds delish! Located at the corner strip mall that's across from Galleria, in the former space where Atomic 7 was. Since I have been pasta deprived for weeks, this mac and cheese place was calling my name. So I used the excuse I have to "Yelp" this place as the reason to have some pasta!
As you open the door you can smell the savoryishness of macaroni and cheese baking(..and hear my stomach growling). A huge easy to read & follow menu is right up against the wall. Also different size containers from the "Lil Mac" to "SMH Mac" with prices listed for corresponding size is on display against the wall. You can either create your own macaroni dish or order one of their creations.They also serve sandwiches, salads, and homemade desserts! You can take your order to go or dine in. I opted on this visit to dine in, create my own macaroni dish and also try the homemade sweet potato pie for my sweet treat.
I placed my order with the cashier at the counter by following the steps listed on the menu:
Size: Solo Mac (2nd size up from the small bowl) served in a rectangular foil container
Noodles: Whole Wheat pasta (your choice of elbow or whole wheat)
Toppers: Doritos or corn tortillas (I skipped toppers)
Mixins - your choice of 2 mix ins, additional $1 after that mixins include
Vegetables/Herbs, Meats, Cheeses (Blue Cheese, Pepper Jack, Cheddar) and Specialty (Crawfish, Crab)
Vegan and Gluten free specialty Mac and Cheese is available also!
I kept it simple and ordered roasted peppers & mushrooms as my mix-ins. I was told it would take about 10 minutes. They call your # (printed on your receipt) when your order is ready. It came out a few minutes less of the estimated time.
Macaroni was oven hot, I can smell the cheese and roasted peppers coming up through the steam, the cheese bubbly & melty from top to bottom, mix ins, cheese to macaroni ratio, every bite perfect! Ingredients used are fresh. It tasted great! I only wished that I added more mix ins like the herbs to it.
Sweet Potato Pie- It's served cold, in slices, packaged already to go. It's homemade tasting, thick, dense, with little chunks of sweet potato throughout and the just right amount of spices, you can tell the crust is also handmade. I adored this dessert because it reminded me of old fashioned southern style baking with just simple ingredients.
My only complaint is that custom mac dishes can get pricey if you get carried away adding more mix-ins. For me the portions were fine but I eat like bird...soooo..I don't know how it will go over with everyone else. The small bowl is enough to feed 1, the Solo Mac which I got, will leave you with some leftovers. (Which still tasted great reheated!)
The restaurant is pretty casual. Decor bright orange and white , mod furniture in high top tables w/chairs seat 4, or invidual seating facing the wall. Service was pretty quick, staff was friendly and helpful. I was acknowledged as I entered and exited. I'll be looking forward to going back there to try different menu items next time!
